Live your life with good intentions

Still learning about life and keep trying to become a better “me”…

Work for God

Well, it’s been around 5 months since my last written. I’ve drawn by work this last months. Analyzing, evaluating, assisting, out of town works, reports, and all about office. Here you are my daily work activities :

06.15 am : My alarm ring and then I will postpone it for several time and then finally wake up at around 7.15. Sometime, I wake up earlier, especially when my neighbour get disturbed by the ringing of my alarm and yell me. Hahahaha….

07.15 am : I turn on music or television to hear latest news for several minutes while eat snack. I usually -berry enjoy this activities and then shocked by the time. Damn! It almost my work time, I have to take a bath quickly!

07.30 am : Extra fast bath time, extra fast get dressed and make up. Ok, I dont do make up, it wasting time. Last, extra fast ironing cloth. I usually late for about 5-10 minutes at the office. Work time start at 08.00. Hahahaha! And then, I will enter my room with a big wry smile to my supervisor. My wry smile works well until this time to prevent my supervisor anger. =p

08.10 am until the work end or I end up the work. The work time end at 05.00pm, but I almost never find my work end at 05.00pm. But, it’s not a big deal actually, I quite enjoy work. I don’t do anything at home, beside. My highest record work time is went home at 00.30am. Haha! I challenge you to break my record. But do you know, even my self don’t want to break the record until now.

Usually when I arrive at home, I wash my face, eat snack or fruit while watching news, read bible, pray, sleep. Haha! You are right, I seldom take a bath at night. I’m too lazy to do that. No one will smell me at night, I sleep alone. That’s the best part of being single I guess. No objection to my lazyness at all. Hoho!

And these last 5 months, I’ve visited several town for work matter, Manado, Makassar, Donggala, and Parigi. Not bad, huh!

Some of my friends called my workaholic and other called me stupid. Some say I should learn to say NO for some task which is not my jobdesc and the other ask me to recalibrate my “OVERLOAD” standard.

When you learn to work for God, you’ll find my perspective in defining “WORK”. Don’t do the job for your leader, don’t do the job for your work mate, don’t do the job for the salary, don’t do the job for pride, don’t do the job for complimentary. Do the job for God.

One last thing, “Don’t feel bitter that people remember you only when the need you. Feel privileged that you are like a candle. You come to their mind first when they’re in the dark.” (anonim)

Live high! Live mighty! Live righteously!

Jealousy

Feel a little bit jealous to my little brother, Sander Sonambela, for having such a brilliant brain, extraordinary mind, and outstanding achievements. He is the one to accomplish my parents dream : enter the medical faculty. He is our family pride for sure, for having so much (much mean uncountable! =p) achievements in lots of competition. Lesson competitions, sports competition, even music competition! He is a great basketball team member. He is also a great guitarist and vocalist for his band. He always at the top rank in his class since elementary school. And you know what, he had followed The International Astronomy Olympic at Siberia when he was at high school. He represent Indonesia at that time. What a brother! Sometime, I want to be like him indeed.

Feel a little bit jealous to my best friend, Uyach, for having such a great mindset, high consistency, best decision maker with high level analysis ability, great planner, and a superstition money organizer. She owned a house at this age and walk steadily at her life path right now. Live her life with a lot of dreams and life targets. Sometime, I want to be like her indeed.

Feel a little bit jealous to my best friend, Gitta Angelina Wunas, for her understanding about life, her effort and courage to find that understanding, her instant mind and un-platitude attitude, for always can simplify something complex and easy going. Sometime, I want to be like her indeed.

Feel a little bit jealous to my Manager, I Nyoman Sujana, for having a fired enthusiasm, very stable emotion,  accountable integrity, the decision maker machine with an outstanding intelligence, great sense of humor even in under pressure condition, for his leadership. He always can stand tall in the neutral line, without partiality at one side. What an objective leader. Sometime, I want to be like him indeed.

Feel a little bit jealous to my leader now, Edy Saparta, for always think other first than him self, for his ability to bother by nothing, for his trust to other and forgive-easily attitude, for his positive mindset. Sometime, I want to be like him indeed.

Feel a little bit jealous to my work mate, Nelly Kornelia, Fikran A. Harun and I Made Aris Sastrawan, for their stable emotion and good listening ability, for being such a patient person and never against other directly, for their appease way in convincing other, for their calm and high tolerance to other, and for their steady persevering. Sometime, I want to be like them indeed.

Feel a little bit jealous to my work mate, Rocky Kalisang, for his marvelous sense of art, his amazing design ability, and the way he mastering and enrich his ability, for his high interest and talent in IT, for his obstinacy in facing his tough days, for his unique way in builds communications and for his sincerely help, without re-compensation. Sometime, I want to be like him indeed.

Feel a little bit jealous to many other person! Ranauers, Ms. Irma Savitri & Ms. Jusni, Kun’s Family, High School and College mate, Elin & Dian, Mrs. Jernia Panto, Ms. Darmawaty Mokoginta, Mrs. Ni Nyoman Rani, My Parents, Aunties and Cousins, Mr. Freddy Lihawa, Mrs. Zesty Lania, Mrs. Lili Suwardy, and other. Sometime, I want to be like them indeed.

You know what? Maintain your jealousy positively won’t bring you down. It does helps me to understand this life. That everyone is special in many different way. In the end, we are all in the same class of School of Life, maybe in different grade. We are all got the same lesson, maybe in different schedule. The most important thing is to not loosing your self while valuing other too much and forgetting that you are special too. Because every one of us are pieces of rough diamonds. What make you different is the way you polish your self into a special-unique-beautiful shape of diamond. Every piece of shaped diamond will match to other pieces of diamonds and in the end we will create a great puzzle life art. Type of shape you’ve chosen will determine which other puzzle match your shape. Because life is a work team project. You can’t finished the puzzle by your own self. The puzzle won’t complete if we loose one piece.

So, rough diamonds, let’s polish our self and work together. Not to compete to another, but to complete our life puzzle. We are all have important role in this gigantic life project.

Hey JC, just want YOU to know, that I feel a lot of jealous to YOU. For your wisdom and indefinite love. Almost loosing my self while valuing YOU too much. Big hug for YOU!

Laughing This Life

Just had a big laugh with my best friend, Aris, at the public transportation this evening.

We were laughing at this life. How this life can piss us off easily and bring so much happiness at a time.

We were laughing at his past. How his past came back suddenly in the name of  “building communication” but brought the most inconvenience news at the same time.

We were laughing at his tough days lately. How his day could deeply painful, but he still have power to laugh and discuss about those suck days and looks back with a big smile.

We were having a lot of laugh while riding the public transportation. And I’m still laughing at the moment.

I’m laughing at our self. How we can still have option to laugh in the most aggravate situation.

I’m laughing at those bad situation to deal with. I can’t deal with it better than him probably, but I’ll choose the option to laugh at it for sure, just like he did.

I’m laughing at those silly option while realizing how “Laugh with Friend” can helps us move forward and contribute a lot in our maturity process.

I’m laughing at this world. How the mountains will keep stand tall, flowers will keep bloom, clouds will keep moved by the wind, Aris’ll still be silly and ugly, and I’ll still be smart and beautiful after all. Every awesome and outstanding spot still waiting for us to discover with after all. Mountains with those beautiful views still waits us to climb it patiently. Coral and underwater life still in it’s place and waiting for the adventurer like us.

Life problems will not bring any change to the world and the world still wait for us to discover it consistently. It’s us who can be changed negatively by the problems but it’s also us who can be changed positively. What make us special is we always have option.

Life keep moving forward no matter what.

I’ll choose to discover the undiscover world, looks back with my big sincere smile, and steps my feet forward surely, how about you?

Be Energized, pals!

I Guess I Start To Love Palu

Wah, udah lama banget e gak updet blog. Kangen nulis n lagi males buka2 kamus. So, here you are. Published in Bahasa.

Palu akhir-akhir ini mulai terlihat sedikit indah dimataku. Apa mataku perlu kalibrasi ulang karna standarnya mulai gak beres ato mungkin Palu memang indah, hanya saja selama ini aku melihat Palu dari sudut yang salah? Hehe… *whatever* Setelah hampir 1 tahun di sini, ternyata Palu had few beautiful spots, I found many new nice persons here and nice work atmosphere. Aku sangat menikmati saat-saat hening memandang lampu-lampu Palu dari ketinggian saat malam. Selalu berasa natal saat menatap lampu2 malam Palu.

Selalu ada hal-hal lucu dan konyol yang kami *read : aku dan sahabat-sahabatku* tertawakan setiap waktu. Pokoknya kita gak ketawa cuman pas tidur doang. Seperti beberapa minggu lalu. —flash back— Waktu itu aku kerja di kamar sampe jam 05.00 subuh. Kelar kerja, pastinya langsung pingsan kayak babi *read : tidur nyenyak* dong. Paginya, as predicted, aku telat bangun buat ngantor. Karna udah jem kantor aku belum juga keluar2 kamar, temen kosku yang sekaligus temen kantor, si Made Bontet beritikad baiklah ngetokin kamarku :

Bontet : *tok! tok! tok!* Yuriiii….. Kamu gak ngantor kah?

Me : Siapa diluar? *sambil nangis2*

Bontet : Ini Made, Yuriii… *rada panik, kok ditanya baik2, aku malah sesungukan di dalem kamar*

Me : Siapa diluar? Siapa di depan pintu? *masih nangis*

Bontet : Yuriiii, nda kerja kah?

Me : Kerja? Ini kan hari jumaat! *kayaknya mulai sadar*

Bontet : Ini hari selasa, Yuriiiiiiiii!!!!! *sigh! ternyata masih belum sadar*

Me : Oh! Ya Ampun! Ya udah, kamu duluan aja berangkat! *Nah, kali ini 100% udah sadar*

ps. Please kindly note, kalo percakapan diatas didokumentasikan oleh si Bontet, soalnya aku gak inget ngomong apa ke dia. Haha! Namanya juga ngigo, bro! And you know what? Kejadian itu menjadi “Hot Topic Of The Day” !!!! Dan masih dibahas sesekali sampe sekarang sambil ngakak abis2an. Hahaha!

Well, Kalo itu ketololan di Kos, aku jg sering kali *read : almost all the time* membuat beberapa ketololan di kantor :

  • Pagi itu kerjaan emang lagi banyak-banyaknya and ada beberapa surat pagi itu mesti udah dikirim. So pagi-pagi dateng di kantor, langsung ngecek surat itu di ruang Sekertaris Manajer. Sial! Belum ada orang. Aku balik lagi ke ruangan kerja. 15 menit kemudian, ngecek lagi. Haduuuh, pintunya aja masih terkuncii!!! Karna kesel, *dhuak!* pintu ruang Sekertaris Manajer ku tendang. Pas balik belakang, Ups! Manajer pas udah di puncak tangga, berjalan kemari, untungnya aja “sepertinya” dia gak liat aku. *Kabuuuuurrrr!!!* Aku pun lari kembali ke ruangan, dan langsung menutup pintu *merasa aman*. Sayup2 suara Manajer terdengar, ” Yuriiii!!!” Ups! Kayaknya ketahuan deh. “I-i-iya Pak,” menjawab lemas. “Kenapa kamu mengendap-ngendap di ruangan saya?!” berteriak dari Ruang Sekertaris Manajer (ps : ruangan Manajer bersambung dengan ruang Sekman. Sebelum masuk ke Ruang Manajer, mesti lewat Ruang Sekman dulu) “Ti-tidak P-paak!” menjawab pasrah, setengah berteriak, dari ruanganku. “Hahahahaha!” terdengar suara tertawa manajer dari ruangannya. *sigh!*.

 

  • Pernah rapat kinerja ampe tengah malam. Pas udah jam 12 malem asli udah ngantuk buanget. Ya udah, aku kabur keluar. Niatnya cuman duduk2 cari angin. Eh, malah ketiduran. Sialnya lagi, malah kedapatan manajer. Dan lagi-lagi dia tertawa.
  • Other stupidity : Kalo rapat, biasanya ada kopi & snack. So, udah jadi kebiasaan buat nyari sedekah kalo manajer rapat. Tanpa sepengetahuan manajer tentunya. Hehe. So, waktu itu, dengan percaya diri aku bawa gelas kosong buat minta kopi panas gratis di ruang sekertaris manajer. Aku mendorong pintu dengan full power dan berteriak nama Sekertaris Manajerdengan penuh semangat, “Ibu Wiwik!” . Ups! Manajer ternyata lagi duduk di situ. O’ow. Terpaksa nyengir kuda, “Bu, bisa minta air putih?” sambil memandang teko kopi panas dengan menyedihkan. Manajer kali ini asli ngakak, bro! Da**!

*Yuri, yuri. Mental mahasiswa nyari gratisan masih aja dipelihara*

Yah itu, hanya beberapa dari sekian ketololan lainnya yang kedapetan oleh Manajer. Somehow, aku sedikit heran, kenapa ketololanku selalu ketahuan oleh Manajer??!!! Nasiiib, nasiiib! Hahaha!

Yah diluar semua kehebohan dan kegembiraan itu, beberapa hari belakangan ini lagi degradasi semangat. Pengen males-malesan n liburan *dari dulu juga males dul*. Pengen cuti *padahal blum dapet jatah cuti*. Tiap ngantor, ngeliatin jam muluuu, nunggu jam pulang. Tiap jumat euforia tingkat tinggi karna besoknya libur, tiap minggu malem hilang semangat karna besoknya ud ngantor. Hahahaha! Lebay ah! Setelah kupikir2, kutimbang, diaduk sampai rata, dimasukkan ke pemanggang selama… eh, kok jadi resep masakan??! Setelah ku pikir2, mungkin mulai jenuh dealing with SDM activities. Lebih tepatnya, sangat merindukan aktivitas engineering. Dan semakin lama dealing with something un-related with engineering, bukannya makin mahir dan mencintai pekerjaanku, malah makin jatuh cinta sama engineering *gubrak*. Yah, keep reminding my self, for whom I chose this path, for persons that I love so much more than that silly life target. I might not love this job, but I love them -berry much, and that’s more than enough to convince me in this path. Semangat!!! Be energized!

And after all, do you agree with me that Palu is quite beautiful?

Your Book

Will you still write down my name at your next pages or my name will just become another name at your last written chapter and will be remembered sometimes when you want to read your past pages at your book?
