New Chapter

Opening this blog reminded me of my beautiful past.. An ambitious and passionate career woman who achieved her dream to work abroad. Too bad I was too absorbed with my life there and forgetting this blog (or my vlog) that supposed to be my “electronic diary” about my life there. Nevertheless, the feel and memories remains and will never fade in my mind and my heart. 

Ok. Enough about the past.

Now the situation has changed and many things happened, especially this year. New role, challenges, achievements, disappointment, anger, separation, heartbreak, frustation, to promotion. Each and every month I faced different kinds of emotional shock that confused me. Too many surprises that I could barely handle.

The biggest drawback was actually the breakdown. Mental breakdown that occured last summer. The avalanche of an iceberg that, for the past 7 years, I hold on tight with all my might. It wasn’t just the tip nor a drill. It was real. And it’s cost me my confidence, belief, and self-trust that I build for so long.

Up until today, I’m still not recover. Exhausted, anxious, and demotivated. Feeling disconnected with my job and the non-existence of excitement. Not that I don’t try. I took several full-week leave, went to therapist, even being honest and open about my struggle to my bosses, HR, and Management.

Yet I couldn’t recover.

2020 is coming to end and once again I have to face the most crucial December, the month where fate will be decided. 

I, then, once again trusting my heart to make the decision. To start the new chapter of my beautiful life..

“Listen to your heart, because heart is the closest place where we can listened to God’s answer”

Bismillah..

Why God Keep Me in Wait?

When it comes to marriage, there were times when I wonder why God keep me in wait while others are getting married in a flash. Not that I'm jealous with my friends who get married earlier, it's just a random thought, why? For me marriage has always been my top of mind. In high school where all my friends were busy choosing uni, I want to get married. In Uni where all my friends were anxious about job hunting, I want to get married. I always choose 21 years old whenever acquaintances/elder asked when is my marriage target. Don't even start with my friends, if somebody asked or joked "who's the first person to get married?" the definite answer always "Riri laaah!" Now that I'm 25 years old and proudly single, I'd watched lots of my dearest friends getting married before me. I promised myself to always be there to witness the most important days in my friends life no matter how busy I am (early flight, 12 hours train ride or 6 hours driv...

Gaining Weight

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...
