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....

A Heart from Thailand



I got something cute on my desk right after I had lunch yesterday. Kaget gitu tiba-tiba ada satu tas kecil, semacem lunch bag, dan ada tulisan From Nui (Chanida), HR Thailand. Yap! She is one of my Thailand users. Her complete name is Chanida Sukhondabush and called Nui. Pertamanya kaget, kok dia bisa kasih beginian ya. Keduanya, aku ga seberapa deket banget sama yang ini dibandingkan user lainnya. ketiga, ini surprising banget kok tiba-tiba. Ahh ternyata ini dititipin orang Indonesia yang lagi ada project di Thailand sana. 

 
Tiba-tiba ngerasa userku sweet banget sih. Kita satu tim Asia – Pasifik ada sekitar 12 orang. Cewek semuanya gara-gara cowoknya udah resign. Dan cuman aku yang dikasih, bahkan supervisor yang ngurus (dan setengah nggak ngurus sih sebenernya, tapi terpaksa ngurusin lagi nanti) market ini aja nggak dikasih. Khusus spesial buat aku aja wes pokoke ini.

Trus yang lainnya nanya, ‘Pris kok sweet banget sih user kamu. Kamu apaan sih dia kok bisa ngirim barang gitu ke kamu?’. Aku bilang aja ‘I just become nice and sweet to them. Because I want them treat me nicely and sweet as well’. Nggak percaya mereka haha

Karena emang kalo aku perlakukan user dari market yang aku tangani, selalu as sweet as I can. Aku nggak pernah lembek, nggak juga kasar, tapi tegas. Kalo mereka salah ya aku bilang kalo itu salah dan aku tunjukin salahnya gimana, benernya gimana. Manager aja, kalo salah ya aku marahin, trus aku benerin. Bukan berarti jabatan tinggi jadi seenaknya aja nyuruh-nyuruh dan langgar aturan. Tapi kebanyakan manager yang berurusan sama aku orangnya unyu lucu dan sopan sih. Ada satu yang nggak sopan, ya nggak aku gubris. Ada satu yang seenak sendiri, perfeksionis semaunya sendiri, nggak mau tau pokoknya dia enak. Sekalinya marahin aku tanpa aku ngelakuin kesalahan, langsung aku bantah pake data. Rasain!

Mungkin aku Cuma terlalu sweet aja ke mereka ya, sampe pas Hongkong di handover ke anak baru, user HK masih aja lari ke aku. Nanya anak baru nggak bisa malah kontak aku langsung. Nggak bisa move on kayaknya hahaha

Anyway, I love my users especially Thailand users although their names are soooo difficult to say and I have to remember their nicknames that is so different. They are soooo sweet and the girls are so sweet to me. Meskipun itu agak bikin ngeri sih. If you know what I mean haha

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...
