What's on my mind?

Hidup ini ternyata emang ga bsa diterka dan ga terduga.

Dulu waktu SMA, ga pernah terlintas sekalipun buat jdi koki. Buat kpikiran jdi Chef.

Mimpi gw apa yah dulu?

Ah...ya, jadi arsitek. Gw doyan gambar, org bilang gambar gw bagus, bla...bla...bla. Gw suka seni, and I like to build something. Mungkin itu alasan gw masuk IPA, selain IPA itu flexibel, gw bsa jalan kmn aja.

"Gw cuma ikut intuisi gw".

Gw jalanin hari2 gw di SMA. Mr. Lui, dy bilang ada 3 hal yg bsa bikin hidup orang bahagia di dunia ini. Yg pertama Love. Mencintai org, dicintai org, kasih sayang org di sekitar kita, bla...bla... maybe from lovers, hal yg blum gw paham sampe skrg. Yg kedua follow. Follow the rules, follow God, or anything. Yg terakhir Be Happy. Apapun yg terjadi .....be happy. Kerja setengah mati...be happy.
Now I see he's right.

Setelah 3 tahun di SMA, gw sadar klo uang ga bsa membeli segalanya, but maybe....I say it again..maybe money rules the world. Bukan secara aktif, tapi pasif. Gw dpaksa mengesampingkan mimpi gw dan mencari alternative way. Waktu itulah gw baru kenal yg namanya PERHOTELAN.
Gw lihat industri ini menjanjikan, prosperous, and of course cheap. Gw msk deh. And so...until present, I have another dream. Yg lama ga gw kubur, cuma gw simpen di safety box hingga waktu yg ga gw tentuin.

Skali lgi, intuisi.... Cruise. Sumpah, yg ini malah lebih ga kpikiran lgi. Waktu kuliah aja baru tau. Dan waw...jreng...now I'm on my way to work on cruise. Temen gw si bey bilang, gila yah duit, sampe dikejar kmn mana. Emang.

Yg satu ini gw ga pernah nyangka bsa gw kejar scepet ini. I mean, I'm still 20 years old. Yah ternyata, here I am. Sibuk training sana sini. Ngurusin dokumen sana sini. Medical check total. Marlin test. Hal2 baru bwt gw. Catatan: Gw blum lulus kuliah. Baru semester 5, tpi gw liat ada peluang bwt maju lebih dekat dgn mimpi gw, gw ga pikir panjang...ngapain sih pikir panjang? Ga ada kata nanti klo bsa skrg. Siapa yg tau kta mati besok?

Gw ga tau 10 tahun kdepan hidup gw bakal ky gmn. Sukses kah? Punya usaha kah? Sudah keliling dunia kah? Kuliah lgi di arsitektur? Married? I don't know, dan bahkan blum kpikiran. Who knows? Only God knows.

I'll Scored a Goal

Actually don't really care if there's anybody would read this page or not...I just want to say something ...
 "You'll never scored a goal if you don't take any shot"

a quote that I've heard before from a movie. Sounds like gambling for me...but somehow life is full of gambling for me ...don't you? But I don't want to write theory of probability or gambling theory, but something about the pursuit of my own dream....not interested huh? Hahaha, you can easily redirect to another page if you want....

The great thing is..I take a shot and somehow, accurately hit the target. I'm still a college student, studying in a small Hotel and Tourism Institute in a small city, Bogor, and never thought I would get this rare chance. At the time I have to choose my 2nd internship hotel? I came to a conclusion ...where should I go?
My first training in Holiday Inn Resort Batam is the best that I ever have, calculating my budget, calculating the experience that I would get, and all those opportunity cost, I came into a dead end.
So I put it aside, and get busy with my Restaurant Project, and then the door was open for me.

They say that you would have the opportunity to take shot in Star Cruise. Just take the first interview *the screening, you wouldn't have any loss even if you not accepted. I take it. So then, is it lucky or something, I hit all the screening process. Three interview passed. The first screening with the agents, the General Manager of the agency (Ms.Jill from Philippines) and then the Principal from the Star Cruise.

Wow...

I'm still at the age of 20, and it could be my first sail. It is a bless. Now I'm in Medical Check process and the result will comes up tomorrow.
