Book: The Midnight Library

It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves.  So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them.  This contains spoiler of course.  Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born.    The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....

Kecintaan sedari dulu

Well... let me tell you about one of my best here. His name is Sunan Andriono. I call him Emon, why? Because he love to see Doraemon since I knew him. I met him in middle high school, 7th grade. We were classmates. He said hi to me first, then we become friend since then. At that time, Siti Nurhaliza (Malay singer) was very famous. I like her too, but not a big fans. But Emon, he really loves Siti. He collected all things about Siti Nurhaliza. Album, Photo, and many things. I was so surprised at that time, and thought "Wow... there is a boy, little boy who admire Siti so much. Wow.. wow..wow.. big fans of her". and thought that I don't think there is a little boy admire Siti so much.

after Milla wedding

In the middle high school, we always went home together. Four of us (with Geby and Milla). Milla also collect some pics of Siti too, so when Milla and Emon talking they just talk about Siti, mostly. Next grade I wasn't their classmate anymore. But Milla and Emon still being a classmates until graduate from mid high school. So.. we just talk when free time at school, or when going home, not in class. Next step we go to high school. Still, four of us studied in same school. I didn't get any chance to be his classmate anymore. Because he was in Language program class, and I was in natural science class. So cant get lots time to talk. Just talk some time, and asked "Are you still a big fans of Siti Nurhaliza?". He said "Absolutely yes yes. I love her so much". Oh wow... great.. he still a big fans of Siti Nurhaliza.

 Novia pre-wedding photo shoot
he is a great photographer, I love the pics he was taken


Someday he told me he want to meet her. I just said, "Go see her concert, then you gonna meet her right?". I didn't meet him for some time, then I saw his photo profile of all social media was his picture with Siti Nurhaliza. I was so surprised and thought "OH God!! Finally he met her, really". I was curious and ask him, and he said "YES.., I MET HER AND SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I got her autograph, photo with her. Such an amazing things".

 
jeng jeng jeng he met her in 2012 for the first time !!!


Finally he met her after waiting for hmmm more than 9 years maybe (am I right emon??? :D)
Maybe you wanna go to see her concert again?

New update : he went to see her again last year (2014). He got an opportunity to see her again.
He told me that he met Siti's assistant and talked many things then the assistant said to Siti "Siti, this is Sunan"
And Siti said "Ohh... here you are. How are you Sunan? I heard about you from my assistant".
See..... how happy he was when Siti said that to him. Then he got her autograph again but didn't get any chance to take a pic because of Siti's schedule. Over all ..... CONGRATS Dear!!!!

Pengalaman Bikin (Free) Schengen Visa di VFS Swiss

I know this is so normal but anyway I like to compare the experiences because people might have different cases and because I have nothing to lose so... here's my experience for applying Schengen Visa via Swiss (VFS). Kenapa nggak via Belanda? Karena rencana kita berkunjung lamanya ke Geneve - Swiss (ada urusan kerjaan suami gw) dan kami belum tau akan ke Belanda apa nggak saat itu (nggak jadi sih soalnya mepet banget).  Seperti yang sudah sering dibahas orang lain perihal syarat dan ketentuan apply Schengen visa, gw nggak akan nulis itu ya. Udah ada di website VFS, lengkap. Gw cuma tambahin dikit-dikit aja infonya yang mungkin sama seperti kasus yang baca kalo emang kebetulan sama sih 😂 "Ok jadi total pembayarannya 280 ribu rupiah ya" "HAH?? Cuma 200an mbak??? Visanya gratis???" "Suaminya masih WN Belanda kan mbak?" "Iya" "Oiya itu gratis, bisa pake visa tipe C. Jadi cuma bayar biaya admin aja" ...

Not A Robot

  There are so many things I did recently. It was all started since February. Not to complain about this, I just want to write it to release the stress. Because I know every choices has its own risks. Started from January, I commits to work on another blog of mine. Joining with another friend, we are committed to post at least one writing every week with different theme each week. This is still under construction *ahem, ini bukan bangunan* to make it good to read at. I will publish it here once it is ready to be published. We both are trying to be consistent. So far, I have been consistent and always post one every week. After decided to get married, I realize that it won't be that easy. No matter what, marrying someone never be easy. About the preparation and this and that. To be honest, I will not having a big feast for that. I will invite my close friends and family, although I still have to respect what my parents want to invite the neighbors (one block neighbors are tota...

[Book] Dunia Cecilia

'apakah kalian membicarakan hal semacam itu di surga?' 'tapi kami berusaha tidak membicarakannya dekat-dekat Tuhan. ia sangat sensitif terhadap kritik' Yap, sepenggal dialog antara Cecilia dan malaikat Ariel. Saya mengenal Jostein Gaarder sejak kuliah. Ehhhh 'mengenal' dalam artian kenal bukunya ya, kalo bisa kenal pribadi mah bisa seneng jingkrak-jingkrak hehehe. Jadi karena teman saya mendapat tugas kuliah membaca satu novel filsafat berjudul Dunia Sophie, saya jadi sedikit mengetahui si bapak Gaarder ini. Enak ya tugasnya anak sastra baca novel, tugas anak matematika ya baca sih, tapi pembuktian kalkulus -_- Dunia Cecilia ini buku pertama Jostein Gaarder yang saya baca, karena buku Dunia Shopie sangatlah berat berdasar review teman saya. Saya sih nggak perlu baca buku itu karena teman saya sudah benar-benar mahir bercerita. Jadilah saya sudah paham bener cerita Dunia Sophie tanpa membacanya. Novel ini atas rekomendasi teman saya, dia bilang kala...
