coriander in pho

My son, a teen, has been doing the “night-time tidying up” task; that is, tidying up, cleaning up, fluffing the pillow, all those stuffs, in the night time before bedtime.

Back in February, I did something.

A month too late, but I just stumbled upon IKEA France’s Tiktok video, hinting a possible collab with Animal Crossing.

My jaw dropped when I saw this website: https://moonlit.exposed/ UM.

A study published in 2018 tracked how much coffee people aged 18 to 24 drank in the course of a week and compared it to their cholesterol levels.

Now that we can exclude terms on Query Loop Block, I feel it’s a high time to ease out from social media.

I’m not sure when this “issue” started, because I know WordPress 6.9, the latest major version, was released back in December 2025, I spent quite some time in January (?

For some reasons, my island has a lot of smug villagers: Marshall, Raymond, Chops, and Lionel.

This year’s February is a funky month — or as Malaysian netizens said, “the Truly Malaysia month this year ma.”

I have been feeling quite horrible for the past two weeks, and no matter what I did — full-body spa, massage, vitamin supplements — things didn’t improve much.

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.

Eyyy, 2 days of not blogging because I got immersed in ACNH ver. 3.0, ahah.

Before I start, let me preface this post by saying that THIS IS NOT AN AD/PAID POST.

I have been on the “Coroner’s Diary” marathon watch for the past 2 weeks, so I’m sharing with you some of the shots from this beautiful series (think… murder mysteries/procedural series meet palace dramas) along with my babble on why C-drama is that siste…

Last night, I merged the posts from my personal photoblog to this blog.

2.5 months since the last post, and here I am.

I started food logging this month, so I actually have gazillions of food pics.

Yeah, I know the title (and the topic) can be off-putting for some folks.

I wrote about Restoran Rose back in 2019 here.

I’m not sure if this is some kind of trend, but I have been noticing an increase in video clips, usually on Tiktok, from TV series.

Last year, I set up a watering system in my balcony area for my plants.

As usual, I blogwalked and found Nick’s post: My favorite albums of all time, and it reminded me of mine.

Source Translation: “Did you ever wonder why there is a stereotype that we, Indonesians, are always the one that supposed to “bow down” to foreigners, especially the English-speaking ones?

I was checking my blog when I remembered I tried my hand at writing in the Indonesian language once recently — and quickly decided to revert to English.

Sherlock Holmes was my entry point into the murder mystery genre, then kids-friendly-sans-murder mysteries such as Enid Blyton’s “The Famous Five”, Robert Arthur Jr.’s “Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators”, and Stefan Wolf/Rolf Kalmuczak‘s “TTKG”.

I was on a blogwalk when I saw James’ post: August 2025 in Photos and you can rest assured that I’m berating myself for not thinking about it and got myself in my usual what-should-I-blog limbo.

“What a pity that I am not an honest man!

Apparently, it was only for eight weeks.

My eldest, Wira, has been fascinated by the technology from the 80s and the 90s since years ago.

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.

It was last week, when my precise-as-clockwork period schedule suddenly missed for four days.

I just remembered I haven’t blogged anything about this.

I mentioned here that one of the things I wanted to do, and passed, is learning how to drive.

Yesterday, during lunchtime, I got a phone call from a person saying they were a third-party appointed by Maybank.

For the past week, I have been preparing lunchboxes for my husband and kids.

… Aaaand she’s back.

Akhir-akhir ini, selera saya sedang bergeser ke murder mystery.

My birthday already passed (December), but I just got my motivation and willingness to blog now.

KL has been getting cooler recently, and I have enjoyed nice breeze as I opened my balcony door and let the air flows through.
