Hello everyone... whoever and wherever you are,
I'm Firebomber (nickname) made this blog as a way to express myself.
Feel free to read if you don't mind, I don't bite :p
But let me warn you, my English are kinda strange... so please forgive me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tried to take a photo of myself...
First of all, I'd like to start with my past from my point-of-view.
I was born in Jakarta, October 1985 from Chinese parents and I have one big brother and two big sisters. I grew up in a family of high standard although my family is rather on the average, so there is a lot of pressure especially to me as the youngest. My parent told me a lot to "Act more like your brother" or "Study more like your sister" or anything on that line. I was being compared with my brother and sister even thought I'm STILL an elementary student while my bro and sis are high schoolers?! I found it hard to cope, so I tends to give up and find the easier way to please others.
I find myself able to draw much better than my brother and sister, so I keep training and improving my drawing skills but when I reached the 6th grade I met a kid who draws better than I do. I was kinda jealous and irritated at the same time, but I tried to make friend with that guy and tries to steal his skill but in the end we become good friends even now.
Back in junior high school, I started becoming mischievous. I come home late at night, had a sleepover at friends home without calling home, playing at arcade until morning, and other mischievousness. Around that time, I also begin to knows about multiplayer gaming and modelling (But that only after I reached 9th grade).
I started a new hobby of building gunpla (Gundam Plastic Model) thanks to my friend's influence, also playing console games (Play Station 1 at that moment) and multiplayer games (there's only Counter Strike back then). I started spending more money on leisure since I have leftover anyway...
Forgot to mention the changes in my pocket money, I used to receive around 500 rupiahs (about 5 cent with today's currency), then I receives more when I reached middle school for about 10.000 rupiahs (roughly around 1 USD). With 10 thousand, I can spend only 5000 on meals and save 5000 each days. With that, I can spend more on hobbies...
After I graduated from high school, I was planning to take a course then straight to work but my father suddenly came to me one day and says "Lets go to the 'x' university! I already applied you there!", I was dumb-struck... so I had no other choice but to follow orders and scraps my plan (One sample of a child never wanted the same thing as the parent does).
Therefor, I was accepted to a university (even thought I didn't put any answer on the tests), but because I didn't wish for it, I also didn't have the will to go through the univ's life. So I was dropped out on the 3rd semester due to lack of points (I also missed classes a lot).
Then, I tried on many straight jobs, MLM, etc. But my personality that has build up prevent me from becoming successful and I stopped half-way. By going back and forth in many jobs, I receive lots of information. About currency, distribution channel, customs, agriculture, etc. I learned that even in failure, we still gain something valuable.
Now, the story has gone too long so I'll stop here and continue it next time... -__-'''
