About

Hailing from Bandung, West Java capital whereas Asia African Conference was held in 1955. It’s nothing fancy in my childhood, couldn’t say I wasn’t happy either. Mom is a kind-hearted yet already broken woman. She wasn’t happy with the marriage but accepted the task of rearing children without saying a word. With devotion, she took care of me and my little sister for that I’m feeling everlasting grateful. She kept saying that actually she got married with dad as a way to distance her with her mom, who mistreated her. Grandma was passed away when I was very little so I didn’t know her personally. Mom got mixed feelings about grandma but she always said no matter how bad your parent is, you must show filial piety, that the child has responsibility to take care the parent when he or she grows old and weak.

Dad is a very honest businessman, he is a very determined and strong both physique and mentality, rather stern with his family in the past and gradually getting soft in his 60th. Though our way of thinking is poles apart and he is often viewed as a strange person with quirk personality but deep in my heart I love and adore him more than anyone. He is actually my superhero, the pillar of our family. Honesty and being kind are the most upholded values in our family those two are defended with all cost by the member of our family.

Mom was very protective to me and siblings wanted all of us to become successful people in the future. She didn’t want us to be like her, being trapped in marriage and couldn’t get away. Therefore she let us to study hard and took us to private school. Mom let three of us study piano, and had my sisters attended ballet course. I felt dictated because I didn’t already know what was the purpose of all of these. It seemed that mom always had  a design for my life. Protesting, I fell behind in my study. During primary and junior high school, I always ranked first from the bottom. I didn’t care always came back late from school, after playing soccer with friends. I said to myself, don’t worry about life because mom always has the final word for it. I don’t even have to study hard because it seems that school always goes easy on me.

.

Later during senior high school second year, I was startled when the principal told me that I didn’t go through. the news had broken mom heart and she went into tears. I regretted and vowed I would have studied hard next year. Next year I managed to have the highest overall score in my class and ranked fifth in the following year. It came to my realization that actually it only took minimal effort to excel if we pay attention.

.

Later on, I began to seek knowledge actively without being told what to do, my passion grows on anything, especially on human relationships. I took psychology major  during my undergraduate program. Though I didn’t manage to graduate, I don’t stop learning on human interaction, the difference in man and woman, body language and so on. I also have passion on language and anything spiritual even dabbled in Buddhism, tarot reading and a bit of astrology. I am also a musical person, have a differentiated taste to music and would like to continue to learn musical instrument one day.  My sisters both are artists, a ballerina and violist. I am blessed and feel fortunate to have such a loving family. I wish I can make them proud of me.
