For Good

I made a thank you video, to my amazing friends at AAB. I think this video summarizes all the things I've been through and all the fun I had.

For Good

Inventing Shadows

I love love love Dia Frampton from The Voice. Love her unique voice and her new solo Inventing Shadows.

Dia Frampton - Inventing Shadows lyrics


It's not surprising it could end like this
Your eyes are open even when you kiss
You're so distant
So cold, so resistant
You see the world in only gray and black
Now how can anybody live like that
Without screaming, without dying for dreaming

And you stare out the window at the passing cars
And you look at the sky, thank your unlucky stars
No you're never quite happy right where you are

So you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none, no there are none
Yeah you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none
You don't even see the sun, can't you see the sun

It can't be shocking I might want to leave
The way you're living's like you're half asleep
You just drain me
If I go who could blame me

And you stare out the window at the passing cars
And you look at the sky, thank your unlucky stars
No you're never quite happy right where you are, right where you are, with all that you are

And so you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none, no there are none
Yeah you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none
You don't even see the sun, can't you see the sun

You're so young, so beautiful, so flawless in my eyes
Don't you know the world shines
Every time you smile
Why can't you just smile

So you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none, no there are none
Yeah you keep on inventing shadows
Where there are none
You don't even see the sun, can't you see the sun

You dim the lights in the world I see
How I wish that I could still believe
Time to save me
If I go, who could blame me

The Greatest Gift Ever

Bu Yeni: Congratulations! You have been accepted at AAB, you can now go and tell your mother-in-law-to-be that you have a job.


I could never forget the day Bu Yeni said that to me (I have no idea why she said "the mother-in-law-to-be" bit though). I was relieved, well I was unemployed, a fresh graduate, and all I wanted was a job. And boy was I lucky to be recruited at one of the most prestigious companies in the country. I was ecstatic.

As I started working, I had so many mixed feelings. I began by being grateful for having a job in Jakarta. Then after I started my job it was stressful, then I found out that I had such an amazing team. I learned a lot of team work, I appreciate every support, every help, every argument. I love my team.

But a job is just a job, what makes it different in AAB is the atmosphere and the friendship. Just as I entered my second year, I met a lot of new friends which soon became my best friends. Never did I expect to gain so much from this job.

I'm gonna miss being mentored by CHA, REL and BAG.
I'm gonna miss the advise from my first friend in AAB, CAD.
I'm gonna miss being calmed down by DEY with his soft, calm voice.
I'm gonna miss the arguments with RGR, I believe she has learned to be meaner and tougher.
I'm gonna miss our so-called overtime and chits chats between hours with ETH and RWD.
I'm gonna miss CAA's wet hair in the morning and her slow slow response.
I'm gonna miss everything about AAB and everyone in AAB.

If I could crumple AAB into a mini pocketsize keyring, I would. It'll always be a part of me. Peace of mind :D
