The Big Three O

I remember those sleepless nights When I was a little girl, still growing I especially remember those restless nights When I was a flimsy teenager with questions unanswered I remember the boastful prideful nights When arrogance took over and I think too highly of myself I remember the tearful nights When I realize that I was wrong That I am just a speck of worthless dust in this universe called the real world I remember the remorseful nights I remember the anxious nights When I just feel so lost I sometimes still have one of those nights But today That I am 30 My heart is full with gratefulness Tonight is a joyous one Because when I count all the blessing You have given me When I look around Everything I am Everything I have Comes from You, my Lord and saviour I wish I could tell my younger self That everything’s gonna be fine That You took care of me That You never forsake me That You really made my life complete In every way I can imagine

Reminiscing days of pursuing masters degree

So I'm reading my old blog posts about my days in Manchester... And for a moment there I want to go to school again as soon as possible. That feeling only lasted for a fey seconds though, because I realize PhD is far more difficult, I imagine. But yeah, I will get another degree, I have to. Because I'm building a career in academics. Dosens these days have to have doctoral degree. But I'm not gonna do it in near future because: 1. My husband plans to continue his studies next year, someone has got to stay as breadwinner. 2. My husband should do his studies before me because he is older and so I can use him as an excuse to delay my doctoral plan. 3. I think it would be more convenient to continue my study when the kids are bigger. Big enough to make their own Indomie, maybe? At least big enough to shower and poop without needing help... My eldest is now 3 years old and the younger one is still in my tummy! Pretty legit excuse to delay PhD, don't you think? ...

You know what, I blame mini blogs. Like Instagram story etc. They're so convenient it makes me forget about blog altogether in 2017. I didn't even wrote about Game of Thrones. Shame. Shame. Shame.

Concerts

I can't believe I only posted ONCE in 2016. Shame. Shame. Shame. (ringing bell behind). Anyhoo, let's bask up in memories again. This time I want to count back on how many concerts I have been to. I'm not much of a concert goers, hence the oh so many concerts missed during my study in UK. I wasn't interested in Coldplay concerts, how foolish was I. They were all over the country. All year round. Jamie Cullum didn't held any, Adele was pregnant or something when I was there, so she didn't held any either. However, I did have gone to several others during my lifetime. It's nothing impressive, really. Let's try to remember and enlist them: 1. Christmas Concert - JPCC. Just last Monday! 2. Sheila on 7 concert. My first ever concert, back in junior high school. 3. Jamie Cullum. BEST one yet. 4. Boyz II Men. Got a free ticket from a friend, this was the only one concert I attend in UK lols. (cry in despair). Whyyyy did I thought too much and missed L...

The Winds of Winter - GoT tv show, season finale

I can not contained my excitement. Literally can't. I've tweeted about the last episode. So many things happened. The greatest fantasy story I have ever enjoyed. So good. So so so good. That last few episodes covered way more than the last 2 books (I think). Ok I'll try and start reviewing my thoughts on that last episode. Maergery and House Tyrell along with the High Sparrow and everyone in the Red Keep at THAT moment when Cersei proves herself as the mad, ruthless lion. I like Maergery, but I've always known she is a supporting character. Not a major one. Why? Because she wasn't there at the beginning. She switches sides and play her part well. In the end she is but a spawn in the story, a tool to prove the frightening madness that Cersei Lannister truly is. I know House Tyrell wouldn't play that big a part in the Song of Ice and Fire. After all, House Tyrell came to power because their lord, House Flower went to the Targaryen's aid during Rob...
