The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts

2020 is only 40 days old and here I am again recollecting all the new year spirit that had crushed to pieces in order to make life on course again. Not easy, I must say, especially when Copenhagen’s wind blowing in its full speed this week. I might have lost some pieces in the famous Copenhagen’s Four Lakes on my way biking home.

The Valentine’s Week

This is it. This is the week most people have mixed feeling about. The Valentine’s week.

I thought being with someone would solve it all. I thought I will be so peaceful and spend this week with my own version happilly-ever-after. Oh I could have not be more wrong then ever.

Oh the pressure…

The Joy Of Remembering

 

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Dear Laura Valentina Sitorus,

A Letter for Mom.

Dear Mom,

I hope this letter find you well. I dont wanna be melodramatic by writing this letter but I have to say, I have been thinking abouth death more than usual.

Remember, my dream to be an architect? I always wanted to be an architect. I always dream to build a home where my family can live and I also made a smaller cottage in the backyard for you to live with me all the days of our lives. I remember I can just hop to your cottage and see you playing with my kids. That was the dream. It had been long crushed when you died.

I thank God for snow. ☺️❄️❄️❄️

It is a represention of a dream come true. It is a way of God telling me “I hear you.” Elhoim she roeh, God who sees and Elhoim lishmor, God who listens.

I thank God for a comfortable world class university that I’m studying at. Not everyone has the opportunity to sit here and enjoy the luxury of knowledge.

Lauterbrunnen-Kleine Scheidegg, The Alps, Switzerland

It was the day when we were going to the top of Europe. I was so excited. It would be my first time seeing, touching and feeling the snow. No snow in Indonesia. We took the train from Interlaken to Interlaken Ost to Matten and change in Lauterbrunnen. We bought a package ticket to Jungfraujoch, so all these train tickets are included.

The Louvre, Paris, France

Ever since I watched and read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, there’s this lingering feeling to visit The Louvre museum one day. Well, the day has come. And I have never felt like this for ages. I have never  imagine that I would be standing in front of the pyramid of The Louvre in Paris, France. What a dream came true! ❤

It’s not hard to get to this museum. There are signs to get there. Well, to make this settle once and for all, Paris is a very tourist-friendly place. But, even though there are so many tourist attractions in Paris. A place like The Louvre might push you to the limit because of its long (very long) queu. And sometime we just dont get it. We could buy the ticket else where, but where? Is it legal tickets? is it more expensive than the ticket from The Louvre counter?

Well, i’m glad to say. We really could get the tickets elsewehere to avoid the super long queu. The price is still the same and it’s legit! This is one of the “tourist-friendly” thing that I mentioned you ealier. In fact you might even get a discount if you booked the tickets in advance. Now, that’s a good deal, dont you think?
