Me in London Now

Just stumbled upon this blog again, after years..

Reading it, especially the draft folder just bring so much nostalgia

So I decided to just write again, now that I have time... 

Not for anyone, just for my self. I won't check my grammar nor ask chatgpt to correct me, I'll just write whatever I want, I guess. Since no expectation, and no one will really read but myself.

Let me talk about update, who am I now? Even I always question this everyday tho...

Do I really now who I really am, what's my purpose.

I live in London now, wow, never expected this. I mean, I've always imagined my self living abroad, but London, I don't think so. The US maybe sounds more like me, or even Paris. I moved to London in September 2024, to continue my master in King's College London. A school that I was only aware of the year before LOL. So it was not really part of my dream either I would say, but I'm still grateful. I left my job after 8 years of career. Great Career. I finally took a rest. I started to work literally after graduation not even a day gap. And I graduated in 3.5 year, so my last semester was HECTIC. I was ambitious, even now.

My master... I'd say the knowledge was not really important (?) I mean, I feel like everything they thought I already knew since I worked in business field for 7+ years already and I took entrepreneurship major. But the experience of master were fun. Very different education culture compared to Indonesia. I struggled a bit in the beginning of course. People are pushed to be critical here, to speak up their mind, to challenge ideas, while in Indonesia is more like a memory challenge. I like it, but I just need a bit of time to adjust. But the highlight of it is of course is the opportunity to meet people from different cultures, and this is always something that I like and admire. I really love to see diversities and how different backgrounds shapes someone personality and thinking. 

I am know working in a startup, when I say startup, it is really just started. I'm basically the first hire, the only full-time employee works there right now. Which have never crossed my mind before to be in this type of career. I always think that I'm a big corporate girlie, I love being part of big names, but then my experience working in Aeris really changed me. I fall in love with entrepreneurship, and to have different things to do everyday. I've always have a strong ownership in what I do as well, so I think I'm quite likeable to any of employer so far. I've always been a favorite to my previous bosses because I'm THAT dedicated. Especially now with a startup, I think you kinda need that spirit from your employee. I don't know maybe I'm just rambling around and put myself in a high position LOL, but that's what I think and that makes me feel good about my career, LOL. Especially that I got this job after months of searching. I mean in London it's very hard to get a job for everyone, but i think it was harder for others than me. I'm quite blessed that I got this job and turn out to be really enjoy it, so yeah i'm super grateful.

I hope that later I can be an entrepreneur myself. I think I can already start something, but somehow I don't? I did not grew up in an entrepreneurship culture, both of my parents are state employees. I used to sell stuffs since high school, but the money is for extracurricular not for myself so it's different still. I always lost of courage. Everytime I have an idea, I always ended up questioning it and feel doubtful. Especially if I need to invest my money on it, I always feel hesitant. Although I know I should only just start. But yeah, I need to beat my self in this matter maybe. I need to quit being coward.

A Collector Wannabe

gue punya beberapa koleksi (barang-barang yang enggak sengaja gue kumpulin terus tiba-tiba jadi banyak). ya, beneran gak sengaja. gue emang suka nyisain barang barang gak penting such as kartu nama yang sampe rumah pun juga bakal ke buang.. tapi ada juga ternyata barang-barang itu yang tiba-tiba gue sadar udah numpuk dan... yaudah gue lanjutin aja 'ngoleksi'nya. 1. koleksi gue yang pertama adalah kartu kunci hotel , emang, kartu hotel itu harusnya dibalikin,dan dibalik beberapa kartu gue ada tulisan 'please return this card to the receptionist' tapi dengan sedikit agak nakal gue biasanya cuma balikin satu kartu (biasanya dikasih 2 perkamar). seinget ingatan otak gue yang notabene kapasitasnya lumayan kecil, gue mulai ngumpulin kartu hotel gara gara gue emang suka nginep nginep di hotel, terhitung lumayan sering lah, sehari-duahari karna kepentingan dinas nyokap. biasanya cuma nginep di Jakarta, atau Bogor, walaupun hotelnya deket rumah juga gitu, tapi karna emang tun...
