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....

Kapan Nikah?



Sebentar lagi lebaran dan kumpul sama keluarga besar. Buat yang masih single, jangan lupa siapkan jawaban atas pertanyaan ‘KAPAN NIKAH?’. Saya udah siapin jawaban itu dari bertahun-tahun yang lalu hahahha...

karena ini adalah pertanyaan sadis dan membunuh bagi para jomblo/single/ yang statusnya belum taken by their partner.


That question always there since I was maybe 20 or 22. These people are really love to ask "When will you get married?", anytime anywhere. They start to ask this magical words. At first when they start to ask me this question, I thought like "Oh wow, is it the time for me to have this question? Ah maybe ". but yes, since that time, when I meet family or relatives even friends they will always ask "when you will get married?". dudududuuuu lalallalaaaaa... my answer always be like "NEXT YEAR". Actually I dont really understand why I told them next year, but that is better I guess than give them "I dont know" answer.

yea, Eid will come shortly. We will gather around with relatives and family. And I am ready for that question (again). after their question is answered with the same answer every time, they will ask again "You are not single right?". No no I am in relationship now, then they will say "get married then!". I will tell them like 'there are a lot to arrange and manage before married'. and they will easily say "that's not a difficult part". I have no idea why people love to ask other people to get married. Will you become our sponsor to have the wedding party??? hahahha

Sometimes I only tell them "Just be patient for the invitation next year", then I leave them. Hemmm they might not thinks that getting married isn't easy. The only thing the know is 'you have to be married soon and invite me, then if something goes wrong with your party we will talk about it behind you'. Diiihhh sebel dehhh, udah maksa, masih juga diomongin dibelakang.

Getting married isn't easy, especially for mixed couple. Oh yes, there are a lot to prepare for mixed couple. but they never know about that. never know. they only know that 'you must be outstanding on your wedding'. mboookkk tulung.

Yes, I almost 25. They will thinks that I have to be married soon. Hmmm hello... I am still happy like this, and I am still preparing for that. I only want to be married once. with someone only. That is why I don't want to rush. and yea the question about 'KAPAN NIKAH?' is kinda annoying lho saudara-saudara. untungnya pas ndak patah hati pas ditanya.

Anyway, I just wish that kind of question will be something like a wish that I will get married soon and maybe next year. But I wont invite too many people. I only invite those who are close to me or the precious ones.

Semoga berkah


for Frontsummer, I will invite you all but the invitation will be written in my blog, since I know that you all will come when you have time but I don't want to spend money to invite you using that kind of invitation letter :P

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...
