Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...

Cat and fish

I have pets at home. Cat and fish. Seems they are enemies ever. Oh no.. but no.. my cat is cute one. His name is Miki. He is so adorable. He came here when he was 3months. My neighbor came and asked us to take care of him. Ahhh he was so adorable really. He never go out of house. Funny things he always do, he never get along with another cat. He scare of almost everything like rats, fish, even cats. He only get along with Cimi. No one else, nothing else, just Cimi. Miki and Cimi. Biarpun Miki dimasukin tas plastik sama Cimi juga dia nggak bakal berontak. Super nurut deh sama Cimi. Heran deh, berasa Miki itu di pelet sama Cimi. Apapun yang terjadi, Miki slalu nurut Cimi. That's it.

mumpung lagi baik hati, Miki mau digendong lainnya.

lagi santai Miki dan lagi males. nggak beda jauh dari keset sih

Nah, piaraan lainnya itu ikan. Dulunya piara ikan 5, cuman 5, tapi setiap ditambah jumlah ikannya eh malah mati. Akhirnya ya dibiarin lima itu aja deh. Dari keciiiillll banget sampai mereka sudah gede-gede. Ada mungkin lebih dari 2 tahun umur mereka. Dulunya kecil banget, sekarang ternyata bisa gede. nah ada satu yang lucu. Dia berenangnya kebalik. apapun yang terjadi dia pasti kebalik. Kekenyangan kali ya. Semua orang yang melihat ikan ini pasti ngerasa ikan ini mati, padahal nggak. dia cuman ekspresif aja cara renangnya. dan kalau dipegang perutnya, dia malah deketin dan berlagak seperti kucing yang dielus-elus.


 selalu berenang kebalik gini kayak ikan kembung. kalo dipegang perutnya, baru dia balik badan. lucu deh ini ikan. Ini hanya atraksi.


 bisa dilihat ya ikan lainnya berenang "normal" sedangkan si ikan satu itu kebalik sendiri

[Piknik] Prambanan lagi

Salah satu pesona Jawa Tengah adalah Candi Prambanan. Saya sudah 3 kali berkunjung ke situs warisan dunia ini. Candi yang terletak di perbatasan Jawa Tengah dan jogja ini selalu menimbulkan kesan mistis bagi saya. Terletak tak jauh dari jalan raya, sehingga mengunjunginya pun sangat mudah. Berbeda dengan Candi Borobudur yang letaknya sangat jauh dari jalan raya besar.  Ok, menurut saya ada 3 cara menuju candi ini. Menggunakan bus transjogja, taksi, dan kendaraan pribadi. Bagi yang menggunakan transjogja, saya pernah menggunakannya berangkat dari daerah kampus UNY, daerah Depok Sleman. 1 kali transit, 2 kali berganti bus. Dengan harga transjogja yang kala itu, 2014, seharga 3500 rupiah. Tapi sampai saat ini masih sama harganya, menurut info dari teman. Lokasi shelter bis berada agak jauh dari pintu masuk lokasi candi, mungkin kira-kira 500meter sampai 1kilometer. Kalau jalan, menghabiskan waktu sekitar 15-20menit. Bisa juga naik becak untuk opsi yang lain. Lagi-lagi, jangan lupa...

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...
