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...

Memandang Burj Khalifa

 
View from Rove hotel 

Karena satu dan dua serta tiga alasan, akhirnya kita memutuskan untuk 'kencan' di Dubai. Nggak ada drama sepanjang perjalanan menuju Dubai, kecuali jalan panjang menuju gate. Duowooooo banget wes pokok e ya. Nggak di Soekarno Hatta, Changi maupun Dubai sana. Lumayan olahraga yes!

Sepanjang perjalanan ke Singapura, saya duduk sendiri. Jadi hepi lah bisa manjangin kaki. Begitu juga dg perjalanan menuju Dubai. Ah lega pokoknya bangku 3 dipake sendirian.

Aku nyampe duluan di Dubai, sekitar jam 1 siang. Sedangkan HJ sampai jam 9 malem. Nungguin dia dibandara sampe bego. Jadi ngapain aja aku disana? Jetlag, ngantuk. Jam biologis sih udah nunjukin jam 9 malem, tapi disana baru jam 4 sore sedangkan harus nunggu HJ sampe jam 9 malem disana kan. Hemmmm gimana cobak


Akhirnya menghibur diri dengan makan fast food, jalan-jalan muter bandara sampe oon, trus baca novel, trus ngeliatin orang-orang jalan, trus dengerin adzan yang super aduhaiiii enakkkk bener. Belom pernah denger di Indonesia adzan macem gitu. Bener-bener pengen dengerin adzan lagi lagi lagi. Baru kali ini ngerasa eager so much ke Islam yang nggak cuma di mulut aja.

Long story short, akhirnya kita ketemu. Tapi nggak ada adegan cipika cipiki cipok kanan cipok kiri soalnya prohibited daripada kita dipenjara gara-gara hal gitu ya. Kita langsung meluncur ke hotel, hotel langganan HJ yang bener-bener homey banget (ntar diceritain terpisah deh). Dan taraaaaa hotel kita ngadep Burj Khalifa. Gedung yang memiliki 3 waktu yang berbeda saking tingginya.

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...

Pakai Debit Jenius di Luar Negeri

Amsterdam Central Station  Ini pertama kalinya pakai debit Jenius di luar negeri. Pemakaian ini menggunakan sumber dana EUR yang ada di aplikasi. Jadi uang yang keluar adalah uang EUR, bukan IDR.  Untuk buka rekening valas di Jenius, tinggal ditambahkan saja bagian buka akun valas lalu pilih kurs yang diinginkan. Di kasus ini gw punya rekening EUR di Jenius yang ditujukan untuk transaksi di Eropa.  Karena kemarin lagi di Belanda, akhirnya pengen coba pakai debit card Jenius karena EDC di Belanda belum tentu bisa untuk kartu kredit saja. Sebelum digunakan tentunya jangan lupa untuk menyambungkan kartu debit ke rekening mata uang asingnya biar sumber pengeluaran juga langsung dari tabungan valas itu. Tinggal klik klik aja kok. Tibalah saatnya menggunakan mata uang EUR yang sudah kubeli dari Jenius. Waktu itu gw pakainya di Schipol, di dua toko berbeda, dan keduanya nggak bisa tap langsung. Jadi harus insert kartu, tentu bukan masalah.  Karena terbiasa dengan transaksi...
