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...

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. Our mission lately is snapping pictures of old buildings and such around the city, as well as learning how to take beter pictures.     he is just happy and allow me to put his photo on my blog or another website and I like this shoot There is no fee to visit this museum, it is enough to sign the guest book. And then you can explore what's inside. Actually, there are not many things inside. But the objects inside tell you about the history of the Bentoel brand and how it was founded. Ong Hok Liong used his own house as the first place to produce the cigarettes and it is located in Jalan W...

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...
