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 🙏🏼
