And indeed, it feels, it hits the same. Every time someone faces a thing called “see you again…”, there is always a little melancholia behind every smile. And somehow, when you do try to fake a smile, it feels broken inside.

It’s me, hi! writing this short note just a few hours before I fly again to another part of the globe.
Yes, I have just a few hours left to complete the sixty days I have this year for my annual leave. This time around, there was nothing like flying to another country for vacation, yet I did go to some places in the country. And I was totally fine! I used to think for a week in Kyoto, or even Marrakech. The best part of the short vacation was spending it with my family and it was to Lombok (my first time there, and I loved it, will post it in a separate post!). Postponing again for my own-house renovation because my mom said, “Do mine first” and I said, “Okay” (truly, I won’t blame you for rolling your eyes every time I write “my own house” because yes, a few years doing nothing and now it’s postponed again). I did manage to visit my house a few days ago, and every time I am standing in front of it I am always laughing. It is too bad ignoring it for years but well, let’s see if the fortunes are on my side very soon :) Eating quite a lot of Indonesian food, even though everyone says that I am getting bigger and chubbier (hey, somehow calling someone fat is really annoying lol! so be thoughtful a bit!). I haven’t survived the great war (read: Eras Tour), and it felt sucky even though 1989 TV is on its way, so I hope I can listen to some bops from the vault and feel better. Spending time with my closest friends was amazing this year, I always left with big smiles cause we really did manage to look for proper times to meet, and in the end, everything went well. I will try to write many posts again in this blog when I settle back to a real-life among crazy things in the job, upcoming projects, following up with my mom’s renovation remotely, and dramas on Netflix that I ignored since I landed in Indonesia that is going to rob my time, daily routine (I’ll miss grabbing hot cappuccino from local coffee shops!), many more things ahead! So I can still have that “balance” in life by writing down all my memories so that someday when I reread them, I can keep smiling that I have lived my life.
I can only say A TON OF THANKS from the bottom of my heart for those close and good friends I spent time with this year, because I do realise that the distance between us when we get older is one of those that can end our friendship, so I THANK YOU!
I’m logging off again for a very short time, and hey, on my last day here, I woke up from a dream (that seemed so real omg) when I told one of my best friends, Knogler Andreas, who is currently in Kazakhstan, that I didn’t realise I was in Germany, and later I saw my Schengen visa. Damn, what a ridiculous yet sweet dream. Perhaps that was one sign I would see him sooner in Europe. Ich drücke dir die Daumen! Dear me :)
