I am long a life learner. I want to know and understand as many things as possible. I just try to practice meditation recently. I love reading. I am friendly, open minded, and easy going. I'm not a picky person. I'm easily pleased. I'm not complaining, I can easily adapt to any kind of situation. I don't smoke. I drink occasionally.

I have travelled to some places in Indonesia: Kalimantan, Papua, Sulawesi, Halmahera, Sumatra, Timor and Flores.
I like reading. I can spend many hours sitting in a library/bookstore reading my favorite books.
I like writing as well, I'm routinely blogging. You can visit my journal:

I am also music lover, I love to watch live music performance. I listen to any genre of music, but I prefer indie music which sounds delicate. On the other side I am a Britpop fans.
I like playing billiard.
