..31st Dec 2007..Today is the last day of 2007. So many things happened in my life and lotsa them are worth to remember though they’re not always a good thing to memorize. I wanna take this moment to write down those moments.
In this early year, after 20 months working in Nokia, I resigned and move to its biggest competitor. I didn’t think I caused a chaotic moment in Nokia, but I could sense they were kinda panic knowing me move to the other side, though no words came out from my mouth (it’s an unwritten ethic, otherwise they got in the way). They tried anything to keep me there, from offering me double salary, permanent status, even a position in a department that I barely had a background of, but nothing could keep me stay a little bit longer. I had to go back-and-forth meeting the HR, the manager, directors explaining the “real” reason of my resignation and rejected every offer they gave me. It really was the right decision I made, coz I heard from people who still work there that the situation in Nokia after merging with Siemens is not getting better. I thank God for not making myself changed my mind on that time, although in my early days here, I still think that I made the wrong choice. Now I’m enjoying my work so much, not so much pressure and I absolutely has a social life, a time for myself. Time is all I didn’t have while I was in Nokia. Yet for the friendship I have, no place beats Nokia. I couldn’t get the chemistry I had when I was in Nokia, although I’m here for almost 11 months. People in here are different, while they are all my age. But I don’t know, they are just too serious. That’s why I don’t hang out with them. Besides, I have friends outside the office, so it’s no biggie for me.
This year, I had 2 times traveling with my mom. First one was to
I flew to
I had hi-skool reunion on November and it was great.. I could meet my friends again, people whom I barely see for years, some of them I didn’t keep contact with after graduating from skool. On that reunion which was held for 2 days, I really had a blast. Even I talked to friends whom I never talked with during hi-skool. We caught up each other long story in a very short moment. It was great, just great, and our hard work for only 2 weeks paid off. Our booth perhaps the most to talk about, since ours had the “lounge” theme. So you could imagine the cozy couches, coffee table, wooden stool, and not to forget the DJ table in the corner. I wish we had this kinda thing every year, or at least every 2-3 years.
Early on December, I went to
If on September I saw Elliott in
I bought a car this year. I didn’t plan too, but I had to because it’s all for the family sake. My sista resigned from her office so she must returned the office’s car. If I should think about me alone, I don’t need to buy a car. I’d rather save the money for other things, but I have to think about my family and we all need cars for grocery shopping, going to relatives’ house, things that you couldn’t even think of. So 1 day after getting sms from my sista about her resignation, I bought a car. I didn’t take a lot of time to think, it’s just something that I have to do for this family.
For guys, I didn’t have much to tell, though this year is better than 2006 in terms of fooling around. Few new guys tried to get to know me better, but I dunno, don’t wanna think about it at all.
I don’t have any hope or somewhat called it resolution for 2008. I’m just being grateful that I still live, I still have my family, my mom especially, have a job, have friends and have this wonderful life. I couldn’t ask for more from God. I admit that sumtimes I couldn’t satisfy myself and need more than what I have, but most of the times, I have all I need in life. That’s why in 2008, I wanna let everything go with flow, just hoping that next year will be better.
That’s all
Ibu gue itu segalanya bagi gue. Apapun yang gue kerjakan dalam hidup gue ini, sebisa mungkin tidak mengecewakan dia. Yah, kadang2x gue juga ngebo'ong dari hal kecil ampe yg gede, tapi setiap gue inget dia, mau gak mau gue memaksa diri gue untuk berpikir lebih banyak lagi. Kalopun gue sudah ngecewain dia, yg jelas gue can't turn back the time, jadi gue berusaha utk menjadi lebih baik lagi. Intinya, gue gak mau kehilangan dia untuk saat ini. Bukan berarti gue belum siap kehilangan dia, bukan itu, krn semua orang pasti akan meninggal, tapi gue gak mau kehilangan dia dimana gue belum bisa membahagiakan dia lebih banyak lagi, dan gue gak mau menyesal di kemudian hari.
