Senja at Sunset

You know that just yesterday I got ghosted . By a   potential tenant . Yes, I know, that sentence alone sounds ridiculous. Ghosting belongs in dating stories, not property transactions. But here we are. He had said he’d come to sign the contract. I waited. No show. No text. No sorry-I-can’t-make-it message. Just   silence . Fine, I thought, maybe he changed his mind. I moved on and carried on with life. Then today, plot twist. He showed up at my in-laws’ house, ready to   sign the contract . Okay. That’s new. Since I lived 50 km away, so my father in law handled him. And then he called, said that he could only pay for three months instead of eight. Okay, I can understand flexibility. But then came the kicker: he wanted to move in   tomorrow   (yes, TOMORROW), even though he’d only be able to pay on   November 16 which is 10 days AFTER that.  Like, seriously? I might be an INFJ , but even my empathy has limits. How do you even process a request like tha...

What If the Minister Didn’t Show Up, But the Wisdom Still Did?

When the minister didn’t show up, wisdom did. A day of unexpected lessons and inspiration. "Disappointment has a funny way of turning into wisdom, if you stay long enough to listen."   —   Nuniek Tirta Sari So, I woke up early today. Like,   really   early. My mission: to attend the OCBC Business Forum 2025 in St. Regis Kuningan and listen to the new Minister of Finance, Mr. Purbaya's speech.  After wrestling through Jakarta’s legendary morning traffic for 2 hours, I finally arrived at the venue. The first dialogue session was already running, and I panicked, thinking I’d missed the minister’s talk. But when I looked at the latest rundown, surprise! His name was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he’d never confirmed attendance in the final version. Ah, the classic “expectation vs. reality” moment. OCBC Business Forum 2025 I just laughed. Not even disappointed anymore, just… amused. Because really, what else can you do when the main reason you came didn’t show up...
