Hi, I'm a dog moman avid readera programmera tennis playera language learneran animal lovera science enthusiast
I write A Curious Note from my home in Jakarta, usually on quiet Sunday mornings, with a cup of tea nearby and my dog asleep at my feet.
An incomplete biography.
My name is Sherly, and I started this blog as a quiet place to keep the things I don’t want to forget: fascinating facts, strange questions, half-finished thoughts, and small moments of wonder. This blog is less about expertise and more about attention; a personal archive of things that made me pause long enough to care.
By day, I work in technology as an frontend lead, building products and working with my beloved team of developers, who turn ideas into things that exist. When I’m not working or writing, I’m usually reading, learning a new language, drinking tea, playing tennis, practicing piano, or spending time with my dog.
I don’t really write this blog to grow an audience. I write it so that years from now, I can return to these pages and remember what fascinated me, what I was learning, and who I was becoming at the time.
Still, it would make me genuinely happy if people happen to stop by, read for a while, and leave with a new thought to carry around for the rest of the day.
The card-stock version.
Things I quietly love.
A few small luxuries I've kept around long enough to recommend — skincare, snacks, bags, and more.
