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...

Short Visit to Bentoel Museum

  This is part of improving my photography skill. So my friend, Sunan, will be included here.   It was a sudden decision. So we decided to visit Bentoel Museum in Malang. It's like House of Sampoerna (which I never visit and only plan to visit but no action). Why did we want to visit this museum? Because the museum is actually the house of Bentoel's founder.

Hoax Yang Makin Menggila

  Kabar burung atau yang sering dikenal sekarang dengan sebutan HOAX mencapai level yang sangat melelahkan. Hoax memang sudah ada sejak dahulu kala, sejak dari awal ku mengenal HP. Hoax yang sering terjadi adalah SMS yang tersebar menggunakan nama nabi atau tuhan atau agama dan mewajibkan orang yang menerima SMS tersebut untuk menyebarkannya sebanyak puluhan kali. Jika tidak disebarkan dalam hari yang sama maka penerima pesan akan mengalami nasib buruk, bahkan meninggal dan tidak akan pernah bahagia. Serem kan? Jadilah diriku yang masih SMP kala itu bingung sekali apa yang akan terjadi padaku dan juga orang yang kukenal jika ku tak segera broadcast pesan biadab tersebut dalam hari itu. Jikalau pulsa sedang cukup, maka sesegera mungkin kusebar. Jika tidak, yaaa segera ku berangkat beli pulsa. Bodohnya aku. Nah, masuk SMA, ku mulai bertanya-tanya apa iya kalau pesan itu nggak disebarkan kita bisa celaka? Karena penasaran akhirnya ku tantang diriku. Tapi doa dulu dong, "Ya tuh...
