Friends that I've Always Thankful For

When I was younger, my mom always jealous whenever I went playing or prefer to hang out with my friends rather than staying home with the family. "Friends only around in happiness, family is the one who always around no matter what" She said. Without doubt I agree with her statement, family is everything and always be my number one priority. But what's wrong for being happy with friends? That are friends are for right? Making your life happier. I told my friends everything that I couldn't share to my parents, I laugh for something that my parents couldn't understand and I cry with them for something I couldn't bear alone but I don't want to make my parents worry. All my friends are precious to me, no more no less. As time goes, friends also come and go. I embrace this situation as part of my life and move on.  But... I would like to tell stories about some friends that I've always thankful for. Triadi, the smartest one. Outstandin

Overnight Trip to Solo

Another overnight trip with the faaam❤️ and it's time for SOLO. One of Central Java's 'it' city, 'Kampung' Pak Jokowi and famous with their Batik (well, there are many other city that famous with their Batik pattern, But my favorite is definitely Solo. Solo batik has calmer colors like blush pink, sky blue, other pastel color๐Ÿ’•).  We stayed at Alila Solo and this hotel is purrrrrfecct. Simple, modern, homey and quite! Yes quite is the most important things for my family, we are kinda have that sensitivity when it comes to crowd and loud people especially in public area like hotel or restaurant.  I've always been wanting to stay at this hotel since my colleagues told me while we have business trip here. If I can't go to Bali, why don't I try another Alila in Solo? ๐Ÿ˜Ž Now I know why foreign people especially Westerner love to spent all day laying down at beach or reading books near the pool. It's AMAZING! I spent almost all da

Baby Shopping

You might misunderstand the title, I am not buying a baby! ๐Ÿ˜† Instead am looking for baby stuff for my colleagues's new born. As the fund controller (and most of my department event), I am in charge for all shopping and arranging things. Ordering cake, shopping lebaran gift, travel bookings, buying presents are all under my responsibility. Baby shopping is definitely my fav since I couldn't do it for myself (yet!)๐Ÿ˜œ. Parents (or more likely stranger haha) were busy choosing   I bought this turtle for my other colleague before๐Ÿ˜„   I this time I bought this one!! HOW CUTE Before they didn't sell Joie brand, so I went with Baby Safe. In comparison, Joie looks more pretty and up to date but it cost double and only function as baby high chair while Baby Safe allows mom to modifies the chair into mini desk. My personal preference is Joie just because it looks better hahahahaha. In terms of mom's choice, I spoke to several moms most of them told me that Joie is a

My First Step to Work in London

This morning I've got an email from HRD titled "Global Rotation Program 2018". My heart stopped. I was very nervous and my hands were started to shake. I calmed myself down and whispered "Bismillah..". I clicked the link to the host country nervously, keep scrolling... Japan... Asia Oceania... Singapore... Hongkong.... Shanghai.... Seoul.... Auckland..... Melbourne..... Sydney... and other countries that I couldn't recall. Wait! Where is Europe? USA? Where is my Londoooon?!! My world seems darken when I read those. This is my dream, despite my unconditional love towards my job and what I am doing now, the reason why I want to stay at this office because I believe I will be able to accomplish my dream to work abroad through this institution and its credibility as one of best Foreign Bank at the moment. What am gonna do... I even rehearsed my interview speech at the bathroom 2 weeks ago.... With a heavy heart I texted my best friend through o

Trending Now: 2x Spicy Samyang Noodle

I was a spicy addict until acute gastritic hits me. I almost never touch nor try spicy food unless it is bended with the actual food. For instance, Ayam Geprek, Sate Taichan, Pecel Lele or other food that incomplete without the spiciness. After breakfasting with pastel and some bites of cookies, I was full already. But if I didn't eating enough, tomorrow I'll be starving like crazy! First world problem rite?  Then I decided to cook 2x Spicy Samyang Noodle that I bought due to curiosity last month. Didn't looked that convincing with that scary chicken spewing fire To look like the vloggers on youtube, I put a lot of cheddar and mozarella cheese inside Not that red? Blame the cheese My review: I hate it. Yes it was crazy hot, but nothing special in this noodle. Overall I could barely taste the seasoning and the spice is also plain. I not a fan of the regular Samyang, but at least that one I could finished it and crave for another one sometimes. For
