[learning from TV #01] I Live Alone - Henry

Hello world!

Beberapa hari lalu saya nonton 나 혼자 산다 (I Live Alone), reality show Korea yang memperlihatkan kehidupan artis-artis yang sudah lama tinggal sendiri. Di episode itu diperlihatkan keseharian Henry Lau saat off day. Seperti biasa, Henry itu selalu seru untuk ditonton. Satu detik dia membersihkan rumah naik hoverboard dan vacuum cleaner di satu tangan plus pel tisu cap Daiso di tangan lain. Detik berikutnya, dia mempertunjukkan kebolehannya bermusik: dia spontan mengaransemen Uptown Funk jadi berbau jazz, lalu menambahkan iringan piano, biola, plus suara-suara yang ia buat sendiri dengan layered trap(?).

Tapi bukan itu yang mau saya eksplor di pos ini.

Di tengah episode, Henry menyebut bahwa ia sudah punya semua yang ia inginkan di rumahnya, tinggal kurang istri. Ucapannya ini membuat kaget panelis yang lain karena Henry masih 29 tahun, umur yang kalau buat orang Korea masih cukup muda untuk menikah (apalagi kalau artis). Jun Hyunmoo lalu bertanya mengenai tipe idealnya. Jawaban Henry inilah yang begitu membekas di benak saya.

Hello!

Hello world!

Uh oh, I have never posted anything since the year turned into 2016...

I met one of my favorite authors Sinta Yudisia few weeks ago in Seoul. We talked about many things starting from my thesis to the importance of writing. She gave me a lot of meaningful advice, and one of it was to blog again. So here I am, trying to revive MAX Power! ^^

I plan to categorize my upcoming posts to these:
[memory] - anything related to daily life or anything happened in the past
[travel] - places I went to or want to go to
[entertainment] - spazzing about Kpop or anything that come into my mind
[learning from TV] - something I learned or things I note down when I watch reality show
[living as Muslim] - information, tips or my stories related to living as a Muslim in Korea
[인도네시아 소개] - this is my ambition; I want to write Indonesia-related things in Korean
[Korean literary] - my other ambition; I want to challenge my ability to understand Korean literature by introducing Korean stories/poets/novels I learned in classes
[Korean study] - this will include topics such as Bahasa Korea dan Kebudayaan UI, KGSP, and my study now

Initially I plan to force myself to write a post every day but it sounds like too much... I think three to four posts a week is acceptable.

I don't know if anyone is still reading this blog, but if you are - please watch over my transformation! :) I want to revamp the design too but since I am still as clueless as ever about coding and design, I guess I have to be satisfied with revamping contents first.


Till next post!
