WW: Come Enjoy the Coffee and Be Weird at Core Coffee Lab and Retail Bali

Come Enjoy the Coffee and Be Weird at Core Coffee Lab and Retail Bali

Come Enjoy the Coffee and Be Weird!

When I saw that words right in front of Core Coffee Lab and Retail Bali, I knew I would get an enjoyable experience in this place. 

Just recently opened around a month ago, this place certainly has a lot to offer, particularly to those looking for real coffee and the perfect match for you. 

Knowing that coffee is not just a story in a cup, here you can enjoy the journey of discovering the real coffee for you and exploring the limitless world of caffein - induced nirvana.

I was privilege to meet Lou, the coffee master who is also the owner of this place and the winner of coffee competition she attended before. We really had a lovely chit - chat while discussing her wonderful coffee lab, the brewing process, the beans she acquired from different corners of the world and more. She certainly has a lot of tools, including Kalita, Chemex, 

The place is super cozy as well. Bright light place with nice bench and lovely toilets. We can also get some healthy food and grains here, plus super delicious kaastengel or cheese cookies and nastar or the pineapple cookies.

Together with some friends from Jakarta and Bali Local Guides, we had the meeting here and enjoyed our coffee journey. 

Check our some photos I took during our visit to Core Coffee Lab and Retail Bali.

We certainly had so much fun that day and for sure, we'd love to come back.

let's try!

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

 Back to Bali and I am sooo thrilled!

I can never say no whenever a trip to Bali is on the table. This time, I stay for about 6 days for 4 different back - to - back meetings. I know that it's going to be tough, demanding and for sure tiring, but hey, Bali and its wonderful perks are just waiting around the corner! So here's to meetings, drafting, and enjoying the land of the Gods and Goddesses.

the beauty of Bali

We are lucky enough that most of the meetings finish at around 5 PM so that we have time to enjoy dinner in various places, especially those cute cafes and interesting places like spa and shops in Canggu and Seminyak. I have been visiting 5 so far during this trip, surely with health protocol being observed. I have Como Beach Club, Santorini, Bodyworks, Seminyak Village, Tepi Sungai and more. I can't wait to explore more. There is so much that Bali can offer and as everything is improving, the international passengers are be able to visit Bali again. I sincerely hope that this will bring all the benefits to the local people who have been suffering a lot from COVID - 19 since early 2020. Cheers to Bali and all of us as well.

WW: Enjoying Hilton Resort Nusa Dua Bali

Hi everyone.

Happy to welcome you here and welcome you back to Bali.

Never get tired or bored with this amazing land of Bali. 

This time, I stayed in Hilton Resort Nusa Dua Bali. 

As you can imagine, Hilton Resort is part of the international chain hotel. I have been staying in many of this group's property and so far I have been enjoying them.

Some of the photos I took are from the area around the hotel, the room, and the beach. I will certainly be back with the complete review of this place. 

As you can see, the room is spacious, beautiful and comfortable indeed. I certainly have no complaints!

I am indeed in my happy place here.

The white sandy beach is super lovely and sunrise is amazing.

WW: Happy Batik Day 2021

Happy Batik Day, everyone.

Happy Batik Day from indah nuria

Selamat Hari Batik

October 2nd has been declared as Batik day, since Batik, one of Indonesia's most celebrated traditional heritage, is recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity back in 2009. Since then, people's attention to Batik, be it from fellow Indonesians as well as foreigners, is exponentially increasing. 

My friends and I at the UN Security Council, proudly wearing batik

I myself has been a big fan and collector of Batik as well as other wastra nusantara since the last 15 years. I was so lucky that my mom and my grand parents collected them as well so I do have some ancient and rare collection of these precious fabrics.

Cintai karya bangsa yang luar biasa ini ♥️♥️♥️♥️

To me, Batik is a perfect example of the labour of love reflecting the vibrant cultures, undying creativity and flaming passion. 

Ada warna - warni asa di dalamnya, yang sarat filosofi dan makna hidup. 

Cinta INDONESIA, cinta BATIK 🇮🇩♥️🇮🇩..

Nothing else to say but I am super proud to wear BATIK wherever I go. 

It’s surely an incredible work of art, tangled with love, exquisite taste, everlasting colors, generation-to-generation wisdom and meaningful patterns, which teach you the deep-rooted lessons of life. Aaah.. who wouldn’t love and proud to wear Batik 💜

Here you will see many occasions when I, alone or together with bosses, friends & family, are so proud wearing my batik 🥰.

WW: Reminiscing of the Past - United Nations Headquarters New York City

"No Violence" sculpture welcoming you to the UN Headquarters in NYC

Hi everyone.

The High Level Week of United Nations General Assembly for its 76th session has started. And some of the world's attention are directed to the Big Apple, where the UN Headquarters is located. This year, the meetings were conducted in hybrid way, a combination of online platform, pre-recorded messages and physical presence at the UN General Assembly Hall. More than 100 head of states and/or governments have confirmed their presence in this august body, together with smaller entourage obviously. For sure, strict health protocol is fully observed at all times. 

The view of Long Island City seen from the UNHQ building

Like last year, I didn't travel to New York City to attend the meetings as we have many restrictions due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we continue to provide support from Jakarta and I have to admit, I do miss visiting the UNHQ in these crazy days.

There are times when we were constantly moving around and being mobile, exploring different corners of the UN and preparing meetings or anything that popped out. It was extremely exhausting but rewarding at the same time. I made so many friends, learnt tremendous amount of substantive issues and beneficial skills, particularly in negotiation and communication, and had the time of my life here.

So, now, I would like to rekindle my memories and share some of the snaps I took during the many sessions of UN General Assembly that I have attended so far, starting from 2014 - 2019.

Most of the photos I have here were taken during the special High Level Week session of the UN GA, where New York City, particularly the area around the UN and Midtown Manhattan, temporarily turns into a circus. It all was caused by the high-level security arrangement the US and the UN have in order to welcome and ensure the safety and the well-being of many prominent world leaders, including POTUS himself.

Some of the following pictures were taken from the UN Security Council, particularly when Indonesia was the President of the Security Council in May 2019. I was privileged to be part of the team here.

Then let me take you to the Indonesian Lounge in the UNHQ. Not many country's name was dubbed as the name of the lounge or the room in this building so I am super proud to take you here. Interested to know why it is named after my country? I wrote the story about Indonesian Lounge at the UN HQ here: Indonesian Lounge at the UN Headquarters.

And of course, the amazing art works and installations you can find around the area, be it inside or outside of the UNHQ building. The clear blue sky, the calming East River and astonishing city line are my favorite as well. Well, enjoy!
