    39

    39

    A bit of (fun) fact about me: After 38-39 years, I realized I don’t really like cakes. Or at least, I can only have one small slice of cake or half of a cupcake. The same goes with other pastries. Either one portion only, or half of it. Or harass my husband so I can… Continue reading

    My favorite part of my trips

    My favorite part of my trips

    I’ve been living a (hashtag) blessed life as I had the opportunity to travel to different places as part of my work as an Automattician. Now that the Division Meetup in Munich, Germany is passed, I want to recap some of my favorite things from my travels so far. Orlando, United States of America (2019)… Continue reading

    Right a year later…

    Right a year later…

    … I got Covid. Again. And the “fun” part? I caught it right one year from the previous one (my first time with the virus.) I also started to suspect a pattern: It happens after big-scale meetup (Division Meetup) and I might pick it up during one of my transits or flights. I noticed the… Continue reading

    May 2017 and July 2017. We still miss you, legends

    May 2017 and July 2017. We still miss you, legends

    There are not a lot of singers who understand that it’s never about upstaging one another. Most of the time, those who understand how to elevate a song instead of competing are mostly the legends. You can hear it when Chester and Chris harmonized the chorus on timestamp 03:15. Damn. I still freaking miss them.… Continue reading

    Photo dump: Sapporo, Japan (October 2023)

    Photo dump: Sapporo, Japan (October 2023)

    Just recently, I went to Sapporo for a team meetup. As a company with distributed working/remote working Before It Was Cool™, Automattic understands the importance of meeting face-to-face. Yes, we do remote working, and yes, we also appreciate the opportunity to meet our co-workers in real life. Anyway, the trip was mostly work-related trip as… Continue reading

    Saturday pics

    We had our breakfast at Nasi Kandar Pelita (roti canai, Maggi goreng, tosai, and poori set) and took a walk on the KLCC Park while Wira and I tried our DSLR cameras after long time (he uses Nikon, I use FujiFilm.) Roti canai is quintessentially Malaysian that shows the nation’s close ties with Indian’s culture… Continue reading

    My current feel-good series

    My current feel-good series

    I’m bad in watching series. Whenever there are new popular series, my first question is: “Does it have a happy ending?” Yes, I haven’t watched “The Game of Thrones”, and never will. I also can’t watch movies with a very intensive storyline. While I enjoy thriller or detective shows, there is a specific limit on… Continue reading
