CURRENT MISSION

do things that make me feel alive. and travel. :D

ABOUT ME

I am an Indonesian who is currently living in Leiden, the Netherlands for one year. this is actually the perfect time for me to travel as much as possible around Europe and I want to to meet new people (and of course to make friends) and experience new things.

If there is one thing I can say about me, I am flexible. I adapt really easily, and I am an open minded person. most of my friends would consider me as a pretty "random" person because of my flexibility. but i think the more you experience life, the more you become tolerant to new things.

When it comes to music, I dont really have one genre that i prefer. My favourite band is Green Day. not that i'm into punk-rock so much, because i listen to various types of music. i enjoy jazz, rock n' roll, sometimes rock or pop, and classic as well. so, it's a little bit of everything. Other musicians that I love so much are the Beatles and Amy Winehouse, but believe me, i practically listen to anything (and everything!).

i always feel like i had been living quite boring life. not that i dont get to meet people, but i have been living day-to-day routines i don't really enjoy anymore. so when i was 28, i felt like i needed to spice my life a bit: i came up with list of things i have to do by-30. not the ambitious and high-achievement stuff, more like fun and random stuff to do. btw, since this is my first list, i put on quite simple things to do in the list (within 2 years), which are getting a tattoo, paragliding, skydiving, and going to the Netherlands for master degree.

got the tattoo on June 2011, went paragliding April 2012, currently a master student in Leiden University.. I did the skydive at Spain on 27 January 2013, so basically the before-30 bucket list is complete. Now i am working on the before-40 bucket list :)

PHILOSOPHY
