Home-venture

A blend of "home" and "adventure", this term describes the bittersweet feeling of missing your home country while also feeling excited about traveling to a foreign place. It captures the mix of nostalgia and anticipation that comes with exploring new cultures while longing for the comfort of home.
As I packed my bags for Japan, I felt a wave of home-venture—so excited to explore, but already missing my mom’s cooking!

kids

A lighthearted term referring to children as fashion accessories for parents, especially showcased during family gatherings like Christmas, Lebaran, etc. emphasizing the desire to present a perfect family image.
During Lebaran, it felt like the kids were just props for the parents to flaunt in front of relatives—everyone was more interested in their outfits than the actual family reunion!
