National Insurance Number UK

My NIN (I covered the data due to security reasons)

Have you ever heard about National Insurance Number (NIN) in UK ??? I bet for those who willing to work and living  in UK.. you know about it, since you will need it ;) It's kinda important thing here. National Insurance number is personal account number. The number makes sure that the National Insurance contributions and tax you pay are properly recorded on your account. It also acts as a reference number for the whole social security system.

First time I realized that I need the NIN is when I wanted to open a Bank account. all the Bank kept asking me...

Bank : Miss, do you have NIN?? 

Me : Ummm what do you mean?? excuse me what iss that NIN???

Bank : The National Insurance Number!!

Me : Ahh okay how do I get it?? 

Bank : You should apply first then you can come again to our Bank. (smile and leave)

Me : £##€!!!*#€&% (confused)

Shortly, I decided to apply for it, so How do you get the National Insurance Number?? Here they are..

Visa Entrance to UK - EEA Family Permit

It's been a long time I willing to write about Visa Entrance to UK for European Family member... they called it Visa EEA (European Economic Area) Family Permit. This visa is for non-EEA member family, if your spouse is one of EEA member.. you can travel to UK with this kind of visa with condition !!! that you travel together with your spouse or you willing to join your spouse in UK.

I am an Indonesian citizen (non-EEA) and my husband is Italian (EEA member) so this visa is right for me if I traveling to UK with my husband or to join my husband in UK. For Italy, the visa need to be issued in Rome. The official agency is WorldBridge Visa.

Updated 2014 for apply visa check to the link here https://www.gov.uk/family-permit

I contacted so many unofficial agency and they charged a lots for this visa, without guarantee that your visa will be approved. Meanwhile the original fee is FREE. So my friend in Rome and Milan, gave me some information about the official visa agency. (Grazie cara Indah e Intan) . So continuing their kindness to me.. now I'm gonna share to you, so you don't need to go to another agency cos here everything is official and simple. No worries as long as your documents is complete ;)

Kue Lupis Eropa

One morning I really craving for Kue Lupis.. tiba tiba pengen banget makan kue lupis buat sarapan. Sayangnya ga ada yang jual.. jadinya berangkat yuuk masak kue lupis. Browsing sana kemari... cari resep di mbah google.. akhirnya bikin deh, tapi karena untuk dimakan sendiri.. Si abang sayang ga begitu suka nyobain makanan baru :)) kecuali dipaksa. Lol. Jdinya ini resepnya dibuat sedikit.. kira kira jadi sekitar 2-3 lontong lupis (tergantung bentuk lontongnya yah). Kebetulan ak bikinnya ada yang bentuk segitiga jg. Kenapa namanya Kue Lupis Eropa soalnya Kue Lupisnya putih deh kaya bule, karena ngerebusnya ga pake daun pisang abis disini jarang nemu daun pisang, ada sih cm beli dulu di market dan mahal ah mending buat beli cabe gitu.

Ngerebusnya ak pake plastik tahan panas biasanya sih untuk di oven, tapi bisa jg untuk direbus. Plastiknya ak potong (krn lebar banget) lalu di jahit jelujur dibentuk sedemikian rupa sesuai selera (panjang atau segitiga). terus jangan lupa di tusuk-tusuk kesegala penjuru deh (yang lg kesel, pelan2 nusuknya yah.. ntar sobek lg !!). ;)) Resepnya monggo di tengok.
