name-blind

I totally know what that subject teaches me in college, but I'm completely name-blind when it comes to what it's called!

finger

A humorous term referring to the idea of having built-in churros on your palm, designed for dipping into chocolate sauce (or any suitable sauce). It plays on the notion of fingers being the perfect tool for enjoying snacks.

I wish my fingers were churros so I could just dip them in chocolate sauce whenever I want!

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!

Carstensz

Carstensz is the name of a shopping mall for girls to hang out, located at Jl. Jenderal Sudirman No.1, Cihuni, Kec. Pagedangan, Kabupaten Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia, often mistakenly thought to be a car dealer or automotive exhibition because of the "Car-" prefix.

When my friends suggested we meet at Carstensz, I thought it was a car dealership, but it turns out it's a trendy mall for girls to hang out!

cruise

Slang for sunglasses, inspired by the iconic shades worn by Tom Cruise in his blockbuster films like "Mission Impossible 7: Dead Reckoning" (2023), "American Made" (2017), "Top Gun" (1986), and "Top Gun 2: Maverick" (2022). These sunglasses symbolize style and coolness.

Check out my new cruise; they totally give me that Tom Cruise vibe from 'Top Gun'!

rice

The nails when cut from the fingers, as their textures resemble that of uncooked rice.

After trimming my nails, I couldn't help but think they looked like little pieces of rice scattered on the table.

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!
