I had lived there for 11 years and all my wants and needs were met on that small island. I could walk anywhere without worrying about getting kidnapped. I could take a taxi and not worry about the driver cheating you. I could even leave the house 10 minutes for a lesson and not worry about being late. I had a lovely school, a nice group of international friends and merely a house in a pristine location. All was good. sensation day, my dad was at work and my brother was at a sleepover. My bring took me to my favorite restaurant at that timeMcDonalds. I knew something was fishy, because I hadnt wear thine anything good, but I went along with it. Then she brou ght me a just Meal.

Leaving all that I knew behind, to pop off a fresh life in capital of Indonesia. Sometimes you only want something, like staying in Singapore, because its the safe way out. However, moving to Jakarta was a risk and a scary adventure.
