PEONIES IN THE GRDN: Solitude

I have spent five days by myself in Jakarta and I'd say that I really miss my own solitude. I love doing most of my activities by myself. Coming home to an empty house could feel very quiet and desolate but I really need it to wind down myself. I love having slow mornings and nights, listening to music and podcasts without someone judging me for being "too slow" or "too relax". I have been going to the gym regularly here because the gym is just one elevator button away. I feel like I can finally be discipline again if I live by my own. Anyway, I am so excited for another solo trip like this. Don't get me wrong, I still love my family and my partner in life, but sometimes spending some time away from them is my own way of resetting my mind and soul.

Growing up, I've always been the most introvert one and a very socially awkward person. It was not until college when I started opening up about myself. Lucky for me, my friends were all very extrovert person. I learnt to speak my mind from them and express my thoughts by mimicking them. They say "fake it till you make it" and this is the living proof that this quote is indeed true. They might not be reading this blog but I am forever thankful for their presence in my life. They made me step out of my comfort zone, aka my spotlessly clean 800 sqft one bedroom apartment.

Well, here is a glimpse of what I do in Jakarta when I am alone.

Going to the gym everyday. My goal is to lose 3-4 kgs of fats. Wish me luck.

Hi George! Love how fast the service and how good the food is. Would definitely come back if I am looking for a quick comfort food.

Participating a business event! Such a pleasant experience.

Salty Salty Salted Choco, not my favourite. I'd prefer the salted matcha way better.

Yes, the reflexology in Jakarta is cheaper than Medan's (depending on the location that you choose)
This is Chien Kang Tang Pluit, please request for therapist named Barna. Thank me later.
