About Me

CURRENT MISSION

broadening my knowledge as far as I can, especially through travelling and cultural exchange!

ABOUT ME

I love to see and understand new things. It is amazing for me that by changing your perspective, you could change your entire understanding of the world. That's why I am so eager to meet new people, especially those who have completely different culture and background from mine, to see the world through their perspectives.

I also love to voice out my opinion on the topic that I have thought about before, but I would prefer to keep quite and listen to others if I feel unfamiliar with the topic.

For me, travelling without accompanies is not a fulfilling travelling. What I appreciate the most when I am travelling is the conversation with the people, especially the locals, to really understand the culture and history of the place that I am visiting.
Nevertheless, I do love visiting tourism spots and tasting local cuisines too!

My basic information: I am going to turn 21 soon, and already in a committed relationship with this cute & handsome guy, my boyfriend. I have 2 younger siblings who stay with my parents in my hometown. And I have a bunch of best & good friends in Singapore. (and I miss all of them now!)

PHILOSOPHY

"Forgive my rudeness, but to hide your true self and make a vain display; I think that's just running away from reality. To know what you are really like, and acknowledge it, a positive thinking of enjoying yourself€, isn't that what true strength is?" - Suou, Tamaki.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoyed fantasy movies especially The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, etc.
I also love complex and intricate movies such as movies that are directed by Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Prestige.
Action movies always attract my attention, especially when it is about heist attempt or secret missions. Fast and Furious Series, Mission Impossible, Ocean Eleven (12&13 too!), The Italian (or any other countries) Job, and alike.
And sometimes I would be so sentimental to crave for romance movies and it's no doubt for me to put Titanic at the first place of my list of best romance movies. But I also enjoy more relaxed romance movies like Bride Wars, Easy A, The Proposal; or even ones that are based more on teenagers theme, Princess Protection Program, High School Musicals.
Well, basically, I can enjoy a whole range of movies, except horror/thriller!
:)

I also have a rather wide range of interest in music, classical, pop, r&b. I can enjoy most of them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time after I watch a movie, I would feel awestruck (well, sometimes depending on the movies) as if I just stepped out from the world presented in the movie.

Teach, Learn, Share

I do not master any specific skill, or I would say I have not found my talent yet.
But I can teach my mother tongue language, Bahasa (Indonesia), and maybe just a little bit of Mandarin (Chinese).

Countries I’ve Visited

Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In

Indonesia, Netherlands, Singapore
