2017 Reading Challenge

-
Hello. It's been about a month since I wrote here #Sorry
The thing is my workload is a little bit crazy last month, that all I ever wanted to do in the weekend is taking a rest.
I even planning to have a get away vacation in the end of the year, but still have no idea if it could happen or not :(

Anyway, I'd like to share and continue my long lost hobby : Reading a book.
I think that it's necessary to find something to convert all the stress I have in work to other things.
You know, with all the limitations : I am in office for 12 hours straight (8am to 8pm), for 5 days (Monday to Friday), and seeing the same people everyday.
It turn out not only stressful full enough (with the work), but also boring as lord knows how it feels.

So I start again to read a book!
Not as aggressively and efficiently as when I was in college, but I start my old and first hobby since forever. You may wonder why I said it's not the same as when I was in college.
Well when I was in college, I have more spare time to fill with reading a book.
I could even read all 7 Harry Books twice a year in college, and still reading all other books!
And when I was in college, I can read faster. I was only minus 2 at that time. Now my eyes is worsened, and it's already minus 5 :(
When I was in college, I can finish Dan Brown book in like 5 - 7 hours. Now, I finish Robert Galbraith (about same pages long) in 2 days :(

For 2017 I join GoodReads challenge about how many books you can read in a year.
I put 14 books to read in 2017. Until November 2017, I already read 8 books.
It means that I have 6 books more to read.. Huft
It's hard of course, I only have 1.5 months to read 6 books.
But I optimist to finish the challenge this year!

Here are the glimpse of books I read this year.

Heyy, i'd like to share my experience last night, attended a recitation by Ust. Nouman Ali Khan, a well-known ustadz from USA. It actually started around a month ago, when one of my colleague at work, Mas Emir told Teh Icha, Mas Made and I that there will be recitation by Ust. Nouman Ali Khan in Jakarta. Being familiar with the name, i google-d him up and found that I at least have watched one of his videos in Youtube. Realising that this is a rare opportunity of him visiting Indonesia, I decided to commit to attend the event, where it will be held really close which is in Balai Kartini. Of course I am not ready if have to go by myself, if you know me my friend, you will understand hehe.. Well to put it frankly, i am not a very religious person, and neither in the process to be one. 😅 And so I also asked my friends directly that afternoon, Cendekia girls, to join. Hartek and Chu said yes almost instantly, so we decided to booked the ticket immediately. If you read the sent

As the title goes, i would like to share a review of new movie which is none other than Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! Before you reading the rest of this post, please note that it might have some serious spoilers. So if you haven't watched the movie, and don't want any spoilers, come back after you watch it okaay :) First of all, i would like to share some insights of my Muggle born "friends" have about this movie. They thought that, this movie in particular is not satisfying enough. They argue that the story line is not good, so nothing special with it to be considered as high quality movie, and of course they believed that this movie is overrated! Hmmmm... Well, actually i'm FINE with all comments like that, you know.. It's a democratic country, that every person has the same right to give and express their opinion. And I totally UNDERSTAND that every people has their own taste, their own preferance. Even though I am a little bit hurt by

 She asked me,  "How did you move on? It's really hard for me. And it really hurts". I gather my thought for a while, letting some 8 years-flashbacks running thru my head, and exhale , "I once did everything in my power to save myself from drowning unnecessarily. Will you do the same, to save yours?". I believe that it's not running away, that it's merely the act of changing priority on loving and caring my self more. And I'm not looking back.
