19 years old.

Owl City, 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs kinda shit.

The Dark Knight is THE comic book movie, we all thought all comic book movies would hit that level.

MCU wasn't even a thing, we just got Tony's cameo on Hulk and Scarlett Johansson - 26 years old Scarlett Johansson - just started her first year as Black Widow. 

Used to listen to White Shoes and Couples Company a lot, still listen to it, but not as much.

Just found out NPR Tiny Desk is fucking old, so old their videos only got 480p, the video above is one of their oldest, that video also happens to feature one of my favorite band from that time, and I mean favorite, I play that shit on fucking repeat using my iPod Nano

I used to drove my parent's CR-V at that time, which happened to have a cutting-edge head unit with a built-in iPod connector, shit was fancy.

Bruno Mars just debuted, Doo-Wops & Hooligans also played in on repeat.

Glee was the hottest shit if I remember it correctly.

256MB Flashdisk was the shit, 100GB external harddisk is fancy, windows is vista.

Spain was crowned as the world champions, Liverpool was shit, Torres left for Chelsea by January 2011.

1st year of being single, yeah, as someone who claims "I don't really care about relationship" I am really petty about how long I've been single.

Where does the time go? or where did the time go? fucking grammar man.

I am currently 29 years, 8 months, 1 day, 6 hours, and 36 minutes

Most of my friends are married, some already divorced, a few lost their child, one has passed away few days after her university graduation, and here I am creating a list about which Gundam Astray I'd get first, hint: Red Frame Kai

We had 3 Bruce Wayne, started the 2010s with Christian Bale, end it with Rob Pattinson, also if I go back in time and tell the people Edward Cullen will be Bruce Wayne, they'd stone me to death.

Why post this? Don't know, just got nostalgic all of sudden, I think hitting another mileage - 30 years of age in few months - just increase my nostalgic mood. It was 3 homes ago.

I'll probably hit 30 still in the middle of the pandemic - Thanks Jokowi - and celebrate it via google meets like last year.

udah lah, 7 jam dari sekarang udah harus kerja lagi

 

2018

 so just spent the whole May-June without any post

Here it goes

I fucking miss 2018, and it's already 3 fucking years ago I went to Phuket and got drunk as fuck in front of a kebab shop, well, it's almost 3 years ago, got drunk on July 16th, spent the whole 17th hungover, spent the whole 18th hyped because of World Cup final.

I was 27, it felt like I get new experiences almost on a daily basis.

I got double warning letter due to some mistakes, it felt so bad back then, but 3 years later, I know how to work under immense stress

Or probably I know most mistake wouldn't really affect your company, the company still exist today

I guess I miss the mundane things

I miss waking up at 730, took a quick bath, wear that same t-shirt - jeans combo, black sneakers, red backpack - sometimes no backpack - bomber jacket, earphone, helmet, red CBR150R, enjoying the commute, enjoying the back roads of Jakarta, enjoying riding my bike. 

I miss arriving at the office, having a chat, bought a breakfast with others, talking about stupid shit.

I miss brainstorming, I miss working at the office, I miss the routine.

But I really miss the music Friday - speaker on for the whole day, you can request song via Skype. 

I really miss the talk while having lunch, going to lunch together, I miss our after office talk, playing fifa with ea h other.

I fucking miss 2018 man

But time goes on, we have to take care of ourselves financially, and of course our career, so I have to move. 

But that was the best of times and worst of times, wouldn't change it for anything, would gladly relive it. 

elah biji kadut

 It's 2021, already at the end of April, where did the days go? It's already Thursday, then Friday, it's payday.

I think we all can agree that 2020 was a blur, it was very long and very short at the same time.

In February 2020 we watched Parasite won Oscars, I watched Birds of Prey in the theater, then suddenly we all working from home.

The last Ramadhan I experienced at work, with other people, normal Ramadhan, was in 2019, 2 jobs ago.

I still had my Super Saiyan hair back then.

Listening to my Spotify top 2020 playlist just brings memories from my previous house, even then it's a blur, everything is a blur, I woke up at 915, daily morning call 930, working either in the dining room or guest room, with Bryan lazying around.

But listening to my top 2019 is a memory of normal life, a life where I woke up at 8, took a quick bath, went to work either by ordering GoJek to Lebak Bulus MRT station for 40 minutes trip or riding my beloved racing red CBR150R for 20 minutes trip. Or even the first half of 2019 where I handled that cursed yellow brand campaign for 6 months.

2019 feels long because even though most days were insignificant, more things happened, while 2020 was just there, I raise a motion to just delete 2020, reduce my age by 1 year.

my point is, the vaccine is available, but somehow it's a shitshow.

I'll be on the 4th phase anyway, so normal live resumes for me on 2022 probably
