This page is written to remind me of what kind of “me” when I write this. People do change, so this page may also changes from time to time, depend on how I see myself at this time

My name is Paramita. It’s actually my full name. I know, so not common in where I live, where people usually have 2~4 words of name. Sometimes I put my dad’s name if needed *when last name is obliged*. My family and some friends call me Tata, but I’m also known as Mita or Parmith.

Deducted from my name *and my picture above*, you can tell that I’m a girl. I was born 24 years ago, though I’m not exactly look like 24 years old. Upon my appearance, people who don’t really know me will make assumption that I’m still in high school *sigh..*

I have one dad, one mom *obviously*, one younger sister, 6 years younger, 6 cm taller than me >_<, and a bunch of whole big family, including a dozen cats. Dad currently working afar, in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. Mom *and all of the cat* staying in Bogor, my hometown. And my sister live near to her college in Jakarta, but looks like she will go home often  ;p.

Almost every month, either dad fly to Bogor or mom go visit him, and I spend almost every weekend at home *I wish T__T*, so we’re still a happy family *though we’re living separatedly* ^__^. And I also have a great auntie, who took care of me *bought me all those books and comics* during my junior high, cause my family had to move to Makassar, South Sulawesi, without me.

I spend my twelve years of education *elementary to high school* in Bogor. After graduating from high school, I go to public institute of technology in Bandung *finally out of my hometown, but had to learn to live by myself*, majoring in Informatics Engineering. After 4 years *indescribable moment of my life*, I can finally wore the robe, the weird hat, and got my ‘license’.

I’ve used to work at an electronics company, which produce.. well, electronics stuff of course. My job is to make sure that the DVD player’s firmware we launched is free of bug. I spent almost 2 years here, but.. I have this dream, to travel around Europe while finishing my master study *with scholarship*. Wish I can make it come true >_<. This wish is on the way of coming true! September this year I will be in France. Wish me luck! ^^ (May 2010).

For now, I really really hope that my boss will assign me business trip to Korea, or China, or wherever it is as long as it’s a not-in-condition-of-war country. That wish is already accomplished *big grin*. Actually I was writing this in my hotel room at Suwon city, South Korea (August 2009).

Yep, now I’m in France ^^v. In this beautiful city called Nancy, in the region of Lorraine. Thanks to Erasmus Mundus scholarship, I’m able to continue my study: European Master in Language and Communication Technologies. I now enroll in University of Nancy 2, and next year I will be in Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (FUB), Italy. Sounds like a dream come true eh? Indeed ;)

But there is still a long list of dream of mine, waiting to be come true. The next target is: feel the snow!! Well, it won’t be long until I can experience my first snow, but now I’m getting anxious… I barely can’t stand 4~5 °C temperature of summer in Nancy, how can I survive with -7 °C?? (September 2010). Updated: I finally know what the snow feels like ^^. So, the next target is: go skiing!! But since winter is almost over, I guess this target won’t be achieved until next year (March 2011).

I love mom’s cooking, and I hope someday I can cook as great as her. I like to play with my cats, they can relief my stress. I read novels and japanese comics (manga) in my leisure time *which I don’t have recently*.

Painting, crocheting or making some handicraft, is my other hobbies *yes, I’m an indoor girl*. Music, movies, “acara gosip pagi”, shopping : those stuffs really make my day. Right now, I’m really into something more challenging,  adrenaline rush things, like: diving, jet skiing, wall climbing, bungee jumping. None of them I’ve ever done >_< don’t have a companion to do such things. So, anyone??

Yup, that’s me.. Welcome to my blog, I hope you enjoy it.. ^__^

cheers,
