Actually there was nothing special about my childhood. I lived with my parents in a small village, and I was just like other country boys. But my life changed when my parents decided to move to Jakarta. At that time I was only thirteen years old.
Living in a big and modern city is far different from living in a small and traditional village. However, I thought living in the country was the best moment in my life.

However, I became more interested in computer. You know, I always liked computer, so I spent most of my time to read computer books. I was very unhappy at that time, but I am glad this happened because I finally decided to become a professional programmer. Now I have been trying to get my master degree in a computer science.
