Officially Working in London


I haven't post anything for the past 2 months. It's been a whirlwind months, juggling between back to back holiday, farewell with my close friends and insanely working to achieve all my target list before my departure.

Yes.

I passed.

I passed the requirement process.

I am officially living my dream.

I am moving to London🇬🇧

Long story short. After the interview with Japanese Managing Director, 2 weeks after that I have to do another interview with the Local Managing Director (Someohow my company has co-director thingy due to some circumstances). I thought the process has done, so I let my guard down. Not that I expect to be interviewed with another MD and this time is British. Honestly I am not really familiar with British pronunciation. Even I cannot understand Harry Potter movie without reading the English subtitles. Nevertheless the sudden announcement made me anxious.

The interview went pretty well eventough I think there was something's missing compare to the previous interviews. I don't feel confident at all.

Almost a month after the interview, I got an email acceptance and a congratulatory message from London HR.

..................

"How about my visa?"

Not even a single happiness came to me at that time. It felt surreal to the point I was scared that something bad will happens to the visa application. I have an issue with anxiety and overthinking. For the past 3 years I have tried to control it with positive mindset. It works sometimes. Especially when I got to control the situation like the interviews for instance. But visa application works beyond that control. So I pray to Allah and constantly convincing myself 

"If it is meant to be it will be." 

"You've done so much." 

"Let Allah decide everything."

and Allah said YES.

Different with the acceptance announcement, I instantly cried when receiving the email from UK border. Not much, only a slight tears because my colleagues were around (and a little bit shaking as usual 😂). 

It felt surreal.

Even now. When I am already landed in London.

Proud of Your Boy

Last night my brother came to my room and checked his phone. "Alhamdulillah I got 60 for my disertation". I can see how happy he was through his eyes, but what? 60? Hey boy, this sister is locally breed, if you get 60 it means you're in trouble. "60 in UK scoring means blablablabla" No no, I'll tell you what it is in case you wondering. UK scoring system is categorized based on the score for final essay submitted on each subject. First-class honours (1st, 1 or I) – typically 70% or higher Second-class honours, upper division (2:1, 2i or II-1) – typically 60–69% Second-class honours, lower division (2:2, 2ii or II-2) – typically 50–59% Third-class honours (3rd, 3 or III) – typically 40–49% My brother got in upper 2nd class honours category for his disertation and one other subject. 3 subject to go until he get his final score generated from all subject scores without any weighted percentage. Different than Indonesia system that calculat...

Friends that I've Always Thankful For

When I was younger, my mom always jealous whenever I went playing or prefer to hang out with my friends rather than staying home with the family. "Friends only around in happiness, family is the one who always around no matter what" She said. Without doubt I agree with her statement, family is everything and always be my number one priority. But what's wrong for being happy with friends? That are friends are for right? Making your life happier. I told my friends everything that I couldn't share to my parents, I laugh for something that my parents couldn't understand and I cry with them for something I couldn't bear alone but I don't want to make my parents worry. All my friends are precious to me, no more no less. As time goes, friends also come and go. I embrace this situation as part of my life and move on.  But... I would like to tell stories about some friends that I've always thankful for. Triadi, the smartest one. Outstandin...
