I rename my blog with these two magic words that I got from my late grandmother "Nini Lamak". She said it everytime she sees and hears something beautiful. "A-pai" is an exclamation word, like "Oo", while "pa-runa" means beautiful. These words are taken from Banjarese.
Personally, those words act as a reminder to understand that I can always see the silver linings in each moment, including the rough one. With that spirit, this blog is meant to remind myself about the beauty of life.
Looking back through my writings, I can see my joy of being lost in Australia and Peru and enjoy my identity along with the Islamic community there. Here and there, I wrote about my family and the people I met along the way. They are my treasures which I love to share with anyone who is willing to read all of the non-sense of "what-the-hell-she writes about".
Please don't be confused about the language that I choose. I am an Indonesian who loves her native and national language (Banjarese and Indonesia), her first love (English), and her new love interest (Spanish).
