Summer Break in Indonesia

I don’t know how to express how I feel without having to sound like a snob, but after being back in Indonesia for 5 days, I do miss my life in Switzerland. Weird, huh? And yet when I’m there, I miss my hometown. I guess what I really miss from Indonesia are simply the people; my family and friends. I can’t deny that I have adapted to the Swiss lifestyle quite well and I like it. I like how simple life is. Simple but meaningful. S and I often talk about how we miss having Gojek and Gofood, and yet here I was browsing Gofood for 20 minutes, just kept scrolling and scrolling and decided to order..nothing. All my mind could think of was, “is there anything healthy here?”. All these trendy food, they look glorious and delicious but I guess my priorities are just different now. I now enjoy going to the supermarket picking up a fresh bowl of salad, buying warm croissant for the kids, and that’s what we practically mainly eat everyday. Simple, straightforward, just easy and light. I love just putting on my shoes and hop on a bus because bus schedules are so precise, without having to order Grab or taxi and wait until they arrive and seek the fastest route via Waze. All these apps, these trends, I find them exhausting, but of course the need is different for each country. It’s 2 am and I can’t sleep just thinking about how one can change and come back to their own hometown feeling completely different. It’s a strange feeling. Maybe it’s just a phase, of myself settling down, a short culture shock. Nevertheless, grateful to be around my family and friends once again.

HHHH EEEE LLLL OOOO

Oh wow, like OMG, it's been sooooo long since I actually wrote anything in this blog. Whattt? I keep beating my own record now. Sigh. So what happened? Well, I was definitely caught up with school, but in a good way. I was working on some projects that got me really excited I was just so focused on them. I have even been posting less on Instagram. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH ME.

I also feel a bit different now. Like a new me is emerging, slowly. I have been thinking more about my presence, my actions, my works, how they contribute to this world, to the environment. I keep thinking about what impact am I bringing because I want my life to be meaningful. I no longer want to work on things that only revolves around making money and profit. And I am caring less about the many people I used to admire so much. I am starting to realize that a lot of them are just simply after the money and that does not feel inspiring and not what I aspire to be in this life.

Anyway, it's nice to write again. Love you! :)
