    Life update and Bandung trip

    Life update and Bandung trip

    It has been, like… 3 weeks (?) after my last post of having hospitalized due to an accident, and I can say that I’m recovering. I’m pretty happy with the progress, although I must admit there are some aspects that I have strong opinions on. First is the cane. The walking cane. Or stick. Whatever.… Continue reading

    Indonesian Embassy Kuala Lumpur: Passport renewal

    Indonesian Embassy Kuala Lumpur: Passport renewal

    When half of Southeast Asia had ticket wars for Coldplay and Taylor Swift, I had a different type of “ticket war”: Passport renewal registration. My passport is due to renew on September-October, but since I have to go for a couple of work trips during those months, I reached out to the Embassy to check… Continue reading

    Visiting Indonesia/Malaysia during Ramadan?

    Visiting Indonesia/Malaysia during Ramadan?

    At this point, many more people are more aware of Ramadan and what it entails; no eating and no drinking from sunrise to sunset. The problem is that not everyone knows Ramadan’s massive effect on Muslim-majority countries, such as Malaysia or Indonesia. The latter is mainly on the island of Java. This post is prompted… Continue reading

    Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Temple, Bali

    Watching this IRL has been one of my bucket lists. As of now, Youtube should suffice. Kecak dance is telling a story of Ramayana ballad — a story about a prince (Lord Rama) with his wife, Sita (in Indonesia, we named her “Shinta”) and their battle against evil force: Ravana. The story opens with kecak… Continue reading

    Indonesia Trip (December 2019)

    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. I was born and raised in Cilacap, Central Java — and my parents moved to Purwokerto back in 2005 when my dad retired.)… Continue reading

    Saturday Breakfast: Restaurant ‘ROSE’, Kuala Lumpur

    Saturday Breakfast: Restaurant ‘ROSE’, Kuala Lumpur

    Weekend usually means super unhealthy breakfast; filled with carbs, sodium, and almost everything your brain craves. The word ‘Restoran’ is Indonesian/Malaysian’s adaptation from “restaurant”. The plaque ‘Food Trails’ from Kuala Lumpur Townhall hung proudly, as a proof the restaurant joined the local government’s effort of introducing the city’s historical and foodie side. This restaurant provides… Continue reading

    Bulan Mei

    Ada yang inget tragedi Mei 1998? Atau mungkin cuma denger aja tapi ga tau apapun soal tragedi itu? Gw keinget waktu Mei 1998 itu gw masih kelas 2 SMP. Ingatannya berbekas betul gara-gara temen gw yang namanya Anto. Jadi pada satu hari, anak-anak cowok sekelas itu pada main bola di dalam kelas. “Bola”nya dibuat dari… Continue reading
