Music
I love jazz and I enjoy every kind of music especially local music. Last time when I travel in Iran I find out they have really good music and they really appreciate all their classical music.

I love classic music from my country and Indonesia. P Ramlee, Broery Marantika, Sharifah Aini, and many more.

Movies
Wild, into the wild, the way and many more.

My favorite author is Sidney Sheldon and Ramli Awang Murshid. And when traveling I read lot of book but my prefer genre is thriller.
