SUA DI SELASAR #5 //JKTGUIDE The tea sanctuary KONINGSPLEIN CO. I'm confused where to start telling about this place. I got a lot of things on my visit this time. Not only a comfortable experience in the middle of Jakarta but this time lucky to be able to chat with the owner. His experience in the tea scene which has been almost 20 years since his early interested in was very validated by the way he explained a lot about tea during the approximately 2 hours we talked. Never bored and one bit away from the word regret. Koningsplein seems to have become one of the destinations that I must visit every stopover in Jakarta. Especially for me who is not good enough to adapt to the hustle and bustle of Jakarta, seems to be a pitstop for me to recharge. The interior and the items inside really emphasize the atmosphere, I'm confident enough to say this place can be called a sanctuary ("at least for me personally"). I'm still learning to be able to tell a good story about my experiences and everything that I encountered on this trip. If you are curious, I suggest coming directly to Koningsplein on Jl. Bungur besar 17 no. 7 Central Jakarta. *Tips: you should make an appointment first before visiting. © Sufli Aziz

SUA DI SELASAR #7 Tadasih Kraton // @tadasih_ — Ferza @ferzazref Sajian keramahan interaksi warung kopi Menjadi salah satu warung kopi yang selalu masuk dalam daftar berkunjung, bukan karna ku begitu faham tentang kopi atau industrinya sehingga punya kepercayaan diri untuk berbaur diskusi mengenai hal tersebut. Pensuasanaan hingga obrolan tanpa tema khusus yang sering terjadi di bar mas Ferza tidak jarang meninggalkan memori khas dan pulang dengan topik yang nyangkut terbawa. Tak banyak waktu yang bisa didapat untuk ngobrol ngobrol di kunjungan beberapa waktu lalu. Akhir pekan menjadi salah satu alasannya. Banyak pelanggannya yang antre untuk bisa juga menikmati Tadasih dengan utuh. Sempat kudapat kurang lebih 5 menit sebelum pelanggan lain dipanggil untuk gilirannya. Obrolan singkat tentang mensyukuri diri menjadi bukan siapa siapa, berpegang pada nilai diri yang bisa membuatnya beradaptasi dimanapun, menjaga diri tetap menapak di kondisi apapun, hingga menikmati hidup dengan kesederhanaan. Tak banyak topik pembicaraan tapi cukup untuk ku bawa selain kesan rasa Pantan Musara yang masih menempel di jalan pulang. Tadasih selalu berbagi apa yang didapatnya hari itu di laman Instagramnya @tadasih__ , menurutku ini yang membuatnya menciptakan kata "dekat" antara mereka dan kawan kawan yang berkunjung atau mungkin baru sekedar mengikuti perjalanannya via dunia maya (semoga bisa mengunjunginya langsung). Kawan kawan bisa coba berkunjung dan mengalaminya sendiri. Datanglah tanpa membawa ekspektasi. Ceritaku tak menjamin apapun yang muncul di benak kalian saat membaca tulisan ini pasti kalian alami. Tapi ku rekomendasikan harus mampir ketika berkunjung/ada di Jogja. Semoga nilai nilai baik yang Tadasih dan mas Ferza pegang bisa menyebar dengan baiknya dan diterima hingga menumbuhkan hal baik yang lebih di diri yang lain. Sehat selalu mas, penasaran akan perjalanan Tadasih ke depannya. Foto dan cerita lengkapnya ku unggah di laman pribadi.

Dug into storage and found these photos from a pilot project when I first got into photography 8 years ago. A checkpoint and reminder point where I have come far enough and I have grown into who I am. The values that you have been working towards will lead you to the side where you deserve better and not humiliate yourself by asking for recognition from those who don’t need your attention. keep on grinding hey survivor! Thank you and I’m proud of myself. 2 pieces of advice that came from 2 person I respect quite a lot and they said things that had the same thread. “Segala hal yang Allah titipkan bukan untuk menjadikanmu lebih baik dari orang lain, pula bukan untuk menjadikanmu “lebih” istimewa. Tapi tuhan mempercayaimu untuk menyebarkan kebaikanNya lebih luas lewat dirimu. Dan bukan tidak mungkin tuhan mencabut itu, sebagai bentuk tugasmu sudah selesai atau kamu belum cukup pandai untuk bersyukur.”

// Q1 // 🧿🪐 Reflective contemplation is my definition for this song. From day one, I felt a strong connection to this work, especially the entire Q1 EP. It’s highly underrated, and I created a visual interpretation that emerged upon first listening to the song. Likewise, to @gamaliel , the creator of this work, he’s a remarkable person with his own uniqueness. That’s one of the reasons I’m so wary of his work. I’m always curious about what goes on in his head. The tracklist and EP feel personal to me. Even though this is Gamal’s work, which tells the story of his transcendence and his journey to reconcile with failure, every element he combines and harmonizes within this work is profound and meaningful, making me relate to it. Thank you for your honesty in creating this work. Even though you had to brave discomfort and push yourself beyond your comfort zone, your honesty has succeeded in finding your authentic self. Q1 sounds like a journey that doesn’t end the previous adventure but like a statement about the adventure that will continue, whatever you have gone through and gained in this Q1 journey, you have done your best and you deserve the best especially being met with your true self. I really look forward to the next quarter, I hope you don’t stop creating honest works, and it’s okay if you feel tired and disappointed, but I’m sure after going through it all will reveal another better side of yourself. You have done your best, thank you for daring to share your honest self and your journey that you deserve to embrace and celebrate. the feeling you added in this work has successfully reached its home with a positive impact that is widespread. // forever more //

This trend has become quite popular during a time of global isolation and limited interaction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is what prompted me to act impulsively while watching the Olympics 2026 through online broadcast last February. It was quite excited.

SLOWSHUTTER // PACES UP Melambat, melihat semuanya terasa seperti sedang tergesa gesa untuk sesuatu yang entah apa. Kejarannya yang bersifat tidak materialistis, dan energi yang saling bergesekan tak jarang beradu. Menjadi diri yang utuh dan autentik serta apa adanya lebih meringankan untuk terhubung dengan lainnya daripada mengambil alih tugas tuhan memetakan semuanya seolah yang dirumuskan adalah bentuk sempurna namun nyatanya menggerogoti perlahan dari dalam.

S—A°365MAIL “I realized that confusion didn’t slow me down; it quietly taught me to listen to myself. I learned that feeling stuck was often a sign I was building something deeper. Over time, I learned to give rest its place and stopped seeing it as failure. I realized that letting go brought clarity, not loss. I learned that being honest with myself mattered more than motivation ever did. I realized that growth doesn’t always show, but it’s always felt. I learned that plans can shift while direction remains. I realized I didn’t need to feel ready to move—I just needed to start. I learned that peace comes from awareness, not perfect conditions. I’m not my best version yet, but I’ve learned that I’ve grown beyond who I once was.” Pergeseran waktu antar musim ritmenya memang terulang namun tidak linear, selalu saja lebih cepat atau lebih lambat dari yang diperkirakan. from 2025 to 2026 Selamat menyikapi.

Choosing to be on my own never meant I don’t need others—it just means I’m learning to be more mindful about the connections I allow into my life. Not every relationship is built purely on goodness, and that’s where awareness and personal boundaries become essential anchors. My moments of solitude feel almost sacred; a quiet space to care for myself, to grow in self-awareness, and to accept every part of who I am. At the end of the day, no one can honor my whole being as sincerely as I can—no one can embrace me with the same honesty, fullness, and truth I owe to myself.

Bepergian ke banyak tempat baru sering terasa seperti berjalan menembus cermin melihat dunia yang berbeda, tapi pada saat yang sama justru melihat diri sendiri lebih jelas. Setiap perjalanan, setiap jeda, dan setiap pertemuan menjadi ruang refleksi atas langkah-langkah yang sudah ditempuh dan pencapaian yang kadang tidak sempat dirayakan. Di tengah perubahan pemandangan dan ritme hidup yang berganti, perlahan belajar menerima diri apa adanya: menghargai proses yang tidak selalu mulus, merangkul versi diri yang terus tumbuh, dan akhirnya menemukan ketenangan dalam menyadari bahwa langkah sudah berjalan sejauh ini, dan itu bukan hal kecil.
