Day 3: Three Most Important Things I Cannot Live Without

What are the three most important things you cannot live without?

Melihat banyaknya benda di sekelilingku, aku jadi overwhelmed untuk menentukan benda apa yang sangat penting bagiku. Kalau memang benar-benar berarti, pastinya aku selalu membawa/mencari itu dimana-mana. Sulit sekali untuk memutuskan apa tiga benda yang terpenting, kalo dipikir-pikir aku kok mikir terus.

Aku ambil tiga benda yang hampir selalu ada di dekatku/dalam keseharianku:

  1. HP

    Sudah jelas lah ya, pastinya hape dengan sambungan internet. Ada banyak sekali yang bisa kulakukan di dalam benda kecil ini. Untuk menjadi sumber informasi, alat komunikasi, sampai menjadi alat dokumentasi. Aku nggak kebayang kalo seandainya aku hidup tanpa hape bakal kaya gimana kehidupan generasi sekarang. Kalo punya hape tapi ngga ada sinyal atau internet, itu masih bisa terjadi, khususnya saat kita pergi main ke gunung mencari Yeti dan tujuh dora atau pergi ke daerah-daerah terpencil lainnya yang masih susah sinyal. Meskipun begitu, kehadiran hape tanpa internet masih bisa diatasi karena hape sendiri adalah alat yang serbaguna. Kita bisa tetap menyuting video, mengambil gambar, main game offline, membaca buku, dan lain-lain. Inilah kenapa menurutku hape sangat signifikan di hidupku, karena alat ini selalu ada gunanya dan mudah dibawa kemana-mana.

  2. Heater/pemanas/boiler

    Pemanas apa maksudnya? Segala macam pemanas. Baik pemanas air, penghangat ruangan, ataupun water boiler, semuanya penting buatku. Saat ini karena masih winter di Australia, sohibku adalah heater. Aku gak kuat mandi pake air dingin di musim dingin dan aku gak mampu menjalani hari-hariku tanpa kamu — eh, maksudnya, heater ruangan. 

    Sedangkan untuk water boiler, karena aku pencinta minuman hangat, jadi pastinya bestie ku air hangat. Dan musim dingin di daerah tempat tinggalku paling rendah 0 derajat, belum bersalju, tenang. Tapi dinginnya masih bikin jengkel. Terkadang bangun pagi mau berangkat kerja tapi disambut kaca mobil yang telah membeku, aku jadi ga bisa gercep berangkat. Disinilah water boiler beraksi. Aku panaskan air secukupnya, kemudian dicampur sedikit air dingin supaya nggak terlalu panas, lalu aku siramkan ke kaca mobil. Karena kalo kaca mobil sudah membeku, gak bisa di wipe doang. Bertambah lagi alasan kenapa aku jadi kurang suka winter sekarang!

  3. Botol minum

    Karena aku lumayan sering diluar rumah dan hampir selalu berpindah tempat setiap beberapa bulan sekali, saat ini botol minum adalah hal yang wajib kubawa kemana-mana. Saking pentingnya, aku bawa botol itu nggak hanya ke tempat kerja, tapi juga ke supermarket, ke taman, ke dapur, hingga kalo kehilangan botol itu berasa putus hubungan sama temen.

    Aku pernah putus hubungan sama botol (temen), karena lama-lama rusak (pertemanannya), jadi harus kubuang botol itu (teman itu), padahal aku udah cocok banget sama botol (temen) ini. Akhirnya aku cari penggantinya dengan membeli (mencari) botol (temen) baru yang modelnya sama persis dengan yang sebelumnya (sebelum rusak). Bahagialah hatiku.

Oke, karena ternyata menulis ini cukup lama, aku mau tutup dulu tulisan hari ini. Jangan lupa minum dan move on lah dari es batu karena air hangat lebih mantap. Salam heater.

Embracing Long-Form Conversations: My Thoughts on Daniel Priestley and Steven Bartlett’s Insights

Hello everyone! Happy 2025! I hope you’re doing well. Today, I want to share my personal reflections on an interesting conversation between Daniel Priestley and Steven Bartlett from The Diary of a CEO . They discussed why podcasts and long-form, unscripted content are becoming so popular. This topic is definitely outside of my usual day-to-day—after all, I don't own a company, nor do I work in broadcasting. I’m a cook, but I still find this discussion very insightful. You can access the full video here . *** Why Do People Want Longer Content? We live in a world full of quick social media updates, be it in the form of shorts, reels, or something else. Personally, I enjoy the convenience of bite-sized videos. I can't deny that it feels so satisfying and entertaining at the same time (more on this maybe next time). But I’ve also noticed that short clips often lack depth. Daniel suggests that, because there’s so much confusion and debate about “misinformation,” people want longer, ...

Sumba Day 1: When the Plan Fell Apart Before I Even Left the Airport

After spending ten days in Sumba and two days in Sabu Island, I came home with hundreds of photos, countless stories, and a notebook full of thoughts that I did not want to forget. So here I am, beginning a new travel series. Let's start with Day One. And fittingly, Day One did not go according to plan. A Trip Years in the Making The idea of visiting Sumba was not new. My dad had been asking to go for years. I honestly cannot remember when the first conversation happened anymore, but I know it was sometime after COVID. Every year, something came up. Plans changed. Priorities shifted. The trip was postponed again and again. This year, we finally stopped delaying it. For those curious, our flight from Denpasar to Tambolaka cost approximately AUD 115.22 per person, or around IDR 1.4 million. After weeks of planning, arranging accommodations, coordinating transport, and carefully building a ten-day itinerary, we were finally on our way. Or so I thought. The First Surprise One of the pl...

Notes on Naval Ravikant

I recently listened to another Chris Williamson's podcast. This time, it's with Naval Ravikant. I decided to write down the ideas that stood out to me. Naval speaks about life in a clear and practical way. He talks about making long-term decisions carefully, learning through iteration, handling stress and anxiety, and finding happiness without ego. His ideas combine philosophy and business thinking in a simple but powerful way. This post is a personal reference so I can return to these lessons and review them in the future. This is actually only half of the podcast content that I listened to, but it has already brought me so much clarity about life in general. Four-Year Decisions: The Compounding Effect of Commitment Naval often emphasizes that decisions requiring long-term commitment must be treated really seriously. A four-year decision is rarely just about four years because it compounds. For example, choosing a city to live in affects: The peer group you encounter Yo...
