Hello Again. I'm very pleased to write again. Today I want to write about my first freediving lesson experience at Tunda Island. One word: AMAZING. I've been swimming since I was 3, and I did some competition when I was in elementary school. Until now, swimming is my favorite sport all the time. I feel calm in the water, I can be myself, and it's a great "me time" session. Besides that, I often swimming with speed, because I get to use it when I was trained as an athlete. But swimming in the ocean is not as same as swimming in the pool, we should enjoy the ocean scenery, no need to rush. A week ago, I did join a trip to Tunda Island, Serang Banten, Indonesia. It was my first time to go on a trip (you may check on Instagram: @ansor_officialTrip)  alone without friends or family. Fortunately, I met new friends. They are free-divers and fun people. One of them, miss Irma or you can find her Instagram with @_irmave_ taught me how to freediving. She taught me how to br...

I've been watching Korean Drama since High school. However, I was not that intense.  I loved to watch it but not addicted.  Okay then the Pandemic Covid 19 happens, I stayed at home for almost 8 months now. Most of the time I spend my day with my daughter and do zoom meetings. And I still adapt it, it's not easy to change my life habit. I'm not a "stay at home" person. Then, I re-watched all the Song Hye Kyo drama. My first Korean Drama is "Endless Love" or "Autumn in my Heart". I cried so hard when I watched it 😂. I saw Song Hye Kyo for the first time when I was in high school, and she was beautiful at that time and still beautiful until now. She is not even aging. The story is very very very sad. I can't hold my tears if I watch a movie about "cancer" or any kind of sickness theme. My second favorite is The Descendant of the Sun. The Song-Song Couple chemistry was very perfect! No wonder their romance keep going until they were...

Co-parenting? what is that? for you who has "a perfect family" hopefully will never experience this. I started to google it since April 2019. I never know and never want to experience this kind of parenting method. However, some sh%%$ happened and the show must go on.  When you google "co-parenting", you will face several articles about it. Basically, co-parenting means you and your ex-spouse collaborate together to raise the kid, despite your hates and egos. And how to do it? the answer is I DON'T KNOW. I just try not to fight or against your ex-spouse in front of your kid and pretend "everything is just fine". I try to explain the kid every night such as "Mommy and daddy can't get along together anymore, however, we still love you and want the best for you". I will allow my daughter if she wants to meet her dad and vice versa. On the other hand, especially in Indonesia, the "co-parenting" method is unusual. Therefore, you need...

Hi, it's been a while... So many things happen in my life. Start from I joined a Fintech Center Project of Indonesian Regulator as an expert because of my finance and banking background that leads me to my new role and then I have a lot of things to do to support Indonesian Fintech ecosystem. So here I'm writing to give you some insight before you create your own Fintech. Honestly, I've been met more than 100 young entrepreneurs in this 4 months. Some of them are really good, smart and charismatic. Although some of them really not sure what going on, they don't know what do, and I can tell that they are "lost".

I'll give you some advice before you meet Indonesian Regulators. Before I start, you may know Indonesia has big potentials of digital finance market. Firstly, now Indonesia is the 16th world ...

Hi it's been a while... Today I would like to share my experience as a baby swill class coach at @splishsplashid. However, I never thought that I could teach parents how to swim safely with their babies. When I was a kid, I got a gold medal for swimming competition for all primary school student in Jakarta, and I love to swim. My point is every good thing that we've learned in the past will give us an advantage, build our character and determine who we are.

So here some tips for a parent when swimming with their baby under one year old. I recommend you to start swim together with your baby when she/he is six months old. There are some advantages for baby join baby swimming class such as build his/her character to be more confident, enhance bonding between parent and baby, healthy together (of course), sleeping tra...

Hello Again... two weeks after labor I will share "how I can manage my study while I have a newborn Baby". Alhamdulillah I did my master degree. I was thinking to write about this blog but I wait until I done my study.  Actually, becoming a new MOM is not easy for every woman in the world. Not only me as an international student, but also for every new mom, for an example a working mom also has her own challenges, especially when her maternity leaves is over and has to be back to work. Besides, a full-time mom might have her own story too. However, based on my experience. I can create a short list of study tips for a new mom as follows            1. Pray As a Muslim, I pray 5 times a day. During my prayer, I always ask ALLAH SWT to give me strength so I can fulfill my study and become a great mom without any problems. It gives me hope that Allah SWT always with me so I can through it well. At my main Campus, University of Notti...
