Life as i know it
Indonesia
Growing up in Indonesia had both its ups and downs. Living in an Asian country where poverty and wealth stood next to eachother. Where both the rich and the poor would live together - creating jealousy, riots, anger. I, unfortunantly was seperated from the rest of the people and became one of the 'rich' ones. Living in a big house, with 2 maids and 2 drivers that catered to my every need. I had everything a young girl could ever want, yet i always needed more. I started working with NGO's doing as much as i could to help those in need.
England
I moved to England with my mother in August 2008, living in the largest town, Huddersfield. The move was hard as i had only lived in one other country before. Living in England made me see different things - People living equaly, No poverty. It was a good change as i was so used to the idea of seeing a poor man begging on the streets every time i went outside. England has also given me more opportunities with my Photography and my Artwork which is great. I have just finished my GCSE's at Honley High School and in September will be attending Greenhead College in Huddersfield, to take: Art, Literature, Philosophy and Sociology. Hopefully these subject will bring me better understanding to Photography and Art to where i will take Photography at University in two years time.
Interests
I am mainly interested in Photography - fashion, war, nude, landscapes. Anything that catches my eye. I'm also interested in Art, i love to paint and draw although some of my drawings aren't up to scratch. I love Movies - Music - Love and Life.
My favorite movie will have to be, Shawshank Redemption. One of Morgan Freeman's Best work.
I love to listen to Alternative music such as Jacks Mannequin and Sister Hazel. I also like to listen to the electronic works of Underworld and Mas.
