Life Update Before My Birthday
Mwahhahaha. Hello again after almost a year.
Yeah. I admit that nowadays due to advanced technologies, I feel very lazy to blog. To blog, I need to think about what my post is about, do I have sufficient images to share? I also need to write a lot and overthink my writing, grammar, and writing style. Mehh.
I can easily share my life updates via Instagram stories, a picture tells thousands of words they say. But we tend to appreciate on things we spend time on. That's why I still brace myself through this laziness to write this. I hope Aan 20-30 years later will appreciate this shit.
Life Updates So Far (sorted from the latest)
On Nov 22, 2023 — I went to my first concert ever. Apparently, after convincing my parents, they allowed me to attend it although they're on the conservative side, pffft. I bought the ticket last May when I was still with ServeDeck. Yeah, I quit ServeDeck in July. Hahah.

| Buying this made me feel literally rich. |
I went alone heheheh so that I can cry all I want. I usually listen to them during shower time after a difficult day. Their lyrics are on the positive self-acceptance side. That's why, I cried 40% of the times there.
 |
| Before my eyes went red. |
Will I attend any concerts after this? Not sure. This concert already gave me high expectations. If I'm ever to attend another one – I hope it'll be the Fall Out Boy. Hehe
I Changed My Job Again —Bye Bye ServeDeck, Hello Configura
In July 2023 — I quit ServeDeck after working there for 2.5 years. Now I'm working for Configura, a software company from Sweden. Hej, MNC life, bye-bye startups life. This is officially my 5th job since I graduated back in 2015.
 |
| From not having my own desk and just a single monitor... |
 |
| ...to having own adjustable height workstation desk and 3 screens. |
Life has been good to me. Alhamdulillah for that. But ServeDeck gave me friends. I guess, tough situations bring good companions.
I Went to Jakarta – I Love Indonesian Sambal
Motivated by the melancholic 29th birthday trip with my family to Penang that I couldn't even eat the food that made me want to go there (Rojak Pasembur). I impulsively planned a self-trip to Jakarta. I have a friend there and she helped me a lot. We also learned Figma auto-layout together. Going here made me post things into my TikTok account, lol.

| My aesthetic for Aan w/ Leni will be the grainy lo-fi image style. lol |

My Primary Hobby This Year is Analog Photography
Last year, I set 'To try analog photography' for my 2023 goal. Fortunately, my friend from Snappymob; Ah Fei lent me his Canon AV-1.
 |
| I was just let's try try first this time. |
 |
| And I bought my own rangefinder, Yashica Electro GX on May, 2023. |
I get hooked by this expensive hobby, the films are damn costly but it is what it is. Lol. I also opened up an Instagram account aanh. film to store my photos there.

I Collaborated with My Friends and Created The TornadoByte
Do you have a dream of starting your own company? I did. And with my friends, we initiated TornadoByte. It's an indie software, application company (not even a proper company now) but we'll see!
Okay, see you guys again after my birthday.
