About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making New Friends :)

ABOUT ME

Im a very Bubly Friendly person. I come from a big family. Im the oldest out of 5 siblings. I have two siblings living in California (lucky they were born there) and two siblings living in Yogyakarta with my parents. I have spent my childhood for 7 years in Reseda, Los Angeles. I lived in Cianjur which is a very small city attending my junior and high school years. I moved to Bandung to attend my university and lived another 3 years working there.
When I was in university, I joined a debating club (but trust me i love peace). Being a member of it gave me so many oppurtunities to travel in Indonesia (Lampung, Malang, Bali, Semarang, Cirebon, Yogyakarta, Purwakarta, and Makasar). I was also lucky to participate in an internationl debating championship which was held in Monash, Australia. Best part of this all was that the university and other generous donators covered the expenses. hahaha

I just got a job in Sanur but I live in Kuta. I have been in Bali for three weeks. So I'm a newbie in Bali.

I don't want to describe my personalities here because it'll seem to be one of those profile date :p But dont worry I don't have any criminal records.

PHILOSOPHY

Share and Care.. Treat People The Way you Like to Be Treated! This always helps me to stay humble

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some friends and I conducted an activity in Lembang as an attempt to promote religion tolerance. We collected second handed goods from students who are christians and donated it to students who are moslems. It was very heart breaking to know how children are shaped by their families or environment to see differences as a threat. However through that actvity, many potential disputes of different religions can be prevented by proper early education,
