  • New project: Impromptu Journal

    Several months ago, I mused the idea of having a blog/website where I collect and publish Q&A with my friends on many things. Some people say it’s “curiosity”; some Indonesians, Malaysians, and Singaporeans will call it “kay-poh.” Nevertheless, I am (hashtag) blessed with a circle of friends who are always ready and kindly answer my questions, from “How did you make your own noodles?” to “What made you pursue yoga professionally?”

    It was like… 2-3 days ago I mentioned the idea again on my Kakao Story, and my friends responded enthusiastically, “DO IT!” I guess they are okay with me pinging and sending them emails with half a billion questions.

    That said, please welcome Impromptu Journal.

    “But you rarely blog, and now you are doing this project–” Yeah yeah, shut up ?

    I’m planning to do this Sunday biweekly. I also plan to work on my habits. Biweekly for Impromptu Journal and biweekly for drawings (this blog.)

    That said, I always want to have that kind of “serious website/blog”, you know? And I feel that I now have something to aim for, and it makes me excited.

  • Morning deliveries

    One of my favorite things is seeing people preparing for their day at work. Wiping the windows, sweeping the floors, and receiving deliveries.

    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 take a bite from his.

    Except for donuts.

    So two donuts with a candle on them is a perfection for me ❤️

    Here’s for more awesome years to come, for more happiness. And please no Covid what the heck two Covids for the past two years.

    Update: If you think I’m not going to flood this post with Animal Crossing screengrabs, you are wrong.

    I’m seriously happy we have Stitch, Filbert, and Ray-freaking-Mond at the party. These three are my favorite villagers.

    AND LOOK! BREWSTER SAID HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY!

    Also, serenaded by K.K., as usual…

    And I wholeheartedly agree with Raymond. I get cooler, wiser, and “more collectible”. LIMITED EDITION.

    I honestly thought that as I grow older, I will be more… Cynical about birthdays. I remember I was so emo about the whole thing when I was in university years, but then, I guess as you become older, you start to apply that c’est la vie-mindset, and just… YOLO, you know? To respect the time you had and will have, your experiences and adventures, and all the tears and smiles.

    To respect yourself.

    OK, Nintendo, can we change the “cake”-part to donut, please?

    The Doctor:
    “Who’s she?”

    Kazran Sardick:
    “Nobody important.”

    The Doctor:
    “Nobody important?

    Blimey, that’s amazing.

    You know, nine hundred years of time and space and I’ve never met anybody who wasn’t important before.”

Nindya’s quick blurbs

  • A month too late, but I just stumbled upon IKEA France’s Tiktok video, hinting a possible collab with Animal Crossing. Unfortunately, no further information about this other than IGN picked up this news when the video was posted.
