A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Keysa! 21 (as of 2024) and always on the hunt for cosy nooks and stylish places! Designing my own life with a dash of creativity and a hint of craziness. I’m here to share the little joys that make life sweet :)
- I grew up in BSD, Tangerang Selatan, Jakarta, an area less crowded and more peaceful compared to the city centre, akin to Mont Kiara in Kuala Lumpur.
- I enjoyed exploring restaurants and cafes in Jakarta, a passion that continues in Malaysia.
- I frequently explore PJ, KL, and Subang, with KL being a favourite for food hunting and art exhibitions.
- There are some very obvious cultural differences I noticed personally between Malaysia and Indonesian Muslim.
- Firstly, the differences between Bahasa Malaysia (BM) and Bahasa Indonesia (BI) are notable.
- BM is easier to pick up due to contextual clues and familiarity with BM cartoons from my childhood. BM has more slang used by youth groups.
- Malaysia is more open-minded regarding self-expression and freedom of speech.
- Malaysia's legal system is more Muslim centric, whereas Indonesia, despite being conservative, is less religiously strict for Muslims.
- In my opinion, Indonesia is catching up with Malaysia in city infrastructure but the traffic management among other areas still needs improvement
Educational Journey
-
Primary and Secondary Education
- I attended the private school Binus Serpong for primary education and had many friends from government schools.
- Indonesian government schools have different grading levels, with passing marks at 50% compared to 60-75% in private/international schools.
- Private schools offer higher quality education, particularly in English proficiency.
- Attending an international high school exposed me to Western influences and media through the Cambridge syllabus.
- I participated in extracurricular activities focused on community causes, such as beach cleaning projects.
- My parents chose private education to secure my chances of studying abroad.
-
Higher Education
- At 18, I enrolled at One Academy Malaysia to study Interior Design.
- I encountered a language barrier initially, but adjusted quickly after six months.
- The coursework is intensive, with a focus on training over social interaction, suitable for introverted students.
- The campus, located in an office tower, limits facilities but provides a high-standard, industry-based syllabus that prepares students for their careers.
- I’ve learned that passion is crucial in Interior Designing, I find there is a noticeable difference in output when comparing when the output was created with genuine emotion.
Skills and Interests
- I started gaining popularity on TikTok with aesthetic cafe reviews, connecting my passion for interior design and art.
- Understanding audience preferences, such as video pace and shooting style, comes from being in the same age group as the predominant users.
- How I started initially was to reach out to outlets/shops via Facebook, Instagram, but the operators now approach me due to the success of my content.
- Success in content creation is driven by aesthetic taste, staying on top of social media trends, and associating with like-minded individuals.
- The challenges include maintaining dedication and consistency to engage the audience daily or weekly, staying on trend and finding a specialty are crucial for relevance and understanding viewer perspectives to grow your channel.
- My shooting style is behind the camera, often using friends as models.
