Eyes tight shut.
Woke up with blurred vision and half eye closed.
She said she doesn’t know where she’s going.
I said, don’t we all?

Catching Up with K-pop
Though my playlist is filled with children and punk songs, I’m still listening to K-Pop :)) Just to, you know, catch up.
K-Pop used to be so creative and its music videos were so eye-candy. But recently, I can’t find it anymore. I love how Min Hee Jin directed New Jeans. I like how they sound, how they look, their merchandise, everything. But yeah sometimes, you cannot mix the creative position with the leadership position.
So, this is me, randomly dropping songs I’ve watched recently.

Setahun ke belakang, aku lagi seneng-senengnya meronce. Niatnya memang supaya nggak stress pas abis lahiran anak kedua. Ketika banyak membaca buku udah nggak mempan untuk menangkal stress, biasanya aku memang cari hal lain untuk dicoba. Sesuatu yang bikin otak kanan atau otak kiri bergerak, sesuatu yang bisa menuangkan rasa, atau menyalurkan emosi. Pertamanya cuma nyobain beli Beads Kit kecil buat bikin kalung atau gelang, tapi sekarang lagi sering bikin strap HP. Dipake nggak hasilnya? Nggak juga, sih. Hehe.
I Have a Question About Books
Ever since I was little, I grew up with books. It’s something unavoidable, since my dad was a college lecturer. There are always tons of books everywhere. Most of the books are technical and lecture books, but I’ve been living under it. Read some and loathe some.
Legend says I’ve read books since I cannot read. My parents told me that I used to shout out the content of the entire book when I was 2 or 3. Doraemon is walking, Doraemon eats cake, Doraemon meets Nobita.
I used to think that it was a joke until my daughter started doing the same thing. She is reading the book to me (or to herself) by the age of 1.5 years. She just blurted out the entire book, using the who and what method that I used to do. Tayo is smiling, Tayo meets the passengers, Tayo goes home. It’s amazing to experience it myself.
Read moreA Series of Blurted Words and Random Things
I’d like to think that Ramadan is like a new year. You can always challenge yourself to a new habit (or habits) with an extra boost of hyperfocus. In January, I’ve always been entertained by a set of friends who try to challenge themselves on #30HariBercerita. Sometimes, I wonder why there are no similar things in February or March. So, this is me, writing again. Hopefully every day, or maybe just some days? In English or Bahasa Indonesia, about things that have been living in my head.
I miss that, the spontaneous writings, those without the need to fact-check or quote scientific journals. I don’t know if it will be relevant anymore with my age or the world, but here it is: a series of paragraphs with broken grammars or unnecessary thought processes. This is me, leaving footprints in this big world of noise.
