As I am
You love me as I am
Crazy bits and all.
You go along with schemes
And dreams hair brain.
You laugh at my unfunny jokes,
My inability to do irony,
My sarcasm falling flat.
You love my un-co efforts
To ride bikes and run.
You love it when I put things on
That don’t go;
And you have to tell me
What would go better.
You eat my experimental cooking,
And my experimental love.
You comfort me
After bad dreams;
And tell me I don’t snore,
When I do.
I think you must really love me.

Syam Rachma Marcillia
meaning the Sun (Rachma, Arabic), the Mercy (Rachma, Arabic) and The Lucky Clover (Marcillia, Latin)...the name given by my parents...
and I am thankful for them to give me that name...
being the only daughter and the oldest of 3..
Most of my life, I lived apart from my family..
but whenever and wherever I am..for me, my family is the most precious treasure in my life..
from my Mom and Dad..
I learn how to live..to survive ...and to appreciate life..
I was born in Jakarta, March 3,1982..
after graduated from IKIP Labschool Rawamangun elementary, I went to Oklahoma, USA with my family, where my mom got her MBA scholarship and finishing my Junior High School at Putnam City in 2 years..but when I went back to Jakarta, they did'nt allowed me to enter high school because of my age.. that is why I moved and lived with my uncle family in Banyuwangi, east Java and entered SMU 1 Giri. Since then I had been living apart from my family till now..
The drastic lifestyle changed from free American way to conventional and religious little town way of living in Banyuwangi..both had given me a lot of perspectives in life..
courage, persistence, tolerance, appreciation, friendship, acceptance and lots of others..
values in life that I might never know without the opportunity to experience different living
After finishing high school I got accepted into UGM (Gadjah Mada University) through PMDK program (a free examination entrance test into prestigious university based on grades in high school). When in campus I enter various organization, MAPAGAMA and Satu Bumi adventure club, BEM and KMTA student council, arsitrop, etc and until after graduated I also had worked in various field such aA event organizer, language center, stock market and international design companies, etc...Right now I am studying at Built Environment department, Tokyo Institute of Technology under Mombusho scholarship..
Sometimes my friends called me 'hyperactive', always looks 'free' yet also sentimental and emotional..to be honest..I would not be who I am without the people arround me...
just like my own families..
my friends
the people that I know for awhile
the people that I just meet
or the people that just pass by in my my life..
The opportunities to meet, involved with various people are the richest memories and experience in my life..
Thank you..
thank you...
thank you..
for being a part of my life...
Rachma`s view
Yuli Setyawan..basically his parent name him Yuli because he was born in July and Setyawan means Loyal Man in Javanese..
Yuli was born in 29 July, 1979 in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta as the second child from 4 brother and sisters. He graduated from Mechanical Engineering, Gadjah Mada University Indonesia where we met. Now he is working in Rekayasa Industri, a construction and procurement company,.
To be honest, everybody will think that Yuli and me are sooooo different with each other..
Yuli is patient...I am emotional...
Yuli is quiet.. I am noisy..
Yuli is a serious person... I always kid around..
Yuli is formal...I am informal...
Yuli is always focus on one thing..I always want to do a lot of thing
Yuli like to read math and physics book...I like to read manga and novel
Yuli like to just stay at home...I like to do adventure
Yuli like to work by himself..I like to share
Yuli like to be quiet when he`s mad... I will go crazy when she`s mad
there are tooo much difference between us..
as if we are 2 different side of the coin..
but on the other hand..
Yuli know when to be patience if I got crazy over little things.. and he also knows when to stop and advice me when I am overboard..
Yuli let me have my own opinions and do what I want...but He also will give me a different prespectives when what I choose is not the best one..
Yuli might be too serious and work by himself (which sometimes makes me go crazy)..but at the end he proved to me that what he is been serious and working is for both of us ..
There are sooo many things that so difference about Yuli and me..but those difference hopefully would be an advantages instead of disadvantages..
Just like the two faces of the the coin too
Yuli complete Me..
