Kalimat diatas selalu diucapkan ibu saya jika saya curhat tentang seseorang yang nyebelin. Entah teman, saudara, bos atau siapapun.Tapi namanya juga saya kalo uda sebel sama orang ya sebel aja, susah ilangnya hehe.
Di kantor saya yang sekarang, bos saya itu cewe berumur sekitar 40an, well-dressed dan yaa pastilah pinter. Tapi yang namanya cewe kan biasanya cerewet, begitupula dengan bos saya ini. Cerewet dan orangnya meledak-ledak, cepet marah gitu tapi saya tau sih sebenernya dia baik.
Saya pernah beberapa kali kena semprot, baik emang kesalahan saya sendiri ato salah orang lain tapi ditimpakan ke saya. Yang gitu-gitu sih yang bikin saya agak cebel-cebel sama dia. Dan menurut saya dia termasuk golongan PHP (pemberi harapan palsu) karena waktu itu pernah janjiin saya sesuatu tapi ga ditepati. Yaah 11-12lah sama para dewan wakil rakyat yang terhormat.
Selain itu mungkin dia perhatian terlalu berlebih sama saya ato gimana kali, dia itu sering banget ngomentarin penampilan saya. Pernah suatu waktu dia bilang (di depan banyak orang) baju saya lebih cocok buat orang hamil zzz. Itu pas dia ngomong kaya gitu rasanya saya pengen hidup jadi semut aja pfftt. Dan dia kaya gitu ke saya ajaaa, yang lain kagaaak. Suatu keanehan yang tidak bisa saya pahami memang. Why always me??

another wake-up call story
Hi! It’s been quite a while since the last time I blogged. For the past few months I was really busy preparing this and that (I’m not gonna explain what “this and that “ are, uhh oh well maybe I will in my next writing: p). Anyway, there were several milestones that happened in my life during these few months.
Okay first thing is uuhmm I am with someone now yeayy! Hhaa. No I am not gonna share my story with the new guy, let it be our story (yeaah right :p). The next thing is that I am really excited about this year as I have made several goals and have also worked my ass out reaaaall hard to achieve it. Well I am still working on it and hoping for the best result. Amen.
What I am going to share is my story of joining a finance course. I have engaged in a CFA preparation course for almost a month that every Saturday I have to sit for about 8 boring- at-first-but-i-found-it-really-fun hours hha. For any of you who don’t know what CFA is, you can find the definition here.
At first I thought the participants will be the kind of people who already have a lot of experiences in finance industry, those who are considered well-grounded. In fact they are, but there are also other people who less-experienced and have no idea about what finance is but at the same time have a huge curiosity about it. I definitely belong to the 2nd category hhe.
Let me start with person no.1. She is a graduate of the finest state university in Bandung, class of 2004. We are about the same age (I thought..). After she graduated, she joined a pharmacy company (since she holds a bachelor degree in pharmaceutical engineering). It turned out that she didn’t like her job and decided to continue her study by taking a master degree. The interesting fact about her is that she entered the school 2 years earlier than she supposed to.
I’m gonna let you guys think for a sec.
Okay? Got the picture?
This girl, a 23-year-old human being, already obtained a bachelor and a master degree and now pursuing to obtain a CFA certification. In such a really young age, she has gained so much in terms of self-development. To some extent and since I am a common normal person, jealousy is just unavoidable. ;p
Now turn to person no.2. At first encounter, nothing’s special from this middle-aged woman. She’s just like everybody else in the class. But wait until you hear her story.
She lives in Jogyakarta. And you know what? She takes a round-trip Jakarta-Jogjakarta-Jakarta in order to be able to join the class. And she does that every Saturday for the next few months. Every Saturday!
Can you imagine that?
I was like,, what??!
My jaw hit the floor as I listened to her story (okay, this metaphor is just lehebahayy hhe) . But come on! This woman is no longer in her 20s or 30s or anything that labels her as a young person. She proves that age isn’t something that could limit her thirst for knowledge.
What I can say here is that these two women are just amazingly crazy. I salute them, I really do. They give me a really good example on how to stay focus, how to keep their dreams alive and continue to chase it no matter how hard it is.
I believe the ingredients of successfully grabbing dreams are a cup of faith, a big bowl of hard work (I mean a really huge one ;p) and an unstoppable droplets of prayer. Hmm probably should add a nice slice of patience there hha.
So I got the recipe, now it's time to cook :)
