Please give a short bio of yourself for our
readers.
ok. firstly, thank you for interviewing me.
i was born on september 11 (i guess that particular
date would be
remembered by the whole world since this year ... why
should it happened on my birthday??!!!) as the only
child in the family. i still live with my parents in
jakarta, indonesia. dad's retired and mom's a piano
teacher.
i'm addicted to cigarettes and the internet (and
writing my diary at diaryland is a
part of it). i don't work, just spend my parents'
money :P i sleep really late, like 5 am in the morning
and woke up at about 10 am.
i hate cats, milk and egg yolk. but do love ice cream
(pistachio is my fave). i listen mostly to queen,
david foster, barry manilow, bobby caldwell, kenny g.
and some indonesian songs. i love poetry,
both reading and writing. as for novels, i only read
fictions. my fave novelist is sidney sheldon. and for
movies, i love all disneys' (mickey mouse is my idol),
old classical movies like "the sound of music", "mary
poppins", "the king and i".
my biggest goals in life are making my parents happy
and having my own family. i love children and i want
to have some. i've always failed in all of my
relationships. almost got married twice, but then
left. my dream mate is someone out of my race as i
always think that multi-racial people are the most
beautiful people on earth! i myself am a mixed of
chinese, indonesian and my grandpa from dad's side was
from hawaii. no, not telling that i'm beautiful - but
i'm different which is great :o)
one more thing: i prefer lower-case than upper-case
letters. wanna see my "picture"? here
it is ...
Why did you choose this username?
i used my real name in my older diaryland diary, but
that made me felt uneasy most of times. i couldn't
write with full honesty - and worse than that, my ex
kept reading my diary. that's why i didn't continue
writing on that diary and moved here.
i choosed "naked thoughts" as a reflection of my
honesty in my writing. as this diary is more anonymous
- i could read as free as i want, as honest as i
should be, as naked as i am ...
Why do you keep a diary online?
well, as i said - i'm so addicted to the internet. i
don't even know if my handwriting is worse now :o) and
more reasons are: i could share my thoughts and
feelings here, i don't need glue to paste something i
want to put in my diary for the memory's sake
(pictures, tickets, whatever ...), i want other people
learning from my mistakes and faults.
and i thank diaryland for bringing me more new
friends. most are great people. i think that reading
other people's diaries would make us feel close to the
diarists emotionally as we could read their inner
thoughts. it's a privilege, isn't it?
How important do you think a layout is for a
web-based diary? Would you also comment on
yours?
i believe in layout! :o) that's why i just started my
nakedesigns
project. but i think, it's better that each diarist
could do his/her own layout because layout is kinda
reflection of the diarist's personality.
i do change my own diary's layout pretty often. i love
giving my eyes different views :o)
comment on my layout? which one? :o)
yeah, of course i do love my layout, even though maybe
some people would think that i put too many links
there like daily quotes, daily news, my
fortune-telling of the day, etc - but i really want to
put them all there and i read my 'daily' pages daily.
i really do.
my fave one actually is my first
layout. some of my visitors adore it, too - but most
of them were really hard on me and left me lots of
unwanted messages in my guestbook. it's such a
controversial layout. i miss it, but maybe i should
also consider that my diary could be read by the
under-aged, too. if i had a daughter, i wouldn't let
her read a diary who had that kind of layout as well
... :o)
Name one emotion that would best describe your
personality, and share with us why you chose that
particular emotion?
colorful, i guess. i couldn't describe my
personality into one word and i change my emotions
often even though i don't have any split-personality
problem :o) it really depends on the situation i face
at the moment. i can't be too nice or too bad 24/7.
just like other normal people do ...
Naked thought, you share in your diary about you
not understanding why people just can't accept me the
way you for who you are. You say, "Why people only
want to see my 'white' side and don't want to see my
'black' side. are they all saints?" What do you mean
by that? And tell us about your black side?
i used to have all good sayings and little praises
when i do something nice to people, but once i do
those things to them, they keep expecting me to be 'an
angel' all the time. i just can't. i don't have wings,
get real. sometimes i can be very bitchy and sarcastic
too. it's all because i'm way too human.
How important is religion to you in your
life?
i believe that Christianity is not a religion, but
it's all about love. it's not the religion itself that
is the most important part in my life, but 'The Man'
behind the
whole picture Himself (got what i mean?)
but for a life-partner, there's no bargain. he must
has the same faith like i do. i live in the biggest
moslems
country in the world. i've fallen for people from the
other faith often in the past and i know that's not
God wants me to do. i don't want to sadden His heart
and my parents, too.
i
often feel like a hypocrite, though. i could talk
really well about how to be a
good christian and stuff, but i still do things i'm
not supposed to do. i do
smoke (cigarettes), i lie, i swear i get drunk. bad
things. but i believe that
God still loves me, no matter what and how i am. and i
thank Him for that.
so, yes. in short, religion is the pillar of my life.
i owe every single breath of my life to my Maker.
Tell me a funny little secret!
can you
believe that i can't swim and
ride a bicycle?
i once learned riding a bicycle when i was about 10
years old and i made myself fell inside a stinky
gutter. i promise that i don't
want to learn it since then. and if i go to the beach
and wear my bikinis here,
i don't swim at all. i just have myself tanned, that's
all. i only wet myself
there once in a while when i feel really really hot
:o)
