FEDERER RE-WRITES HISTORY: 18TH GRAND SLAM

I WITNESSED ROGER FEDERER WON HIS 18TH GRAND SLAM TITLE!!!!!

It was unpredictable. It was magical. It was peRFect.


I cried. This win was an extremely emotional one for me personally. Because I was waiting for this moment since the first day I devoted myself as an RF fan. Roger Federer is not just a tennis player to me. He's my idol. My inspiration. My biggest role model. His fighting spirit and dedication for the sport he loves always inspired me in so many ways. So this win, too, means the world to me. I cried like a baby. I was so happy. I was so proud of my man that night.



Coming through the 2017 Australian Open, even Roger himself didn't expect to be winning the title since he's been off 6 months in 2016. Also...his draw is brutal. To get to the final, he had to beat many of the TOP players which are Berdych, Nishikori, Murray (predicted), and Wawrinka. So I was nervous, didn't put up high expectation and just be happy about his comeback. Because not being able to see him for 6 months sucks. A lot.

BUT....

I've been watching him from Day 1 and it blew my mind.. The way he plays amazed EVERYONE. Even himself. He's playing like he's never been away. He was playing amazingly well. He played in the highest level of tennis. He was amazing and somehow managed to get to the final. AND... guess who is he playing in the final? YES. His greatest rival, Rafael Nadal! Classic.

This was not the first time I watched Roger played in a Slam final. But this was the first time EVER that I got to watch the classic Fedal match in a Slam final!!! (I'm blessed!). They used to play each other A LOT in the early years (2004-2009), but those years were the years where I know zero about tennis. That's why I feel so lucky to be able to witness this historic win. 😭🏆💕

Look how much this means to him.
Can't hold those tears of joy.
Rafa. Rod. Roger.
The 3 living legends.
The biggest smile I've ever seen on him.
Reunited with the proud team. Celebrating.

Mirka's reaction melted my heart. The sweetest. 😭💕😭💕💕

With lots of people and journalists around....
He's in the newspaper, front page, all around the world.

Also, two of his biggest sponsors, Nike and Wilson, made special tees and rackets to celebrate his 18th Grand Slam victory. As for Wilson, Roger personally signed 18 limited edition tennis rackets that will be auctioned off at rogerfederer.com and all proceeds will go toward The Roger Federer Foundation. What a thoughtful gift. 😭💕



Warm welcome from the Swiss people when he arrived at the airport in Zurich.
Pride of Swiss.

Congratulations, Maestro! You never cease to amaze me. You re-write the history, again! Please don't stop fighting. Please don't stop at No. 18. Please keep that fire in you. I love you. I'm so proud of you. You have been and will always be my biggest role model.
More great things to come! 💖


Till next year, Melbourne. 👋👋👋

THINGS I INVEST IN 2017

I've been reading many articles that talk about investing in our twenties and why it's important for us as a human being. Those articles have opened my eyes that I, as a 21-year-old, have not invested so much. Fortunately I'm still in my early 20s tho, so I still have time to improve and invest more. And invest is not always about money. It's those simple things that will make you a better person for the years to come, like networking with people, volunteering, reading, learning new skill, etc. That's why my 2017 resolutions will be about some things to invest in me.  Attending workshops/seminars Through seminar I'll be able to explore, exchange thoughts and learn things from like-minded professionals. I'll be richer in knowledge and feeling inspired by the time I leave the event. Therefore, this year I'd like to start attending seminar/talkshow in the topic I like the most which are nature and wildlife. WWF Indonesia often held talkshows in...
