Before I get into my weekly recap, I'd like to greet my fellow Indonesians, a happy 69th independence day~! Never thought we have been free for colonization that long, huh?

Anyway, let us all hope for the best future for Indonesia. Although I have been a skeptic for I don't know how long, I really have a high expectation to our new elected President, Joko Widodo. If we can call what Indonesia has been having 'a disease' - the corruption, poverty, oil mafia, etc -, it has been a very long uncured 'disease', and it will be a long and tough road for the new President. Even now the attempt to block Jokowi's path to Presidency is still on going with his rival presidency candidate is challenging the Election Commission (known as KPU) at the Constitutional Court in regards of failed election due to systematic, massive and structured fraud happening across 33 provinces of Indonesia. The court decision is to be announced end of this coming week.
The news I've read about the witnesses testimonies from the has been very 'interesting', and please note I am being kind. I couldn't help laughing either cynically or exasperatedly every time a witness just fumbled or finally admitted that their recant of the so-called 'incidents' was from second or even third hand. The proof is not sufficient and the suit is weak from my point of view of a common citizen, and the on-going trials are more like a bad comedy or soap opera. What's baffling me the most is how the plaintiff side seems to be in totally strong denial mode, that they are blind to see how ridiculous they are!

All in all, I just hope there won't be any riot ensued. The life of Indonesian people need not anymore drama caused by political interests of some selfish and greedy elites.

Now, let's go back to the weekly recap.

Strangely, what I can remember about my week is how tired I felt after work.
I missed 2 yoga sessions, one due to over-time and the other one to the exhaustion. Has the workload finally taken a toll on me? I realize that I'm busier than before, I hardly can chat freely with my friends over GTalk anymore and my social life has been declining in alarming rate. When I'm not at work, I would be at my yoga studio, or my home. And at home, I would spend my time doing house chores, or looking for ideas for new projects for my Etsy shop.

But this past week, I could hardly leave my bed once I was home, and I unproductively wasted my time watching Korean dramas. I am now on to 3 different Korean dramas of different genres: It's Okay It's Love, Fated To Love You and Joseon Gunman. I like those dramas equally so far and I am impatient to finally get their final episodes.

Oh yes, I've ordered myself a new Yamaha keyboard and they are to be delivered next Saturday. I can't wait to start playing around with it. It has been literally decades since the last time I played any musical instrument, and I am excited to finally get myself playing tunes again!

Last but not least, let's end this recap on a good note, I had a fun dinner and dessert with my girlfriends who I have not seen for quite some time. I'm glad that they set up this girls night out, coz I was in dire need of some social life after such a bleak week.
