I always love Hong Kong—either for strolling around, shopping, writing and sketching, taking pictures, or simply lazying in an open-air coffee shop, reading a good book—the city never fails me. The people, the weather, the smell of seafood grilled over charcoal, the bustling sound of the crossings, the tramways, the light bulbs… somehow all feels magical and romantic. The city represents everything that’s new and everything that’s old: like the past, present and future, merged into one. It’s also for these reasons Hong Kong came up to be a city with great significance in my book #28Days. This is how Hong Kong looks like from the eyes of the girl character in the book:

    1. Episode yang signifikan terjadi di HongKong 😉 Waktu mereka flashback tentang memori di The Peak, jalan-jalan di Tsim Sha Tsui, naik trem, terus ketemuan lagi di Sky Terrace ketika cowoknya launching buku foto, sampai memutuskan meninggalkan cowok itu ketika duudk di HongKong International Airport nunggu penerbangan ke Jakarta 😀

          1. Baik, Kakak….aku akan baca ulang lagi bukunya, dan (mungkin) tenggelam lagi dengan ceritanya. Bedanya mungkin, waktu pertama kali baca sewaktu pulang dari UWRF 2011 di pesawat jadi suasananya megang banget. Tapi tetap gak ngeh kalo ini di Hongkong! Maap 😀

If you made it this, far, please say 'hi'. It really means a lot to me! :)

This year, I learned to accept the days when I don't feel motivated, tired, or a bit grumpy. I learned to allow myself to sit with this feeling instead of feeling guilty about it and forcing myself to be productive, socialize, or just get things done.

In the end, self-care is not always about doing the things that make us feel good or give us instant gratification. It's also about doing the RIGHT thing: something that is good for us in the long run—even if it may feel hard at times.

Hi. I'm HANNY
I am an Indonesian writer/artist/illustrator and stationery web shop owner (Cafe Analog) based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I love facilitating writing/creative workshops and retreats, especially when they are tied to self-exploration and self-expression. In Indonesian, 'beradadisini' means being here. So, here I am, documenting life—one word at a time.
