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....

Life Recently #5

 
Tbilisi

Masih saja menebak-nebak jadwal libur sang suami yang tidak pasti. Masih saja deg deg dengan jumlah libur suami. Masih pula was was dengan kondisi suami bekerja disana. Uh yea.... all about husband. 

Masih pula menyibukkan diri belajar Bahasa Belanda, biar bisa ngobrol lancar bareng mertua. Target sih bisa lancar ngobrol Bahasa Belanda akhir tahun ini. Setidaknya untuk obrolan sehari-hari. Someday I wish that I could speak Dutch to him and he speak Bahasa in exchange. Would be super nice to have conversation in 2 different languages 😁

I also have a bonding time with my dad in law haha, in same time I learn Dutch from him. He helps a lot than my husband 😛 so great to have someone to teach me lol. He gave me an article about Agung mt in Dutch and it was like a challenge for me to understand what is written there, so I did translate to English and it was like 50% close to the original meaning haha at least I tried.

How do you feel the weather recently? Uhh Malang is extremely hot in the morning till day time and cloudy or even rain at 3 pm till night. It is okay... but it give me headache every time it gets hot and too bright. 'Oh it is 12 degree in Delden', said pa. And I said 'Oh it is 35 degree at daytime and 22 at night'. Then he said, 'Super' 😫

Saya juga belajar renang biar keren haha. Soalnya bulan depan mau diving course. Semoga pelatihnya sabar menghadapi saya yang nggak terlalu mahir renang. Sampe disuruh janji segala ke suami janji jangan takut nyemplung air. Hemm yaaa I promise. Cuman jangan bawa ke tempatnya hiu hiu buaya buaya yaaa

Saya juga masih disibukkan dengan curhatan para pelaku kawin campur, semacem saya ini agen psikolog tempat penyelesaian masalah aja ya. Dari yang curhat bingung memilih diantara dua orang sampai dokumen yang belum kelar di hari -6 sebelum menikah. Saya mah bisanya kasih saran aja yang jelas-jelas, selagi bisa bantu yaaa dibantu.

Saya juga kangen kerja huhuhu

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...
