A little bit about my life. I was born in 1983, 26th of May at Elizabeth Hospital, Medan, North-Sumatera-Indonesia, weighed 3.2 kg and 51 cm in height. I was born naturally with porcelain fair skin and very curly brown-reddish hair and I was already very tall since I was a toddler, so no wonder my height now is 5'9 ;p
Growing up, I didn't take many pictures because I was separated from my parents since I was 5 years old.. My parents were very busy taking care their garment business and they couldn't take care of us (me & little brother) due to their expanding business, so my momma had to take a very hard and sad decision to send us away from their life as they were not ready for children, so they could focus on and work hard for their growing business. Then when I was 5 years old, I was sent to Jakarta to live with my grandma (my dad's mum). I lived with my beloved nanny until I was 18 years old. Once in a year, I flew back home to Medan to visit my parents, that was during school holiday.. When I was 18 years old, my parents sent me off to Malaysia & Australia to pursue my business study. That's where I became so independent of my life!
Growing up without parents was the saddest thing ever, you know kids at school were very nasty and they often bullied me for not having parents, they called me an orphan, although my parents'alive,(just that we were separated), bully went on and on...
I was bullied physically & mentally when I was a little girl and no one there to help me out.. I didn't have someone to defend me.. Luckily everything was over pretty fast, time flew and I grew up! I didn't blame my parents and I respected their decision for doing so!
I was not a pretty girl back then, I had ugly smile, my teeth crooked, my make up was messy! until one day, a very stupid man came and teased me about my teeth, he said something really hurtful, he said I was pretty until I opened my mouth!! At that time, I thought I was very ugly!!
In 2007, after graduating from Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, I came to Singapore to pursue my career in marketing and decided to change my look! I put on BRACES and my crooked teeth were very serious, so I had to wear my braces for 3.5 years. The first two years having braces on, my lips were kind of swollen and my mouth protruded forward so much, and yes, I looked ugly :( then my last year of wearing braces, my mouth shape and lips were much better, my lips were smaller and my mouth was normal (not protruded forward anymore) ^^
In 2011, May, I removed my brace, and viola!!! my face changed!!! my lips were smaller, my chin was sharper, my jawlines were slimmer, and my mouth was deeper and automatically my nose was higher. I looked very fine!!! After that, I learnt about MAKE-UP and making improvement on my make up from time to time and how to enhance my look.. Then I became better and better looking...
I hope my story will inspire you guys. Stop bullying!!! and believe that you are beautiful - inside-out!!!
