about

My name is Alien.

Yes. It is Alien, as in “Alien and UFO“.
It is taken from my dad’s name, which my parents twisted and turned.
The result? I have one very unique name.

I was born exactly 198 years after the France’s Bastille Day.
Therefore, my birthday is hugely celebrated each year in France.

I am, proudly, from Indonesia and currently living in Jakarta.

I have traveled to more than 100 cities in 26 countries.

Yet, I would like to be old and die in my own country.

I have a pair of parents and a younger sister.
They are my true love.

My favorite color is black (hence the blog’s theme).
I tend to complain a whole lot, but try my hardest to avoid bragging (hence the blog’s posts).

I am writing in both English and Bahasa Indonesia, my mother tongue.
The reason of using two languages is, I think, because some stories are better told in one language or the other.
Maybe, when I master any other language, I will write in that particular language, as well.

I have been learning English since I was 8 year-old.
However, my English is far-far away from perfect.
So, if you find stupid spelling mistakes and unacceptable grammar error, please be kind.

And my Bahasa Indonesia, just do not think about copying and pasting it into Google Translate, because I usually do not write in proper Bahasa Indonesia. The translation would just be a train wreck.

I have a little bit interest in so many things.
It is hard for me to find a particular one that I am most interested about.
By writing this, I, hopefully, can narrow them down until I reach to my true passion.

By the way, this blog is proudly supported by my DEAREST friend Samuel Simon.
He is the BEST friend I could ever asked, since before this blog is publicly launched, he already humiliated me (hint: sarcasm).
However, THANK YOU, eng! I am, indeed, forever in debt to you!!!
