Ratih+(Jakarta)

Hi My name is Ratih, I'm from Indonesia, I'm 37 years old and lived in perth Australia since 2004. I was borned in jakarta in 1969 and I have a lovely twin sister her name is Henny, and now living in Bali for almost 2 years. I've been studied in jakarta for 3 years and graduated from a secretarial academy in 1999. I was working for some foreign companies in jakarta as a secretary for almost 5 - 6 years. Anyway make long story short, my parents came from java, my dad from east java and mum from west java, they have met in jakarta. My dad is an artist and mum is a house wife. I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers. They all living in indonesia. This is my first time studying in australia since I lived here with my partner. I have a lovely girl 12 years old and her name is Indira Ayu Humaira. I'm teaching a traditional modern dancing and a zumba class in jandakot area. I've been learning some traditional dancings when I was still living in jakarta and I did a zumba class as well which kind of a latin fitness and very energic dancing, its so much fun .... I would like to learn more about english language which is very important for me to communicate with people when am teaching on my class. And I also like to learn more about computer and accounting. My first time came to australia in 2001 and lived in perth for temporary for few months then back to bali and singapore then I have got my permanent resident as well on 2003. After left singapore I have decided to moved and stay permanently in australia and start my dancing activity. I also have my zumba certifications from San Jose USA about 5 months ago and I would like to start focusing to that sort of dancing activity in australia. Since I left singapore and back to australia, I was thinking to do my english language courses in TAFE and I would like to develop my english and make more friends from the school.

I think this is a little story about me and maybe one day in the future I can tell you much more great story about my lovely cultures and other excited things from the big city in jakarta.

Warmest Regards,

Ratih Dunn

__Spring Break__

I had a very lovely holiday, my husband and I went to the country side and we had a really good time there. We went to Southern Cross it’s about 250 km from the place I live. The view of the country side was very beautiful. We stayed at a little hotel and also people are so friendly. My husband and I were having a really good time even though the weather was a bit cloudy. In the morning we had a great breakfast of wonderful pancakes, which not many people from my home country, Indonesia, have for breakfast. I recommend pancakes a really good treat and also a very famous restaurant in the country side. Maybe one day we are going back there and will have more time to sight see and more time to enjoy our spring break.
