A friend commented on my previous blog post about Venice, said the content was a bit ‘floating’ and didn’t have a call-to-action. I agree and feel so lucky that he told me early on, hence this post about shopping rules for conscious spenders who love fashion is up! The incident reminds me that the purpose of creating this blog is to share something meaningful. It’s not a place to just showcase my travel photos in a bigger size than a Facebook page or let the world knows how my daily life goes on. For this, I apologise if you feel disappointed with the last post. I have to admit, for…

This is the City Where You Should Dress to Kill
When was the last time you dress up when traveling? If you think it’s not important, you should really dress to kill if you plan to visit this city. When it comes to travel, I’ll make sure that I make the most of my time when I’m in a new place because I don’t know if I can afford a second visit. Be it try as many as local cuisine, take lots of photos, tick off all must-visit spots, make new friends with the locals, or get lost. I’ll also make sure that I wear comfortable shoes to help me walk all day, from morning till night. I mean it.…

It’s a condition when you experience both sarcopenia (low muscle mass/strength/physical performance) and…

Why You Need to Own a Filtered Water Bottle
I travel often and sometimes to countries where I can’t safely drink tap water. One day, I found out about filtered water bottles and how they helped me save a lot of money when travelling. It all started when I moved from Indonesia to Malaysia. The first few months after I moved from Indonesia to Malaysia, I could feel the pinch every time I spent money because of the currency rate. At that time, RM1 is equivalent to Rp3.000,00 (3x rupiah). Even mineral water was considered pricey to me. Now I’m working and earning my own money, I’m still facing the same issue whenever I travel to countries with stronger…

My Delayed Baggage Makes Me Realise the Ultimate Thing That Gives Me Confidence
Recently I watched A Star Is Born and boy – it’s been a long time since I watched such a beautiful movie! The story, soundtrack and actors are just wonderful and touching. Don’t worry, this blog post is about my experience with delayed baggage and how it shaped my confidence, just like the title 😉 Lady Gaga is so charming in her natural look, a contrast to her theatrical makeup in the “Bad Romance” era. It doesn’t mean I don’t love her antique persona, she just looks so different in the movie. Still going gaga over A Star Is Born, I googled news about it and found out that she…
