Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

[Piknik] Welcome Gili Air



Congratulation! Fresh Oxygen Fresh Oxygen Fresh Oxygen

Iya, kita sedang berada di Gili Air yang absolutely no motorcycles, no cars and any other motorized vehicle! Congratulation!!!!


Ceritanya, sebelum kita memasok oksigen terbersih di dunia ini, kita harus nyebrang menuju Gili Air menggunakan kapal. Ya iyalah kapal, nggak mungkin juga kan pake pesawat ato kereta. Rencana awal kita mau nyebrang pake slow boat yang 15ribuan. Eh ternyata katanya ombaknya gede jadinya mereka nggak beroperasi. Terpaksa harus speed boat. Yayaya speed boat itu bisa diisi 10-12 orang gitu, tapi yang nganter kita maksa buat nyebrang privat aja. Baru pertama kali ya, akhirnya yaudah deh nurut. Ntah ini terlalu bego apa gimana tapi yawes lah udah terlanjur juga. 350ribu deh. Nyebrang juga cuman 15 menit tapi udah cukup bikin perut kemrucuk. Itu mah emang laper.

Akhirnya kita menjejakkan kaki di Gili Air. Pertama kali kaki menjejak disana saya langsung mikir ‘Ini masih di Indonesia kan? Kok berasa Hawai begini, bule semua, seting tempat juga hawaian banget’. Padahal nggak pernah ke hawai sih 😄

 first sight from resort

Jadi dari rangkaian 3 pulau itu, Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno dan Gili Air, Gili Air termasuk pulau yang kedua sepi. Maksudnya yang sepi banget itu Gili Meno, Gili Air, baru deh yang party party di GT. Kita nggak ke GT karena apa? Karena kita berdua nggak suka yang rame-rame heboh berisik gitu. yaudah Gili Air aja deh dulu.

Kita berdua nginep di resort pinggir pantai, Biba Beach Village. Kurang paham sih ini ‘village’ ini emang nama desanya apa cuman cara mereka kasih nama resort mereka aja karena kebanyakan resort ada village-nya. Menuju ke Biba Beach juga kita pake cidomo karena nggak paham lokasi hotelnya sejauh apa dari pelabuhan. Bisa mampus dong kalo sok tau bilangnya deket padal jauh. Dan sekali jalan cidomo ini 100ribu. Mahal? Ya MAHAL. Tapi ditempat wisata, yaudah lah mau gimana lagi ya
 



biba beach room

Satu hal yang saya tangkap dari penduduk disana, mereka itu ramah. Bener-bener ramah. Biasanya kan kalo daerah wisata itu ramahnya yang annoying ya. Kalo mereka bener-bener ramah banget dan helpful banget. Jadi nggak annoying. Kita beberapa hari disana, karena saking kecilnya pulaunya ya, kita jadi sering liat orang yang sama sampe apal deh. Padahal juga nggak kenal. Kayak se RT gitu kesannya haha

Yang saya suka dari sana apa? Udara yang bersih tentunya, tanpa ada motor-motor, dan orangnya yang ramah-ramah. Untuk liburan, so energizing. Tapi untuk tinggal disana, hmmm hmm hmmm asal nggak sendirian aja nggak apa-apa. Tapi resikonya, jadi makin legam 😁

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

Write Down Your Dreams, They Said.

Moscow Yes, all things I have and I do right now is all the things that I have written down on papers, during my sleeps, in my consciousness, in my visions. So let's do that again here.  I have another dream that I really think of. It's the thing I want to do when I have so much money, or enough money, or when money doesn't matter anymore, or who knows!  I wanna build a school for kids who can't afford to go to school. I want them to pay nothing, and I want them to learn the basic things like how to respect others, how to tell people their ideas/opinions, familiarize them with being kind, how to think logically, how to solve problems, etc. All the basic survival things in life.  I think my passion is always in education, but I don't always like to follow the old-school rules. There are so many important things we don't learn at school that I think should be taught there. Once we graduate from school, we usually don't know how to navigate life. Who taught you...
