Last weekend
Ari has been using bicycle to go to the train station for the past couple of weeks, so on the last weekend, he wanted to buy some cycling shorts at the Bike Artisan store at The Row, Kuala Lumpur. The store is in the same vicinity as Pulpy Garden, my usual go-to plants store, so…

Photo dump from 2025
2.5 months since the last post, and here I am. Not a lot of things going on, though. For my birthday, I got myself some plants: Two pots of flowers and a bayleaf plant. Bayleaf is pretty important in Indonesian-Malaysian cuisine, hence the plant because I want to ensure a fresh supply, hahah. (BTW, I’m…

September in pictures
I wrote about Restoran Rose back in 2019 here. They now have moved locations, and the new restaurant is located right in front of the previous one.

We just got a brand new Discman
My eldest, Wira, has been fascinated by the technology from the 80s and the 90s since years ago. I’m not sure how it was started, but I remember it was one fine afternoon during the global lockdown when he asked, “can we trade our TV?” I looked at our flat-screen LCD TV, perched proudly on…

Little Blob update and dietitian visit
I once saw someone, an Indonesian, wrote on Threads: “It always feels easier to journal things in English as it’s not our primary language, and it makes us detached from our feelings,” and it stuck with me ever since. Perhaps that’s the reason why I have been feeling so frustrated with my blog (for the…

A note
I just remembered I haven’t blogged anything about this. Not exactly forgotten about this, but I have been ruminating whether I should write about this or not because I don’t think I should as I don’t think I deserve anything about it, even the grief, and it has been going on for weeks and I…
