Getting my Hands on Film Camera

In attempts to slow_myself_down_away_from_digital_life, I am getting my hands on film camera. Yes, the kind of camera where you need to put the film roll in and then start snapping. If you are lucky, the pictures will turn up good but if not then we let the fate decide. This is not my first rodeo on using film camera, but it definitely the first ever to buy the film and develop it using my own money. It is not cheap, which I know.  What can I say, it's an expensive hobby.  I used my first film roll to take photos of my favorite people. So it has more human than random pictures. It was on family event. After the last shot, I wanted to develop it before I flew to Bali but they had no lab. Luckily we have the lab in Bali. I developed and scanned the film in Ojisanfilmlab Bali. They're just a google away. They sell the roll as well. I had to tell the TSA to do the hand checking rather putting it through the scanner. They understood.  Cimol hides himself in his favorite spot ...

Personal Approach

Dulu saya orangnya pemalu, susah bergaul dengan orang baru, dan hal itu bertahan hingga awal SMP. Tapi karena lama-lama koneksi dan kegiatan semakin banyak, akhirnya saya mulai memberanikan diri untuk bergaul dengan orang lain.

Lama-lama makin dewasa ya, makin banyak kegiatan yang melibatkan banyak orang, pikiran mulai berkembang, akhirnya mulai memiliki lebih banyak koneksi. Terutama ketika mulai mengajar di semester akhir kuliah. Mulailah bertemu dengan murid-murid yang nggak tau sama sekali sifat dan karakternya. Lah gimana cara ngajarnya kalau karakternya aja nggak tau? Ya akhirnya saya melakukan pendekatan personal kepada setiap murid yang saya tangani.  

Tanpa pendekatan personal, saya yakin itu ibarat sayur tanpa garam, micin dan MSG. Nggak gampang juga karena karakter mereka aneh-aneh dan saya bertanggungjawab atas ilmu yang akan ditransfer dan harus membuat mereka memahami dan nyaman ketika bersama saya. Dari situ saya gali beberapa hal yang membuatnya minat dan semangat untuk belajar. 

Jadilah sampai sekarang saya cenderung menganggap penting orang yang bekerja dengan saya, jadi saya harus melakukan pendekatan personal. Eh bukan kepo kok, hanya berusaha membuatnya nyaman dan menerima keberadaan saya dan tidak terganggu dengan bekerja bersama saya. 

Disini pun begitu, meskipun saya sadar kalau dilingkungan ini akan ada yang datang dan pergi, tapi setidaknya saya pun membuat lingkungan kerja jadi nyaman untuk diri saya sendiri dan jika memang beruntung, mereka pun juga merasa nyaman. 

Di tempat kerja saat ini, saya pernah memegang beberapa affiliates, seperti Hongkong, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Filipina (untuk sesaat), India, Bangladesh. Dari sekian affiliates yang ada, secara otomatis karakternya berbeda antara satu Negara dengan Negara lainnya. Tugas pertama saya, tentu saja mengenal karakter umumnya, kemudian mempelajari karakter personal baru kemudian bekerja bersama. Dari beberapa Negara tersebut, jarang sekali ada yang mengecewakan saya karena memang sama-sama nyamannya. Bahkan kalau satu teman satu tim absen, dan bukan saya yang jadi back up-nya, mereka mencari saya. Hongkong pun sudah lama saya tinggal tapi mereka masih sering menghubungi saya. Kayaknya belom bisa move on hahaha

Affiliate yang paling saya sayang itu Thailand. Semua user dari sana awalnya serem, tapi ternyata setelah kenal mereka asik juga buat kerja sama, bahkan sampai kita dekat dan mengirimkan sesuatu buat saya yang bikin iri teman satu tim. 

Resiko dari pendekatan personal ini, ada yang terlalu attach dengan saya, ada yang baru dibantu sekali dan hal kecil saja langsung pengen ngajak makan malam pas kunjungan kesini. Ada juga yang bilang suka hahahahha, sampe ada beberapa cewek Thailand yang berkali-kali manggil ‘sweetheart, sweety’ dengan ucapan love you instead of thank you. Kalo yang ini serem, cewek soale haha

Tapi… dengan kenyamanan yang terbentuk, team work pun berjalan lancar dan tanpa hambatan 😄

Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...
