I got to a point in my life where I felt I wanted to become an Indonesian citizen. I had lived there for 23 years at that point, not including high school & university exchanges.
It wasn't just a "marriage of convenience", doing it to make my visa run easier. #threadstorytime
I felt more connection with Indonesia, much more so than the UK, my passport, that I left at age 15, or USA, where I went to high school & university but only spent 10 years. And certainly not South Africa, where I was born & spent 7 years.
It seemed natural. #threadstorytime

Baru nonton BCL nyanyi kemarin.
Terharu.
Ashraf Sinclair orang baik. One of the good guys.
Pertama interview dia & BCL 2015 buat profil perkawinan.
Ashraf ramah, bicara seperlunya, pintar. Menghormati semua.
November 2018 kami kontak lagi. Senang. #BegitulahAshraf

Ashraf mau menulis autobiografi buat ultah ke 40. Senang saya. Dari awal di hormati saya & jasa saya. Bayar penuh di awal karena maklumi susah cari nafkah sebagai freelancer. Pernah susah juga dia. Dia mau saya dibayar dapat sebelum Natal biar perayaan meriah. #BegitulahAshraf
