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...

Wanna Reborn As A Cat

This one is Molly

If there is any second, third, fourth life, I would want to be born as a fat sexy cat who lives in Istanbul, fully fed and always sleeping anytime anywhere. 

This post is dedicated to our lazy kitties. My Molly is pretty social, though he/she is super lazy. Yea, we don’t know what it is yet. I suspect it’s a he but did not really attractive to a female cat. My mum told me what it is but I always take it as he. 

I adopted him when he was 4 months old. And that was in 2018. My student offered me a cat, and our forcefully taken cats have abandoned me so I said yes. She was about to move out and she had too many cats. So I adopt one. Or should I say, he took me as his slave? That sounds better.

We never buy any cats. 

He was named Cimol, I call him Molly. But many of us just call him Mol and call my sister Cim. It feels like a bundle. He is now 2 years. So in human age, he is 24 years old. Pretty mature to start his career... as a professional sleeper?


Molly is a cat that would never poop in a dirty sandbox. If he got dirty, or I would say not dirty but almost half used, he would stay around me biting me and let me know that he wants to poop but it's dirty so the slave should clean up the mess first.




The kitties in my in law's even much older than Molly. It's Boris and Rosa. They both black, pretty fat, always sleeping, and have so weird sounds. They sound like heavy smokers 😂 I think they're more than 15 years already. Super old. The only way to tell which one is which is by the white area of their nose. Though it's pretty much a game for me, always need to refresh my mind which one is Rosa which one is Boris. 



Can you see the difference of white from their nose?

We see it every day about how easier life as a cat so my husband and I are both agree that we want to be born as a cat, live in Istanbul in our next life. Well, in this term is well fed and fat. 

But anyway, do you believe in reincarnation? I do 😋

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...

Jangan minta oleh-oleh!

    Taken from internet Pernah nggak kalau kita mau bepergian, trus orang-orang pada bilang 'Jangan lupa oleh-olehnya ya' ? Pasti pernah dong ya... Yang jelas saya nggak pernah ngerti kenapa orang sering meminta sesuatu ketika kita pergi somewhere. Dulu waktu kecil juga saya suka bilang begitu. Siapa yang pergi kemana pasti deh 'jangan lupa oleh-olehnya ya om, tante pakdhe, budhe, mas, mbak'. Tapi lama kelamaan saya mikir 'saya cuman ngomong aja tanpa niat minta oleh-oleh', kecuali kalo memang kita menitipkan hal itu karena memang hanya ada ditempat yang akan dikunjungi orang tersebut, misal buku. Pernah nitip beliin buku di Korea karena emang adanya disana. Jadi esensinya oleh-oleh itu apa? Saya juga kurang tau soalnya udah nggak pernah lagi minta dibawain oleh-oleh. HJ pulang ke Belanda sana saya cuma minta beliin buku. Itupun nggak dibeliin gara-gara bukunya nggak bagus kata dia. Oleh-oleh pun ada yang sekedar apa adanya karena emang adanya begitu...
