Written by Fikri RasyidRecently, between all the issues I am currently facing, I stumble upon this question: If all the issues, all the trouble, all the anxiety, all the stress, and all the problem shape me into a person that someday will be able to help my children...
By Your Side
It is quite weird that as I grow older, sleeping becomes one of frequently encountered issue I got. I used to be able to sleep very easily. Lie down, close my eyes for significant amount of seconds, then off I go to the land of dream. It's not that simple anymore....
Save One Person
I'm pretty sure it was Steve Jobs' view on perfectionism (particularly from Walter Isaacson's biography) that shaped my view on how and what should I work on. Particularly, on what should I make, share, and write. Is this the best thing that I can write? Is this great...

Fresh Breath of Air at Orchid Forest Cikole, Bandung
You can plan as long as you want but end up never executing it but you can also pops an idea and five minutes later you're actually doing it. We had a latter moment weeks ago. We had a free time, my little sister is in town (she's currently studying abroad), and we...

Stuffs that crossed my mind
New Macbook Powered by M1 Chip
I can safely say that I lean toward the fanboy side given the amount of Apple product that I use, but i was VERY skeptical about this new line of macbooks with Apple-built processor dubbed with M1 chip. However when the reviews came out with M1 performs better even...

Decade in Review: 2010 – 2019

Chinatown Bandung
I visited Chinatown Bandung on December 2018 but couldn't post these photos until today for some reasons. The reason why we visited Chinatown Bandung was simple: my in-law was in town and we wanted to take her to go somewhere new. It's been a while since we heard of...
