Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Wishing you all great days and we all can stay safe, happy and healthy! 

We have many rainy days  lately, after some super hot days. Well, I know the weather has been extreme in some parts of the world and we also have areas being affected by this, including flood and draught. Alhamdulillah we are okay here in Jakarta and hopefully we all will be safe and sound amidst the many challenging circumstances we face.

I have been drown in works but I try to keep my spirit up. Many times I have to break for a while as I need to pause, simply resting my mind. I know there are times when things happen at the same time and everything requires your full attention. Nevertheless, my health is paramount important too and after a long, painstaking lesson about it, I know when to stop when I need to stop. Now I try to work more efficiently with my team and sincerely hope we all can grow and learn together as we fulfill and accomplish many projects. It is important to note that not every one in the team share the same passion and lever of energy towards the work we have. Nevertheless, whenever I have time, I always try to share the knowledge I have and the joy of going through the process passionately so that my team will have the same spirit. Well, wish us luck!

In between.. I try to post some stories in my blog, IG accounts or YT channel. Well, it's a great intermezzo for me. If you have time, check out my lasts post in YT, including this one from Teba Cafe, Jimbaran, Bali!

I am scheduled to visit Makassar, the lovely capital city of South Sulawesi province for a business trip. We have crazy tight schedule so I don't know whether I have the time to actually enjoy and explore the city. I do have some blogger friends in this lovely city but I don't know whether I will have time to meet them briefly. I also heard and read so many incredible natural landscapes, including amazing islands and diving spots in this lovely place! Well, let's see what I can do and if I can't explore this time, let's hope I can come back here for my vacation with my loved ones!

Now, let's party and join Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends! Surely you will have fun checking all those links!

We hope you will enjoy your visit and find something of interest and don't forget, our hostesses have great posts they share as well.

WW: Bali from Above and Beyond

Bali from Above

I have recently stumbled upon old photos from my phone and just realized I have almost 5000 photos taken in and around Bali!

The view you enjoyed from your airplane as you leave this beautiful island

Well, coming back and forth to this breathtaking island of the Gods and Goddesses does not stop me from taking pictures here and there even though I might visit the same spot in Bali. No wonder I have so many pictures of them and that's only in one of my phones LOL. Not to mention other footages I took with my DSLR or GoPro and others. 

perfect blend of blue, green and teal

These one I took back in 2018, one of the business trips I had in Bali. I remembered staying in Kuta area for the meetings and strolling around in this never-sleep area (obviously before the pandemic) was joyous fun. 

Feels like plunging myself to the turquoise water

My recent trip to Bali also gave me the opportunity to capture more beauty Bali can endlessly offer. Lucky me, right! Here are some of the random photos I took while in Bali.

Tell me what you think! 

Which part of Bali you enjoy most? 

The beach, the sky, the rice field, the food, the culture, the people, or all of them?

Eid Mubarak 1442 H

EID MUBARAK!

🦋 🦋🦋🦋🦋

May we all have a blessed Eid, wherever we are! 

Insya Allah, Allah SWT’s continued blessings & forgiveness will be bestowed upon us 🙏🙏🙏

Maaf lahir batin atas segala khilaf, alpa, dan kesalahan sepanjang tahun. Semoga Allah SWT menerima segala amal ibadah kita dan menjadi pribadi yang kembali pada fitrah-Nya.

Stay safe, happy and healthy, wherever you are! Have a blessed Eid, filled with love, joy, and togetherness

WW: Eid AL-Fitr is Coming!

Eid AL-Fitr is Coming!

The end of Ramadhan is near and we are preparing for Eif Al-Fitr.

Just like last year, we are still observing Ramadhan and celebrating Eid AL-Fitr, the victory day, in COVID -19 environment. As many of us have been vaccinated and with strict health protocol being observed, this year we will be able to actually pray in the mosque with physical distancing and mask on. 

looking for some cute home accents in Alun - Alun Indonesia

This year, for the first time, insya Allah we will celebrate Eid Al-Fitr with my mom and my brothers in Jakarta. It was really a blessing as last year we celebrated it separately in Jakarta and Lampung, as we couldn't go home due to the extra restriction during the pandemic. This year is similar, but my brother manages to come to Jakarta and stays for a while.

Anyway, here's a little preparation we made before the Eid. We cleaned the house, rearranged things, cooked special food for Eid, and sent hampers to family and friends. It was always fun indeed!

Nook Restaurant, Bali - Wonderful Eateries in the Middle of the Paddy Fields

Do you look for wonderful ambience to enjoy around your meal?

Well, I do! 

Whenever I get a chance to come to one particular area, I would definitely try to find unique, wonderful restaurant to enjoy. 

On my last trip to Bali, I managed to eat in Nook, one cozy restaurant in Kerobokan, Bali. Although I was traveling during Ramadhan, we managed to stop by at lovely restaurants in the area, including this one. 

Nook is a great place to chill, relax, and taste the food while enjoying the soothing green Paddy fields in Bali! The ambience and the interior design are so homey and inviting as well.

Don't you just love it!

We went here during Ramadan and we came by to have Ifthar with friends. They do have this lovely ambience because the restaurant is located in the middle of the rice field. So as you enjoy the food and drinks, you will be serenaded by breeze, wind chymes, and singing birds. How do you like that? Super peaceful indeed.

The paddy fields around the resto

You can definitely order yummy, delicious food here. Find yourself a melange of Western food as well Indonesian and Balinese food to your liking. Here you can have burgers, steak, and pasta as well as sandwiches. They also serve Indonesian food. As for drinks, there are a lot of choice you us to explore. Again, including Indonesian beverages like teh sereh and jahe merah or red ginger.

I tried the Nasi Campur Special, the traditional Balinese plate with complete mini main course starting from rendang, chicken, urap or fresh veggies, sambal matah, tempe and tofu, corn fritters and sate lilit or minced fish satay a la Bali. Super good! I have my infused water and lime ginger hot tea. All is delicious. My friends tried Sirloin steak, spaghetti, and ayam geprek.

Cozy spot we have here...

The service is fast, waiters are friendly. They are very friendly indeed and for sure they can give you all the recommendations for the best food and beverages you like.

I really love the decorations, comfy seats and sofas as well as the ambience here. Let's take a look at photos I took around this cozy place.

The parking lot is not that big but there are staff who can help you finding the spot nearby as well. So parking is manageable. This place is disability friendly as well and again the staff will be more than happy to help. Happy to recommend this place for sure!

So, will you come here when you are around?

I sincerely hope so! And see you on the next adventure!
