Acha Septriasa

Acha Septriasa, whose full name is Jelita Septriasa, has since a few months ago been living in Malaysia, where she is studying film production at Lim Kwok Wing University in Kuala Lumpur.

Acha says that she struggles to adapt to life in Malaysia, and very much misses her hometown of Jakarta. She’s returned for visits four times already, to take back in the atmosphere of Jakarta, see her family, and re-unite with her handsome beau Irwansyah.

Acha says living in Malaysia has forced her to learn some new tricks, including washing her own clothes and cooking for herself, as well as taking the bus to visit her father (who works for Petronas) on Sundays, but on the whole things aren’t all that different, since the people there also speak Malay, if mixed with English.
