Pandemic Era to Me

Probably I’m crazy, but I’m enjoying each and every moment of this pandemic. It is good for my soul, it is the hideout I have been praying for.  I’m grateful each day I don’t have to say hi to the people whom faces I recognise but names I forget. They all now wear face mask, and I do too.  I am thrilled, no cancelling appointments or refusing to attend meetings or gathering I am invited to, because social life drains me like nothing else. I like my own space, I like staying at home, get cozy in my own room. I am peaceful, whenever I am out in the street, it is empty, no traffic jam, no excessive honking I hear from crazy drivers, no drama. Always serene, quiet, and safe. I have always been in love with clear blue sky, and now I notice them more. I am relieved, for having a chance to take a break from early morning trip to school to take my children, and long way back to reach my work place. This every morning trip will cost me almost 2 hours of my precious morning time. I am h...

New Life, Bali!

I did not realize, it has been quite a while since my last post.  But life has been wonderful so far, and I am enjoying my new life here in Bali.  Daniel took up the job with a fine dining restaurant managed and owned by local. At the right time I got an offer from a luxurious five-star hotel in Nusa Dua. So yup, all is perfect! Lets catch up more often now, I know my biggest challenge is managing my time, to spare it a little bit to write, it was my best stress therapy alright, it should be now too.  So, I am running out of battery, but will write again soon!  Love, Manusia Nia

Pregnancy: Catching Up

A lot to catch up, especially about baby. With all my excitement for this pregnancy, I am also busy and tired most of the time so managing my time to spend for this blog became one of those "mission-impossible" things. Okay, lets make this short and sweet shall we? 20 Nov 2012 I had a scan with Dr. Widad and found that the baby grows active and happy, she is 12w5d. I had a bit of bleeding, I was thinking because Dr. Widad did the internal scan. I was quite worried but she said nothing to be worried about. 8 Dec 2012 Routine check up (2nd check up) with Dr. Wafaa and review the scan result, she confirmed that every thing is perfect. no weight gain. That is most important for me. No Weight Gain!! Weight: 89,2Kg 15w Mission: Maintain the weight, and taking the supplement diligently.

How To Get Mortgage Loan Approved for Indonesian Working Abroad

Talking about dream home, we thought it was impossible if we were still working abroad. But it turned out to  be a dream come true. With the limited financial we knew we will not be able to buy our dream house, although it would be sufficient for the down-payment but not for paying the whole thing. Buying a house is no cheap, when we see the price of the house, we would forget there are some hidden price we need to pay, such as -the most consuming one- taxes, yup!! And at the beginning we have no clue it  would cost us so much more than we have budgeted. Let me share you little bit the process of getting a house in Indonesia - if you are planning to get a housing mortgage. 1. Get in touch with the sales person, let him tell you more about the house you are going to buy, since you are abroad, you may need to ask as many questions as possible in order to understand more about the property and the vicinity you are going to live in. 2. Be friend with the sales person, he may...

RIP Tiny Little Brain Cell

I sometimes feel really desperate that I don't have time for myself anymore, I am losing that one cell in my brain that gives me the words to be written. It upsets me in fact that I have nothing to say, as if my mind freezes in such a way that I don't even know what to think, what to write, and I know for a fact that if I continue this that tiny little cell I am talking about would eventually vanish and I could not get it back. To write has become a therapy for me, my own way to meditate, to stay calm and controlled. By not doing this, I feel like zombie, like seriously dead man walking. I created a twitter accounts, incognito, even 140 characters I was not able to create a sentence.  Just a little update about my pregnancy:  Nausea, none. Weight gain, going there, but controllable, although new maternity skirt for work is needed. Weight: 87kg Sunday appointment with dr. Wafaa, Medcare
