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

Yellow is saying hi!

How is May treating you?

I hope all is well and amidst the constant worrying and confusing time due to the on-going COVID -19 pandemic and all its new variants, I found myself struggling with time and workload management. Well, I just don't know what to do first some times and how to ensure I am not out stretched with whatever I have to work on. Work load can be extremely demanding and it doesn't care whether it is Ramadhan, Eid Al Fitr or the weekends. They keep coming and bombarding me unfortunately. We have series of high level meetings on urgent issues that become the world's attention. Statements, press releases, pointers and endless communication with many stakeholders including those outside of our time zones take all the energy, time. and concentration. But I have to keep the spirit up and finish things up so I can continue working on something else, possibly something more fun!


Stay strong and happy...


Meanwhile at home, the kids are still enjoying their Eid l Fitr break. It was 2 full weeks and since we cannot freely go out or visit some tourism objects, we mostly stay at home and enjoy what we can enjoy at home. We watched movies together, read books and played the games. We had fun with the kittens at home and Ink, PJ as well as Yellow are surely growing cute! They really help me keep my sanity at home.

Ink looks scary!


We went to the mall once and it was packed with people so we only had a quick dinner after lining up for sometimes. Well, that's what happen during Lebaran Day break. People are going out to get food other than the rich, coconut-milk-loaded, once-in-a-year feast food we have at home. Well, at some point, I feel like I need to go out and feel the breeze. Being confined too long at home does not make me feel good, although I know I have to be extremely careful and fully observe the health protocol. 
Well, wherever we are, do stay safe, happy and healthy!

We were eating ramen out there...

Now, sit back and relax, stay at home and join us on Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends. Have fun!

Amazing Sunday at Hello Sunday Metropole, Jakarta

Amazing Sunday at Hello Sunday Metropole, Jakarta

Hi, everyone!

Fancy enjoying favorite dessert in cozy restaurant? Oh yes, I love it!

Recently I have been scouting lovely eateries around my office and my home to enjoy some of the best Indonesian culinary, fusion food, desserts, beverages and more. It is part of my mission of supporting local businesses, reviving our passion towards Indonesian traditional food and beverages, as well as the joy of spending some quality time with my hubby and my family.

One of the places we recently visit is Hello Sunday, a lovely cafe and dessert located in Metropole, Cikini, Jakarta, Indonesia. I have seen their IG account but haven't got a chance to actually come and visit until last weekend. I came to the office because I needed to get the antigen test and together with my hubby, we decided to stop by at this lovely place.



Hello Sunday has been famous for its cakery and desserts. It has a few outlets across Jakarta. When we arrived, we had to go through the health protocol including temperature check and washing hands. It also follows the procedures of only accommodating  50 percent of the capacity so we don't have to worry about the physical distancing. The tables are sanitized as well.

When I came, they had just released Ube soft serve a couple day before. It was purple, yummy and uber cool. This soft serve ice cream comes with roasted almonds, marshmallows and caramel popcorns. When you look at it you will definitely fall in love with it. And that is just the ice cream, my friend! 


We have so many more incredible food and beverages worth trying in the menus. Let's have a look. 

One of them is the mood booster, fresh cold press with perfect combination of orange, carrot, pineapples, lime, and apple. Not to mention Putu Waffles, famous Belgian waffles but using kue putu dough with pandan leaves. This waffle is indeed lovely. Love the textures of the waffle and the taste is also exquisite. It is cool to see a lovely blend between Indonesian traditional recipe and famous Western food like waffles.

don't you just love it!

They certainly have more but we only tried all these sweet plates. And we love them all! Here you can also enjoy mac and cheese, chicken waffles, steak, fish and beef burgers, pizza and more. They also have rice plates like fried rice, basmati green fried rice and the one with lamb. They even have gyudon and salmon don here, as well as salmon and quinoa.





Price wise, the food and beverages are priced in typical rate as Jakarta's cafes. So I say it's worth a try. With the quality food and beverages they serve, I guess it's worth it.

Well, obviously, this place is super lovely. we were helped by Irlang, one of the waiters, and he has been super helpful and fun indeed. Don't miss this place when you are around and I bet you can have an amazing day at Hello Sunday Metropole, Jakarta. See you on our next culinary adventure!.

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


Welcome back!

April is kicking in and boy, I have 'spring' blooming in my office in terms of works LOL. Many of my friends, particularly whose who live abroad, are enjoying spring now. All those bursts of colors! I love it. And I have to say is that I do miss enjoying spring abroad. 

Meanwhile, I almost flew to Kupang, the capital city of East Nusa Tenggara, as well as Rote Island in the surrounding area, on last Sunday. We have got everything ready,- the antigen test, the issued ticket, all the programs and nitty gritty of conducting our program there. Then disasters struck! Cyclone storm, flood and landslides hit Kupang, Rote and the surrounding city. All our prayers for the victims and hope everything will soon be back to normal. We cancelled our flight on early morning Monday and thank god we still have His protection from all these natural disasters. I cannot imagine what would have happened if we continued our journey there! Merci ya Rabb!

I am back to the office and as much as I enjoy it, I do get overwhelmed with the works. One of our team members is taking her maternity leave and the other one is joining a compulsory training as well. With me having my office on et off between my own leadership program, things can be a bit complicated. Yet, we have all the deadlines and we will have to find the way to work on it. I have reports due in June (and it's a big report indeed with a lot of negotiations and awareness raising programs) and more coming in between. We might have to make some traveling during the Ramadhan. Again, wish us luck!

Jakarta has been nice and cool 


We are also blessed to be able to welcome Ramadhan soon. What a special month it will be and I sincerely hope we will have all His blessings and repentance in this holy month. We are getting ready for the fasting month and gearing up our faith and perseverance. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Meanwhile, let's join me on Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends. Have fun joining the link party!

Have a great week, Happy Spring!
