Reddish buildings with a familiar Portuguese architecture caught my attention when I was scrolling my social media feed. I clicked on the location my friend checked in to then I found out about Malacca, declared as UNESCO World Heritage in 2008.
From Malaysia with Style
I am so INTO fashion. I often express myself with clothes but I never categorised what kind of style I am into nor following the current trends. My goal is as simply as dress the dress that makes me happy (and looks taller!). Travelling and fashion are a perfect duo to maximise my happiness. This time, I fixed my eyes on Malaysia.

Celebrating the August 17th in 4 Different Cities 4 Years in a Row
OMG! Happy Independence Day from Godafoss, Iceland
Merdeka!!!
Today, August 17th, 2016 marks the 71th Independence Day of Indonesia. Every Indonesian celebrates this day with a huge enthusiasm.

They brought their proudness to many places around the world! From Labuan Bajo to Iceland.
Photo Essay: A Warm Afternoon at a Local Market in Toraja
Heaven. At least for a woman who loves to cook like me. I had been eating meat the whole days and I was craving for my veggies!
If you asked me where was my favourite place to interact with locals every time I travelled? I would have answer: local market.
Pak Hendrik brought us to eat Toraja’s Chicken Lawak at a Halal restaurant in front of a market. I was fascinated by how calm the angkot (public car) station was when he told me, “You’ll find the best coffee inside that market — Pasar Rebo.” He pointed to a market next to that station.
You Could Never Escape from Anything-with-Beef Cuisines in Makassar
My flight was at 6AM from Bandung to Makassar. I brought two slices of wheat bread because I knew I would starve during my 2h flight. I fell asleep immediately after I was seated. I didn’t realise if my plane had taken off nor I heard the attendants coming. I woke up in the middle of my flight to take a few bites of my breads, then got back to sleep.
Pimo, a friend of mine who worked in Makassar and the reason why my friends & I came here, picked me up at the airport. She found me grumbling on how starving I was. “OK, we pick Rina and Rara up, then we’ll have Sop Saudara. You have no objection of eating beef in the morning, right?” said Pimo calmly. I nodded immediately and said loudly, “I WANT ALL THOSE MAKASSAR AUTHENTIC CUISINES. YEAY!” I barely had heavy breakfast, but this time I wouldn’t say NO. Little I knew, I shouldn’t had said that because I could barely escape from beef here in Makassar. You’ll know why.

My Huge Admiration for Saung Angklung Udjo, Bandung, Indonesia
At the end of the show
“You have got one angklung each, now look at the number written at the bottom of your angklung, and pay attention to my right hand,” a warm voice of an average 50-ish man was heard throughout the mini auditorium. We were on our seventh session during the Angklung performance .
Stumbled Upon the Garden of Gemitir Flower in Bali
I didn’t expect to spend a morning with my jacket on and still get trapped in a super cold weather in Bali. Yes, Bali, the island of God that is known for its beautiful beaches and a perfect destination for those who want to runaway from an awful winter. My friend, Etta, who had been living for a year in Bali brought me to Bedugul. We woke up super early morning and started our ride to Bedugul. One thing for sure… I regret that I brought ONLY one sweater to Bali that time.
You Haven’t Experienced Spain ‘Till You Meet the Spanish’ La Siesta
You are invited to have a perfect siesta (Taken from source)
I have told my bestfriend, Martha, about this ice cream bar I fell in love with in Seville. So when she arrived a day after in Sevilla, I brought her directly to the bar after lunch. Little we knew that the bar was closed…for the Spanish’ La Siesta. La Siesta – the Spanish’ Siesta stands for the traditional nap time for about 15-30′ in the afternoon. In fact, this afternoon (nap+lunch) break takes 3h time from 2pm till 5pm. The history said that this traditional nap habit was started to cope up with the peak-heat during midday.
