Look and sound glamorous, and perhaps it is. Time zone weirdness, post-pandemic travel stress, don’t get me started with visa application process, and new things you see as you go.

(Another) Langkawi Trip, Malaysia Day
Malaysia Day’s vacation trip to Langkawi; a small island in the northern part of Malaysia, freshly out from a curse that spanned seven generations (trust me, I read Wikipedia.) Also, eagle feeding is super cool.

Madrid, Spain (July 18 – 24, 2022)
Proof that my jetlag is jetlag-ing. I typed “Spain, Madrid” on the title. Rest assured, it has been fixed. I just came back, still freshly exhausted from a team meetup in Langkawi when the leads group went, “LET’S GO FOR TEAM LEADS MEETUP!” I love traveling and meeting my friends. I really do. However, the…

Indonesia Trip (December 2019)
Back in December, we decided to have a week-long trip to Indonesia, specifically to Jakarta and Purwokerto (my, hm, I want to say it as ‘hometown’, but it’s not exactly my hometown.

Crafting Artistry: A Journey Along the Maritime Silk and Spice Road
Last week, I scrolled my Instagram timeline when I saw Galeri Petronas’ (Petronas Gallery) post about their recent exhibition. The infamous Silk & Spice Road is one of the topics that I really really like; it’s really cool to see how trades and exploration gave birth to new cultures, culinary, religions, lifestyles, and technology advancements.…

Rembrandt and The Rijksmuseum
During my short transit in Amsterdam last week, I got this wonderful opportunity to visit the Rijksmuseum @ Schiphol Airport. I really love the idea of bringing museums, galleries, and educational centers on other public spaces such as airports. It gives opportunity for travelers, visiting a country on such short time (during transit, for example,)…

Grand Meetup 2019: Orlando, Florida
And when you finally finally meet the awesome people. When folks found out last week’s GM was my first GM, they usually ask, “so how is it so far? The GM?” “Overwhelmed — in both nuances. Before, it was only you, your laptop, and an external monitor. Next thing you know, on the GM, humans.…

Hong Kong, July 2019
So… I noticed some folks from my workplace are following this blog. It’s not a bad thing, though. It’s just that I will use English moving forward so this blog can reach more audience with one universal language. I might put some Indonesian words here and there or write stuffs in Indonesian, but I’d figured…

Akhir Pekan di Johor
Dalam rangka ulang tahunnya Wira yang ke-7, kami jalan-jalan ke Legoland, Johor. Nggak banyak foto yang diambil soalnya lupa beli memory card yang ukurannya lebih gede dari 32 GB, hahaha. Menyempatkan makan makanan laut di Selera Senibong Seafood, Johor Bahru. Ini semacam area restoran-restoran pinggir laut — dibilang “laut” juga bukan; tapi tepatnya selat mungkin…
