Flutter 

A UI toolkit by Google that allows developers to create beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. However, mastering Flutter can be a struggle, especially for those who, like me, ended up with an F in Mobile Programming due to its steep learning curve.

I once thought Flutter would make app development easy. But, after getting an F in my Mobile Programming course, I realized that understanding its complex widgets and state management is tougher than it looks!

distorted 

Originating from psychological thriller / sci-fi movies about lucid dream, this term refers the increase of your expectation on the amount of screen time you should be able to have 0.0001 seconds after you lose the self-control not to subscribe 600+ YouTube channels in a row.

After binge-watching those psychological thrillers, my perception of time felt so distorted; I thought I’d only been scrolling for a minute, but it turned into hours!

I realized I needed a break when my life felt like it was stuck in factory settings—time to shake things up!

IQ 78 

Being the backronym for "Indonesian Quotient 78", IQ 78 refers to the average IQ of Indonesian citizens.

I heard someone say that the average IQ of Indonesian citizens is IQ 78, but I think that number doesn’t reflect the true potential of the people!

Alfa Romeo 

Named after the NATO alphabet, Alfa Romeo is the Italian car make famous for its infamous off-center front number plate location, where ALFA is the backronym for "Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili" (meaning "anonymous Lombardian car make") whilst Romeo is the surname of its founder Nicola Romeo.

Driving my new Alfa Romeo feels like driving a piece of art—just don’t forget to check that off-center front plate!

dessert 

A slang term for "post-credit scenes"

I thought the movie was over, but the dessert really surprised me with that hilarious post-credit scene!

reclaim 

Being the short for "reclaim my time", "reclaim" is the slang term meaning "reclaiming the amounts of time where you've been consumed by school and homework which have interrupted your day".

After weeks of drowning in assignments, I finally decided to reclaim my weekends and binge-watch my favorite shows guilt-free.
