I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia but moved to Singapore when I was 8 years old for a better education. Later, I moved again to Seattle to go to UW and has not moved since.

Looking back, I felt blessed to have the opportunities to go to different countries not only for studies but having the chance interacting with people from diverse backgrounds and learning about their different cultures. It's hard to be apart from family (I will not want this kind of life for my own children :)). However, because of that I came to know Christ when I was in Singapore and my life was forever changed.

I love Seattle and thank God for the awesome biblical teachings that I have been exposed to. I also learned to appreciate the rain and the sun, the beautiful green trees and the mountains! Sometimes, I still miss home - the white sandy beaches, the turquoise blue waters...and the "street" food!

What I hope to accomplish in my life time? Nothing grand or big, I just want to do what I was predestined to finish in this short life. (by God's grace!)
This quote from Frederick Buechner basically sums it all.
"The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
