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.

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 creatin...

Gaining Weight

Huftt... My heart were broken into pieces. After a nice treadmills (first time since forever!!) and completely sweaty here and there, I casually  hop onto a scales at my gym... and.... 56 kilosss!!!!!!! WHATTTTTTTTT My last weighing was last month, before the fun-tastic holiday marathon (I'll share it later😉) and I'm pretty sure it was 53! fifty three everyonee! with 5 and 3, not 5 and 6 💔 For 25 years my most heavy was 53 and I've been struggling to maintain it throughout 2017 (not even bother to diet since it is soooo dificult to resist all the tempting snacks at my office! (I blame you oleh-oleh😤). Seriously, does anyone know if human metabolism start worsening at age 25? (gosh, I feel old) I even double check upstairs at my apartment just in case the scale was broken. Nope. it's fine (#cryariver) Well, I might be devastated with the fact that I'm heavier (on a scale). But what bothers me a lot is, I can't control my appetite!! Chips...
