My First Step to Work in London | Part. 2


Sooo. I'm gonna update you with my "London Dream" progress. Alhamdulillah once I talked to the 'key person' I dropped her an email about 'why me' and two days later she said her director has approved my request. I am now allowed to drop my application after I got approval from my in-line director. HR director want to know from business perspective whether my assignment to London will give added value for the company or not. And my boss said YES! 💍 (jk okay 😝).

I have completed my application since last week and now waiting for my department head to complete his letter of recommendation.

Truthfully speaking, I am still shaking whenever my boss or HR told me about the progress. How the key person emailed me the approval, how this morning my department head talked to my director and he joked about 'bad news' then laughed "just kidding" , how I had lunch with my manager in newly opened Sushi Tei next to our building almost couldn't made it since the restaurant was fully booked but turned out they still have 2 sits left on Sushi Bar and we got the best sit! (on the corner where it was only us, while other sushi bar gengs were cramped at the longer side of the table 🤓) and I talked about how I want this so bad and she told me everything I need to do.

 I feel so blessed.

Alhamdulillah.

If you see the picture above, I downloaded it from google a minute ago. But you know what, way before this opportunity comes there were times when my life was not lively. In those dark times, the time where I fight myself with all my might to rise, London always comes up.  I set this picture as my iPad and Macbook wallpaper with a silent prayer "Ya Allah, please let me lived in London one day. To make a living. To lived this life happily". Even when I knew the opportunity to work or even lived in London is very hard, my intuition always said "I will live in London someday".

Now I see this picture again after several years. I started to reminiscing the past how this picture encouraged me like a talking painting and whispered:

 "you can do it......"
 "you can do anything......" 
"you have to believe in yourself......"


Oh how life works in mysterious ways and God is the Greatest scriptwriter that knows best for His servant💕


ps: I'll keep you updated. Please wish me luck 🙏🏼

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...
