Several days later, still in early January, I visited MACAN Museum with Chips Ahoy. Middle of January, I visit Kebun Raya Bogor, an open space area near President’s residence in Bogor. Late January, I went to Singapore for a business trip.

April 2018, definitely it was one of the most excited month in 2018, even in my life. I had a short trip to part of Kepulauan Seribu (thousand islands), together with Rizaq, Binti, Dini, and Jerry. On 8th, I celebrate Dini’s birthday, and a day before it, I “met” Dwike Novellyni for the first time. We’re not literally met but we had a long conversation and it continue until today. I also had a trip with her at end of April to Yogyakarta. It was, remarkable.

I also had trip to Dufan, this time we went to Sea World! Another big step I had made was, I started to go to church. This month, we also had our first “official” date, she did her work while I’m just accompany her to Cilandak Transmart.
