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...

Reinkarnasi

 

Percaya reinkarnasi?

Saya sih, somehow, percaya. Entah mengapa, banyak bagian dari diri saya yang seringkali terpaut ke masa lalu. Sejarah-sejarah, kehidupan masa lalu, semua yang berhubungan dengan masa lalu, akan sangat menarik minat saya. Mungkin saya ini memang makhluk masa lalu? Atau mungkin saya ini sudah mengalami reinkarnasi keempat?

Merujuk pada drama Korea (I know it's not valid to use it as a reference), mereka percaya reinkarnasi ada 4 tahapan. Entah mengapa saya terbawa kearah sana. Dari terlahir menjadi manusia yang super nggak baik, menjadi manusia yang setengah baik, hingga mungkin menjadi manusia mendekati sempurna... Mungkin saja. Kita nggak pernah tau kan?

Kalau di drama Korea yang judulnya Man from the star, ada adegan ketika si cowok mengajak si cewek untuk melihat hairpin miliknya dari jaman joseon (again I know it is fiction, but still), dan si cewek merasakan satu feeling yang membuatnya tertaut ke hairpin tersebut, saya pun beberapa kali merasakan itu. Aneh ya haha! Makanya itu saya mikir, kok saya begitu cintanya ke apapun yang namanya masa lalu sih?

Tapi satu hal yang pasti, kalau pun reinkarnasi memang ada, dan saya masih akan mengalami reinkarnasi, saya tetap ingin menjadi diri saya sendiri. Saya mungkin bukanlah anak yang baik, saya juga bukan saudara yang baik, saya juga bukan istri yang baik dan sempurna, tapi saya tetap ingin menjadi diri saya sendiri, anak dari kedua orangtua saya, saudara dari adik-adik saya, sahabat dari sahabat-sahabat gw.

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...

Happiness is ...

Few days ago I met new friends. They are friends of my friend. I helped them for their competition. It's good to know them since the way they think about something is unique and quite close to mine. Until one of them ask me : 'What is happiness for you?' I told them that for me happiness is when I stop compare myself with others and not being compared with anybody else (well, you can compare me with others but don't tell me if you do haha!). I used to compare myself with people. For following their success path might be ok, but for having the same life as theirs who seen successful and happy, I don't think so. So I stop to compare myself with others and it make me feel enough. I feel more relax, since I don't have to pretend or to be somebody else. I feel more 'me' because I only think about me and free to do what I want to do (or to think what I want to think). But one of them said 'For me happiness is when you can breathe, eat, sleep, and p...

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...
