Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Mary Poppins (returns), A Shared Moment with Grandma


I signed up for Disney+ and just realized that I got a month free. I say, let see if I am gonna like it. I saw that Mary Poppins Returns is there. It was a very unique movie I'd say. But for me, it's more than that. I shared a moment with my grandma and my two sisters.

Probably the end of 2018 or earlier 2019, we watched Mary Poppins Returns. It was my grandma, my two sisters and me. I did not know what’s Marry Poppins until my sister told me. 

"Alright let's give it a shot then."

My sisters came to Malang and stayed for the holiday. It was for a week or two. My sister had her college holiday before the exam, I believe. She said, “I want to watch a movie in the cinema. Wish me luck and get paid soon so I can take you all to the cinema.” She was the assistant professor at her university. Later that evening she got her paycheck (paycheck paid every a few months or so). 

So we went to the cinema the next day, in the evening. It was raining, so damn hard that I even heard some bang. Maybe, the cinema was on the top floor.

I told her to go to Sarinah, nearby Alun-Alun Malang because it cost only 25K/ticket. The cheapest one in Malang. It was the second time to watch a movie in the cinema with my little sister. The first one was Coco and we cried in the cinema. It was that good.

But it was, I don’t know, it must be the last time for my grandma after a long time. She bragged about how often she spent time in the cinema next door back then and that she missed watching the movies in the cinema. Our old house was just a few steps to the cinema in town. But that cinema was demolished and turned into a clothing store. 

Bought some popcorn, definitely enjoyed the movie. The way my grandma talked about the movie was so fascinating. They "reviewed" the movie on our way back home. She told everyone that her grand-daughter bought her ticket to the cinema and she really enjoyed it. She would brag it for a week or two. 

Yes, it was her last time to watch a movie in the cinema. 5 months after that, she left us. It's pretty ironic as that was my first time watching a movie in the cinema with her, but it was the last time for her to watch a movie in the cinema.

I miss her. It's been a while I haven't write about her. I just miss her. The last time I visited her grave was the day she died. I am afraid I won't be able to joke around when I visit her. Damn, that happened when I visited my grandpa, a day before I got married. I couldn't say anything but cried as if he just left us the day before. The pain is still there. I guess I am just afraid to cry out loud.

Well, both of them now sleeping next to each other so I guess... I am pretty happy they're together 💚

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

Pakai Debit Jenius di Luar Negeri

Amsterdam Central Station  Ini pertama kalinya pakai debit Jenius di luar negeri. Pemakaian ini menggunakan sumber dana EUR yang ada di aplikasi. Jadi uang yang keluar adalah uang EUR, bukan IDR.  Untuk buka rekening valas di Jenius, tinggal ditambahkan saja bagian buka akun valas lalu pilih kurs yang diinginkan. Di kasus ini gw punya rekening EUR di Jenius yang ditujukan untuk transaksi di Eropa.  Karena kemarin lagi di Belanda, akhirnya pengen coba pakai debit card Jenius karena EDC di Belanda belum tentu bisa untuk kartu kredit saja. Sebelum digunakan tentunya jangan lupa untuk menyambungkan kartu debit ke rekening mata uang asingnya biar sumber pengeluaran juga langsung dari tabungan valas itu. Tinggal klik klik aja kok. Tibalah saatnya menggunakan mata uang EUR yang sudah kubeli dari Jenius. Waktu itu gw pakainya di Schipol, di dua toko berbeda, dan keduanya nggak bisa tap langsung. Jadi harus insert kartu, tentu bukan masalah.  Karena terbiasa dengan transaksi...
