Urus Pindah Domisili ke Denpasar - Bali

Balinese is a lot of thing, but one thing for sure that they work efficiently when it is related to the documents.  Gw selalu kasih tepuk tangan meriah kalau urus-urus dokumen di Bali tuh serba cepet banget. Di Denpasar ya terutama karena gw tinggal di sini. Nggak tau lagi kalau di daerah lain. Ini testimoni gw yang tiap tahun harus urus dokumen visa suami, tiap tahun harus ke Dukcapil, Polres, wira-wiri di desa urus printilan.  Akhirnya tahun ini gw putuskan untuk pindah domisili ke Bali. Yeay.   Bukan tanpa alasan, tapi karena untuk menjamin KITAP, gw harus domisili Bali. Suami gw udah terdaftar di Imigrasi Bali. Jadi daripada gw harus pindahin dia ke domisili asal gw, yang mana gw udah nggak tinggal di sana hampir 20 tahun, ya lebih baik gw yang pindah.  Ternyata, pindah KTP tuh gampang banget ya. Gw kira gw harus pulang dulu ke domisili untuk cabut berkas. Setelah tanya langsung ke domisili asal gw (Pake WA dan jawabnya nunggu lama banget), mereka bilang untuk ur...

What An Amazing Desert Tour


My husband always want to take me for desert tour. He did it once but he said it will be a different one.  I don't know how because this was my first time to do it. I can't wait for that. But first, I actually never imagine that I will be here in the desert. I mean when I was younger I never imagine that I will go to the desert. It will never on my mind till we made it last month. 

I was hesitate... Will it be fun? Will it be ok?

Then the guy pick up in the hotel. That guy look so familiar, if I was not wrong he is Moroccan (I think so). We went from hotel (around downtown) together with one family (dad, mum and a son) from Germany so it was like 'I am the only one who cant speak your language guys'. It took around 45 minutes to reach the desert. We change the car there, from a comfy cool car into a jeep, open car (this look better than the jeep to Bromo but Bromo jeep much better because it has airco inside haha!).

 
the guide

  
this one is extremely expensive

 
it's kind of herbs

They gave us a scarf, I mean scarf for the women and sorban for the men. First I thought it was for giving you the feeling of how become like arabian, but it has a real function. Covering your face from dust and storm while you are in desert. Let see our transformation here 😏

 

He took us to some place like a hill or something, a bit higher, we need to climb a bit. It was so hard because it there was storm (well actually it was only a windy but in desert, felt so difficult for me). I was thinking like 'should I give up? will it always be like this till the end of this tour?' It was hard for me haha.

can you see the wind?

The tour agent, they are really professional. They have photographers who are ready to take your photos (and seel it to you later which is a bit cheaper than Dubai Aquarium, it was AED10/photo), there are guys who take our video by drones, and really helpful friendly staff. They are all men!  Only 3 women there but they stay in the camp ( a woman who make something like prata, henna woman, and hair dancer woman).

 

After we took some photos and enjoying the stormy desert there, we continued the tour. We saw a white animal that only in the desert (they said) but I don't know what animal is that (don't even know the name) 😃. Then we are gathered in a place to see a falcon show. It is a place that they give you a fresh drink, fresh towel, and you can take rest a bit. Well yea, my ass is sore after taking a bumpy road. And also, you saw HJ talking Pashto with the staff. The falcon show during sunset and what I can get from that show is : falcon fly so fast!

don't know what it is called

Pashto speaking scene



This is what I am waiting for, dinner! They took us to the camp. Their camp is quiet nice, cool, so desert and still windy haha! They have camel btw, once in a life I tried it and it soooo amazing. At least once in a life I have this experience riding the camel! Ok there in the camp, there are women who are working for making bread (like prata), henna woman, and hair dancer woman. They set up the place so nice.

 
ride this camel for 10 seconds

 





They have cooking demo, like presentation to explain you the emirate cuisine. First presentation was about cheeses. They asked us to differentiate 3 kind of cheeses made from cow, camel and goat. Who can guess it right? HJ of course. As he so proud and said 'I am Dutch!', the rest was like 'Ya of course lah you are Dutch!' 😂


Second presentation, they asked us to guess what is the ingredients for that tasty shrimp cooking. It was sooooo tasty, I came over with one purpose. Eat the shrimp! I dont care about the ingredients but I can't say no for shrimp hahah! And then, a little girl who came over together with me guessed it right. I can only guess paper and salt, but she did more than I did. Her mum also said 'she always do good for cooking'. That maybe 8 years old girl. COme on! And all I know just eating haha! Well I am not that bad in cooking actually 😜

Then the third presentation telling us about how to make a great camel stew. Ahhh it soooo soft, tasty, always want more. Really. Taste good.

The surprise is not end yet. They serve us for the appetizer, then main course which make us like 'I think we had enough appetizer', and a hair dance performance during the dinner. They also have shisha, anyone can try it. I didn't try it, I never get along with any smoke except sate smoke.

a sleeveless little girl is so smart, she beat me!

We had enough for the desert tour and leave the camp around 10 I believe. Arrived in hotel around 11 and so tired. Extremely tired, with sandy clothes, glasses and everything feel so sandy. But amazing trip! Desert is not as bad as I thought. It was great and give me some lessons in life 😀

Gojek ke bandara juanda

While waiting, jadi mending berbagi sedikit soal gojek. Karena saya adalah pengguna setia gojek, saya pengen cobain ke bandara pake gojek. Awalnya saya kira tidak bisa *itu emang sayanya aja sih yang menduga nggak bisa*, trus tanya temen katanya bisa karena dia sering ke bandara pakai motornya. Nah berarti gojek bisa dong?? Sebelum-sebelumnya kalo naek gojek selalu bayar cash, tapi kali ini pengen cobain top up go pay. Minimum top up 10ribu. Jadi saya cobain deh 30ribu dulu. Eh ternyata lagi ada promo 50% off kalo pake go pay. Haiyaaaaa kenapa ga dari dulu aja ngisi go pay hahaha. Dari kantor ke bandara juanda sekitar 8km. Kantor saya sih daerah rungkut industri. Penasarannn banget ini abang mau lewat mana ya. Tertera di layar 22ribu, tapi karena pakai go pay diskon 50% jadinya tinggal 11ribu. Bayangin tuhh... pake bis damri aja 30ribu hahaha. 11ribu udah nyampe bandara. Biasanya 15ribu ke royal plaza dari kantor haha. Lagi untung. Bagus deh. Nah sepanjang perjalanan, saya mikir ter...

Ujian hari senin

Kejadian ini terjadi tepat senin minggu lalu. Baru kali itu aku merasa 'WOW.. ini senin yeay'. Karena biasanya 'haduhh udah senen lagi'. Kebayang kan kalo seneng begitu dihari senen menyambut pagi dan hari itu rasanya langka banget. Otomatis pengennya hari itu berlangsung indah. Jam setengah 9 pagi, seperti biasa ke pantry ambil minum bareng sama temen sebangku. Dia bikin teh, aku nyuci botol sekalian ngisi dong. Seperti biasa juga, kadang aku males sih nyuci botol dengan ritual lengkapnya, akhirnya cuman bilas pake air panas. Ya mungkin nggak sampe 50 ml juga. Dikit banget deh. Temen juga selalu bersihin gitu gelasnya pake air panas. Pic source is here Eh lakok lakok... si bapak pantry yang serem itu tiba-tiba bilang 'Gak bisa ya gak nyuci botol pake air panas? Tiap sore itu banyak komplain gara-gara airnya abis'. Yakaliii air abis tinggal isi aja, ibu yang dulu aja nggak pernah ada komplain. Ya aku bilang lah ini cuman dikit, lagian yang ngelakuin ini...

Dapet Visa UAE (Dubai) Gampang Banget

Dubai creek Beberapa waktu yang lalu, kita pusing berat karena H dapet libur kali ini cuman 10 hari. 10 hari dari yang biasanya 14 hari. Akhrinya diputuskan untuk tetap mengambil libur tapi nggak ke Indonesia.  Ternyata, beberapa hari kemudian, dia bilang, kalau liburnya malah jadi 7-8 hari aja. Mau ga mau saya yang harus kesana. Maksudnya terbang mendekatinya. Udah milih-milih negara mana yang harganya rasional, yang ga banyak makan waktu buat terbangnya H, dan tentunya ga ribet urus visa buat pemegang paspor hijau yang ga sesakti paspornya H.  Btw warna paspor Indonesia jadi biru ya sekarang?? Pilihan jatuh ke Dubai. Pemegang paspor hijau harus bikin visa, ya pusing lagi deh cara bikin visa Dubai nih gimana. Apa iya sesusah bikin visa schengen, visa US, visa lainnya. dari persyaratan sih standar ya, termasuk  record  bank account selama 3 bulan. Emang nggak pernah bikin visa Dubai sebelumnya ya, apalagi H yang paspornya super sakti kemana-mana (hampir) ga perlu vis...
