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....

Asian Civilisation Museum (ACM)

 

Penasaran sama isinya ACM ini apaan sih. Letaknya 20 menit dari tempat kita nginep, Grand Copthorne. Naeklah MRT ke sana. Sebenernya sih lokasinya di sekitaran Gardens by the Bay, Clarke Quay situ, sekitaran situ deh pokoknya. Ngesot juga bisa kok. Nah semalem sebelumnya kita iseng jalan dari hotel yang letaknya di sekitar Kim Seng Rd (lupa ya jalannya apa namanya) sampai Clarke Quay sana. Namanya jalanan enak ya, nggak macet, nggak padet, nggak begitu panas juga, sampailah kita malam-malam di Clarke Quay situ. Eh baru sadar pas besoknya kalo ternyata ACM nggak jauh-jauh dari situ.


Didepannya terpampang wajah bapak raja pertama Korsel, Sejong. Trus si HJ bilang, 'wow it's your lucky day, you will see about Korean there'. Ternyata itu masih besoknya pas kita pulang. Semacem eksibisi khusus gitu lah. Emang berkala sih, ganti-ganti juga tiap waktu.

Tapi karena lelah bener ya, siang itu mah panas banget disana. Mlipir dulu lah ke Prive, kafenya ACM. Minum aja biar seger. Masuklah kita kesana, daftar dulu ya, beli tiket begitu. Pas disana, aku dikirain orang Singapur sana. Karena museum ini gratis untuk orang Singapur, 10 SGD untuk orang asing, potongan 50% untuk yang memiliki kartu mahasiswa.

 

OMG! Lagi-lagi kartu saktinya HJ berfungsi dong. Dia punya kartu alumni kampusnya, yang pernah sekali waktu ngasih diskon pas masuk Prambanan, trus masuk ACM dia bayar cuman SGD5 aja. Aku !!! tetep SGD 10. uhuuu

Yaudah dapet stiker buat ditempel dibaju, dan juga brosur. Semacem panduan gitu deh, tapi kitanya bingung. Masuknya pun bingung dari mana hahaha. Tempatnya kurang terintegrasi sih, soalnya abis masuk ke stage pertama, trus harus keluar semacem mengulang rute lagi, baru masuk ke stage selanjutnya. Sampai pada akhirnya kita berdua bingung gimana cara keluarnya ya.

Pertama masuk soal sejarah tentang Islam. Selanjutnya lupa urutannya hahaha. Yang jelas ada banyak arca juga gitu, ship wreck, dll. bentar ya, diintip fotonya aja.

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...
