Late to the party - sorry - but here's my contribution to the Thank the Creatives Thursday... with some appreciation of Shaun's directing style

I love the framing of these shots. The first one is just perfectly photographic in the way its lit and framed and reinforces the theme of Morse's isolation from the world (as with the opening shot of him alone on the bench in Christchurch meadow). There's a lot of shots in this episode which reinforce that sense of isolation.

The second one is again beautifully set within the arches but more specifically I adore the reflections in the window. Its perfectly framed and lit to enable you to see the scene from both angles at once and it reflects the dialogue in the scene and the sense that we aren't seeing everything as its meant to be

And finally another beautifully framed shot through a doorway (he uses architecture a lot in his directing... almost as an additional character). The way the light captures them and puts them almost into shadow and the large black imposing door is just perfect. Another shot that could stand alone as a photograph

It’s sloth is in long ass meeting season again, so have a Christchurch Meadow painting based on a pic I took in Oxford.

Menulis

Waow sudah lama sekali saya nggak update karena kehidupan sangat dinamis.

Mau rekap dan bersyukur dulu saja kepada Allah SWT karena diberi kesibukan yang sungguh membuat pusing dan stres, tapi minimal jadi nggak galau apa itu makna kehidupan kalau lagi galau banget gini:

Weekend kemarin Sabtu nggak ngapa-ngapain beres kelas SMA16. Kayanya lanjut nonton apa ya? Lupa juga. Karaokean DAY6 apa yah. Terus jalan ke center sorean ba’da Ashar buat beli saos ABC, kelengkeng, ke Waterstones beli giftcard Kak Kaca, beli kopi dan sabun, dan ditutup dengan jajan YiFang.

Minggu setelah kelas 16 ada call sama angkatan GEA 11! Bahas UKT mahal banget, belajar banyak sih tentang… well, mostly pertanyaan yang keluar tapi betulan jadi banyak banget pertanyaan yang muncul (yang bisa dicari jawabannya) seperti:

kenapa kita ganti sistem jadi UKT dari yang dulu pas jaman kita kuliah uang pangkal aja di depan terus semesteran Rp 5 juta/semester

kenapa LPDP gaada buat S1, cuma buat S2 dan S3 doang

apakah sistem loan untuk kuliah seperti di UK dan US itu adalah yang paling bagus

gimana Jerman dan Perancis bisa ngegratisin SPP kuliah S1 atau minimal murah banget lah ya, jawabannya ternyata adalah tax money.

Kami semua (yang dateng 4-5 orang dari 87 orang, wow gaada 5% bahkan) gaada yang tahu jawabannya karena bukan expertise kita, but that’s what discussion are for kan. Tetap sangat senang karena sudah menyempatkan diri untuk hadir.

Di awal-awal sebelum mulai diskusi juga Adis sempat nanyain si Repsol udah produce natural hydrogen, jadi sempat membuatku baca lagi artikel-artikel natural hydrogen itu occurrence-nya gimana.

Habis dari diskusi, ke ulang tahun Kak Kaca, untungnya tetangga, masih sama-sama di Castle Mill kami. I had so much fun bertemu Rashid, Najlaa, makan nasi kuning juga. My heart was full lah pokoknya. Dari situ ke city, ketemu Deva bentar, terus lanjut jjs (jalan-jalan sore) ke Christchurch Meadow. Dilanjut ngopi (decaf) dan makan cake sambil baca di Endorphin. Ku tertarik banget sama koleksi-nya Endorphin kemarin baca salah satu bukunya studentnya Hawkings tapi sangat pusing dan gangerti akhirnya ku berhenti setelah chapter 1.Habis itu pulang! Di rumah dilanjut meeting prep untuk acara buka bersama nanti tanggal 23 Maret.

3. The whole week before: Jumat ke Royal Holloway! Sangat senang juga karena sangat produktif. Diskusi banyak sama Alex dan berhasil pinjam InfraRed Thermometer! Ku juga berhasil nge-vacuum seal 11 tubes, WHICH WERE A LOT, tapi karena skill-nya sudah ke-build dan confidence-nya juga sudah ada, itu semua selesai dalam 2 jam saja including packing.

4. Kamis di lab sampai malem karena nyiapin sampel: dari nyuci carius tubes, ngeringin tubes, masukin sample ke tubes, packing. Mayan efektif sih dan CAPEK.

5. Senin-Rabu lupa ngapain aja tapi kayanya nyiapin buat sealing di Jumat juga. Dan juga ngerjain manuscript gak ya(?) Lupa-lupa inget. Ku gak sabar menyelesaikan semua 24hour opening supaya bisa langsung fokus nulis ke manuscript ke 2.

Oh inget deng dikit! Senin-nya tuh aku mulai kerja baru sore karena paginya ngopi dulu sama Deva di Westgate wkwkw, terus dilanjut lunch makan Ji sama Mbak Shofi (dia mau apply PhD), Iris, dan Mbak Jessica. Seru banget ngobrolnya.

6. Minggu kemarinnya lagi: Sabtu ke London! Ulang tahunnya Shivanky. Kukasih dia hadiah giftcard Waterstones juga (wkwkw sangat tidak creative ya Noni ini). Ku beli di Waterstones yang depan Trafalgar Square. Ku senang banget ketemu sama teman-temannya Shiv (yang adalah super smart ambitious typical Oxford graduates lah ya) dan kami ngomongin banyak hal. We talked in Tate Modern, took some nice pictures over the Millenium Bridge, then lanjut makan Jollibee di Leicester Square. Itu Jollibee perdana aku HUHU SANGAT ENAK.

7. Hari Minggu-nya nggak ngapa-ngapain cuma siang getting susu di Sainsbury’s Jericho. Terus malamnya formal dinner KE-TIGA DI MINGGU ITU! Di Exeter sama Deva dan Aji. Sangat seru juga sih karena pertama kali mengajak Deva formal’s and we did talk about a lot of things.

8. Week yang sebelum itu ngapain yah. OH. LAGI DEMOTIVATED BANGET KERJA. Itu tuh habis dapet kiriman comments dari Alex dan tinggal kurapikan aja sebetulnya. Jumatnya ngerjain Lumex kayanya sama Joost, terus lanjut lunch Comptoir Libanais sama Bu Yani. Kamisnya, pagi, aku ke Nizami Ganjavi buat cari-cari buku belajar baca Korea, terus siangnya lanjut ke Westgate Library (LANJUT BELAJAR BAHASA KOREA), dan lanjut ngobrol di G&D depan Christchurch sama Hanif. Habis itu ada formal dinner Graduate High Table. Ku ga banyak ngobrol sama siapa-siapa, mostly Mas Felix aja di samping. Rabu di RUMAH SEHARIAN. Selasa WFH juga cuma sorean ke Lung Wah Cong beliin Deva kecap ABC dan ke Black Sheep. Senin juga WFH dan sorean ke Cohen Quad lanjut ke Exeter buat formal Subject Family Dinner. FIUH.

9. Weekend sebelumnya lagi: Sabtu jalan jauh ke Cowley setelah random di Westgate dan Sasi’s. Minggunya pengajian ku ngisi tausiyah tapi payah karena kurang prep but it is okay.

UDAH DEH. Balik lagi ke post terakhir yang gabisa kerja ituu. WOWWW. Itu literally di atas adalah rekapan selama 3 minggu. Sangat banyak hal yang terjadi sesungguhnya. AND I MET SO MANY PEOPLE??? Harus disyukuri dan SEMANGAT NONI sedikit lagi perjalanannya!!! Fighting!

Reasons Behind the Popularity of Arthurs Pass

Located in the heart of the Southern Alps of New Zealand, Arthurs Pass is recognized as an iconic destination that fascinates tourists with beautiful landscapes, rich history, and stunning biodiversity. Whether you're a nature lover, an adventure lover or a person who prefers to explore historical destinations, Arthurs Pass has something to offer everyone. The major contributor behind its popularity is the Arthurs Pass Train, also known as the Tranz Alpine. This train is known as one of the best trains in the world and is recommended as one of the to-do activities while travelling to New Zealand.

This post highlights the reasons behind the popularity of Arthus Pass as a must-visit destination in New Zealand.

1. Breathtaking Scenic Beauty: One of the primary reasons behind the popularity of Arthurs Pass is the abundance of its natural beauty. It is mainly famous for its alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and deep river gorges, making it a paradise for photographers. It would be interesting to know that the beauty of Arthurs Pass changes according to the weather. In winter, most of the area is covered with snow, whereas in summer, the alpine meadows are covered by wildflowers creating a mesmerizing view of the visitors. The best way to explore the beauty of the region is through the Arthurs Pass Train. The train moves across the Southern Alps, with panoramic windows, offering travellers a front-row seat to one of the most stunning stretches of scenery in the world. The journey takes passengers through tunnels, over high viaducts, and alongside sparkling rivers, giving them an unmatched experience of New Zealand's wilderness.

2. Rich History and Heritage: Arthurs Pass isn’t just a place with an abundance of natural elements,  it also has a rich history behind its existence.  It is named after Arthur Dudley Dobson, an early surveyor who discovered this mountain pass. The area has played a big role in the economic development of New Zealand, especially in the development of the railway network. The construction of the railway line and the Otira Tunnel, one of the longest tunnels in the world at the time of its completion, were monumental achievements in engineering. While travelling in train, the visitors are also told about the challenges workers faced while extracting out a passage through such a difficult area.

3. Abundance of Outdoor Activities: Arthurs Pass is no less than a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The national park offers a variety of activities, including hiking, rock climbing, and skiing. Some of the most popular walking trails, such as the Bealey Spur Track, provide stunning views of the Waimakariri River valley and the surrounding mountains. The Devil's Punchbowl Waterfall is another major attraction of Arthurs Pass. As the Arthurs Pass is located in the middle of both the East and West Coasts it is equally visited by the people of both regions.

4. Flora and Fauna: Another reason why Arthurs Pass is the preferred destination among visitors is the presence of flora and fauna found in the region. The national park is home to native bird species such as the kea, an alpine parrot known for its intelligence and curious nature. During your visit to the National Park, you will also find a huge variety of plant species, including the Mountain Daisy and Buttercup, which thrive in the high-altitude environment. Arthurs Pass provides an educational opportunity for those interested in botany, as it offers them an opportunity to learn about plants grown in rough conditions.

5. Accessibility and Convenience: Despite its remote location, Arthurs Pass is highly accessible, especially with the availability of the Arthurs Pass Train. The TranzAlpine service connects Christchurch on the east coast to Greymouth on the west coast, making Arthurs Pass a convenient stop for those looking to experience the Southern Alps without the need to drive. The train journey, which takes about five hours in total, is often considered one of the world’s greatest train rides, and it’s an experience in itself.

6. Tranquility: Arthurs Pass is the heaven for peace lovers. Where most of the tourist destinations in New Zealand are surrounded by a huge crowd, Arthurs Pass offers a feel of isolation and serenity that’s hard to find elsewhere. Whether you’re on a quiet hike or simply enjoying the scenery from the train, Arthurs Pass provides the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Conclusion: The stunning landscapes, rich history, outdoor activities, unique wildlife, and the presence of the Arthurs Pass Train are some reasons that play a vital role in the popularity of Arthurs Pass. For anyone planning a trip to New Zealand, this national park is a destination that offers a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. Whether you're there for a day trip or an extended stay, Arthurs Pass promises an unforgettable experience.

My work began from intense introspection followed by retrospection and reflection which brought on intense feelings of nostalgia. The starting point for this was attending a concert for the band The 1975 in February. The band was one of the first I had a real affinity with when I was first developing my taste in music, some 10 years ago. Following this, I would indulge in nostalgic British daytime TV of the likes of Wife Swap, Supersize vs Superskinny, Snog Marry Avoid, Sun Sex and Suspicious Parents and Don’t Tell the Bride. My takings from this, aside from an increased fascination in the era where I was a child was that these television shows are platforms for the misogyny ingrained in traditional UK family dynamics as well as the shaming of and erasure of individuality. This helps to further shape my association with the 2000s as a scandalous and wild time in which I grew up.

Inspired by the trends and fashion of both men and women in the shows I was watching, I began to adapt my style to reflect the time I existed in mentally. I began to daydream about my childhood - the grey dreariness of the 2000s TV felt almost dystopian and devoid of colour. I found this conflicted with the source material of many of my memories (the Christchurch meadow swimming pool, princess dresses, trinkets, plastic makeup, bratz dolls)

In Christchurch (NZ), they have developed a wildflower meadow in North Hagley Park.

I took Digby Doggo for a visit.

First run of the year. Greyish. River brown and full and boring. But I still managed it. Not bad for first efforts after 2 months of nothing (personal circs hammered one a tad)

First fall over too! Bit of a grazed knee but nothing too bad so far. Smeared all the scraped bits in Sudacrem and hoping for healing soonest.

Christchurch Meadows, Oxford

[yourlocalfaerie]

Some Oxford snowbaz date ideas. (I live here sometimes. I’d know)

the science museum

the ashmolean museum - it’s basically for art (they do brunch on the roof)

the museum of natural history

the storybook museum

botanical gardens

sometimes there’s a market on Broad Street

crazy golf (it’s called the Junkyard Golf Club and it’s insane)

picnic in university parks (uni parks)/ port meadow/ Christchurch meadow

punting (it’s boat stuff. I really can’t explain it better)

playhouse (a personal favourite, it’s cheap and the ones that are performed by students are rather good). There’s a large playhouse that fits a couple hundred and a small playhouse that fits 50 round the corner.

The Sheldonian theatre (that’s more opera/ orchestra type stuff than plays)

The “oldest” coffee shop in the UK or to spice things up, the “oldest” tea shop in the UK which is just across the road (Literally). I’m sceptical as to whether they are truly the oldest.

Bookshops (Waterstones, Blackwells) blackwells has a massive basement full of books, I love it. There’s also some smaller bookshops obviously.

Tour the historical prison ?? I’m running out of ideas.

There are ghost tours around the city but that’s just tourist stuff.

Magdalen Deer Park

There’s at least 2 board game cafes I know about.

(I shall keep thinking)
