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..

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday  and have fun with the link party!

Let's keep our ocean clean and beautiful

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

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

Welcome back!

I am super relieved that my training is completed and although I have to go back to my back-to-back meetings and deadlines at the office, I am glad that one important step in my career is completed. It was quite burdensome as I have to do it back to back with all the demanding works from the office. Well, I guess it teaches me more about time and stress management, as I really struggled with those during the training. Now, I am back focusing on some deadlines and perhaps, getting ready for the next assignment abroad. Sound like a plan! 

I have been wanting to travel a bit a gain but apparently I have to wait as the condition is far from conducive. We have surging numbers of cases of COVID-19 and after the celebration of Eid-Al Fitr, which for some involved family gathering and traveling in groups, we are now looking at people infected by the virus. We even have many casualties in the office and the policies of hosting meetings are getting tougher. Sometimes I feel so tired and hopeless with all the chaos created by this virus, but I know we just have to continue fighting. God, bless us strength and perseverance and this too shall pass! 

Now I feel like I need to do diving soon. Hope I can do it soon. I feel like I need something to keep my spirit up and not succumb to the depression choking us here and there. Well, while waiting for the right time to go out and about again, I busy myself with works and dig deep to my external hard drive to see some cool and relaxing clips I took underwater. Well, it helps for a while. I just can't wait to hit the road and start new adventures! Wait for me, world...

let's go diving....

And now, without further ado, join me on Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends. Enjoy the link party!

WW: Amazing Seafood at Bahari Restaurant, Makassar, South Sulawesi

Amazing Seafood at Bahari Restaurant, Makassar, South Sulawesi

Visiting Makassar, South Sulawesi, will not be complete without trying its famous food. Besides Coto Makassar, Konro, Palu butung, and  Pisang Ijo,  Makassar is also famous for its wide variety of fresh seafood. 

Complete menus on the table!

The last time I visited Makassar, it was for a long transit so I didn't really get a chance to enjoy this wonderful city. Yet, when I came back here last May, I only had 3 short days as it was already packed with meetings. But then again, I was lucky that we had the chance to enjoy whatever we can enjoy in our super tight schedule. 

Chili crabs, anyone?

I managed to try Coto Makassar twice, in 2 restaurants which are famous for this hot, beef soup packed with wonderful spices. But what strikes me most os our dinner at Bahari Restaurant, where we enjoyed a wide variety of seafood menus at its best! 

All the sambals or chili sauce you need for the seafood

Let's take a look at these photos. As you can see, there are so many amazing food... starting from grilled Baronang fish to tamarind-marinated squids (it is very good indeed surprisingly), to chilly crabs and grouper fish spicy soup. 

Grilled Baronang... fresh, with a hint of lemon drops!

Not to mention otak - otak or steamed/grilled fish cake (one of my fave!) and more!

Otak - otak... one of my fave..

Those are some of the seafood I managed to try and I know I will be back with Coto Makassar as well. So, how do you like them? Tasty, right! 

Wishing you all a lovely week ahead and join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party!

Mural at Kendal Tunnel, Jakarta

Art Mural at Kendal Tunnel, Central Jakarta 

After quite some times, I visited one of the new  additions of artistic corner in Central Jakarta, Kendal Tunnel.

Have you been here? 

I recently visited this very spot for a little photo session with a friend. This tunnel is unique as it used to be an active road, but it was then repurposed as mini skate park and artistic hub built near the MRT Station of Dukuh Atas. After all those times, I just managed to visit it!

Many enjoy the art mural at Kendal Tunnel, Central Jakarta 

It was really fun to see the development in this area. As the MRT route was inaugurated in March 2019 by the Indonesian President, Pak Joko Widodo, the areas near the stations have been beautifully developed. Kendal Tunnel is one of them, dedicated as an artistic pedestrian spot which has been elaborated with murals. 

the beasty wolf..

One part of the tunnel is adorned with animal - themed mural, particularly wolves and wild dogs in the artistic forms, with bold colors and shades.

On the other side of the tunnel, rows of 2 murals are depicting the life in Jakarta nowadays. You will see the MRT, the sky scrappers, Trans Jakarta or the Bus Rapid System in Jakarta, as well as  others.

I took the liberty to take some pictures, of course, as I enjoyed strolling around the area. Sunday morning walk is getting more and more fun!

So, what do you think about the art murals at Kendal Tunnel, Jakarta? 

Do you like it? which part of it you like most? I hope I can find more place like this and share it in my blog. Meanwhile, stay safe, happy and healthy, wherever you are!

cheers from the Art Mural at Kendal Tunnel, Central Jakarta 

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

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

June is here and I keep saying to myself how time flies even though we don't (always) have fun!

I am still in the final phase of my National Leadership Training program and as you can guess, here comes to the most stressful time of the training, finishing up my final project, finalizing my reports and presenting them to the panel. Well, I am quite sure about my project and have no worries presenting it, it's just the writing of the reports and showcasing all the evidence proved to be time consuming, amidst the never ending deadline I have from the office works. Well, by the time I am writing it, I am still working on the report. Good thing my presentation is done and after that, the video is waiting. Well, wish me luck!

Last week we had super sad news. We lost Ink, or lovely called Inky by me, our cute little mixed Persian kitten. My little furry girl already passed away when my son found her in the morning. We didn't know what really happened. I was in Makassar when I received this distressing call from Bo, telling my hubby was sick (it was like food poisoning apparently) and Inky died. I was so sad. Well all of us are sad, till now. We have taken extra measures to ensure Inky was well taken care of since day one. She was always the tiniest in the group and she got the last milk most of the time. That is why we gave her extra milk after consulting with our vet. Well, my darling little girl.. rest in peace and have fun biting all those sandals you can find in heaven. You are greatly missed, girl!

our dearest Inky.. rest in peace..

Other than that, I have been busy at the office. I can't wait to get a chance to coe back home to Lampung and meet our family there. Not to mention my diving alarm seems to be setting off all the time, reminding me that I have not been doing it for quite some times. I really hope I can go back and feel the sea breeze again. I am scheduled to go back to my training for a week and after that rows of meetings await. Perhaps Bandung and Bogor are in the pipeline. Well.. let's see how things go.

So now, let me welcome you to our weekly linky party, Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends.

Please stay safe, happy, and healthy wherever you are, dear friends.

Welcome to our Memorial Day Wonderful Wednesday, we honor all Military that gave their lives to protect the United States to keep us free at home. And to thank all Military that are currently serving to continue protecting us. We will always remember that the brave warriors gave their lives in defense of this country and its people!

God Bless America and Its People! 

join us!
