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, ...

Lingkaran Setan

taken from internet

Lingkaran setan dimulai ketika kamu mulai mengeluarkan beberapa lembar uang atau sebatang kartu dari dompet, memberikannya kepada mbak kasir yang cantik, struk dicetak dan taraaaaa "Anda mendapat voucher free 50ribu setiap pembelian 150ribu berikutnya"

Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya membeli koper seharga satu juta dua ratus ribu rupiah. Yang membuat saya wow itu bukan harga kopernya tapi voucher yang saya dapat setelah membayar koper tersebut. 10 voucher seharga 50ribuan, dua voucher diskon 20% dan satu voucher diskon 10%. What the!

Bulan lalu, saya dan teman satu tim pergi karaoke, berdua belas orang. Setelah membayar untuk karaoke dua jam, kita mendapatkan voucher gratis satu jam. Yang kemudian kita gunakan lagi satu minggu kemudian. Satu minggu kemudian kami karaoke 2 jam (satu jam free voucher dan satu jam berbayar), eh dapet voucher free satu jam lagi. Ya Tuhan betapa hal ini sangat menyesatkan!

Nggak bisa disalahkan dong, itu strategi marketing membidik customer. Kita merasa 'ah kan gratis, ada voucher lho'. Yaaa... marketer akan mengatakan 'Go..Go..spend your money in your wallet'. Hati kita pun mengatakan 'Oh men! it's not wasting much money, I got this voucher, and will get another voucher when I buy this one'. Yaaaa terusin aja deh.

Kita sebut hal itu Lingkaran Setan 😜

Voucher ini sangat amat bermanfaat ketika shopping untuk lebaran. Tau kan kalo lebaran banyak orang borong baju biar 'Baju baruuu alhamdulillah... tuk dipakai dihari rayaa'. Pernah beberapa taun yang lalu belanja buat lebaran, buat orang satu rumah, abis banyak dan dapet voucher banyak, sampe kita dikasih sama orang, padahal kita juga dapet banyak voucher. Muak kali ya itu orang liat voucher yang nggak abis-abis didapet.

Ini strategi marketing sodara-sodara. Ada yang dirugikan? Hmm I dont think so. Karena.... marketer dapat memenuhi target penjualan, kitapun senang dengan harga diskon yang katanya masih untung banyak buat sellernya.

Kalau teman saya sih, sekalinya beli dan dapet voucher, langsung disobek. Biar nggak keterusan belanja 😂😂 Oke I always do the same actually. Dapet dan sobek! Kecuali pas shopping lebaran 😏

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

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...

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...
