Can't believe it's 2026 already and as I mentioned many times before, new year meaning new age (count) for me. I didn't write anything in 2025 because I was busy living my life (ha-ha). It took great courage to finally open this 2013 laptop again. I mean, I'm (still) a stay at home mother and not required to open my laptop frequently like I used to be - like, 8 years ago. If I need anything, my gadgets are satisfying enough to accommodate my needs: seeing my social media updates, watching the series that I rarely finish - brain rot is real - and sometimes doing the creative commissions that coming once or twice a year lol.
Anyway. To refresh the page, I'll try to write some life updates that was happened in these 2 years.
The Driver License
I got my first driver license! Lol can't believe I finally got that after several hours (in 2 months) of learning. The sessions felt like nightmare, btw. The tutor, a middle aged man who constantly whining about how low he was paid to teach us, was not that patient. He forgot everything every time we did the session. There was one time that he asked me to drive so long and assuming I had already expert, he frustrated a lot seeing how I couldn't take the turn smoothly - it was my 2nd session btw. To be fair, I had zero experience on the road I can't even ride a bike! In the end, by some observations I finally understood that all those times, he WANTED TO BE TIPPED lol. I watched him so kind to the other students who gave him tips like a hundred thousand rupiahs per session. I mean, my husband already paid bunch to the provider I didn't know we need to pay extra for the tutor. No wonder he was so mean OMG.
In this economy, now it is understandable. I forgave him. Wouldn't recommend to anyone, tho.
But no, I haven't use that permit again. The traffic in my area is so scary I just can't. Maybe in this 2026 I will practice more.
Riding a Bike
I mentioned many times that I was not able to ride a bike - a skill that was supposed to be mastered while we were very young (my kids unlocked this when they were 4). Looking back, I didn't have any bike when I was little. The only bike I've tried to ride was my older brother's. It was small, old and rusty. I gave up on my first try riding that bike once the additional tires were removed. Because it was too scary and my Bapa didn't gave me the assurance that I would master it. Later on, the bike was broken and I never revisit that moment again.
