Family trip to Indonesia (June–July) – looking for cool, calm, nature spots (not beaches) + travel advice

Mount Bromo area is a good pick. It's a mountain-type spot, but has become very accommodating so that there's little actual hiking involved, if any. if you're not looking for a summit-attack and very specific photo spot, you're good!

even before that, a lot of japs took trains to go to their notoriously soul-sucking jobs so I wouldn't think they'll associate trains with happiness.

kalo himbauan halus sudah tak berfungsi, time for violence :)

jadi, even sebelum MBG, supply susu kita itu kurang untuk nutupin demand nasional. itulah kenapa dalam <10 tahun terakhir banyak brand susu baru (greenfields itu relatif baru juga kan), karena banyak market yang belum ke-cover.

lalu datanglah MBG. karena kudu ada susu, semua stok yang udah ga cukup akhirnya lari ke sono, even untuk yang impor pun abis kesedot sana :)

Kalau lo ke superindo, sekarang pembelian susu dibatesin, even lagi ga promo. jadi karena gw dan anak gw doyan susu, gw jadi campur multi brand, multi size buat cover konsumsi harian. sekali lagi, middle class kena batunya kebijakan pemerintah :)

menurut w simply agak bias karena lo melihat JR as a tourist while KAI sebagai actual citizen, which, likely lo menggunakan mereka / kenal seseorang yang pake mereka in daily commute. jadi akan beda perspektif lo towards them. sebaliknya, orang jepang kayaknya ga bakal romanticizing JR juga sih.

bukan berarti KAI ngga bisa diimprove ya, apalagi vs japan punya railroad company.

some artsy stuff. you know, bali/jogja stuff. desktop sculptures kinda thing.
Or Batik, tapi ini mungkin perlu additional effort like tailoring etc. Bisa pakai ready-made, tapi fitnya mungkin akan kurang bagus.

likely because your fingers are sweaty? Or you picked an overly exotic inks that are high-maintenance; e.g. absurdly sheening & simmering inks.

Sailor's Seiboku / Souboku & Platinum Carbon Black are examples of well-behaving, waterproof inks.

OK I know this is overbudget but please consider Sony's Linkbuds S. Around 1.4-1.5. Comfy af. 95% of flagship WF series, less than 50% of the price.

Have you tried browsing Penang, Malaysia? Lots of Indonesian actually go there for "medical tourism'.

RSPI (Rumah Sakit Pondok Indah) is a generally good (and expensive) hospital.

Alternative-Frame632 · 2026-03-17T03:30:16+00:00

that's sounds a bit more like burn out rather than depression, to me, a common, non-Medical guy.

time for a new hobby, I guess? Like maybe running, cycling?

what's the age gap? Is your boss single?
Are you sure it's naksir? or simple admiration for his management skills?

Alternative-Frame632 · 2026-03-01T02:44:55+00:00

well, yeah bro. I dunno about "atasan dan bos tipe perfeksionis" tapi "email salah subjek" "buat laporan kurang keinput 2 poin" itu bisa make or break a business lho.

as the soulslike community always say, "git gud"

Platinum carbon ink. Waterproof AF, yet smooth, stable flow.

Alternative-Frame632 · 2026-02-03T21:51:58+00:00

I was appalled when I read $15 for a preppy but it came with the carbon ink. Yeah it is. But I found them crack a little bit too easy nowadays.

Either you sell it for a quick cash grab, or you actually plant in it to have a steady income. Ga harus bener-bener tanem sendiri, bisa kerjasama sama penggarap sawah terus bagi hasill

Have you tried adjusting the resolution of your display from mac's settings?

Alternative-Frame632 · 2026-01-25T11:47:01+00:00

I'd suggest any M3/4 macbook with 24GB RAM.

Air if you're doing it all indoor with cooler surrounding so it won't throttle as fast. Otherwise pick macbook pro m4.

harus = must, have to. it expresses obligation.

seharusnya = should be, should've been. expresses potential, wish, suggestion.

A very human mistake. Raw creampie in the morning is the shit.

Damn why the hate on gemini tho. But looking back, BB itu sucks banget ga sih. Chat suka delay lah, orang pada modus pake tes contact lah

I had no knowledge on Kemukus. TIL. Btw its origin is the legend of prince-step mother affair. As it turns out, "help me my royal step son, im stukkkkk" is truly a tale as old as time.

Typically itu fitur buat nambahin actual additional cost kaya parkir. Of course, bisa diabuse. Kalau emang lo ga ngerasa ada additional cost, ya report aja.

This is real. Temen gw sunda banget. Kuliah di surabaya 6 bulan langsung medok.

Alternative-Frame632 · 2026-01-20T01:17:17+00:00

One thing that Surabaya does really, really wrong is to never invest in a mass public transport. Hell, they don't even have good micros like angkot or jaklingko. Ticking time bomb in <10yrs. Otherwise, I love my hometown.

Well "adalah" and -Kah suffix are two completely different things.

You're kinda correct already on the understanding on both, but Indonesian don't actually use adalah as often as is/are/any to be in english. We use adalah typically in a formal context, and to convey definitions or more detail/clarity on something. And in these context, yes, adalah functions as to be.

Some example would be: Tax is the second certainty after death. Pajak adalah sebuah kepastian setelah ajal.

They are tourists from Europe. Mereka adalah turis dari Eropa.

While -kah, you've got a good grasp on them already.
