The Novodevichy Convent


The Novodevichy Convent, is one of UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is in south-western Moscow, built in the 16th and 17th centuries in the so-called Moscow Baroque style, was part of a chain of monastic ensembles that were integrated into the defense system of the city. The convent was directly associated with the political, cultural and religious history of Russia, and closely linked to the Moscow Kremlin. It was used by women of the Tsar�s family and the aristocracy. Members of the Tsar�s family and entourage were also buried in its cemetery. The convent provides an example of the highest accomplishments of Russian architecture with rich interiors and an important collection of paintings and artefacts.

Biara Novodevichy (biara khusus untuk biarawati saja) adalah salah satu Situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO. Letaknya di barat daya Moskow, dibangun di abad ke 16th dan17th dengan gaya bangunan Baroque Moskow, bangunan ini merupakan bagian dari biara-biara yang juga menjadi bangunan pertahanan kota Moskow. Biara ini erat kaitannya dengan sejarah politik, budaya, dan keagamaan Rusia, dan juga Kremlin Moskow. Biara ini dulu digunakan oleh anggota keluarha wanita dari kekaisaran Tsar dan juga bangsawan lainnya. Anggota keluarga kekaisaran Tsar dan pekerja migrannya juga dikuburkan di makam di biara ini. Biara ini menunjukkan keindahan arsitektur Rusia yang megah dan rumit  yang diperkaya dengan interior mewah dan dilengkapi dengan koleksi lukisan dan artefak penting.

My favorite are the cute Russian doll and map sticker, and most of all the triangle emboss stamp


Snowy World

Dunia bersalju
Putih dengan langit biru
Patung penanda berselimut salju
Pepohonan tertunduk layu
Berat beban menyangga selaput salju
Rumah mirip vila merah indah terpaku
Tak mau kalah dengan gundukan salju
Putih tebal, tebal sekali sang salju
Menutup jalan pendaki melaju
Biar penuh salju
Kereta pembawa pemain ski terus berpacu
Mengantarkan mereka menaikimu
Pegunungan tertutup salju
Indahnya Pusteven di Republik Ceko
Terimakasih kawanku Juraj

Happy Holidays

It's late for the greeting now. But a postcard is always memorable. I received a postcard from Eret, she's Estonian. She sent me 4 postcards in a beautiful envelopes, i think she made the envelope by herself. I'm lucky. She sent me lovely cards. This one is what she wrote for me in one of the postcard. Thank you so much my dearest Eret. Wherever you are, God bless you always.

Beautiful envelope from Eret. I think she made it by herself. What a talented lady :D. I blurred our address.


Beautiful snowy postcard. Too bad Eret didn't translate the Estonian word on this postcard. 



Saint Petersburg

Saint Petersburg

Saint Petersburg putih bersalju
Dari jauh aku mengagumimu

Terletak di Sungai Neva, di ujung teluk Finlandia di Laut Baltik
Istimewa, temuan Peter Sang Agung nan ayu menggelitik

Dulu kala jadi ibu kota, sekarang jadi  pusat budaya Eropa
Jadi rumah museum seni terbesar dunia
Jadi rumah warga Rusia

Di kartu pos ini aku nampak katedral agungmu
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood tertulis di balik lembarmu
Sungai Moika tertulis di situ
Aku tak nampak jelas tapi kutahu
Moika menambah indah pesonamu
Jembatan Teatralny nampak menungguku

Suatu hari aku akan berdiri di sisimu
Menatap indahnya langit biru
Di Saint Petersburg di hari Rabu
Entah di musim panas bermandi keringat dan debu
Atau di musim dingin bersepatu boot bermantel tebal kelabu
Akan aku kunjungi dirimu
