Somehow I just want to say Hi. I even do not know, to whom I said it, but anyway...
Regarding the last post I made which titled of Being Grateful, indeed, I really.. really am grateful with what I have.. what I had.. Of course, ups and downs are always there. However, God who really really kind to us had been giving me strength and lots of nice friend and family who always be there when I needed them.
I want to say that, every person has its own path in life. No matter what kind of path it is, just enjoy yours. I think that my path is not good in the beginning, but it turned out that I could handle it.. With all the tears, sweats, laughs, smiles... I find it that my path is also interesting. I am sure that this stage will contribute something huge in my life, Although I am not knowing it all now. Because, every stage of our life is like dots, that we can connected later, and we can know the meaning after all dots are fully connected.
Job.
Graduated from an Institution called Engineering did make me feel a weirdo when I decided to enter a job as a banker. My feeling is not good at all at first. And believe me, being a banker means you are ready to be put in an endlessly stress 5 days a week. Especially if your job is a Relationship Manager slash Account Officer. What are your tasks? Well, it should have been very simple, you meet the client, chit chat about their project, you gather information and documentation, you make a proposal, and help them to disburse the loan. Simple is it? HAHA you think!!!!! The fact is.. this job is like a hell.. Dealing with people. Believe me. And please believe me. Dealing with people is much much much more Frustrating than dealing with Numbers. There is no exact equation in solving the problems with people. I could say that this job, needs a special skills in People Handling section. You could be a banker who does not care with people, but in fact, as I am a woman who could easily distracted with something called Feeling, your problems with people could be depressing enough to make you cry.
Ok, enough about those ugly side. The good side in my job is.. I could meet various businessmen/women who passionate about their work, who succeeded in build a company, who's been head over heels to get up after force majeure attacked, who really brave to take risks, who do not care about other people as long as they got what they wanted, who really greedy, who really humble, who really rich even can buy the ferrari without telling their parents (by the way we are at the same age), who intentionally or not had taught me valuable things in life. I also learned about various industry, and I should admit that 3 years in this job, and I proudly say that I know NOTHING. Really nothing.. There are soooo many things in every industry that you have to learn. And somehow, 3 years is not enough. I learned about Oil and Gas Industry, Shipping Industry, Property Industry, Textile Industry, Manufacturing.. and I just learn their pieces. Interesting. Don't forget about financing, structuring financing to a company is also a good thing that I learned in this job. Meet the lawyers, learn about the laws, meet the notary, knowing what they do, is the various little things that also I experienced in my job. In short, I am grateful with what I learned. I even more grateful with the team I worked with, who's been really kind and like a family. They are great people, they had been taught me well and gave me the experiences where I maybe could not have it in other universe.
Travel.
My first travel abroad is presented by my Big Boss in the office. He is really really beyond kind that he planned a holiday with our team + family to Hong Kong & Macau. And.. it was free.. Yep! He is so kind, and I wish he had a long live filled with more and more blessings to come. For the only member who had not been abroad before, I got lots of jokes from my Supervisors, but I don't care. I had so much fun back there, something that I won't trade for any other things.. My first office outing is at Singapore. I met with my relative who lives there and I had so much fun also. I was nervous at the first when I am about to landed abroad.. But the feeling is more or less not that "high". I am happy that I have been traveled to other country, but what made me really happy is actually, the people who we traveled with.
Oh, and I never been to Bali until.. I planned to take a block leave and go with my close friends. Atika, Sofi and Astrid are the friends who accompanied me. I must say that I love Bali. Gasped with the Beach. I went to Pandawa Beach, which, perfectly fits with my Imagination of Beach. All I can see is the ocean. It was quite, Lots of Sands, and I was there with my close friends. It was beautiful. I accidentally went on Bali when APEC event was about to be held, so it was not easy at all when our last day in Bali. However, I am really grateful, I could go there, Sleep in a Nice Rooms, Eat the Nice Foods, Seeing the Extraordinary Views, and of course, Travel with The People I Love.
Socials.
I still remember when one of my friend in the office share the story about Kelas Inspirasi. It started when I see the Profile Pictures of my friends in BBM contact list. And somehow, I felt that I know the person. I asked the confirmation about the picture. It was true, She is the person on the picture. The pictures is a woman who really enthusiast while teaching in a elementary classroom. I was interested. The next months later, she told me about Kelas Inspirasi 2, that she's held. Yes, she is one of the pioneer of Kelas Inspirasi, and she was one of the committee in that project. She told me that if I am interested, I should apply to be one of the volunteer, and I was really interested. So I applied, and get accepted. Yay!!
I met with the coolest team ever. With the same vision and spirits, we were teaching at the Elementary School for 1 day. It was not easy at all. The children have so many energy, so many power which successfully made me all over sweats that day. But I am really happy. The feelings of realize that we already positively contribute to other people is beyond words. Moreover, My team is filled with the people who's had various career. There was a Fashion Designer, Consultant, Lecture/Founder of Social Foundation, Comic Artist, HR practitioner, Flight Attendant, Investment Analyst, and more. Meet with them, has been able to talk with them, share the work with them, are the things that I treasured in this year. I am planning to be more and more giving to my society. No matter how small it is, I want to give the Inspiration to other people.
Dreams.
If someone asked me, what was my dream. I was hoping that I could work on the world that 180 degrees contrary to what I had now. I wanna be a Designer, a Writer, a Film Maker... something that I could not be for right now. But My friend Ina, she was pursuing her dreams, she took a master in Publishing, which I find it cool and extraordinary. She also constantly remind me of my dreams. With her, I believe that Someday I have to pursue my dream. Someday I could be it. But for now, contributing to her Digital Magazine Project and our Story Project have made the empty slot in my heart somehow filled properly. I pray that this project could be sustained for a long term. I also pray that I could keep remember of my dreams. The things that I really wanna do in my life.
Family.
Yeah, we are now keep surviving. Mom, and my little siblings. Life is never easy, but the family made me sane. Holding on together, we hope that there will be a White Light there. :)
So, this is me saying Hi. I am not planning to say Hi again soon, but who knows.
Just.
Be Happy, please ....
