Mind Wanderer

It's almost 3 weeks in 2017. Happy belated new year, anyway. I personally happy knowing that I survived through the storm in 2016 :") Patience and faith are two things I learned the most during 2016. I found no motivation to write on this blog, recently. Work matters seem occupied my mind, my body, or even my soul (?) It's been 2017 already and I'm still feel like I'm lost in life, somehow. I still don't know if my journey right now is the right thing and the best path for me. Steve Jobs once said, "You cannot connect the dots by looking forward, but you can connect dots looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future." But my "dots" in life seems so errand and unconnected HAHA. Looking back, I majored in Science when I sat at high school. Going forward to uni life, I took Accounting as my major and Capital Market as my minor (oh God, look I AM DEFINITELY SO RANDOM); and finally here ...

It's almost two months since my last post. I've been neglecting this blog....for quite a long time. Sorry. But anyway I have few updates on my life (is my life somekind of TV series LOL). Lulus probation I finally passed probation period phew. Three months working here feels like A YEAR IN HELL *ups* hahaha. Intinya lega banget deh akhirnya resmi jadi karyawan tetap :") Bersyukur masih dapat kesempatan untuk bekerja dengan learning curve yang tinggi banget. I met so many people, discussed and collaborated with them. One thing I learned from working life is.... don't you ever ever be BAPER (bawa perasaan - read) or never include your feelings in work stuffs lol or simply being professional. Working life is much much cruel than school/campus life. The struggle is real. Challenge ke depannya di pekerjaan gue yang satu ini bakal semakin bertambah. Berharap semakin wise dan semakin mature juga buat menghadapinya. You can do it, Ni! Semangaaat :"D Update...

Happy birthday dear my 23-year-old me! Udah tua yak udah 23 aja :") 23-year-old selfie. Masih imut kan xD This time I think I don't have too many wishes. I just wanted to be healthy, happy and be more grateful :"D Bersyukur karena masih ada yang inget dan nyelametin :") On this birthday I was super happy cos my birthday is celebrated by my new office mates. Pagi-pagi pas training gak ada yang ngasih ucapan selamat ultah. Gue pikir ya wajar ajalah ya gak ada yang tau baru 3 minggu masuk kantor bareng. Eh tapi ternyata pas lunch malah di-surprise-in. Thank you ya guys~ Yha walaupun tulisan kuenya malah ala-ala orang lagi anniversary (mau anniversary piye sih lah wong pacar aja gak punya *nangis di pojokan*) RA Batch 2016 Kirain barengan tanggal ultahnya ternyata beda wk xD Udah gapaham lagi... One year older, one year wiser. I hope that this year is going to be amazing and I want to grow to be a more matured woman. Tahun ini juga tahun pert...

I'm back again. It's been two weeks since my first day to work as an IT auditor. So far so good (ya iyalah karena belum lembur gila-gilaan). All I did was sit calmly and listen to the training instructor. Terus juga sepanjang hari happy banget karena dapet lunch gratis + 2x snack time. Baru 2 minggu berat badan udah naik 2 kilo aje. I'm gonna enjoy this time to the fullest sebelum badai menyerang haha. Actually I'm coming back to the company as the former intern. I'm glad that most of them actually remember me :") And practically everyone is excited to see me. Working life might not be so bad then :") *pray hard* Terus update yang satu lagi.. ceritanya gue dapet birthday present in advance nih haha. Sejujurnya gak nyangka banget bisa menangin lomba blog :") Setelah ngeblog lama dari tahun 2007, akhirnya pecah telor yah haha. Terimakasih untuk Phillip Securities atas hadiahnya! Intinya sih bersyukur banget karena masih bisa dapet banyak berkat :...

Today I am officially starting my journey as an auditor (which means I am also officially ended my 5-months-hermit days). I know it is never easy to find a job after you graduated, but thank God I managed to secure a job within 4-months after my graduation. God is so good all the time :") I'm not gonna take anything for granted. Be grateful and maximize your own potential. Don't forget to pray. Let's FIGHTTT. And welcome "lembur" and "begadang" days.... :") Well, wish me luck! *demi bisa membahagiakan orang tua, jalan-jalan keliling dunia dan meningkatkan taraf hidup yeay xD*

Dalam postingan kali ini gue akan share tentang pengalaman gue ikut tes di PwC Indonesia (khususnya untuk divisi Risk Assurance); seperti yang sudah pernah gue janjikan sebelumnya.  As you all know , nyari kerja itu susahnya setengah mati. Ketika lo sudah berhasil dapat pekerjaan, stick with it dan bersyukurlah karena mungkin masih banyak lulusan S1 atau bahkan S2 di luar sana masih luntang-lantung nyari pekerjaan. Gue sendiri baru dapet offernya 4 bulan setelah gue lulus. Memang gak cepet untuk secured your very first job - for fresh graduates.  Jadi harus super-duper sabar ya karena tahapannya kan banyak :")  So, here it is the recruitment process of PwC Indonesia. Bagi yang lulusan Accounting, perusahaan alias Kantor Akuntan Publik (KAP) tiga huruf ini sudah tidak asing lagi. Bagi yang belum tahu apa itu PwC Indonesia, bisa klik di sini . Okay, here we go: 1 . Written Test Written test  ini bisa dilakukan via campus recruitment (untuk kampus-kamp...

"Hidup ini jangan dibiasakan yang instan-instan, Le, jangan mau gampangnya saja. Hal-hal terbaik dalam hidup justru seringnya harus melalui usaha yang lama dan menguji kesabaran dulu." - Ika Natassa, Critical Eleven Quotes tersebut "ngena" banget ke gue dan pas menggambarkan situasi yang terjadi belakangan ini. Kalau mau mendapatkan sesuatu, ya mesti usaha dulu. Yap, semua berawal di bulan Maret, tepatnya setelah gue mengakhiri internship  di salah satu perusahaan. Dua bulan lamanya hidup gue seolah dilanda kecemasan dan ketidakpastian. Gue dengan keukeuh -nya mempertahankan keyakinan kalau bisa dapet permanent offer di situ. Plan B pun tak punya, kalau seandainya gagal dapet permanent offer. Over pede sih bukan ya, tapi lebih ke "kepala batu" aja.

"When you were young, work to learn not to earn." - Robert Kiyosaki Sejujurnya menjadi auditor itu sebelumnya sama sekali gak pernah terpikirkan di benak gue. Dulu, sehabis lulus taunya cuma pengen kerja di perusahaan multinasional yang mapan, bagus dan terkenal, karier oke dan tentu saja sukses. Udah gitu aja. Tapi yang mungkin gue gak tau adalah untuk menuju ke sana memang dibutuhkan perjuangan yang keras. Image KAP alias Kantor Akuntan Publik di mata gue itu cuma satu kata : LEMBUR. Makanya dulu sempet sok-sok idealis gak mau nyobain KAP, eh tau-taunya kecemplung juga xD Udah hampir 3 mingguan ini, gue sedang menjalani magang di KAP 3 huruf tepatnya di divisi Risk Assurance alias IT Audit. Mungkin pada bingung kali ya, background gue Accounting tapi kok berani-beraninya terjun ke IT Audit. Tapi kenyataannya di divisi itu fifty-fifty lah yang backgroundnya Accounting dan Information System/Computer Science . Awalnya sih gue memang gak apply untuk posisi IT Audit, ...

Today is my last day of internship. I got mixed feelings. I felt so relieved that finally it's over so I can focus only on my thesis; but on the other side, I'm gonna miss the warm environment and the people there. They are all very nice and friendly :") Well, I used to think that being an entrepreneur might be cooler than just being an employee (or I should say : a professional) - because the job is so mundane at first; sitting all day from 8-to-5 looking to the computer, doing your task, e-mailing, meeting, etc. But this company has changed my mind and made me realize that IT IS OKAY to be a professional; as long as you take a 100% focus in it. Ah, I forgot that aside from my last day of internship, some of my colleagues were promoted today. Congrats, Mbak Niken, Mbak Lia, Kak Ricky & Mbak Ira. I wish you success for your career and future endeavors!

Hello! It's August finally. It means one month to go before I'm turning 22. Yes, I'm gonna be THAT OLD hahaha. It's time for Taylor Swift's song to continuously playing in my head. Can't believe time passed so fast. It feels like I just graduated from high school, but now I have to be ready to face a professional working-life. Today is the first day of 7th semester. Got no class anymore; thank goodness. I went to campus to submit my thesis topic. Really hope that my thesis proposal got accepted successfully and get a thoughtful and supportive mentor who can guide me during the writing process of the thesis. Thesis should be done in 3 monthsss! AMEN for that! Starting today onwards, I will try to write more posts in English so I could improve my English. I'm really sorry because this blog looks messier (and slightly boring) day by day since I haven't found the right thing to write here. Soon after I completed my internship, I will keep this blog update...

Di edisi Nulis Random kali ini gue mau sedikit share tentang pengalaman internship gue yang sudah berjalan hampir 1,5 bulan lamanya ini (dan tersisa 1,5 bulan lagi). I learned A LOT . Banyak hal-hal penting yang bisa gue pelajari dari pengalaman magang ini: Lesson learned #1  I know exactly what THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY - TGIF means.  Yes. Tadinya gue selalu kayak "apaan sih ini TGIF TGIF. norak lu semua." Tapi setelah magang, gue jadi ngerasain luar biasanya sensasi datangnya hari Jumat itu. Bahagiaaaaa banget xD Lesson learned #2 Kudos for all working parents!!!! Angkat topi beneran deh. Di kantor gue banyak banget yang anaknya masih kecil-kecil dan mereka tetap berusaha balanced antara working dan family life. Bahkan division head gue harus berkali-kali pumping ASI-nya di sela-sela jam kerja demi kasih ASI eksklusif buat baby- nya yang masih umur 5 bulan. Gue? Seminggu setelah magang tiap pulang pasti langsung tepar di kasur, udah gak kuat ngapa-ngap...

Hello, readers! I'm back again finally, after about a month of hiatus :") Want to share some updates. First of all, finally the sixth semester in college have done ! Akhirnya kelar deh semester enam yang penuh drama dan perjuangan. A lot of things have happened this whole one semester. I've done my best, let God do the rest. Harus siap juga menghadapi fakta bahwa nilai akan keluar di minggu ini :') Next, I'm finally got my first "official" internship in Adaro Indonesia, salah satu subsidiary-nya PT Adaro Energy Tbk. :") Dari awal tahun, udah targetin bulan Juni-Agustus harus dapet magang yang full-time . Post-it udah bertebaran baik di meja belajar dan kamar. Jadi tiap hari pasti ngeliat target itu dan puji Tuhannya tercapai! Now I really do believe the power of dreams!  Kebukti loh, mimpi-mimpi yang gue tulis di kertas-kertas beberapa sudah tercapai! Jangan pernah takut bermimpi! Di tempat kerja yang baru, bersyukur lumayan asik suasana...
