There he is: the epitome of a simple boy. Yellow skin color, dark hair; slanting, coy brown eyes underneath long lashes. Born as an IBC (Indonesian Born Chinese). I grew up in an extended household deeply entrenched in conservative insignificant Chinese culture. I was hence never encouraged either to read or to speak Mandarin. My life is so complicated, full of experiences. I perceive the world to be in balance. There is always equilibrium -- in everything, good and bad exists together. In fact, now I see my life as a continual search for new challenges by moving to San Francisco, CA. My keen love for learning Medicine bolsters me to be motivated. Although, sometimes it hurts, because life is not as easy as what I think it is. I believe in reality whereas "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Nevertheless, I also believe that there is always way to make these dreams come true.
