  • One of many reasons why I enjoy morning walks

    One of many reasons why I enjoy morning walks

    There is another cat, I called them “cow” because they have black-and-white coat. Cow was nowhere to be seen (then again, Cow usually appears in the afternoons/evenings.)

  • Saturday morning walk: Tasik Permaisuri Park

    Saturday morning walk: Tasik Permaisuri Park

    Someone brought one big sack of bread and he shared it with other park goers to feed the fishes.

  • Penne pasta with tuna and grilled veggies

    Penne pasta with tuna and grilled veggies

    At this point, it might be known that I really really like pumpkin. We had rice for dinner yesterday, and the day before, and I got so tired after a Zoom hangout with my colleagues (today is a full-meetings day.) I tried to come up with some quick and easy recipe, and as tempting as…

  • Exercising is a go!

    With the risk of jinxing things (because I tend to jinx stuffs whenever I talked about it,) I’m pretty proud to say that I’m starting doing exercise since early June. I haven’t done anything super intensive as I don’t think I would be able to do it (I once tried Stair Master equipment on my…

    (Leftover) chicken porridge with sweet pumpkin

    I suddenly remembered one of my colleagues once asked this question: “Do you have any tips on how to combat post-lunch sleepiness?” This is one of the tips.

Kecak dance is telling a story of Ramayana ballad — a story about a prince (Lord Rama) with his wife, Sita (in Indonesia, we named her “Shinta”) and their battle against evil force: Ravana. The story opens with kecak…

  • “Friday Nights” — John OFA Rhee w. Bottle Gods

    This song is peak pandemic + introverts + geriatric millennials (“alright, it’s 10 PM! Time for me to go to bed.”) I never relate to a song this much. But wait, do I really have to go outside?All them people they drive me so damn crazyTryna tell me they’re something they’re not Oh wait, do…

  • Morning drink

    Morning drink

    Not a beer. And yes, Daft Punk forever. It’s a non-alcoholic malt drink with peach flavor. Also, it’s 10 AM ? I found myself liking the non-alcoholic counterparts due to taste. Alcohol is a refined taste, and it takes experience to fully enjoy it. For me, I still can’t get beyond the bitter taste or…

  • “Time Traveling” — Anthony Lazaro and Sarah Kang

    My two favorite humans. This song was made during the height of the pandemic — telling a story of long-distance lovers. ‘Cause when you have your morning coffee I’m turning out the lights so I could dream And when you smile through the screen I wish you could be here with me
