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...

I Have Found the Joy of Cooking


steamed chicken and broccoli

Yes, I finally found the joy I have when cooking. I am not a good cook really. I only cook when I had to. Usually when I cook, I just did it halfheartedly because I had to eat right? Though I really love food, but cooking was not part of it. 

But lately after I came back from The Netherland, I saw them always cooking things (of course, there are no warung that sell cheap ready to eat food) and they usually are tasty. A bit before I came back to Bali I was craving for good bakso. It's hard to find good Bakso Malang in Bali. Oh yes I am picky for this. Then I was also craving for other simple yet hearty food. 

steamed chicken

Then I decided to just buy whatever I need, start to really cooking stuff with good recipes. Recipe here is the one that will give you proper 1 tablespoon of salt, not a pinch of salt, you know what I mean. 

Though I was craving for good bakso, the first thing I made was steamed chicken recipe from Wilgoz. I bought a new steamer so of course I need to try it out. It blew my mind that I made it so good. Real good that I forgot that I made it myself. When I say the food is good, I mean it. 

bakso and egg tomato

Of course, after the first succeed, I attempted to make another dish. This time is the bakso. The meatball. I asked my friend who are the bakso master, she told me without a precise measurement but I made it and it was really good meatball! 

The third recipe was simple egg tomato. This was wild because I usually don't like tomato mashed into anything, but this was so good that blew my mind. Yes, what blew my mind was "DAMN I CAN COOK" with correct and precise recipe. 


sapo tahu and fried noodles

Last week I just found the joy of cooking. Literally the joy of doing it. How can I know that? When I enjoy eating so much what I cook that day. DAMN! 

Again, it blew my mind! 😂

Probably because I was not forced to cook, so I enjoy doing some experiments from the simplest to the medium hard recipes. Now every time I feel like eating and my brain busy thinking what to make, my fingers are no longer clicking food menu on the Grab/Gojek. Instead, I wrote down what I need to get from the supermarket to make my own dish. I am doing groceries every day or two to make everything fresh and no need to keep it too long in fridge. 

bihun goreng and chicken wrap for lunch

tempe orek rebon (but I add chicken liver too) and sambel ganja

capcay with noodles instead of rice

Oh yes I still buy some food obviously, but it's like once a week or even less. Like if I randomly want to eat rujak cingur, I'd just buy you know. I wouldn't bother to make it from the scratch. 

So now, whenever I try out a recipe and I like the result, I write it down into a special book to document that "Hey this is the food that I enjoy making".

By cooking more often I can control what I eat, what enters my body, everything. It's hearty, tasty, and amazing. More importantly, it makes me happy! 💚

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...
