I am Javanese. Both my father and mother are Javanese. In addition, as long as I can remember there’re no mixed bloods from any great grandparents. I was born in a small town named Boyolali, Central Java. Until Senior High School, I used to speak Javanese Language on my daily life. What a weird! When I was studying in Bandung, many friends and seniors asked me about what’s my bataknese family name. That kind of question had been asked so many times since I enrolled the collage. I didn’t know why. Was that due to my face? Emm… I didn’t know, but I didn’t think so. If you know my mother, who is a purely Javanese, you’ll see how I resemble her face. The question was not bothering much actually, but it sounded odd. Hehehe… Yeeaahhh… forget it! Hehehe… Since I married to a handsome bataknese man 2 years ago, I can handle that kind of question for I already have a bataknese family name. So, to which I belong now? I belong to both of them… :-).
