Bismillah, Wow this blog has been gathering dust (and eating domain plus hosting fee) without me even bothered to write anything here. Hmm. To be honest, I have been feeling a little bit down lately. With life, with work, with the balance. Even the thoughts of traveling is not that exciting anymore. I don’t know…
I always identify myself as Indonesian whenever I introduce myself to my colleagues or new friends here. I never hesitate to tell them what Indonesia is famous for or what should they do when they visit the archipelago. I will tell them proudly that I am wearing batik on October 2nd because it’s a National…

Bismillah, Few months ago, I opened my Facebook and found this post Ok – granted that this post is 4 months old, but oh wow, it has been twenty years?! How crazy time flies!
