Santorini Dream

Tuhan pasti tau seberapa besar impian saya tentang Santorini. Saya jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama sejak melihat foto tempat ikonik itu di belantara dunia maya beberapa tahun lalu; mungkin sekitar satu dekade lalu.

God knows how much I dream about Santorini. I fell in love with this iconic place on the first sight eversince I saw a picture of it somewhere in the world wide web several years ago; could be a decade.

Sejak punya akun tumblr 3 tahun lalu pun, saya rajin banget follow akun dan reshare postingan tentang Santorini. Nggak cuma di tumblr, tapi juga merambah ke semua sosial media saya: instagram, facebook, path, twitter...

Eversince I created tumblr account 3 years ago, I like to follow accounts and re-share posts all about Santorini. Not only in tumblr, but also in every social media account that I have: instagram, facebook, path, twitter...

Saya pernah nulis mimpi menikah lagi di Santorini dan eksplore Yunani sama suami... Kalau sudah meninggal pun, saya pingin abu saya ditebar di sana... Teman2 dan follower mungkin sudah tau deh, saking seringnya saya share impian saya tentang Santorini. Teman saya Kenny pun mengirimkan kartu pos dari Santorini sewaktu dia berkunjung ke sana.

I once wrote my dream to re-marry in Santorini and explore Greece with hubby... When I die one day, I wish my ash to be spread there... My friends and followers might already know, since I often share my dream about Santorini. My friend Kenny even sent postcard from Santorini when he was there.

Saya bermimpi suatu hari nanti bisa membangun rumah bergaya Santorini... Saya suka mengkoleksi barang bernuansa biru-putih ala Santorini... dan senang sekali kalau melihat interior maupun eksterior design dengan nuansa Santorini...

I have a dream to build a house with Santorini style one day... I love to collect things in blue-white a la Santorini... and very happy everytime I see interior and exterior design with Santorini nuance...

Nggak cukup bermimpi, saya memberikan batas waktu untuk mewujudkan mimpi saya tersebut agar bisa menjadi goal. Dan itu tercatat dalam dreamboard yang ditempel di depan pintu kamar saya: 2 weeks in Greece, before / on May 20, 2017.

Dreaming is not enough; I put deadline to make my dream to become a goal. And it was written in my dreamboard in front of my bedroom: 2 weeks in Greece, before / on May 20, 2017.

#whatson #mydreamboard Gonna make it happen on time... semoga dapet visanya 🙏🏼 Urus visa Schengen dari kedubes Yunani njelimet banget OMG 😲 Lesson learned: kalo mau ke Yunani mending lewat Italy atau negara Eropa lain yang lebih gampang aja deh syarat2 visanya. Seriusan 😓 Btw, itu yg tengah kartu pos dari @kartuposinsta waktu Kenny di Santorini 😍 #determined #nutswish #nutslyfe

Suami sempat beritikad memberikan kejutan dengan membeli tiket Jakarta-Yunani untuk ulang tahun saya tahun lalu, sayangnya pembelian gagal. Ya untung saja gagal, karena harga tiketnya saja mencapat 70juta buat berdua! >.<

My husband was once tried to buy flight ticket from Jakarta to Santorini for my birthday surprise, too bad it was failed. But thank God, because the ticket is 70million for 2 of us! >.<

Makanya waktu Agustus 2016 lalu saya berhasil mendapatkan tiket Qatar ke Yunani dengan harga promo, rasanya senang bukan main. Sudah kebayang bakal eksplor Yunani dan tentunya Santorini selama 2 minggu bersama suami untuk merayakan ulang tahun pernikahan kami, 11-25 Mei 2017 nanti.

That's why I was sooo happy when I finally got Qatar ticket to Greece with promo price last August. I can imagine myself and hubby exploring Greece for 2 weeks to celebrate our wedding anniversary, this May 11-25th, 2017.

Selama 9 bulan terakhir saya asyik merencanakan segala detail liburan kami di Santorini nanti. Tiket sudah di tangan, hotel sudah dibooking, visa sudah didapat, asuransi sudah dibeli, semua sudah beres. Tinggal berangkat!

These last 9 months I've been planning all the details for our holiday in Santorini. We've got the tickets, hotels are booked, visa is issued, bought the insurance, everything is on hand as we planned. Time to go!

Waktu liburan ke Maldives via Singapore kemarin sengaja bawa beberapa barang pemberian dari endorsers kesayangan buat bonus foto2 😘 Next trip ke Malang, Yunani & Santorini, sudah mulai packing dan pilih2 barang mana yang kira2 mau dipakai dan dibonusin foto2 cantiknya 😊 Mumpung masih awal bulan, masih dibuka endorse gratis khusus buat UMKM sampai tanggal 5 Mei ini (barang harus sudah diterima paling lambat 9 Mei). Syarat dan ketentuan endorse silakan cek post sebelumnya atau cek hashtag #nutsales yaa. Boleh juga DM kalo takut mentionnya nggak kebaca. Saat ini yang diutamakan fashion items terutama baju2 dan aksesoris lucu untuk dipakai ke pantai, bukit dan gunung 👙👒 *Black & white make up bag used as clutch/purse from @lexika_style 😍 #nutstyle #nutslyfe #nuniektirta #fashion #style #lifestyleblogger #openendorse #endorsegratis #freeendorse #endorsefree

Tapi...

But...

Dikarenakan berbagai pertimbangan yang dapat mempengaruhi nasib dan hajat hidup orang banyak, maka dengan sangat terpaksa kami memutuskan untuk membatalkan atau setidaknya menunda keberangkatan sampai waktu yang belum bisa ditentukan... *CRY*

Due to several considerations that can affect many people's life, we regretfully decided to cancel or at least delay until undetermined time... *CRY*

My wish on tumblr post EXACTLY 3 years ago. Click here for the original post.

Jadi hari ini saya bolak balik ke kedutaan Yunani mengambil visa Schengen yang sudah disetujui (setelah melewati proses panjang yang cukup melelahkan -dan cuma berlaku sampai akhir Mei ini, hiks); ke service center Garuda Indonesia untuk refund (ini juga sama ribetnya, tetap harus email dan kena potongan biaya pastinya); mengurus refund Qatar (ini prosesnya lebih mudah, tapi tetap saja potongan juga besar); mengurus refund asuransi perjalanan (dan ditolak karena refund hanya berlaku kalau visa tidak disetujui); dan membatalkan semua booking hotel. Total kerugian akibat pembatalan keberangkatan ini lumayan besar, cukuplah buat ke Maldives lagi...

So today I went back and forth to Greece Embassy to collect Schengen visa that has been approved (after long exhausting process -and valid only until end of this May, hiks); went to Garuda Indonesia service center to refund (this also been hassle, I still have to email and of course got quite big amount of penalty); proceed Qatar refund (this was easier, but still, the penalty is also big); proceed travel insurance refund (and it was declined because refund only applies if the visa has been disapproved), and canceled all hotel bookings. Total loss due to this cancellation is big enough for another trip to Maldives...

Iya sedih sih, sudah pasti. Tapi saya nggak mau terlihat terlalu sedih karena suami bisa lebih sedih kalau lihat saya sedih. Apalagi, suami masih punya tugas besar yang harus diembannya. Tugas saya kali ini justru menguatkan dia dan meyakini ini keputusan terbaik buat semua. Rencana Tuhan tak pernah salah, dan ketika sudah tiba saatnya, semua akan menjadi indah. Amin!

Yes I'm sad, that's for sure. But I dont want to look so sad because hubby would be more sad if he sees me sad. Moreover, hubby still have big mission to bear. My duty at this point is to fully support him and believe that this is the best decision for all. God's plan never goes wrong, and everything will be beautiful at its own time. Amen!

Yes, we'll be there someday!

Family Holiday at Club Med Bintan - Premium All Inclusive Resort

I just had family holiday at Club Med Bintan, on 14-17 December 2017. To be frankly honest, it was way more fun than I expected as a short weekday getaway. Definitely one of the best vacation that we ever had! Photo of us in Club Med Bintan by Sweet Escape Transportation from Jakarta to Bintan Island We flew on Thursday morning, 14 December by Garuda Indonesia from Terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Tanjung Pinang Raja Haji Fisabillah International Airport. It was scheduled to be boarding at 10:30 but unfortunately got delayed for about an hour, so we arrived at around 1pm. Transportation from Bintan airport to Bintan resort At Bintan airport, a driver was already waiting with a sign board "Club Med". We then continued the journey by car, an hour long road without traffic jam at all. Not much to see along the way, most of it was some kind of deserted areas. But when we entered Lagoi area, it is green everywhere I see. Arrival at ...

Broadway & Lo-Deh

We spent the afternoon around Alam Sutera today because my eldest had a hangout date with a friend. While dropping her off, I sneaked in a quick errand to Vintage Vibes Broadway to drop some preloved items. I’ve been consigning there for years now. It’s almost a ritual. End of year equals decluttering season. Sorting through things forces me to ask honest questions. Do I still need this or is it ready to have a new life with someone else. Some items get sold, some get donated, and somehow my head always feels lighter along with the shelves. While waiting, the youngest sat with daddy, wrestling numbers and fractions like a true year end plot twist. Math lessons in public spaces have their own soundtrack. Scribbling, deep sighs, and occasional I think I get it now followed by wait no I don’t. All that while sitting in front of coffee shop, ordered their signature coffee and tea, and our daughter bought iced chocolate from the shop next door. When the hangout was done, we decided t...

Year End Reflection Ritual : 2025 - 2026

I came across Mel Robbins’ year end reflection ritual, six questions she has been answering for the past twenty two years. Six questions sound harmless, almost cute. Like a magazine quiz that ends with “you are a sunflower.” But once I started answering them honestly, I realized this was not a personality test. This was an emotional audit. Let’s start with the hardest one. The low points of the year. There were some. Actually, quite plenty. I can say this without drama now, but 2025 has been my lowest year since 2013. That year taught me survival. This year tested endurance. One of the heaviest moments came quietly, from a place I never expected to reach our home. It felt like standing in the middle of a storm that wasn’t ours to begin with, yet somehow found us anyway. My husband chose to stay when it would have been easier to leave, to keep holding the bridge together so others could cross safely. Opportunities passed by, shiny and tempting, but he remained where he believed responsi...

Perawatan wajah dan cerita masa muda

Andaikata blog dan social media saya punya semacam FAQ (Frequently Asked Question, alias pertanyaan yang paling sering ditanyakan), sudah pasti di urutan pertama akan bertengger pertanyaan: "Pakai produk perawatan wajah apa?" Banyaaaakkk banget follower instagram / facebook / twitter saya yang nanya gitu, dan minta saya mengulasnya. Saya bilang sabar, tunggu tanggal mainnya. Tapi sebelum saya jawab pertanyaan itu, saya mau mengenang masa muda dulu ah.. Jadi begini cucuku... Waktu pertama kali ngeblog 15 tahun lalu , usia saya masih 21 (yak silakan dihitung usia saya sekarang berapa, pinterrrr). Jadi jangan heran kalo gaya bahasanya masih 4I_aY 4b3zzz.. (eh ga separah itu juga sih, hehe). Tapi ekspresi nulisku di masa-masa itu masih pure banget, nyaris tanpa filter. Jadi kalo dibaca lagi sampai sekarang pun masih berasa seru sendiri. Kayak lagi nonton film dokumenter pribadi. Kadang bikin ketawa ketiwi sendiri, kadang bikin mikir, kadang bi...

Christmas, Cake, and a 45 Year Old Legend

Merry Christmas and happy 45th birthday to my amazing husband! The yin to my yang. The calm app to my permanently open tabs. Year 2025 really said, “Let’s test you,” didn’t it? Testing limits, patience, and faith all at once. So here’s my prayer for the new year. More luck. More ease. More people loving you. And above all, God’s blessing wrapped around you like bubble wrap. Amen. The day started exactly how every memorable family day should. With chaos. From BSD , we had to swing by Jagakarsa first. The main mission was innocent enough. Pick up pre ordered bread from my former neighbor. Secondary mission, collect a giant burger from Ken’s Burger for birthday candle blowing purposes. Because nothing says “happy 45th” like a burger pretending to be a cake. But of course, upon arrival, another neighbor was about to leave for mudik . So we talked. And talked. And kept talking while repeatedly saying, “We really have to go,” yet not moving at all. Our Dutch tenant had alrea...

Roadtrip With No Deadline and Plenty of Snacks

Road trip day! We hit the road at 8 a.m., thirty minutes later than planned. But honestly, who cares? There was no deadline, no race to win. As long as everyone was accounted for and nothing important was left behind, we were good. Bonus point: I actually slept well the night before, which meant as the navigator of this journey, wasn’t half-asleep behind the wheel feels like small but crucial victory. Our first stop was at 9:30 a.m. at KM 57 rest area . The reason was simple and non-negotiable: coffee. My husband also needed to stop to do some office transfers, because work apparently travels with you now. While he was busy, I took Coffee Kenangan promo : buy two Toffee Nut Lattes , get one Americano free. Perfect timing, because my mom had specifically requested an Americano. Total damage: 50k. Cheap joy is still joy. While my husband was still glued to his phone, I dragged my mom to participate at Jasa Marga survey . The prize? An umbrella. She was ridiculously happy because, surpri...

Full Plates, Full Agendas

Ladies’ day out with Mba Fit usually begins with me doing nothing but being picked up. At around 09:20, she arrived in the lobby carrying not gossip, but food. The best kind of opening. She handed me a Wegogrill package filled with frozen chicken sausages and their signature smoked chicken—no flour, no sugar, no MSG, no eggs, no milk. Healthy and genuinely tasty. Thank you, Mba Fit and Wegogrill! Next stop: Itjeher Salon . The plan was straightforward. I did creambath and blow, Mba Fit did creambath and manicure. Unfortunately, this time my experience was not as good as the usual. The massage lacked soul, the blowout lacked commitment, and the final result lacked longevity. By the time I stepped outside, my hair had already given up on life. Better remember the good therapist's name next time! After that, hunger took over, as it always does. We headed confidently to Ramu Saji by Ashoka , our usual safe space. Only to be greeted by a sign that said Tutup. Closed. So we pivoted, li...

A Day Off from Motherhood

Happy Mother’s Day ! This year, I asked for nothing. No flowers, no cake with dramatic candles, no surprise gifts. I simply announced to my husband and children, very calmly and very firmly: today, I am on leave from being a mother. Full holiday. Zero duties. Which meant no cooking, no dishwashing, no laundry sorting, no reminding anyone of anything. And to my surprise, they took it seriously. Like… seriously seriously. The kitchen was fully taken over. Meals were planned, cooked, and served. The laundry from the service? Sorted and packed for our upcoming road trip. They even tidied up before the Ranger Clean Sheet team arrived, so the ranger could handle the things they couldn’t or simply didn’t want to do. Teamwork, delegation, project management . I was impressed. My husband, who once treated dishwashing like a personal enemy, suddenly became the most diligent man in the room. Yes, we have a dishwasher. Yes, he still washed all the big pots and pans by ha...
