I believe everyone has their story to tell. So do i.
My story might not be as exciting as your story but it is still a story.
Here i go.

First of all, My full name is Herman Tino. And i do believe every name that was given by their parent do have a meaning so i do ask my parents.

I asked my father, "Pa what is the meaning of my name?"
My father told me, "actually i also don't know what is the meaning of your name?"
I replied, "how come?then why u gave me this name?"
My father replied, "i got your name from one of my worker. He said Herman Tino is a good name because it is a name of one famous singer from malaysia."
I replied in amazed, "so, you just took his suggestion."
With a smile on his face, my father replied, " YA "
I was like, OMG...so this is how my name come from..zzz

Because of this name, i become quite famous during my study in singapore..i still remember one incident when i went to singapore imigration to surrender my student pass. I was supposed to collect my document on that day, but i came back on the next day instead. When collecting my document, the officer said she was wondering where Herman Tino have gone to. She thought i was so busy with my concert. lol..
SEE!!they made fun of my name!
So...what is the meaning of your name?Have you ever tried to find out?

Second of all, I'm originally from Moro island or more precisely from moro Subdistrict. As you know indonesia is so big, so most of the place is divided into Province, District and Subdistrict (confused?don worry because i'm not sure either :P)

Since i was a kid, i often moved from 1 island to another island.
When i was primary 4, i moved to my grandma place (another island) to continue my study since my previous school closed down. Afterwards, i moved to Batam to further my secondary and high school and now Singapore. Quite an adventurous experience, wasn't it?
Some of you may wondering whether i miss my family. Of course i do. Can you imagine a primary 4 student staying apart from their parents?
But now, no more this kind of feeling. I get used to it already.

last time after graduating from my high school, i have dilemma whether to further my study overseas or not. I had received a lot of comment from my relative regarding my study. They felt that it was not worth trying because my high school grade was not really desireable. Furthermore, financial condition of my parent may not really support me. there were lots of risk involved
.

I would really like to thank my parents to have their faith in me. Hence, i promised myself to study as hard as i could (altough i did slacked sometimes :P).
when i think back, i indeed have gone through a lot of steps to reach where i'm standing now. Life never go easy on us, preseverance is the key to survive (originally quoted from Hema :P)

Another new problem keep dwelling on me now..can i do well in university?what if i cannot?there is so many thing i worried about..all i can do now is to believe in myself..if you want people to believe in you, you need to believe in yourself first!!>.< it is easier to say than done..
