Surviving -20 Celcius in Moscow

frozen lake in Moscow I'd say surviving because I am a tropical girl coming from 30-35 degree Celcius. So yes, this is about surviving such differences in temperature. I spent my whole life in a tropical country then I have to be in a -20 celcius, not an easy situation.  Obviously, I came prepared. I have been in a 0 celcius and learned that double triple layering is the right answer. Moscow has heater that runs nonstop since the beginning of (probably, I dont remember) November until early May. So you technically can not turn it off or on. Many days it gets too hot inside. Going to the mall in Moscow got me super sleepy and tired because it feels most of the time like in Sauna. So, double triple layering in Moscow is the right thing to do.  November temperature usually started to feel chilly, still not lower than 0. December will get colder can be minus. But January and February are the coldest season. This year dropped to -20 (that I can remember). The average temperature wa...

I Don't Like Farewell

 
8 March, I told my supervisor that I am going to resign 

13 April was my last working day. I went to work and keep working like usual. I start to manage all work stuff so I can handover it to the successor.

Agak kasian sama penerusnya, karena emang baru 2 minggu kerja eh langsung ditinggal. Yaudah deh pokoknya udah diajari poin-poinnya. Tinggal dia aja nerusin.



Jam 5 kurang dikit, saya kirim email perpisahan ke semua user saya. Ke semua anak-anak saya yang ada di Thailand, India, Bangladesh. Terutama sih Thailand, itu bener-bener baru lair saya yang handle sampe hari kamis kemarin. Rasanya berat banget. But yeah...

Dear Colleagues,
This is my last day here. I would like to say billion of thanks for every chances, opportunity, supports, for every efforts while we are working together. It was so great to work with you all. Thank you for trusting me, thank you for the surprises (no days without surprises from you guys), thank you for every laugh, thank you for treat me good as your own friend, thank you for make my days, thank you for the lessons (I've learn a lot from you all), thank you for the days we've been through together, thank you for everything.

We all share good and bad things together. I do apologize for every mistakes that I made. I am sure I made a lot.

Good luck for you all. Let's keep in touch,

Prisca

Jam lima lebih dikit, kita foto-foto, skalian dikasih hadiah perpisahan gitu lah. Saya berusaha nggak nangis tapi ternyata banjiiiirrrrrrrr. Nggak  kuat, banjir deh. Mewek maksimal sampe nggak bisa ngomong. Saya yakin saya orang paling cengeng pas perpisahan ini. So emotionally, sampe diketawain HJ. Dikiranya nangis kenapa hahahha

 

dua cece yang membantu dari awal, bener-bener belajar dari bayi sama dua cece ini. Yang satunya ngajarin dasarnya, yang satunya temen sekomplotan se tim dan juga belajar banyak dari dia. Komplotan makan sianggggg


Yang bikin berat yaaaa.... I've found new friends here. Bener-bener temen-temen baek yang melindungi, mendorong ke hal positif, bener-bener baek deh pokoknya. Sampe ada seorang temen bilang, 'Aku pulang duluan, aku nggak mau nganter kamu pergi. Males aku. Aku nggak tega dan aku nggak mau. Kamu temen baikku dan aku nggak rela liat kamu pergi". Beneran dia pulang, nggak ikutan foto-foto. 

 

 
 Januar si 'baby sitter' pengganti yang aku titipin anak-anak yang lucu imut-imut



 


I am blessed. I am loved. And I am so lucky. This is what you get when you do everything with heart 💙

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...

Tiga bulan pertama hidup di luar Indonesia

Gw kira rasanya akan sama aja. Ada rasa kangen ya wajar karena jauh dari tempat yang selama ini kita sebut familiar. Tapi ternyata ada rasa rindu yang pukulannya berbeda.  Di kasus gw, gw cuma kenal satu orang Indonesia. Beliau bilang kalau mau temen jalan-jalan bisa lah berkabar biar jalan bareng. Tapi karena gw ada kerja dari senin-jumat, sedangkan beliau nggak, jadinya waktu kami seringkali nggak pas. Sedangkan di akhir pekan, gw habiskan bersama suami.  Bulan pertama masih terasa integrasi. Berusaha mengenal supermarket mana yang jual apa. Cari ini itu di mana. Menghafal jalur transportasi umum. Mengenal, membaca dan memahami nama daerah atau tempat dari huruf cyrilic-nya untuk sekedar "kalau nyasar, bisa kasih tau suami lagi ada di mana" karena seringkali online maps dihambat pemerintah.  Bulan kedua sudah mulai mengenal banyak hal. Sudah punya kartu atm untuk pembayaran. Visa panjang juga sudah di tangan. Mulai berhati-hati dengan banyak hal, mana yang boleh mana ya...

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, ...
