Why The University of Sydney?

Tahun ini gw memutuskan untuk melanjutkan kuliah ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi. Sebetulnya keinginan untuk kuliah lagi sudah ada sejak tahun 2014-2015, tapi waktu itu masih belum yakin whether karir gw saat itu is the one that I wanted to do for life. Anyway, I'll save that story for another post, and in the meantime, I'll share some of my reasoning why I chose to continue my postgraduate...

Kembali

Halo! Aneh juga rasanya buka blog kembali. Baru sadar terakhir kali gw update blog ini akhir 2017. It's been 4 years since. Lama. Banget. Dan in-between, banyak sekali kejadian-kejadian seru yang harusnya gw abadikan dalam bentuk tulisan, because 'why not?'Kenapa tetiba gw kembali ke blog ini? Kira-kira sebulan yang lalu gw menemukan blog gw yg lama di Wordpress, simply karena googling nama gw....

Boxing Day 2017 Report and Tips

This year is the first time I actually spent the time at the shopping centre hunting down some great bargains. In the previous years I'd rather stay at home and do it online. Less hassle, no queuing, no sore feet, only sore index finger from all the clicking! Well, I still did some online boxing day sales which started on Christmas eve, but they were mostly for bulky items and items that I don't...

How I Used To Write Random Stuff

Photo by STIL on Unsplash This is my first post after a very long hiatus from blogging. Kids are hard work and they just won't let you go to have your own quiet time. Well, I've only got one kid now but, believe me, he sticks like a stamp on an envelope. The (not-so) good news is that I've been told by fellow mummy friends that this is going to continue at least until he's 5. Yes,...

Disconnecting

Photo by freestocks.org on Unsplash There was a time where I had several social media accounts and I was overwhelmed by them. Which account should I update?! Because ideally I'd want to update everything at once. And that's also around the time when all of the social media platform finally introduced 'linked accounts' and there were also third party apps that will help you update...

Halal Poultry!

Photo by Michał Grosicki on Unsplash Saya ngerti banget susahnya jadi Muslim pendatang yang nggak tahu apa-apa, jadi kali ini mau sharing tentang daging halal di Australia. Sekalian, karena beberapa waktu yang lalu barusan nanya ke teman tentang daging ayam, bebek, dan ayam kalkun setelah mendapati Bebek Peking kesukaan saya dengan merek Luv-A-Duck tumben-tumbenan tidak ada sertifikasi...

Classic Waffles

Oh, apologies everyone. This must be one of my worst photos ever. It was taken with my phone and my phone hasn't got the best quality because I suppressed the size for it to hold more photos of my son. Yes, that's a mommy's life. Anyway, next time I will try to take photos with a proper camera. One reason to get my Lumix GX7 out of the dusty cupboard. After a hectic week of work, usually on the...

My Bad Sleeper

Can't believe my little Omar is almost 6 months old. I am so proud that my "bad sleeper" can now sleep by himself with little help. Well, sometimes he still nurse to sleep though but the other day I was ignoring him (busy with my phone - don't follow me🙈), our backs were facing each other, he didn't cry and made little-to-no noise. When my sister came into the room, she said that Omar was already...

12 Hours of Labour

Hello world! After over 6 months of blogging hiatus, I'm finally publishing again. It will be on and off since juggling housework and the little one is very overwhelming. So, after waiting for 9 months, more or less, finally my "little king" arrived in this world. We used to call him "little king" because he always gets away with what he wants. If he wants milk now, I have to give it to him NOW....

4 Alasan Garuda Indonesia Maskapai Terbaik Untuk Flight Sydney-Jakarta

Sebagai residen tetap Australia, tentunya saya selalu kangen kampung halaman dan sebisa mungkin sering pulang ke Jakarta (finance permitting, hehehe). Ada tiga airlines yang bisa saya pilih untuk pulang ke Indonesia, yaitu Singapore Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, dan Qantas. Di antara ketiga pilihan tersebut, pilihan pertama saya adalah Garuda Indonesia. Di postingan kali ini, saya ingin mem-point out...
