Living in Essen North Rhine-Westphalia

It has been some times since i wrote to my blog, i am sowiii my lovelies, live does catch up with me in a big wave. Starting with my preparation in moving from Indonesia to Germany, taking care my beloved aunty in the hospital for her last stage of cancer -rest her soul- mapping up my heart and soul for all the changings that would be happened in my life and facing the goodbye, gosh i hate goodbyes. So with all those thingies happened in my small live, i was so preoccuppied with myself that writing here is a moot idea that was never there in my schedule. But now alhamdulillah i am baaaack. Here i am.

I have been living in this new country since 2nd of August 2014, somehow it feels long already since i said my teary eyes goodbyes toward my family, but it is also very short time for what i have achieved so far in my personal live. I am still Nee that cant speak fluent Deutch Sprache, still not brave enough to go out there alone since my language is still below zero. And somehow the universe is opposing me in achieving this goal due to the fullness of every integration course at this moment except for January 2015, pheeew...thats still 2 months again right? Yups it is. So i am back to my ole hobby, cooking. I immerse myself with all the cooking activities. And soing that remind me a lot that i need to know the cure for any women's ailments..shopping places. Thats right, shopping places where i can get all my needs.

In here i put some of my journey in shopping in Essen, believe me, You need this info when You are in this area. First store is a coffee store.

Here is the best coffee store in this area, according to us, the seller is also the owner. He and his wife are dealing the business in very friendly way. Rubens - Kaffeerösterei is at Emmastr. 7 and opens from Tuesday through Saturday at 10.00 - 18.00 pm. And they always close at 14.00-15.00 pm for a lunch break. For Thursday and Saturday, they are open from 10.00 am up to 14.00 pm. 

It is amazing how they how they know so much about coffee from Indonesia more than i do lol...offcourse since i only drink a 3in1 kind of coffee that my husband often jokes as a degradation toward coffee. But yes i do know the quality of a good coffee or not eventhough i dont drink them black. In this store they offer so many varients of coffee, Jamaica, Africa, Indonesia, and others.

Even the interior of the store is so cozy and makes You feel at ease in buying Your thingies. Ask him anything about coffee and he will explain to You in details, just be sure Your Deutch is good enough in understanding it. But English is known also by him, at least for a simple buying and selling process, since i was using it with him.

Shrine For Cemplon

This is my cutie cat Cemplon Sucemplon Bar Plon Plon......a Persian cat that has captured my heart hook, sink and pull by his charms....not hihihi.

The Rings.....Though It Wont Ring.....

A year of our wedding and all the klutz that we have shared Raminku decided to suprise me with these pair of rings as a gift. Well actually its not a surprise since i knew before he gave it to me on January hihihi. Thats me Lil Missy of Impatient i begged him to tell me the surprise eventhough i wont be able to have it till he comes here in Surabaya.

.....masyaAllah thank You Ya Rabb for these happiness.

Who? Me? Naaaah......

Due to my hectic life lately *pose as the busiest lil lady on the Earth* i dont have a time to update with a lot of rants that i would like to share with You my lovelies. Especially actually i do have so much rants to be shared hihihihi *rolling the eyes with rolling drum's sound pwease*

For starter, i just realise, again that Surabaya my beloved city is still thick with racism, a filthy word that i hate with all my might. Come on my Lovelies, this is 2013, a new era has came upon us. Many histories have shown us how are the effects of this stupid act. But somehow the doers *insert jaw dropping emo* are young people who are so snooty bout any kind of hot stuff but somehow their acts are still following those people who did have this racism\s mind in previous era. Okay i know the concept in psychology that is stating that somehow the brain of human can create a defensive shield when they feel cornered, offended or even not knowing something. But why dont we learn something from others rather than starting to be suspicious all the time that influence Your way of seeing others.

It started when i joined this German's course as one of the requirements to apply a wifey visa to go to German. In here i met many young people who are half of my age. At the beginning i thought they didnt want to sit or even talk with me because of my age *i am twice their ages hihihi* but then some of the students are okay in talking and sitting with me. Then in my curiosity way, i approached those no-speaking kids. I tried to open a conversation with them. As You predict, yups they ignored me *jlebmoment* eventhough i called their names before i started the conversation. But somehow they just simply ignored me like i wasnt even there hihihi. In which it is quite impossible seeing how huge my person is.

After those expi i realised that even the seating positions in my class are divided by them based on skin colors then religion. Wow.....kiddooooos You are still young but You have adapted the most horrible character on this Earth, racism. Too bad they do not realise that i am actually also the same ethnic with them, but it does not show. This is a sad story that always makes me cry when people start to think of themselves better or even above the others. Do not they realise that their good fortune; health, wealth and others are blessed not only because of their own efforts? It is also coming from the prayers of other people *in Moslem we do pray for all the mankind on every prayer*  and their own ancestors. And if Allah wants us to be the same to avoid problems or differences, He will definitely create us thus way.....


A good poem that i got from Bie, my brother in law, a nice poem by Derek Walcott:

I'm just a red nigger who love the sea,
I had a sound colonial education,
I have Dutch, nigger, and English in me,
and either I'm nobody, or I'm a nation.

Lyke Li - I Follow River

Me and my hubby put ouself in these honorable tasks to spread out these beautiful songs, so help us pwease by spreading them hihi.

And this jumpy and happy tone

I Think I Am Lost

Have You ever felt lost in the translation when You are in out of hand situation? 
Definitely it is a creepy event
Though it does not need an action
But somehow it breaks my defense

Being lost and false in the short is not the expie You need to have
Believe me, as often as i am wrong, in this case i am right

I think i am lost
And i am false
To thought its right
Since it is only a bunch of light, that cant even be tied

Talking With Sasi

It has been ages since i met Sasi in real life but somehow we always connected in all the time in our lives. I met her in 99. The border year from my study age into a worker in a big company, since before that year i was only a private teacher. She shows me a lot of things in life that i never realize ever happened. Her stories and experience always amaze me. But pwease do not think that we are so buddy buddy in real life. If You read my writing in the beginning, we are more to be a bosom buddies when we are afar. When she is in Spain and i am in my tinny room in Surabaya, Indonesia. Funny huh? But that is us. If You ask me who do i trust my life with outside of my hubby and family, her name will pop up 1st from my mouth. That is to show You my lovelies that sometime love and friendship do not see distance and differences. 

Believe me we are so different in almost every lil thing in life but we only have 1 thing in common, it is love. Love toward our self in which will show how we love and treat each other and other people. Remember bout karma, what You do will definitely comes to Yourself. Just keep on hoping the one which will come is the good one hihihi. Love toward His creatures and creations. It is showing on how we respect everything on this earth. Love in helping without being too butt in on others.Now that is quite difficult right? I remember not too long ago we did have our 1st serious butting the heads. It was because she asked me to do something that i did not want to. And in the end all her worries that made her to be so persistent in asking me to do it, are right. But alhamdulillah subhanAllah my Sasi did not even smirk or gloat to say, "What did i tell You nee? I am right!" She was even crying and praying with me on that sad moment when i realized that a swollen in my tummy that i thought was a baby, actually are cysts and polip. MasyaAllah.....

We have been through all, right Si? InsyaAllah it will continue for the next life also, amien.
