Last night I had some kind of weird existensial crisis which almost led me to book a bus ticket to Fukuoka for today, but it didn't happen. I was talking with a few friends and they were surprisingly very supportive during the episode, and I feel bad for not being able to appreciate them enough.

Well the dread is still lingering, and my right wrist is preventing me to continue learning this piano piece. Perhaps this is a good time to get back to my visual novel backlog.

I bought a mouse for left hand and it was almost the perfect mirror copy of what I was using.

One of the friend who was with me last night used to work as a pharmacist, and when I told her the loxoprofen patch I put on my wrist only feels good for the first couple hours, she said that it's normal and doesn't affect the effectiveness and I should not change it 5 times a day like the grandma she reprimanded in the past.

Aaand oops, probably shouldn't type more for now lol.

If you read this, that means I deployed this new blog successfully.

There were some things I'd like to post between this date and my last entry on dreamwidth (2024-09-19) and so I will update those posts retroactively.

Thank you for stopping by.

web frontend is such a wild different beast and i respect everyone that deals with it on a daily basis. i wasted hours trying to load data on init with angular to no luck.

by the way, i think i'm getting better at making aglio olio spaghetti. i strive for over 90% of successful cooked spaghetti rate now.

already more or less settled in new place. i love the room despite the awkward corners and spaces. the neighborhood is also nice though i couldn't visit most of the shops (they either sell alcohol, patronized by too many people, too pricey etc).

got nothing to do besides self-study though lol. the anxiety of eventually learning that i'm useless will haunt me for a few months, i guess.

lots of clothing, too many skincares. minimalist my foot lol. i'm trying to make my luggage as light as possible but it's just hard for me to not worry about clothing and skincares.

watched Anime Supremacy (ハケンアニメ！）which was a part of JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL ONLINE 2024 lineup. it was an awesome story about a budding director who aims to surpass the director she looks up to. i only vaguely knew about how there are so much put into a media work, but this really grounded it to me that anime is the culmination of everyone involved in their own ways.

(oh my god i really love the protagonist, she's super cute)

beat Sumatra: Fate of Yandi earlier today. while the gameplay and plot wasn't mindblowing, it was fascinating to explore the jungle while speculating about the mythical orang pendek and seeing lots of cute Sumatran animals along the way (sadly no rhino). that one very short encounter with the orangutan will remained with me for a while.

went to peskom bandung today and splurged so much on so many awesome indonesian comics!! i might've spent more than i did on comifuro last month. will edit later for photos of both comifuro and peskom bandung loots.

edit: forgot to put pic but whatever. was really disappointed to find out that one of these artists worked for pizza hut and many were supporting him.

how to stop feeling empty? i guess this is a result of me putting off my moving preparation. i have too much plastic wastes in my room and i don't know what to do with it. i know the only thing to do was to throw it away, but it's just disheartening to know it will be piled onto the landfill, burned and turned into greenhouse gas.

i wanted to finish at least a track before moving out of here. i also had to catch up with learning because previous work has not taught me anything and even primed me to use terrible practices. frankly i'm afraid that this is all a huge mistake and the branch manager of my new job would find out on our next meeting. we still have not determine which client i will be placed in.

i don't know what came to me, but i wasted 6 hours playing gta iv, stopping after the weird dude who demands you to kill everyone killed me. i was playing dragon's dogma like crazy prior to playing gta iv, and i can't believe that was the one people called "janky" instead of the latter where the way the character walks feels so clunky.

this apparently was the "cut-off" game where people still use old phones and go to cafes to browse internet. although i don't think the core activities was that different from the modern gta v.
