MINI Countryman #Getaway Party

The best thing about working in OEM department is invited to some exclusive product launching. Well, I don’t work in OEM department actually. But, my OEM manager sent me a forwarded email from MINI Indonesia to come to the launching of MINI Countryman (a 4-door MINI) and ask me (and another MT fellow) to join the party. Waaaaaaaaww!!! It’s MINI!!! Yes! MINI Cooper!!!!! My dream car! And I’d be one of those lucky people who could get to see the newest MINI product launched in Indonesia!!

MINI which belongs to BMW Group really had a very different way to launch their product. If you’ve been in BMW event, the event holds in a ballroom. Some kind of exclusive and elegant party. But MINI had their way to hold a party. The party held in Parkiran Timur Senayan. Started at 9 pm, and there’s a big big big container! I thought the container were only for decoration (if you see the trailer of countryman on youtube, you’ll see a guy named Ernest was stucked in a container) but I was wrong. At about 11 pm, the container was opened and… The container was actually where the party would be held!! Cool! And the MINI Countryman was already there waited us to saw it with admiration.

I enjoyed the party so much, I could say something great (sometimes) comes in MINI (size). Hahaha maksa.

In conclusion, God really loves me!!!! He knows what I really need after those works I’ve done since I join the company… Thanks God :D

Lucky

Some say, you have to work hard to get what you want. Some say, believe in everything you want and do, then you’ll get it. Some say, do it wholeheartedly and you’ll get it. Which one suits me the best?

I simply believe God has arranged everything for me. And because He’s perfect, he knows where I perfectly in.

I always find my cheeks wet in the middle of the night recently. Cry for everything I’ve got. An expression of thankfulness. I recall all the memoirs in this past one year. How God really makes a set of plan for me so I can get everything just in time.

My final thesis, my thesis defense, my opportunity to work in my dream job, and last but not least, accepted in the company I work in now.

A friend of mine said, “Good person gets good life. Good person gets good opportunity. You’re a good person, everything you’ve got is a reward from God for being a good person”. I nodded when he said that. God bless me.

Days ago, my company asked me to be the MC for ASEAN Forum 2011 that hosted by them. I still remember how it felt when they asked me to. Overloaded excitement and nervousness mixed. They canceled a professional MC and instead, they asked me to do that for them. I asked God, “how come? I thought I’d never feel the feeling of being a host right after I left radio!” But that was the truth.

At the end, the managers and president director shook my hand and said I did a good job. So did one of the speakers.

Some say, you have to work hard to get what you want. Some say, believe in everything you want and do, then you’ll get it. Some say, do it wholeheartedly and you’ll get it. Which one suits me the best? Maybe I don’t have to seek for the answer. Maybe I’m just lucky…

Mimpi Semalam

Semalam aku bermimpi. Aku dan kamu bersama dalam satu tempat tanpa batasan ruang. Kemanapun aku memandang hanya ada hamparan rumput yang sekaligus menjadi alas tidur aku dan kamu. Kita berdua berbaring bersebelahan namun mataku dan matamu tidak saling memandang intens. Kita sibuk melihat langit berwarna ungu tua berhiaskan beberapa bintang yang bersinar terang dengan berbagai ukuran. Hanya ada senyap di sana, ada sunyi mengisi kita.

Tidak ada lisan, tak ada ujar. Hanya suara rumput yang terusik angin menjadi latar. Tak ada bahasa, tak ada kata. Tapi bukan hampa antara kita. Aku bisa merasakanmu dan aku tahu kamu pun merasakan aku. Tak perlu ada sentuhan jika hati sudah menyatu.

Semalam aku bermimpi. Hati kita menyatu dalam sepi. Akankah nyata seindah mimpi?

Jakarta, 17 Desember 2011. Ketika terbangun dari mimpi tentang kamu.

New Path

Hello December! New month, new job. Yeah, if you read my tumblr, twitter, and Blackberry Personal Message, you could find out that I quit from one of the best radio stations in Bandung and now I work in Jakarta as a “cheap labor” (this is how my bosses call me and 2 other fresh graduates in office. oh, and this is just the way they joke. they don’t mean it).

Some people asked me about the new job. Well, it’s pretty WOW. The company is one of the biggest-oils-and-lubricants-company in the world under one of the biggest-oil-company in the world. In my first day at work, I had lunch with the directors (The Indonesia President Director’s treat, of course). And that’s such a normal thing in this company. The directors and the employees are pretty close. Well, the fact is, there’s no “staff” in the office. They all have high position like supervisor, manager, etc because the company itself never hire people who don’t have work experience (then, hiring me is their first experience hiring non-experienced person) . So, after the training’s over, I’ll be one of them! Yeay!! (AMIIN!!!)

The office? Wow. I have lounge in my office! Yeay! In the lounge, there’s refrigerator full of fruits and drinks (no liquor), coffee machine (like in circle K, you can choose cappuccino, mochaccino, black coffee, milo, etc). And just this afternoon, I found a blue berry cheese cake in office pantry refrigerator! If the employees are hungry between 4-5 pm, there’s always some snacks (maicih, gorengan, biscuit, etc) in “pojok cemilan”.

I might lost my dream job couple days ago… But maybe, that’s God’s way to lead me to a new and better path of life. Amiin.
