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...

An iPad #2

Masih inget ndak soal si adek kecil yang pengen banget punya iPad dan berniat mendapatkannya dengan cara ngomong bahasa inggris sama si mas? Minggu kemaren saya skype sama si mas. Seperti biasa dong ngobrol sana sini ngalor ngidul begitu, eh tiba-tiba  dia nanya "Cimi mana?", jadilah manggil si adek. Ndak taunya si adek semangat banget mau skype. Ndak tau kenapa dia sering juga minta skype duluan ke mas

Kita jadi share headset tho, salam pertama seperti biasa "Hai iPad". Si mas itu laki kok ya dipanggil iPad -_-, gitu ya si mas bales panggilnya "Hey miss iPad". Alamakk mereka cocok sama gilanya. Nah karena syaratnya itu harus bisa ngobrol bahasa inggris aktif, jadilah si adek mulai ngobrol. dia bilangnya begini :

adek : What do you like breakfast? *prasaan yang bener bukan begini ya*
mas : ohh pecel *bilang pecel ala aksen bule*
adek : Hah? ngomong apa mbak?
aku : pecelllll
adek : ohh pecel. what do you like drink?
mas : I like coffee
adek : ohh kopi. what do you like singer? *makin ngaco*
mas : what??
aku : kamu mau nanya apa? kamu suka nyanyi apa kamu adalah penyanyi?
adek : suka nyanyi mbakkk
aku : do you like singing dekk
adek : ok, do you like singing?
mas : *buffering, tiba-tiba manggil nama si adek* hey Simi!!!
adek : Cimi, not Simi
mas : *buffering* sorry cant hear you
aku : she is complaining, her name is Cimi not Simi
mas : Ahh I see... Simi... blablablabla
adek : *si adek bufferingnya udah level dewa*  mbakk, aku nggak paham. udah wes ya, bingung aku. bye
aku : hyahhhhh nyerahh dia

Kita berdua lanjut ngobrol, si adek kecil tiba-tiba berantem sama si adek yang satunya.

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...

Melewati Pusuk Pass, Lombok

Kembali ke Pulau Lombok setelah dari Gili Air, kita pun 'turun' gunung menuju daerah selatan. Kita pun melewati Pusuk Pass atau orang suka bilang monkey forest. Tadinya sih dikira kayak kita masuk hutan trus yang banyak monyetnya, tapi ternyata jalanan pinggir tebing yang ada banyak monyet main-main disana. Sama persis kayak jalanan kearah rumah nenek. sampahnya nggak seharusnya disitu ya? Berhentilah kita disana. Takutnya monyetnya kayak yang di Bali itu, yang suka nyuri, eh ternyata nggak sih. Monyetnya anteng diem, makan mulu. Salah satu kesalahan pengunjung adalah memberikan makanan ke si monyet-monyet. Nggak apa sih kasih makan tapi plastiknya ya jangan dibuang disana juga lah. Sebenernya bukan dibuang disana sih, tapi monyetnya aja yang narik ngambil plastik makanan disana. Jadilah disitu kotor semua gara-gara plastik sisa makanan tadi. Eh namanya monyet ya masa iya bisa dikasih tau, 'hey monyet jangan buang sampah sembarangan!', kan ya nggak mun...
