#1 Hello Fifteen Facts


(1) I live in Indonesia, an archipelago country with over 17,000 islands scattered throughout its boundaries. And so they said, it is a nation-state with the largest Muslim-majority population in the world.
(2) My parents were originally Sumatrans, but I spent most of my lifetime growing up in dense Java island.
(3) Due to my late father's career demands, my family had to move from a town to another town for approximately, 6 times.
(4) I have two brothers; an elder brother and a younger brother. I was born a year after my mother gave birth to my elder brother, and later my younger brother was born a week before my 1st birthday.
(5) I already said "I want to be an architect!" to my father since I was in kindergarten, can you believe me?
(6) And yes, I ended up learning architecture in university, when my mother insisted that I should be a doctor, like her.
(7) My biggest love for things would be bestowed to books! I always crave for all kinds of books, both from international and local writers. I read at least 30 pages a day. 
(8) I am happy to see new places. New people. New smiles. New friends.
(9) Mathematics and English are my favorite subjects. Good combination, right? lol
(10) My colleagues say that no matter how huge effort I make to appear mature, I won't be looked like one. Haha. 
(11) Direct and straightforward. That's how actually I am. Some said that as a person I behave too pragmatic, while in my part it's about being realistic.
(12) I have special interest to Indonesia proverb; beautiful and wise words truly they are. 
(13) I am a sleepyhead.
(14) Have once learned photograph in college, but didn't manage to deeply continue learning it, because (Ehm!) I would rather like to be photographed than being a person behind the camera. lol
(15) I share almost every single thing in my life, with my mother. :)

ps. photo was originally taken by her.

A very thoughtful list, Mustika =) I am also a direct and straightforward person but I'm learning how to 'beat around the bush' a little so I don't offend people with my words. I think in the West people like straightforwardness but in Asia the culture is different therefore I have to learn how to adapt lol

Your 15 random thigns just brought me closer to knowing you my dear one or should i say my dear sleephead. *chuckles*

Inshallah, you will be a great & famous architect however i cannot associate with your love for books, I am afraid I am dreamer and when I open a book, my mind just sweeps me away. Its fantasy and poetry that keeps me afloat...I loveyou tons even more for just being such a great family person. I love family
