A really simple Inktober today; from an encounter I had years ago.
Kuala Lumpur is a metropolitan city — it’s the capital city of Malaysia, anyway; but within this urban jungle, you can find wild monkeys ?
Nearby my old apartment building, there was this building — used to be an embassy — and it housed this huge huge huge private garden with impressive trees and greeneries. The whole building and garden were surrounded with white tall imposing gates and walls.
But once in a while, some little fellas popped out with some of their younglings.

I know this is 80% of my anxiety and overthinking talking, and most folks won’t care anyway, but I’m concerned on how my blog looks (hah!)
Naturally, as Inktober is going on right now, I post sketches and drawings almost on daily basis. And I don’t feel things look… Pretty. You know, that kind of oh-so-awesum-so-professional-much-wow look. Mostly because I take pictures of my sketches with the whole book and the background (it’s my IKEA Poang chair — it’s the only representable stuff I have on this house YES IT’S A CHAOS OUT THERE, FOLKS.)
ANYWAY. I wanted to check if I can have better look by using Google PhotoScan. I might use this in the future, though. Or maybe taking picture with regular camera and crop/edit it would suffice?


Now I’m going to retreat to my lair and questioning myself and my life decisions for the next 10 years.

I didn’t post any drawing yesterday because I got massive headache (lack of sleep, I guess. That, or too much coffee) so I decided to take a break.
Anyway! So! I got stuck on what to draw, and the prompts didn’t help either. I have this black Chinese ink and I wondered, “hmmmm, ink. Inktober? Heheheheheeheheheh.”
To be honest, I’m terrified of using ink. Ink is unpredictable and prone to errors, and me, I’m a control freak; that’s why I like drawing pens. It’s precise, controllable, and as-it-is. Having unneeded random factor will send me spiraling down to vortex of stress.
But anyway, I tried.
And I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it.
Next project: Intermediate Theme Developer
I want to develop themes that sing praises for the 2000s. I always feel we could have a bit more 2000s-era whimsy.
Nindya. Kapkap. she/her. Indonesian in Malaysia. Millennial. Lo-fi. Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Murder mystery genre.

Aaaaa, thank you, Nat! Nostalgia blog dekade 2000-an 😀
This is my personal blog, so anything goes. Everything written here came from me, and is not a reflection of my family or the place where I work (although, to be fair, I’m a housewife now, so the things written here are not reflections of my throw pillows on the sofa.) While things here are generally PG-13, I must remind you that I’m an adult, which means some topics might be too heavy for younger readers.
:)))) Samaaaa. Sekarang ga pake browsernya dulu, hahah
