Hi, readers! It's me, Arty.


For this website that should be my portfolio, something that should be neatly curated and polished, I don't think it is appropriate to put an abstract, coarse writing. Like, as unintellectual as out of the back of your notebook of the most boring lesson at the last hours of Friday afternoon.


But in other hand, I have this deep buried dream since I was a kid. I clearly remember when I was waiting for an order of Nasi Goreng in a food stall, and the seller asked, "What do you think you will be in the future?" and I'm thoughtlessly, overly optimised, quickly replied, "I wanna be a writer."


"I think there are too many friends of mine want to be doctors or pilots. Writers are not much, and it is not boring," I continued.


How can I remember all of this? Well, because the seller knew the 7-years-old me too well until now that he still reminds me of that moment recently! LMAO. But yeah. This is Arty. That nonchalant and idealistic younger Arty might not be present in a full form, but I want to sow the dream again through this platform. And through this reasoning; that a portfolio should be showcasing what can you do, and how do you differ in taste than the other people. It's personal, it cannot be googled, it portrays you.


So there you have it. I'll post some random ideas that I have, things that I'd never want to publish anywhere because I'm afraid that it will change my persona in each social media, that I cannot express much because I already had picture portrayed in people's mind.


Now I have a blank canvas after graduated from college.

I was pretty good at school and I rarely anxious on exams because I know what to do, I know what could be expected, and I just need to answer the direct question. But life recently far from that. It's like flipping a new page, you arrived at the net chapter, and after expecting a bunch of words like this one, you found a blank instead. I expect to found a blatant questions to answer but now I have to look for the question first [or is it?]. Or write it. Later I know that even without written questions, getting life together is the exam alright. One wise way is to enjoy it and laugh about it, but keep going on. Just keep swimming~


Decided to not be overwhelmed by the job-seeking and related stuff, I feel this is the perfect time to recalibrate my life and take practice of what Marie Kondo says. Well, lol, I didn't read her book yet, but basically getting things together after all of the mess I had. Like arranging things I've been working on.
