The other day, I watched “How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies” with my friends. What started as a simple after-office outing turned into a hot mess of us crying in the cinema, and understandably so. Now, I don’t want to risk spoiling the movie, and this post is not about how good the movie…
It certainly feels like forever since I am sat face-to-face with a blank screen, ready to write. Gone were the days when I could just open a writing prompt every Saturday and jot away on my notebook to write short proses for my readers. And the saddest part is, I am well aware how writing…
Halo. Jujur, aneh rasanya membuka blog ini lagi setelah sekian lama vakum posting. Bagaimana tidak? Terakhir kali ada tanda-tanda kehidupan di blog ini, ya sekitar setahun yang lalu. Kalau ditanya apakah masih ada pembaca yang mau membaca ocehanku di sini, aku juga kayaknya nggak bisa jawab. Tahun sudah berganti, dan berhubung banyak banget teman-teman pembaca…
Belakangan ini, saya lagi nggak mood nulis. Kalau ditanya kenapa, alasannya banyak: kerjaan yang menggunung, baju kotor yang menunggu dicuci, bahan makanan yang menanti dimasak. Kalau saya diberi waktu untuk menjelaskan kenapa saya nggak mood nulis, saya rasa saya bisa menghabiskan setengah jam sendiri untuk mencoba menjelaskannya. Tapi, terlepas dari jawaban yang keluar dari mulut…
Yes, I know, it’s already several days into the year, but I think it’s never too late to come up with your own New Year’s resolution, even if you’re several months late! Here’s the story. After 2020 ended, I read my journal from start to finish, taking note of all the things I aspired to…
To be honest, I never expected my next blog post to be written on the very last day of 2020. I didn’t even plan to write anything a week ago, lest I’ll sound overly dramatic and emotional with all the reminiscence and rewind of everything that happened in 2020. I’ve seen enough posts about it.…
When I was a kid, my father almost always worked until very late every day. It baffled me to think that I never had a good, long, conversation with him until I hit puberty—not because we didn’t want to, but because he was never around, to begin with. After all, he always went to work…
If you know me at all, then you would know that I’m borderline obsessed with stationeries. And I’m not just talking about my obsession for fountain pens—I love all stationeries equally. Want to make me happy, even during my worst days? Just introduce me to some unique, cute stationeries, and 9 out of 10, I…
I would like to take some moment and dedicate this blog post to thank several very kind souls who had helped me a lot in 2020. These are the people who stuck with me through thick and thin—they are the reason that I’m still here; alive and kicking; appreciating life in all its form and…
I don’t know why, but I just have this very strange attraction towards somebody else’s wishlist. Not to be confused with being covetous or anything, but there’s just something so inspiring and weirdly… whimsical about seeing what sparks creativity and productivity in someone else—even more so if the person is a creative. You know, like…
