Who Am I?

You barely know me. Yes. You might not know me. Yes. You don't even know me. Of course. So let me ask you something Do you WANT to know me more? If the answer is yes, then let me tell you a story. A story from a not-well-known man who wants to break the system of his life. A story of a man who learns his lesson life by his own self. A story about the musical chemist who turns to a socio-entrepreneurial artist. I born in a beautiful country called Indonesia on August 1994. Even if you're an Indonesian, you might not know about this small town named Pangkalan Bun of Central Borneo. This small yet modern town will feast your eyes with its astonishing nature that represents the mutual life between human and animal. Well, enough for these pep-tocs. Let's move to 2004, the year when I moved to Surabaya of East Java. This was the year when I learnt life was not good as it seemed. Without my parents in this city (they still live in Pangkalan Bun now), I was forced to live by my own self since 10 years old. Speaking of which, I was the one who decided to settle up in Surabaya, and I did not have any regret by doing so. I was not a briliant or talented kid. With lacks of experience, including how to have a good appearance, I learnt everything (literally everything) with my own instinct and mind. Yes I lived with My Grand Mother but so little did I get the lesson of life from her since we were not that close. Unluckily, never have I known what was my ability or talent. I was just.. ordinary... Things have changed in 2006, the time when I met someone who showed me what love at first sight was (no more kiddo love story haha). I found of the purpose of life: to love and to be loved. Yeah, even as I child, I had tried to discover the philosophy of life because it was my way to find my path of life. Move to 2009, the year when the climax of my teenage life happened. February 2009, the time when she passed away, the time that created ones of my fundamental principles of life: o Time is the most precious gift from God. o Never delay everything in this life, even tiny seconds worth a count. o Never make a promise you can not keep I searched and explored what was wrong with me. What is the purpose of life. With no love, should I be drown into a deep abyss. Fortunately, I met a subject that created the path of my life at Senior High School: Chemistry. Yes, I felt in love with chemistry. So much in love with it that made me learn by my own self about this subject from the easiest chapter until the hardest chapter only in one year. Therefore, I got lack of social life because I sacrificed my time to pursue something I love. My hard work gave me remarkable results: Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medallions in Chemistry Olympiad from 2011 to 2015. At that time, I thought chemistry would be the path of my life until my last breath. Interestingly, there would be one thing I need to face if I chose this path: money and time. I was forced to know that if I wanted to be a good chemist that had a good income, I needed to live outside Indonesia or I had to leave this path. 2013, the year where I found the key of breaking the poverty: Entrepreneurship. Yes, passive income, asset, investment. Name it and you shall know that to have a great future not just for you, but for the whole family, you need to be an entrepreneur. It what made me confident enough to add Entrepreneurship as the part of my life. Did it go smooth? Of course not! I have generated more than IDR 100 million and also lost more than IDR 100 million as well in my first years. So yeah, you can do the math. Afterward, I tried to rebuilt the basic principle of my business since 2016. It might go slower than it used to. However, I enjoyed it! Because this was my passion! 2013 and 2017, the year when I found one final piece to complete my life: Art. I was so much in love in Music, Photography, and Videography. Interestingly, I found these passions coincidentally! Too shame, I didn't have any experience in any of these beautiful love of life. However, Slowly but surely, I learned all of them one by one. I joined a choir in my university in 2013. That was the time when I found a buried passion within me: Music. Yeah, If I have more time in the future, I would really like to be able in playing piano, guitar, and violin.

I made a list of things I want to achieve before I die in 2017. It somehow showed the deep reflection of my desire in exploring this world. I could manage things I want to do and achieve not just within this one year, but until 20 years in the future. Yeah folks! If you want to design your future, you shall create your own list consisted of 100 things you wanna do before you die!

YouTube (or Social Media) is one pivotal thing I have to manage to connect all these things together. I started my own YouTube channel on June 2017 and this decision unlocked the path for me in learning music, photography, and videography more and more!  Well, actually you can observe by yourself the change of my social media life from a normal profile into a more public profile. I combine my gallery, video, digital art, and lesson of life there.

I guess I'm starting to mumbling around so I need to stop this story right here.

This is just a glimpse of the surface of my story. If you want to know me more, you know what you have to do :)

In summary, I was once a normal kid who unquestionably experienced an unimaginably story that lead me to who I am right now, with the power of love.

I was once a person who loves chemistry so much. When I know the ugly truth of life, I was forced to see everything to every perspective possible.

That's me, An Observer.

A passionate man who loves to motivate and inspire people to spread the kindness to the world,

through the power of education, entrepreneurship, and art,

and most importantly, by the power of love.
