Sunday Afternoon Tea session brought me and my husband here. Setelah siangnya menghadiri kawinan, kami berdua memutuskan untuk mencari tempat duduk-duduk sore yang nyaman untuk melanjutkan brainstorming pekerjaan kami. Setelah melihat beberapa "saved" list saya di Instagram, kami mendatangi kawasan Cikajang dan Pasar Santa. Awalnya mau di salah satu kafe yang sudah banyak review online di jalan Cipaku I, tapi ternyata tempatnya kecil dan parkirnya pun susah. Akhirnya maju sedikit melewati Pasar Santa, lihatlah sign board bulat besar, "Ruma Eatery".



Tempatnya persis di depan Masjid besar, Daruut Tauhiid. Tempat parkirnya cukup luas dan restonya tampak besar dengan jendela kaca lebar. Karena menjelang asar, kamipun berhenti di sini agar dapat solat di masjid sebrang. Di depan pintu, kami disapa promo stand bertulisan "Nyemil Sore: Kue + Kopi = 35 ribu.  Pukul 15:00 - 17:00". Langsung terpaku dan merasa PAS sekali nih, affordable and just what we aimed for.

Setelah masuk, ternyata tempatnya memang besar, sepi dan dingin. Homey dan nyaman sekali pula! Saat kami ke sini sedang mendung dan hampir hujan lebat sekali, which made this large window-filled place so tempting and beautiful! Resto ini terdapat dua lantai, lantai 1 adalah tempat memesan makanan, kue dan kopi, serta kursi dan meja ala cafe. Lantai 2nya cukup luas juga dengan tempat duduk sofa-sofa yang nyaman dan dingin juga karena adanya AC berderet di dinding. Ruma Eatery ini semacam menjunjung tema rustic dengan railing besi dan dinding bata alami yang dipenuhi dengan tumbuhan hijau sebagai dekorasi. Cantik sekali!



Tidak hanya menjual kue-kue dan minuman, ternyata di Ruma Eatery juga menjual makanan lauk rumahan yang enak sekali. Pilihan lauk untuk "nasi rames" ini juga banyak sekali, contohnya Ayam Rica Rica, Ayam Betutu, Daging Sapi Cabe Hijau, beragam sayuran dan banyak lainnya. At first, kita tidak expect rasa yang gimana-gimana, tapi ternyata we were amazed at how delicious it is. Kopi, Hot Chocolate dan kue yang kami pesan pun cukup mendukung dari segi rasa dan estetika. Resto ini juga sudah dilengkapi dengan wifi yang cukup kencang untuk kami berdua bekerja dengan laptop kami. Ambience dan musiknya juga sangat cocok dan pas untuk bekerja atau sekedar hang out catching up with your friend.

Kalau kamu mencari tempat nyaman anti mainstream di daerah Pasar Santa, saya sangat merekomendasikan Ruma Eatery. Tempatnya yang nyaman, dengan makanan rumahan dan minuman yang enak, serta harga yang juga masih sangat affordable untuk kawasan kafe-kafe hits masa kini. Pembayarannya pun sudah didukung oleh hampir semua digital wallet, debit dan cash. So, next time you need a place to hang with your friends or work remotely, coba deh ke Ruma Eatery ini.

So I've officially become a #digitalnomad for almost 6 months now. Dengan 'kebebasan' yang bisa saya atur sendiri, pekerjaan dapat mudah saja saya kerjakan dari mana saja. Mau itu di rumah, kafe atau di mobil, selama saya membawa "hidup" (baca: laptop) saya kemana-mana, saya bisa saja melakukan pekerjaan saya.

Okay, okay, so the title might be too promising, but I am certainly not kidding about how amazing it was to be lift up in a huge Ferris Wheel looking out at the vast land of Jakarta. Though I never been to London Eye myself, but I'm sure this is how it would feel <3



J-Sky Ferris Wheel is the name! It is located at AEON Mall Jakarta Garden City, Cakung, East Jakarta. At the top level of the mall, it stood largely at 69 meters above the ground and 50 meters in diameters. Since its opening on September 2017, J-Sky Ferris Wheel has been recorded as the tallest ferris wheel in Indonesia by MURI Indonesian Museum of World Records!

This amusement ride has become a popular site to visit among the people of the greater Jakarta region. Not to mention that this newly established area (Jakarta Garden City) is still very wide with greens, easily accessible and location-wise, quite strategic. With the hopes of combining crowds from Jabodetabek area and other regions in Indonesia, J-Sky Ferris Wheel and AEON Mall Jakarta Garden City will become the hottest public attraction in Jakarta.



J-Sky Ferris Wheel has 32 pink gondolas ready to carry up to 6 people in one round (about 15 minutes). However if you plan to go on a date with your loved one on a couple sky adventure, you can pay extra for more rounds and some gondolas opt with a romantic table settings!





J-Sky Ferries Wheel gondolas are equipped with its own air conditioning and offers a beautiful view of Jakarta. The facility is open up to 10 pm at night, so you can definitely experience the night time view from above. Other than J-Sky Ferris Wheel, AEON Mall Jakarta Garden City is also facilitated with kids playground, great for sushi and Japanese restaurant-hopping, as well as an ice skating rink! Definitely a one stop destination for all amusement activities for you, your friends and family!

J-Sky Ferris Wheel Ticket Price:
Single - Rp. 50.000
Couple - Rp. 160.000
VIP - Rp. 350.000

If you ever feel bored of your regular coffee shop that you've been to many times, maybe it's time to make a change.



The latest cafe in town, KLTR Coffee Roaster has emerged, joining thousands of coffee shops in Jakarta. But here's a special twist. Their coffee shop addressed to the widest and humblest customers in the middle of the bustling Jakarta CBD. Located at the ground floor of Apartment Pavillion Retail Arcade (next to Sudirman Citywalk to ease you), KLTR coffee has me stunned for their delicious meals and drinks!

"Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life" - Conficius

I'm sure you're familiar with that quote. As a millenial I must admit that working day to day in the office is hardly a passion for many. I've worked in a total of four companies. All happened to disappoint. Not because of anything bad, thankfully I always manage to find positivity in everything. So all of my experience in the office is always great. I found networks, ideas, strategies, and obviously got paid enough to live my daily life. 

What's traveling on a plane if you don't sit by the window? Well, I guess if you're not a fan of heights, you'd pass. But I'm here to tell you how very unlucky of you to be missing out the world's greatest sights! Window seat is always my favorite spot when I travel by plane. Sure, it's difficult to cross over other passengers when you need to go to the toilet, but watching the plane slowly drift off, finally fly, making turns and revealing what's underneath tens of thousands of feet above, it's a whole different kind of breathtaking thing.

Here I want to show a few of the best aerial view (view from the airplane window - Duh!), that I've ever witness. And I do sometime regret that I don't always carry a camera or let my phone on (stays in airplane mode though!) to be able to capture the best aerial moments, but I hope some of these images does justice. One other trick to witness one of the best aerial views? Midnight to early AM flights. Sunrise is such a tease when you're on an airplane.
