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...

Life Recently #5

 
Tbilisi

Masih saja menebak-nebak jadwal libur sang suami yang tidak pasti. Masih saja deg deg dengan jumlah libur suami. Masih pula was was dengan kondisi suami bekerja disana. Uh yea.... all about husband. 

Masih pula menyibukkan diri belajar Bahasa Belanda, biar bisa ngobrol lancar bareng mertua. Target sih bisa lancar ngobrol Bahasa Belanda akhir tahun ini. Setidaknya untuk obrolan sehari-hari. Someday I wish that I could speak Dutch to him and he speak Bahasa in exchange. Would be super nice to have conversation in 2 different languages 😁

I also have a bonding time with my dad in law haha, in same time I learn Dutch from him. He helps a lot than my husband 😛 so great to have someone to teach me lol. He gave me an article about Agung mt in Dutch and it was like a challenge for me to understand what is written there, so I did translate to English and it was like 50% close to the original meaning haha at least I tried.

How do you feel the weather recently? Uhh Malang is extremely hot in the morning till day time and cloudy or even rain at 3 pm till night. It is okay... but it give me headache every time it gets hot and too bright. 'Oh it is 12 degree in Delden', said pa. And I said 'Oh it is 35 degree at daytime and 22 at night'. Then he said, 'Super' 😫

Saya juga belajar renang biar keren haha. Soalnya bulan depan mau diving course. Semoga pelatihnya sabar menghadapi saya yang nggak terlalu mahir renang. Sampe disuruh janji segala ke suami janji jangan takut nyemplung air. Hemm yaaa I promise. Cuman jangan bawa ke tempatnya hiu hiu buaya buaya yaaa

Saya juga masih disibukkan dengan curhatan para pelaku kawin campur, semacem saya ini agen psikolog tempat penyelesaian masalah aja ya. Dari yang curhat bingung memilih diantara dua orang sampai dokumen yang belum kelar di hari -6 sebelum menikah. Saya mah bisanya kasih saran aja yang jelas-jelas, selagi bisa bantu yaaa dibantu.

Saya juga kangen kerja huhuhu

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...

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, ...

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...
