About happiness and LDR

One day, on the way from client office to our office, i was talking with colleagues about international carreer. About how if you'll be sent for overseas assignment, while your spouse, and perhaps your kids, stay here.
Colleague A: That's not life. They must be unhappy if that's happened
Colleague B: You don't define happiness for other people. What it is for you doesn't mean similar with others


That conversation reminds me on my friend case. Her husband has to go overseas for study, around two years. Leaving his wife with his one year baby. With no income, since it was scholarship with very tight budget. One day, i have lunch with her and our other friend
Friend A: It must be hard for you. Why do you let him go?
Friend B: It's hard but i'll be fine. That's his dream and i don't want to stop him.


In other ocassions, i was talking with my husband about a novel, Twivortiare. According to him, the couples in that story always quarrel about trivial things.

Me: Every couple has their own deal, hunny. I don't think you treat your ex differently with the way you treat me (before marriage, of course). But she can't survive, right?
Husband: *nodding and continue washing*


I've been married for three years. I still remember during my wedding interview, i told the video crew that i wish me and hunny can live in the same city, soon. Up to now, it's still not happened, though, but we're fine. We've been trained well for that. And we still thank God for make other things easier for us.


There. The definition of happiness may be different from one person to another, from one couple to another. So i don't listen to others. They may judge but we won't care. We find happiness in each other laughs. Right, hun? ;p

Being Insane Keep Me Alive

Many people told me that i'm too serious facing this life. That i'm weighing more on my work to my presonal life. Well, sorry to say, i am still not in that state, yet. I am quite straight, though. I may work until late in office, but i don't touch work at home or during my weekend and days off. I enjoy my time off, watching Korea until the movie starts watching me back, listening to music with my own voice as background, playing tapfish (no real pets, please), cooking, or just crazily dancing all round the room. There were 'galau' time which makes me stay awake till late (as it is now), and i normally just looking for good song, singing it out loud with all the moves, pretending i am the singer. It was fun, indeed. Btw, don't know why i'm writing this' i think my brain just doesn't work tonite.

Saya dan Laut

I am not a piscescian, or aquariust. But i do love the sea. Very much.
Kebetulan suami saya mantan anak sungai (he spent his childhood in Kalimantan, so swimming is easy piece for him).

We both love to travel. Paling seneng pergi ke tempat-tempat yang punya nilai sejarah, atau ke tempat yang lautnya keren-keren. Sayangnya i prefer snorkle to dive. I just don't like the feeling when you can't easily breathe. Jadi kalau bisa pergi ke tempat yang lautnya keren, bisa snorklingan, dan banyak tempat wisata yang bernilai sejarah, lets called it a perfect place.

So here are some.. 

Pacitan, pantai berbatu

Bohol, Filipina. Still our country is the best

Bunaken, pemandangannya kaya di kalender

Gili, ladies and gentlement, our honeymoon place

And many more!!!
Diantara semuanya, Bunaken dan Gili masih juara sih menurut saya.
Lagi pilih-pilih antara Banda Neira atau Maluku Utara buat this November trip, subject to husband and wallet approval :)

Palmistry

Sudah setahun lewat sejak postingan terakhir saya. Ngapain aja ya saya, sampai gak sempet update blog. So i moved back to Jakarta, i think i told you that. Finally got a job, has been started since a year ago. Kinda interesting since i am working directly with the CEO, even though its back office job.

Urusan cari rumah udah beres, Alhamdulillah. We move to casablanca area. It's an apartment in the end. Pretty good investment, hopefully. Perhaps once we settle with everything, will start look for a house.

Enough for the updates. Now move to palmistry topic (eh bener gak sih namanya palmistry, ilmu membaca garus tangan? Males googling...). Gak pernah bener-bener percaya sih sama ramal-meramal, cuma buat lucu-lucuan aja. So the fortune teller (jadi-jadian ;p) told me that i have worked hard to achieve this state. Because the fate given to me is not as good as what i get now. I am lack of luck factor, but i am a hardworker, so if i continue live like this, i may achieve the "Star" state. Mungkin ada benarnya, secara saya gak pernah menang undian, jarang ketemu temen di mall, de el el. But i believe Allah Maha Penyayang dan Maha Mendengar semua doa hambaNya.

The other interesting factor is she said i have another talent, the one that i haven't explored yet. It's not something i can get from school. And if i really want to take it seriously, i may be successful in that area. Langsung berpikir keras, tapi masih belum ketemu talent apa yang dimaksud. Masakan saya rasanya standard, jahit gak bisa (waktu SD pernah tapi gak rapi banget), nyanyian saya bisa bikin kaca pecah, menggambar selalu dapat nilai 6, i'm suck with color so definitely not an designer or architecture whatsoever, public speaker is not my type (menang pun karena latihan, bukan talent),tulisan saya pun kebanyakan cuma buat diri sendiri (terbukti dengan number of followers in my blog).

Kalau katanya Rene (sok akrab tea), your job is not your career. I'm still looking for what it is my real passion. Salah satu alasan kenapa saya pindah dari Field Engineer jadi Executive Assistant. Masih terus mencari, namun tak berhenti bersyukur atas apa yang sudah saya punya hingga hari ini.

Thank you, my dear God...
