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, ...

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.

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...
