"I really enjoy the fun life in Sydney eventough i still miss my life in Paris and Jakarta.."


Q: What’s your activity now?
A: Holidays and studying


Q: What major are you taking in University of New South Wales (UNSW)?
A: International business


Q: Why do you choose that?
A: Why not? It’s a wide and general field. Because I don’t know specifically yet what kind of profession I will take.


Q: Don’t you want to play a movie again?
A: I enjoy acting, but I feel I’m not talented at it. For me a movie player is not for long-term profession.


Q: What’s the last movie you watched?
A: I haven’t been watching movies for a while. But the last movie I enjoy is Control, an English movie about Joy Division band.


Q: What book are you reading now?
A: A Happy Death by Albert Camus


Q: Do you enjoy your study?
A: Yes I do. As long as I know what my professors want, what they expect from me. And keep finding out about this.


Q: What major did you take in Sorbonne?
A: English major. Not only learning about the literature, but also about the civilization and the history of British colonies.


Q: What’s the difference between Sydney and Paris?
A: When in Paris, I miss Sydney. Sydney is a relaxing city especially with its Bondi beach. Paris is more hectic and stressful, it can be seen on the people’s faces, the crowd, and how they shout at each other.


Q: What makes you missing Paris?
A: The times when I walk there. No matter how long you live in Paris, you can be lost then you found the new streets. I also like its beautiful buildings and how the seasons change.


Q: Then how do you feel about Jakarta?
A: Jakarta is my home, a place where I grew up. My family also lives in Jakarta.


Q: What do you do when you’re in Sydney and missing Jakarta?
A: Make a call on mom and dad, and trying to enjoy Sydney whenever I can.


Q: While you’re not studying, what do you do around Sydney?
A: Go to art galleries, and good festivals and concerts.



Q: What kind of music do you like?
A: Various. One of the bands I like now is Arcade Fire from Canada. They had concerts in Sydney twice while I’m in Jakarta at the moment. Uh, so sad I couldn’t watch it.


Q: When you’re having night out with your friends, how do you put make up?
A: I put lip balm, mascara and blush-on.


Q: Why do you cut your hair that short?
A: Because I’d been long wanted it that way.


Q: Do you feel pretty?
A: What I think when I see myself in the mirror, oh that’s me. Not feel bad, not feel pretty. Just feel looking at myself.


Q: Do you feel comfortable with yourself?
A: Life has its ups and downs. When I’m down, I call my friends or close relatives, because they know me the best, they know how to comfort me the best, telling when we make mistakes sweetly.


Q: What’s the meaning of beauty to you?
A: I don’t know anything else meaning but cliché, like beauty comes from inside. But I don’t know why, that opinion is true.


Q: Do you diet to look pretty?
A: Actually I don’t. But sometimes I eat too much junk food and feel that I have to cut it.


Q: Do you like cooking?
A: Well, there it goes. Because I can’t cook, I eat junk food and enjoy it…hahaha…


Q: Your favorite junk food?
A: Burger and french-fries, pizza, chips.


Q: Where can we buy delicious burger in Sydney?
A: It’s near my place. I don’t know whether it’s the most delicious or not, though. The waiter has known that I must have burger and chips.


to be continued: Dian Sastrowardoyo..
