## Early Life

His mother, Agahta Jusy, is the eldest daughter of a plastic business magnate. His father, Jeremy Wijaya, meanwhile, was born in Semarang to a poor family but eventually had a successful career in cigarette company Djarum. He and his elder sister, Laura Cecilia, was raised in Roman Catholic faith.

## Education and Career

After finishing elementary, he went to Tunas Muda International School from 2005 to 2009, before skipping to Raffles College of Higher Education, majoring in Visual Communication from 2009 to 2012.

Following a six-month stint of working on a furnishing company after graduation, he went to National Taiwan Normal University in December 2013 for a nine-month stint of Traditional Mandarin learning. The education ended in August 2014. He started working with his father's coal trading and expedition business in 2015, but resigned in 2018 following his marriage with Henry.

## Personal Life

Alex met Henry at Fitness First Mal Taman Anggrek on March 2015, when Alex is surveying the facilities with his friend who wanted to join the fitness center while Henry was just finished his swimming rounds. Both of them started dating in April 2015 before getting engaged in Vimmerby, Sweden in 2016. They got married in June 2018.

### Relationship with others

He was very close with his maternal cousins when he was very young. At one point, his cousin Serena went with her ex-boyfriend Harris to Taipei just to follow Alex’s footsteps in learning Mandarin language.

However, he is not that close with his cousins from the parental side of his family. Although he can strike as much conversation as he can, he always felt that there is no connection between him and any of the cousins as well as their respective partners.

> The truth is, my parents always compare myself with my cousins when it comes to my ability to learn or to gain achievements, even went as far as telling me and my sister whether this little cousin of mine goes to the Mathematics Olympics or whatever. This type of behavior eventually cultivate the sense of jealousy and self-depreciation. The same thing happens to Alex, because compared to everyone else, he's very much an average homeboy.

> Ever since Alex married Henry, however, Alex feels like he's getting a better upper hand than his own parental side cousins, when it comes to relationship and wealth. Despite so, those negative senses are still there, although with Henry's love, affection and openness, those senses decreased significantly.

Both grandparents from his parental side died when he was still a toddler and didn’t remember things. From his father’s stories about them, he somewhat believed that neither he or them will be close if they were still alive.

### Personality and Interests

He’s very childish, which is part of his charm, but often times he can think logically and analytically. He can act motherly if needed. While he doesn’t have a sense in fashion (he preferred t-shirts and short pants with loafers or sandals instead of collared shirts, long pants and sneakers) but he has a great taste in food. He loves cooking but he did it in moderation and he preferred eating outside because he hates washing dishes and taking out the garbage. Ever since he started living with Henry, however, he does a lot of cooking often because there’s dish washing machine in the kitchen, which he loves it so much.

Despite being unfashionable, he has a great sense with brands and not afraid to purchase items that he liked with his credit card. He prefers local items such as KEE, Eight Dreams, and Bearpath, but sometimes he purchased brands like Gucci, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Tumi and Coach when he found something that he liked. Other times, he bought items like a classic Chanel flap bag or a Lady Dior bag for investment.

Once, he bought a Hermes Birkin bag and a Kelly bag from its flagship Paris store for a medium-term investment. Five years after he bought the bags, he sold it five times the price he bought as they were in mint condition.

He has a great interest in Doraemon, as it was and still his favorite anime of all time. He watched the anime since he was a child and these days, instead of watching it on TV, he watched it on YouTube with Japanese dub and English/Indonesian translation. He has vast amount of Doraemon plushies, as well as Doraemon-related toys, figurines, clothes and collectible merchandises. (He was once went to a Doraemon-dedicated merchandise store called Dorafanshk in Hong Kong. If Henry doesn't hold him back, he could bought the whole store.)

He has a good eye on character goods and no tolerance in defected or fake Doraemon-related merch. If he was given a fake Doraemon goods from his relatives, he waited until the relative was gone from his sight before he threw them in trash or donate it elsewhere.

He suffers from dust allergy, which he usually suppress with Allegra or Telstra. In various instances, he could get sick easily by common cold and flu due to a defect in his glands. Due to his allergy, Henry put a strict rule to his housekeeper to clean the penthouse thorough.
