Retired Before 35
“What do you mean retired? Do you really really wanted to retired… NOT WORKING at all… before 35?” That’s my friend’s reaction when I told him that my goal is to retired before 35. What I meant about ‘retired’ is the joy of financial freedom. That I no longer HAVE TO work in order to...

Inspirations from My Office Girl
My #olliebday writing challenge come from my personal experience. As a writer, I always want to see someone, not solely from the interface that I see (excuse my geeky phrase -_-), but from other perspective.

On Celebrating #OllieBday
Can’t believe it’s my birthday again! This year, I spend my birthday in Singapore with friends while attending Echelon 2011. This year’s birthday is officially the first birthday without him.

Perjalanan Umroh ku (Catatan Pinggir)
Dua hari terakhir saya di Mekkah, sebelum pulang ke Indonesia, tamu bulanan saya datang tak diundang. Jadilah saya mendekam di kamar sambil membaca buku Naked Traveler 3 yang saya bawa dari Indonesia. Buku Trinity ini, menurut saya yang terbaik dari ketiga buku. I love it very much. Ceritanya makin komplit dan makin vulgar a la...
My Umrah Journey
Living in Indonesia, country with largest Muslim population in the world, I’ve been a Muslim all my life. I automatically become a Muslim because my parents are Muslim. I didn’t walk thru process of ‘searching’. I accept Islam they way it is. And I didn’t questioned it. The 5 times praying ritual started become a soul-less routine....
