Last day of September.
A lot of things happened this month.
I have been officially unemployed for a month now.
So far, I used my free time to gamble, stock up on cat stationery from Typo, pay the library a long-overdue visit, hang out with the sharks in SEA, and enjoy some fun art.
I celebrated my birthday with everyone I loved at Mangotree, a Kerala restaurant in Singapore. The theme was stripes; there were balloons and colourful macarons. Surrounded by them (friends and family, not the cake), I felt so much love. I, of course, love my gifts, but I really appreciate the words written on my birthday cards. Thank you, guys, for another memorable birthday!
I left Singapore and moved back to Jakarta, back to my childhood bedroom, the purple room, at my parents,
Don’t those last two events sound like regress? Gah! But I had a home-cooked meal just now, which beats eating food by the microwave at midnight. So, for now, I will focus on those happy things.
I also wrote a guest post and participated in #BlogEverydayinSept.

🥮 ━ My birthday also coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival (or Mooncake Festival) — my favourite Singapore-oriented celebration. It felt like a proper send-off from Singapore (I’ll take what I can get, I guess).

Thank You, Next!
I am taking a gap month(s), so next month, the main focus is relaxation and reset, and I am looking forward to it.
Now that I’m back in Jakarta, I would love to join the local blogger community. I’m a little worried, though, that I won’t blend easily in the beginning because I can be awkward at times. Anyway, I’ll keep you updated. For this month’s link love and in relation to what I mentioned earlier, I present to you some cool Indo bloggers.
