this morning

I awaked on (not sure) 3:30 am this morning, my stomach was hurt and i can't do anything. My husband realized that i was diaturbed and suddenly awaken. He asked we waht i felt and tried to comfort me. He was looking after me until the adzan prayer. He asked me not to come to the office today, but this will be my last three days in the office, some stuffs gotta be settled before i go.

Some people says i'm a lucky girl (like Mocca's song uh?). To have a husband like him, so gentle and full of attention, he's unlike romantic person who's gonna send you flower to the office, or bring you a box of chocolate on valentine's day. Nope, so not him. Well, my husband will bring me chocolate anytime he found my favorite chocolate, it doesn't have to be valentine's day. He never brings me any flowers ever, because he knows i don't like flower arrangements, he would prefer to buy me some plants and letting me arrange my own garden in front of our house 'cos he knows i like it.

I thank Allah for our marriage. I hope Allah will always taking care of us and the family.

there was a time..

Since my last day would be the next few days. Let me tell you how i arrived here. I was previously working at a consulting company, they're creating, running, and implementing IT and management consulting to sume huge company all around the world. As a clue, Tiger Woods was our brand ambassador (before the 'hot' news ofcourse). Some of you may know, some don't, it's understandable since not all the people interesting in IT and Management consulting right? Anyway, no, i am not a consultant, i was working there in enterprise as an HR Support. Actually my job at the time was calculating reimbursement for employee benefits, invoices, medical insurance, and anything related to the allowances, acompesation and benefits, that would be me. The other HR handling recruitment, and accidentaly i have to replace her on campus recruitment due to her sick-leave. So there i was in Binus University with numbers of IT graduate searching for jobs. We had a high standard (seriously high)for graduated students who wan'ts to apply. If you're IT graduated student and your GPA was below 3.5 (out of 4) we're gonna have to skip you. So our booth was rather uhm.. empty. Only 10 to 15 students drop by and asking how they can drop the CV (we don't accept hard copy CV).

It's just like the opposite, the booth next to mine was crowded all the time, the queuing was almost always full and in a long line. student seemed enthusiastic to get their opportunity to drop the CV over there. I can't be more agree, it was obvious since the company was (and still) well known and now it's an affiliate of the biggest tobacco company in the world, well, more reason to get interested in joinning uh?

But at the time i was happily working at my office, people there were fantastic, even until two years after my resignation i still keep in touch. But you know, maybe Allah got another plan for me at the time. One 'bule' from the next booth came to my booth and told me that he was also working for my company about 20 years ago. I said twenty years ago i was still 2 years old, he laugh and started telling me his story. Long chit-chat and eventually he invited me to his booth (the crowded one). Sorry, i forgot, his initial name was KDC (everyone in my office's finance know this initial) and i didn't know that he was the CFO at the time, whoaa!!

So, he introduce me to a lady, later i knew that she was also a director like him. I just didn't know why she directly offer me a job, a permanent one with pension plan, medical that i never had as a contractor, and many other allowances. Oh yeah that fast! the next month i resigned from my lovely office and move here.

I never know that i'm gonna have to resign (again) one day, and only God knew the day is just few days from now. It was not because i don't like it here, i have to admit this company offer me a bright future. But uh, no. I have to set my priority, in fact, working all the time was never be my real dream. As a matter of fact, i hates working overtime and exhausted everytime i got home. I also hates people yelling and panicking while facing some crazy deadlines. Pressure all the time trust me it's sucks. But that's office dude. What do you expect right? anywhere you work, i think it'll be the same ahaha... (not sure about this one actually).

I'm enjoying house-work, being a wife, and later a mother. I do cook, make some cakes, wrapping, gardening, and stuffs. What i really want and i think would be the best for me is probably doing business, but, still dunno when to start, where to begin, but yes i have something (lots of things in fact) in my mind. Let's hope, after pregnancy and delivery i can started something new, something i really enjoy, something that keeping me close to the family, something that i can control and i will not be exhausted anymore. The best part of this scene is my dearest husband always by my side, giving me support and love for the family.

another life scene

It's been a while i don't write anything here.. My body was (and still) experiencing this hormonal-expansion, i keep vomiting and throwing out all of the food i just ate. To be honest, i still don't know what is the exact word to describe this symptoms, but i feel it's getting worse day by day..

My doctor gave me a whole week bed-rest, so i took a whole week day-off from the office. I guess it was the best thing that i can do at the time. I can't work, my head felt like burning when i saw the screen. At lunch, my throat couldn't find it's way to do 'peristaltic' so the food i eat keeps coming out and out and out, and i'm starving.. GOSH.. So this is confirmed, that my resignation is the best thing at least for now.

Resign? Yep. I have to concentrate to my pregnancy. I lost it once and i will not let it happen again. I did tell my bos about this and they understand. Especially Mr. Zyzanski.

Irek (Mr. Zyzanski's nickname), just invited me to have lunch yesterday. It was my first day back in the office after bed rest. We took a Chinese resto downstair at Crystal Jade and ordered some food for two. So he started to ask me about my pregnancy, how is my life going lately, and about my family. He even asked how i met my husband, hahaha.. Well, it was thoughtfull, i mean maybe he's the best supervisor i have ever had. He and his family are such nice people.

I told Irek that i cannot keep working with this condition. Keep vomiting while working is not an option to me. I can't give my support for the office while my body myself also needs support.

We also talk abou what am i going to do to kill the boreness after resigning, how my husband will support the family without me working, about how expensive baby are.. and eventually he said that 'There might be sleepless night, cries, and stuffs. But when you see them -children- everything is paid. They make uhm... complete is the rigt word'

To be honest, I do not worry at all about my resignation, i think what i do is worth than anything. I understand that things will financially crucial after having a baby, i have to admit that baby is expensive, they grow up and need some protection, food, clothes, and education later. But i believe, when Allah gives me this baby it means that Allah has a plan for us, for the baby, for the family. I believe that Allah is there with his plan, and first thing i have to do is to keep what Allah gives to me.

Irek also said that my decission is appreciated. He said that we can not eat Elephant as a whole Elephant, we have to eat it peice by piece, and my first piece is to keep my baby safe and healthy. I agree. You can't live a life and being bitchy and selfish by expecting too much.

My baby now is 9mm height, still tiny :)
it's my tenth weeks and, me and my husband really excited, why do i want to expect more than this?
Thank you Allah..
