Happier life

Hello! As promised, I will share my "happier life" at the moment. Remember that I told you after finishing high school, I was studying abroad for a year and 8 months. This is the first time I went to a place that far away from my family and live there "alone". I have never imagine before that I could stay away for a long time from my family. Anddd.. my whole life start changing.

When I stepped my feet in Melbourne, it is never come into my mind that I could be like I am today. In the past, I was too shy, coward and spoil. As I am the youngest daughter, my parents always show their "unlimited" love to me. Therefore, my brother and sister sometimes get jealous over me. However, after living alone for almost 2 years, I become more independent, organised and open minded. I have to manage my self to stay alive and be happy.

In Melbourne, I could go shopping as much as I can and dine in some restaurants (well it makes me gained so much weight now) But still.. I enjoy the life. I could do whatever I want with my friends until midnight before come back to the house. There is no sounding from my mom and its freedom! However, this life suddenly stopped when I go back to Indonesia. So sad.

At first, when I went back do Indonesia for good, I could not control my self, I truly lose my freedom. In here, my parents always yelling at me, to wake up in the early morning and get something to do, while in Melbourne, I could control whatever time to wake up and do everything I want. I really hate those old habit, but as time goes by, I am get used to it and do whatever they want. 

After graduated, I am jobless and get nothing to do. I just spent a lot of money for shopping and hanging out with old friends. Then I realized that something is not right. I could not just doing nothing for the degree I had, so I decided to find a job from the job vacancy established in the internet and finally get the one which is so worth it. I got my first permanent job as a tax consultant. 

Firstly, with the name "consultant" I feel its cool and regal! haha. Many people want to be a consultant, and yes I got it! I was proud to work in one of big 4 companies. 

My first day was also awesome, I got nothing to do (only some online training) but the next 2 days, I got so damn busy with a lot of works from my superior. At the first two weeks up to a month I fell in love with my job. So Damn LOVE.

I love my colleagues and my boss. I think that is the friendly environment that I got after finishing my internship. They are so helpful and know how to balance life. We always do something on Friday and yep! I got the new life. 

We always share our thoughts, our own life and how to enjoy the weekend. We have always go somewhere and party.. We can enjoy the night and music. Its really fun! Although they are 3 to 5 years older than me, they are still cool! I could trust them as my brother and sister. And thanks to them that I could have the happier life now. They always tell me to enjoy life, love your life and let the world know that you are alive. Hehe. 

I love my life now.. Its a happier life! Thanks God for letting me know those people! 

A year after for good

Happy new year 2015 and hello new blog! Its been ages that I left my old blog and decided to make a new one. I will tell you my new stories, new life and new me. 

Well, its been a year after I came back for good from Melbourne, but the memories are still here, in my head. I can't erase everything easily, cause I just don't want to. Studying overseas make me open my mind and realize that you can be everything you want if you have faith in yourself. 

When I was 6 years old, I was dreaming about my future job, as a doctor, because I hate sickness and I want to help people to deal with it. As time goes by, dreaming of a doctor is gone since I realized that I am afraid of blood and it will take a long journey to get the title of a "doctor". Therefore, after finishing high school, I am heading to Melbourne to get a bachelor degree of commerce (majoring in accounting and finance) instead. 

Many people asked why should I choose Melbourne to just study about business. Well.. for me, its an opportunity to get to know how the developed country run their business and how to get a new connection. If you think that I am talking bullshit about it, yes, you are right. Honestly, at first, I want to go to Australia just for traveling and know how this country looks like. It never comes into my mind that I will study there. 

I still remember exactly in my mind that when I proposed my mom to study abroad, she is firstly asking about how was the tuition fee, why you should go there, why not in Indonesia and how can you survive there (as you know, I am weak and susceptible to illness). 

In order to answer those questions, at that time, I just came with some university brochures and have no clue on which countries to pick in. Since I doubt my mom will permit me to study abroad, considering my siblings are studying in local university, so I just came with general info to persuade her.

All of the sudden, after some weeks, she give me her "magical" approval and let me decide on which university to go. I was surprise and couldn't let this opportunity gone.Therefore, I decided to go to Melbourne with my best friend and chose business as my major study (actually my mom choose this major for me as she want me to do business in the future so, okay then I took her point).

I want to share how I I feel that sadness, craziness and happiness when I was in Melbourne, however it will took me a day to share hahaha. I think I should get back to the old point now. I will share those moments on my next post I promise.

After graduated, my dad forces me to go back to Indonesia and just finds a job here. I was crying on the day before I fly back to Indonesia because I just get in love with Melbourne and don't want to go back to my hometown. However, I don't have any support to let me stay there, so and have to for good. Sucks.

In the first few weeks after for good to Indonesia, I took my holiday to Singapore and met my friends there. Then, I got my first internship at an Australian's bank in Indonesia. A few months later, I got my permanent job at one of the Big 4 companies, as a tax consultant. 

I was 21 years old and became the youngest kiddo at the office. I got so many things to learn and office environment has definitely changed my life. However, I love my new me. I will get back on this on my next post! Stay tuned.

I need to hit the bed right now cause I have Sunday service tomorrow early morning.

Good night!
