Farish A.

I watched this Soal Jawab last night on TV3 which involves two political academicians discussing about Indonesia's PEMILU 2014 between Jokowi and Prabowo.

One of the speaker is wearing a glasses of John Lennon in which gets my attention to stay with the program until it ends at 12 midnight, before the kick-off Argentina versus Nigeria World Cup 2014.

The next morning i googled about this John Lennon guy and it turns out to be that this guy is Farish A. Noor, a Senior Fellow at the Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technical University (NTU), Singapore.

He is also guest affiliated Professor at both Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS) and Sunan Kalijaga Islamic University, Jogjakarta.

As today is the first day of my three years Ph.D journey, this guy will be one of my current addiction now.
