Age

Continuing from yesterday's post, you know I find something funny in this year's Lebaran holiday haha. 

Okay so before the holiday I actually came up with a list of movies to watch on Netflix and Mola. I was planning to stay up late to catch them during the holiday. But guess what, I spent the first three nights of the holiday actually sleeping earlier! Okay well not exactly intentionally but more of falling asleep. Like when I returned to my room I did tell myself that "okay lets go watch a movie" but I ended up sleeping.

On the other hand, this is probably the first time in a month that I get to experience 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep! It was bliss. I did wake up like once but that's just to use the toilet. To use the toilet and to also decide that I want to go back to sleep again haha. And yup I ended up sleeping for 7-8 hours. There was once (I think it was on Tuesday/Wednesday) where I slept from 3 AM to 11 AM!

Well yeah I haven't been sleeping well the past one month. Part of it is probably a curse that I get where I usually experience insomnia every May. I don't know why heh. But yeah it seems like age is catching up on me. I've been making decisions that benefit my body. And I no longer act recklessly and pretend that I'm "young" and "free" haha. Perhaps I should continue doing this.

Part of me still deny myself, thinking that I'm still that "young" Adhi that enjoys and love to "rebel" against my sleep to do other things. I mean okay I'm still young, but yeah age is catching up on me.

Alright continuing about travel on another post.

Selamat Hari Raya Idul FItri 1442H!

Hello hello, look who's back after one month hahaha. Yes it's been a long time, but here I am anyway! It's the 2nd day of Lebaran here so here's me wishing all Muslims around the world Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1442H! Eid Mubarak everyone, I hope everyone had a great 2 first two days of Syawal.

Anyway yes here I am, it's been so long since I've blogged. So many things happened in the 2nd half of April. Thus I haven't been able to blog. Pretty busy with so many things so yeah. Currently enjoying my 4th day of the Lebaran holiday now. A pretty welcomed break indeed. I always wish this break would never end but well life goes on right. I guess I will just enjoy the holiday as much as I can :)

Favourite thing about the Lebaran holiday is definitely the art of doing nothing haha. Prior to the holiday I've always been preoccupied with a lot of things. So it feels pretty good to -do nothing-. I wish I can -think nothing- too but that's kinda impossible eh haha. You know things like spending the afternoon laying on bed listening to music, basking in the afternoon heat and just chilling out. 

I can't do this on normal days!

Coupled with the silence surrounding me, everything feels so peaceful and lovely. Especially yesterday. The first day of Syawal (AKA first day of Eid) is probably the quietest day of the year for us. It's just so quiet, perhaps everyone is tired from Takbiran and visiting relatives and friends (even though this year it's kinda prohibited). So the night is pretty quiet. Even my worker says it's so quiet at night. There's no cars heard passing through for a long period of time. When usually the street is busy.

I think we can all agree that the past two years, Ramadhan and Eid felt pretty off thanks to the pandemic. Well I just really hope that everything can go back to the way it once used to be next year. The world has suffered a lot in the past one and a half years. I hope we can all go back to normal. But then again, sometimes "normal" is what we shouldn't go back to. I hope we can "return" to a better world we can all live in. Cause this pandemic has exposed many flaws that we all have.

Alright I guess that's all from me today. As usual I wish I can blog more during the holiday. But whenever I say this, it never happens haha. I'll come back to write soon. I hope! :P
