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.

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: More Underwater Beauty of Tanjung Putus Lampung, Indonesia

 More Underwater Beauty of Tanjung Putus Lampung, Indonesia

The month of June is when we celebrate the World Ocean Day.

I know that it is celebrated on June 8, but to me, with the mounting problems we face in the ocean, due to the long lists of irresponsible damages done by us humans as well as other related factors such as climate change, we really have to pay closer attention to our oceans.

Please, let's ask ourselves what we can do to keep our oceans clean and healthy. I know you know what we can do about it, like reduce the use of plastic, stop littering the ocean, be mindful with your sports and tourism activities, pick up the trashes on the beach and at the ocean, and support the organization or movement that help clean the ocean.

So now, let me invite you to enjoy the beauty of underwater world in Tanjung Putus, Lampung, Indonesia again. 

Healthy corals and their dwellers are what we love to see..

You will see why we have to take care of all these precious creatures and environment. Not only for them, but also for own benefit and survival.

Happy to meet the clown fish again here

I wish to see more fish and sea creatures down here..

Let's keep our ocean clean and beautiful

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?

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.

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!

pineapples... for our favorite Nastar cookies

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!
