Good afternoon friends. Thank you for the time, allow me here to introduce myself for a couple minutes. My complete name is Indra Herwawan, but you can call me Indra. I was born in Bandung, June 21st 1994. It was a long time and about eighteen years ago right?

I’m a very new person here because I just moved from Bandung to this capital city two days ago. When the first time live in Jakarta, I feel very hot but it has been a normal condition for me right now. In Bandung, I had a unique hobby that was speedcubing. It was a brain to play the Rubik’s cube faster and faster. Below is the picture of Rubik’s cube.

I also spend my time to play football and listening to the music when I get bored at home. But, when I live in Jakarta, I even have no idea to play football with my friends. Because, here I am a stranger and haven’t got friend yet. I live in Jl Kepulauan raya, West Jakarta. It’s approximately five kilometers from this school and I come here by bus.
