A Letter for My Crazy Friend



Today one of my best friend told me that he'll move to Kupang for an undetermined period of time. Eventough I know sooner or later he'll be assigned to another city due to his work in Central Bank, but his sudden announcement still left an empty room in my heart.


"Guys, most likely I'll received my assignment announcement this week. Mohon doanya, hopefully I wouldn't be placed in a remote city so I don't have to take additional leave to reach Jakarta for our next trip"

I'm stunned. Not because concerned of his flight later, but the fact that he wouldn't be around to give his critical comment or his signature sarcasm.

To me, this friend is like beyonce with sasha fierce (hmm.. somehow his personality matched really well with beyonce fierceness 😂). He is smart, critical, mature but at the same time hilarious and craaayyzyy.

When we were in college, he was very ecstatic everytime on stage, performing. He always in his world while creating ideas for comedy skit or dance routines. I was very sad when he told me that he choose to work in the Central Bank to makes his parent happy. Cos I know performing is his life..

But who to blame when he's also good at it!! He majored in finance, had some student exchange experience in Netherland, securing job right after graduation at Telkomsel and now working in Central Bank.

He once asked me for a sweet friendship post and I give him this.

To my beyonman (beyonce version of merman, whatever). You are born to stand out and being different in whereever you are. This life is your stage! We'll make sure to always be around capturing all of your talent whenever you need it. Thank you for the laughs and talks that we shared, may our friendship always bring us to be a better and happier person.

ps: I know you'll judge my writing or grammar. Before you do that, I want to say "BOAM" hahaha

Love, RSG

Sorry Rihanna, I did it first 🙄

My name is Rininta. But since I was a baby, everyone is calling me Riri. My uncle gave me the name because he think Rininta is too long. Indonesian could easily spells Riri and it sounds right. As for foreigner, the it changed into "WiWi" and I kinda not like it. So here I tell me to call me Rininta. Most people don't argue, but some are trying to made their own shorter version of my name. "Can I call you Rini?" Okay. Some people do that in Indonesia. "Can I call you Rina?" Hmm. That's new. It's actually my mother's name. Still interesting. Annnnddddddd today! "Can I call you Riri?" "Wow, my name is actually Riri!" I got excited. "What?" He said. "I mean, my nickname is actually Riri. Everyone's in Indonesia call me that way" "Riri as in RiRi Rihanna?" Uh. Please. Not again. "Yes. RiRi. Just like Rihanna" 😒 "But sawrryy. I did it first. W...

The Idea of Mr. Right

Today at lunch, I got together with my management trainee friends. We rarely met, but when we do we can talked about anything from the most important to the most ridiculous topic. Marriage topic came up (as usual) and suddenly they were talking about mine. Guessing my wedding venue, talking about how big it would be, and other stupid fantasy. I stopped them in the midway and asked  "Guys guys. Before we get there, how if we find the candidate first? You know how desperate I am rite? Don't you see my instastory post?" (My Intagram post is always staged and glamorized. But my instastoryyy? Pheew, even my best friend felt ashamed to have a friends like me hahahaha.) One of my craziest guy-friend said I will met soooo many potential candidate in London and most likely I will end up with one of 'someone important' son. Since there are abundance rich son who study there. In contrary with him, Juju spontaneously said "I don't think so. I thi...

What Do I Want?

I hope someone can tell me what do I want right now? What is my heart yearning for? I am a long time dreamer. I’ve dreamt about being an entrepreneur since I was 17. I chose my major becuase of this, I chose not to apply for job after college because of this, I chose to invest most of my time procrastinating about this. I WAS HAPPY. I got my first chance to realizing my dream, starting a small retail ventures in fast fashion. Highly involved on the end-to-end supply chain process: choosing fabric, concepting, designing, vendor management, selling, marketing, to warehousing. I admit the venture was inefficient, it was high cost high labor low margin. But I WAS HAPPY. Sadly the venture failed. Mismanagement, unprepared, lack of discipline. I think these three reason has described the main background of the failure very well. I try to avoid the word “failure”, but today I have to admit the defeat and moving on. Then I got a chance to work in a company. At that time my condition wasn’t ide...
