How it is going for me
Last updated in 19 September 2026I finished my postgraduate diploma study from ICTP on the end of August! On early September, I settled back to my family house in Indonesia, nestled by palm trees and filled by the familiar loud noises of my parrots.

I like to joke that I’m on my unemployment era, but I hope to use the most out of this precious break time. My main focus right now is doing PhD applications. I’m also trying to wrap up my past research, back from undergraduate to diploma studies.
Aside from that, I am trying to polish this website. I found a new daily routine of brewing tea after learning how to use a two stacked Turkish teapots, a side quest given by Burak. I tried to spend my weekend to catch up with my Indonesian friends too.
At nights, I often do a 5K run around my neighborhood while listening to Indonesian podcasts. These days, I find inspiration from Indonesian science communicators and environmental journalists. Lately, Indonesia has been struck by many significant disasters and it is important for me to follow along the news.
