Life is upredictable [part 2]

Okay... again.. I has been placed in such a situation that make me contemplate.

On Sunday, June 26 2011, I wrote in this blog that 'Life is unpredictable' that briefly I told about how my office life is significantly change within 8 months.

Now it has been 7 months from that posting date, and I'm going to tell you some weird story that my office conditions are 'once again' changing dramatically.

It started 3 months ago that suddenly I got a new boss, but not replacing the old one, but she's as an addition. Let me draw the scheme of bosses in my company:
CEO --> BOSS 1 --> BOSS 2 --> BOSS 3 --> ME

Then the new boss that is externally recruited is becoming BOSS 4, and the scheme is change into:
CEO --> BOSS 1 --> BOSS 2 --> BOSS 3 --> BOSS 4 --> ME

Well, instead of getting a promotion, I even have a new boss?? Such a pity for me, but then at that moment, I has been able to cope with the situation, means that I'm not so desperate as it was before. I'm in the process of getting a new job outside, but in the meantime I'm still passionate to work and learn as many thing as possible. I'm just praying so that my new boss could bring happiness. No matter what.

Guess what, after 3 months, I got many surprise:

(1) BOSS 4 is getting so many critics from BOSS 3. As I ever mentioned before, BOSS 3 is very demanding to me. And she also do so to BOSS 4. This is actually kinda weird, as BOSS 3 is the one that recruit BOSS 4, so she should becoming a golden girl rite? I'm personally admire this BOSS 4 as she's very nice and kind person (at least until now, yea.. life is very unpredictable).

(2) BOSS 3 is resigned!!! wow... that is a good news for everyone, but unfortunately this boss is smart and knows everything, and she only has 10days to handover her job directly to her replacement. Aaaahh.. For me, this is also a disaster, because BOSS 1 and BOSS 2 will come after me (and to BOSS 4 who is still not knowing about anything).

(3) A job offer come to me.
Hahah.. I really never predict this one, as the job interview has been done since 2 months ago, and every recruitment process over a month that hasn't continued will be declared as failed. I'm in the situation that is not willing too much to move anymore as the environment is getting better (because of no 1 and no 2 above), but however, this job offer me an increase in salary at certain percentage that is most likely make many people move with logical reason. Money. Most of employee in private company has been trained not to be afraid of facing new challenges, including resigning and joining another private company that offer development.
But then, deep inside my heart, I still want to develop my skill in this current company. Let's say I has just learned about 40% of one valuable knowledge, and of course I'm very passionate to continue that learning.
So.. as BOSS 3 is in the process of resigning, I directly talk to BOSS 2 before I sign the offer. And another unpredictable moments happen.

(4) Unfortunately I only got a day length of being offered and then signing it.
So, to BOSS 2 I talk honestly that I'm having another job that offer me an increase, but actually I still love working in this company, but I definitely need money! And simply saying, I only give BOSS 2 time to consider whether I'm going to be promoted or not in only one day! But if then he decided not to do anything, then tomorrow I will have to resign. Gosh...
And you know what, BOSS 2 give me the promotion. effective next month.
And I'm staying in this company, rejecting the offer.

(5) After promoting, the scheme is becoming like this:
CEO --> BOSS 1 --> BOSS 2 --> BOSS 3 --> ME AND BOSS 4 is now equal

See?? in only one week, that were so many changes happen. And I'm stunned with my mind thinking about this all. Thing that I really never think before... is that BOSS 3 who used to be really awful, is the one who help to assure me to be promoted! Wow.....

Contemplating these sudden news, I was reminded by my husband:

“Dan dia lah yang menjadikan kamu penguasa-penguasa di bumi dan dia meninggikan sebahagian kamu atas sebahagian (yang lain) beberapa derajat, untuk mengujimu tentang apa yang diberikan-Nya kepadamu.” (QS. Al An’am : 165

“Maka tatkala mereka melupakan peringatan yang telah diberikan kepada mereka, kamipun membukakan semua pintu-pintu kesenangan untuk mereka; sehingga apabila mereka bergembira dengan apa yang telah diberikan kepada mereka, kami siksa mereka dengan sekonyong-konyong, Maka ketika itu mereka terdiam berputus asa.” (QS. Al An’am : 44)

Hopefully, I could be the person that is still 'down to earth'... Amin.

“Dan (ingatlah juga), tatkala Tuhanmu memaklumkan; "Sesungguhnya jika kamu bersyukur, pasti kami akan menambah (nikmat) kepadamu, dan jika kamu mengingkari (nikmat-Ku), Maka Sesungguhnya azab-Ku sangat pedih". (QS. Ibrahim : 7)

Allahu Akbar, Tuhan Maha Besar
and
Alhamdulillah, segala puji bagi Allah

Brian is coming into town...

Yehaa..



This night is supposed to be christmas night, where some people will sing "Santa is coming into town", and having their celebration. For them who are not celebrating Christmas, at least this weekend is 'pay weekend' or 'weekend setelah gajian' where everybody tend to get around the shopping mall and spend their money (And Jakarta tend to be in traffic everywhere on pay-weekend =P ).

And for me, I am going to sing.... "Brian is coming into town"....

Hahahahah..
Actually by having a son, I hardly can explain how grateful I am, how exciting the experience in spending time together with him, and how GLAD I'M AS A MOTHER! My son is becoming the center of my attention, my priority.
But at the same time, all of my activities, even on the 'pay weekend' is around him.
Today I've just had his hair cut, then bought a new shoes for him, then let him play around in Pondok Indah Mall, and then really wanted to go home as he got so sleepy. See??? I even never think about my needs or my own refreshing.
The Christmas holiday where we supposed to have holiday, is a full time for My Brian.

Well, surely I'm happy with that! or.. maybe I'm too dedicated to my son?
Hahahahahah...

Or... not like the other Mother, that doesn't work at the office, so their time at home is plenty, and they could do this and that when the baby is sleeping (like what I'm doin rite know...)
Or... not like the other Mother, that work at the office, but live in the same town with her parents, so in the weekend, Mother and Father could hang up or watch movies in the theater, and their children is with the granny..
Or... not like the other Mother, that have several baby sitters or maids, so they juz can leave their kids and have their own business.

I'm none of those mothers. I'm not a full time mom coz I'm working, but my mind is full of him!
Hahahahah....

So... in this holy nite.. Brian is coming into town, bring me thousand of gifts...

his smile.. =)

Life is unpredictable

It's been couple of months ago when I posted some notes down here.
And today before I start to curcol, I incidentally re-read my previous notes, when Brian is still 3months. I was surprised to find that, I have ever said "I miss office". Wow!
That note is in contrary with the one that I'm going to write rite know, about how I hate office!

All the things change in a sudden. The time when I wrote it, is when I was about to back from pregnancy leave. Times when I have a very nice boss, a solid team work, some lovely office's friend. I used to have an environment that make me fill high spirited to come to the office. To do the best that I can!

I never predict before, that my boss is going to leave me, my friends are dissapearing one by one.. That I didnt get any promotion but my responsibility is getting higher.. And stuck with boss who were too much demanding!

well, life is unpredictable that my working life is becoming messy compare with 8months ago.

Sadly, I can not quit from this office as easy as ussual. I have some reasons to hold me here. It means that day by day I will have to face the boss who I dont like.

I do really hope, by knowing that life is unpredictable, this annoying situation will chanpe in a sudden.

ABRAKADABRAaa !!

The end of my Pregnancy Leave

Yuhaaa... yuhu... hari ini hari terakhir aku senam... besok minggu hari terakhir aku nganggur cuti di rumah... dan hari senen besoknya, MASUK KANTOR LAGEEHHHH DEEE..
He he he... kbanyakan janji katanya mo nge share ini dan itu di blogger, niatnya ingin membantu ibu2 lain atau bapak2 lain yang sedang mengalami 'the exciting of having a baby', supaya ada cerita buat sekedar referensi gitu..
Ternyata... TOO MANY TO BE SHARED, MAKE ME NOT SHARING ANYTHING
wkakakakakakakakakka

Lepas dari penantian panjang 40minggu pregnancy time, trus dederdoer nya melahirkan normal, ditambah bgadang tiap malem slama 2bulan, pluuss lucu2nya my baby di usia nya yg 3 bulan ini, membuat saia akhirnya ga posting apa2 di blogger. Cerita jadi begituuuuu luas, ilmu jadi begituuu beraneka... menurut dia bener, blm tentu bs di apply di kondisiku, ataupun sebaliknya. Belum lagi exciting nya becomming a new mommy, rasanya semuaaaaa pengen ditulis n dicritain. Belum smpat cerita, uda ada cerita2 baru yg lebih menarik besokan nya. Nah loo...

Yawsdah.. intinya adalah, belajarlah dari berbagai sumber, dan jgn keburu percaya pd 1 hal saja, karena your baby is UNIQUE! Punya karakter yg very customized. Dan karna tiap orang tua ingin yg terbaik buat anaknya, banyak2 bertanya pd yg lebih brpengalaman, baca buku/majalah, browsing internet, and DON'T NEVER EVER STOP LEARN TO BE THE BEST PARENTS!

Terakhir... sebelum kembalinya saya bekerja dan cicitcuit lagi dengan temen2 kantor (itu tuh yg bikin kadang2 bahwa 'kerja' itu ngangen'in, gak melulu buat mengeluh2 aja), mo saia pajang lah disini poto anak saia, si kecil Brian yg semogaaa.. makin lama makin lucu n nge gemesin, semoga... sehat sentausa berbahagia sampe gede, dan semoga... jd anak yg pinter yg bs dibanggain kedua orang tua nya.
Amin..

Waiting for My NewBorn Baby

Again, waiting is sumthin that could make you crazy..

If I count with mathemathic calculation, today is 40weeks 1 days of my pregnancy period,
which means... My Baby is supposed to have been born!
But well well well... I have to be patient.. The baby have his own day, maybe one of BEST DAY which has been planned by God to him.

I've been asking to everybody bout pregnancy, bout normal baby birth, baby daycare.. but the most difficult moment, I think, is
baby birth moment!

Yea.. maybe part of me feel kinda 'post power syndrome' hihihi.. Because I've been taking my maternity leave since a week ago, and I really feel bored being at home without activities. I've tried to do this and that, but I can't concentrate, coz deep down in my heart, I really wait for him, I really miss my baby..
Arrgghhhhhhh...

Baby birth knowledge

(1) Contraction
I've been experiencing this since 3days ago.
I asked my friends bout contraction, the difference between contraction before baby birth, or feeling want to pup, or 'masuk angin', hi hih... And they are right. Sick of contraction is like you have your 1st day menstruation. Only women know this. I could not describe it. My daddy said, we have to differ it with 'braxton hicks' or 'kontraksi palsu'. The real contraction as a sign of baby birth will have regular rhythm, maybe start with once in 30minutes, then every 15minutes, then 10minutes, than 5 minutes.
Not as easy as it told, coz since 3 days ago, I can not describe the braxton hicks, or regular rhythm, or juz wanna have pup.. AIYAAAAAA... It's just almost the same. Then when you should decide to go to the hospital before it's too late?
Well, some people suggest me to go to hospital only after 'YOU CAN'T SMILE ANYMORE', means, the sick of contraction is unbearable. But that condition will only apply if you could reach the hospital as soon as possible. If it's not, it will be more safe if you stand by in hospital since the contraction is regular in 10minutes.

Up to this moments, only contraction thing that I feel, thing that I could share.
This is waiting time.. maybe I will update the knowledge later, after I've been felt it, one by one steps towards a baby born

ARGGGHH... hope through this note, I could be more patient..

the ART of Fried Banana

alias pisang goyeng...

Ceritanya skrg lg demen ma pisang goyeng, ntah bawa'an bayi ato gag, tp bukan beli loh.. maunya bikin sndiri di rmh. Soalnya kalo beli, biasanya pisangnya ga manis, trus keras, dll. Pokognya kalo beli pisang goreng, slalu hasilnya tdk memuaskan.

Percoba'an pertama bikin pisang goreng, langsung donk.. sperti kata nyak n babe aye di rumah, bikinlah dengan menggunakan pisang raja, coz, according to my family, it's the best pisang utk digoreng. Trus beli pisang raja di kerpur, eee.. kog hasilnya kagak enak? naahh ternyata sodara2, kesalahan saya yang pertama
1# Pakailah pisang raja yang benar2 matang dan sudah empuk. Karna jika tidak, pisang raja yang masi mentah, rasanya akan sepet2 di tenggorokan, gak manis dan gak empuk.

Kemaren wkt hari minggu, eee ada tukang pisang liwat dpn rumah, langgsunng deh aye beli ntu pisang, murah lo buu, 1 sisir gitu cuman 7ribu rupiah sahaja (klo di kampung ane mungkin lebi murah yak?). Trussss... ternyata wkt mo masak pisang goreng me and husband dah kburu capek, n akhirnya ga jadi de..

Dasar ngidam, uda kebayang2 kan tu pisang raja yang dibeli, uda mateng... uda empuk... hmm.. pasti manis dah. Lusanya baru deh bela2in, pulang kantor bikin ntu pisang goyeng. Tapi percobaan kedua ini salah lagi, soalnya husband ga ngegula'in itu tepung buat si pisang, malah dilada'in and digarem'in. Alasannya mo bikin rasa baru, manis gurih.. tapi jadinya malah bakwan pisang yang ammburadull
2# Pakailah tepung terigu yang original, kalo bs jangan pake tepung instan. Trus, jangan pake bumbu tepung bakwan, nanti kaco beliau rasanyah. kikikiki

Nah.. trus hari ini hari libur lagi nih.. sudah bertekad, si pisang yang 1 sisir itu masi banyak yg blm digoreng, dan hari ini udah muateennggg buanget sampe beberapa agak benyek. Dah bertekad pingin dibikin pisang goreng kipas biar cantek bentuknya. Tapi ternyata si kipas malah ancur. That's another mistake..
3# Kalau pisangnya baru mateng, boleh lah dibentuk kipas. Tapi kalo udah kematengan or rada benyek, lebi baek bentuk gelondongan aja, karna si pisang uda rapuh klo dibikin kipas dia bakal ancur minah

Trus husband lagi2 bikin percobaan, si tepung terigu original ntu dicampur ma Energen kacang ijo, trus di dalem si pisang disisipin keju and meises, ditutup, dibalurin tepung, trus digoreng. hasilnyaaa?????
ENAAAAKKKKKK

Akhirnya.. ngidam pisang nya terpuwaskan.. hohohoho....
