My Autobiography...

My life is like a slice of cake. I’ve always had it good, from day one. I’ve lived an easy and enjoyable life that started on the 4^th of July 1999. Born in a small city of Solo, Java, Indonesia, I’ve always had Indonesian culture around me. I have lived in Bali ever since I was 1 years old and started at my school, AIS, from 2002-current. Being born a mixed child, half Indonesian half Australian, with Italian background, I’ve experienced many different things in life from many different cultures.

I have 2 brothers who have always been on my back, taking any opportunities to annoy me, although I’ve always had a great relationship with my family. We lived in this huge house with lots of rooms and I loved playing hide and seek with my brothers and friends. During Easter my dad bought chocolate Easter eggs and hid them all around the house, and we had Easter hunts that went on for hours. I guess you could call my family adventurous as we always went on long trips, having picnics, and being on the beach a lot as my dad use to be a fanatic surfer. As a young child I was very creative and loved to do art, creating bracelets and decorating everything. I was also very adventurous and loved long walks in the rice fields with my big brother, getting lost and finding secrete hide outs.

We loved traveling, my family, and exploring the world. That is what led me to my first big trip in 2007. We flew to America and stayed with one of my dad’s friends in Los Angeles. It was a fun trip and an amazing experience. We were also very fortunate to be able to travel around Europe, counting 4 trips already. We love history, seeing and exploring the world, observing the old buildings, statues, etc. during long trips on the plane I loved listening to music, which is one of the major things in my life.

I loved music, loved singing from a very young age. When I was 11 years old I got my very own piano, and started taking lessons for both piano and singing. That became my passion till today and I constantly sing, taking all the opportunities to perform even though I’ve always been shy. Singing is my hobby; its what makes me happy. There’s not a day that goes past without me using my vocal cords and my family always tells me to be quite because of how much I sing. I loved joining school productions and performances as well, even though I lack in self-confidence.

So far, my life has been great and very enjoyable. With in the 15 years of my life, I have experienced so much and have already created so many memories. I’ve traveled to so many places, seeing and learning many new things. Life is a beautiful thing. Be happy with what you have and enjoy every moment.
