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...

Do You Celebrate Valentine?

  
@HipDict - @9Gag

So today is 16 February, and this is Chinese new year. Happy Chinese new year!

Usually people celebrate valentine on 14 February. Not everyone, but most of people. I realize few things : some people really waiting for that day and seriously celebrate it, the other people use it for fun, and some people don't give a shit about it.

It is not a serious day to be celebrated for me. Well, maybe, usually when I was still 'active' outside, most of friends gave me chocolate (not only me but they were so kind and buy so many choco to share with people). But other than that, no. I never have a special celebration for valentine. Not even cute romantic special dinner, not even a flower (lol gw minta nih sama suami, gatau doi peka apa nggak).

So last year, I still remember, I was still working and spend my February 14th with my colleagues by eating chocolate that I had from everyone. You know it was like the only one who didn't share chocolate is me! And my fiance back then message me in the morning 'I know you don't  celebrate valentine hun but happy valentine'. That time I only said 'I just wish we can get married soon and have fix date to get married lol'. That was counted sweet message for me. And what I get yesterday from him was this :
 
Sweetest valentine message ever 😂  (taken from etsy.com)

It's not important for me to celebrate valentine, I never demand things to celebrate this kind of things. What is important for me is only how I spend the time with my husband (and good 'bed time' of course 😋). He definitely gave me more than just a romantic dinner or flower. But I do seriously want you to give me flower lho sayang 😋😂

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...

Melewati Pusuk Pass, Lombok

Kembali ke Pulau Lombok setelah dari Gili Air, kita pun 'turun' gunung menuju daerah selatan. Kita pun melewati Pusuk Pass atau orang suka bilang monkey forest. Tadinya sih dikira kayak kita masuk hutan trus yang banyak monyetnya, tapi ternyata jalanan pinggir tebing yang ada banyak monyet main-main disana. Sama persis kayak jalanan kearah rumah nenek. sampahnya nggak seharusnya disitu ya? Berhentilah kita disana. Takutnya monyetnya kayak yang di Bali itu, yang suka nyuri, eh ternyata nggak sih. Monyetnya anteng diem, makan mulu. Salah satu kesalahan pengunjung adalah memberikan makanan ke si monyet-monyet. Nggak apa sih kasih makan tapi plastiknya ya jangan dibuang disana juga lah. Sebenernya bukan dibuang disana sih, tapi monyetnya aja yang narik ngambil plastik makanan disana. Jadilah disitu kotor semua gara-gara plastik sisa makanan tadi. Eh namanya monyet ya masa iya bisa dikasih tau, 'hey monyet jangan buang sampah sembarangan!', kan ya nggak mun...
