Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live the life to the fullest and get a life-changing experience by meeting new people. I also want to beat my father's hiking records by climbing more than 20 mountains located in Indonesia and overseas.
ABOUT ME
A final year management student who sometimes questions her choice of study. Loves playing any kind of games during her spare time and right now is on the way to create her own game. Likes reading English novels; it's the way she learns English more.
She enjoys walking a lot and visiting new places. Prefers mountains to beach and dreams to beat her father's hiking record by climbing more than 20 mountains during her entire life. Wants to travel around Asia-Australia in 2013, Europe in 2014 and America in 2015. And maybe, if God permits, she will also travel around Antarctica in 2016.
Personality wise, she's the type who's shy and silent during early conversation but can't stop talking once the conversation drifts to topics that catch her interest. She has a witty sense of humor; loves to throw snarky remarks. Basically like a kinder, more patient and talkative female version of Snape without greasy hair (except during bad hair days) and lingering fumes of potions. :)
PHILOSOPHY
When faced with difficult obstacles and tight schedule, people can exert effort more than they can imagine, and achieve mindblowing result (basically a philosophy of a deadliner like me).

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies:
I admit that I'm an unusual woman as I despise romantic movies (will never see one unless they have great plot and humor) and love science-fiction, horror and fantasy movies. Yet no matter the genre, once it goes cliche, I will stop watching it. Currently I'm hooked with The Hobbits, Person of Interest, Game of Thrones, Suits, Green Arrow, Grimm, Natsume Yuujinchou and Leverage. NCIS, CSI, Numb3rs, Law and Order are old time favorites; I'd never miss watching any episodes if I could. I also enjoy watching Hayao Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai's masterpieces and shonen animes.
Music:
Ebiet G. Ade, Guruh Soekarnoputra, Jubing Kristanto, Depapepe, Sakanaction and other J-rock bands, Florence + The Machine, Woodkid, Passion Pit, Kalafina, Coeur de Pirate, Perfume, Yiruma, Celldweller, Sorea, The xx, MGMT, Foster the People and Tembang Kenangan (old Indonesian music) sung by various artists.
Books:
Sherlock Holmes series, Agatha Christie novels staring Hercule Poirot and Mr. Quinn and all H. G. Wells novels. I also enjoy reading shonen mangas like Naruto, Bleach, Kuroko no Basket, Kekkaishi, R2 and so on.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Thrift shopping! First done in 2010 and now I'm hooked! I prefer thrift shopping to buying cheap knock-offs as sometimes, if you're lucky and patient enough to browse the entire vintage market, you can get original (yet secondhand) branded stuffs with very low price. And Pasar Senen is the paradise for thrift shopper in Jakarta!
