I realized that I made a mistake when Rizky, on of my best friend SMS me in Saturday evening, he asked me about our appointment to make double date with Intan and Renisa, my girlfriend. I have forgot to cancel it, because I have to go for Jakarta.
I realized that when Rizky SMS me, 'BRO, STILL WE'LL GO TODAY ?'
Then I realized that I forgot this appointment. Damn! I leave a joyful moment with a complicated business for the sake of my future.
I answere: 'SO SORRY, KI. I WANT TO, BUT I MUST TO GO TO JAKARTA NOW! :( '
Rizky : 'Ooh , WHY ? OK CALL ME IF YOU WANT TO ARRANGE LATER'
Me : 'I AM SORRY BRO, BUT I HAVE TO REMAKE MY PASSPORT NOW! '
Rizky : 'PASSPORT ? YOU WANT TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY, RYAN ?"
Me : "YES, I WANT TO GO TO DUBAI'
Rizky : 'DUBAI? WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE ?'
Me : ' TO WORK, I MEAN MAKING MONEY '
Rizky : 'WHY SO FAR AWAY FROM INDONESIA ?'
Far away ? OK, let's take concern on this point. Why I wanna go so far away from Indonesia ? Because I want to enhanced my life. That's is, I wanna fight. I wan to go to some where that I don't have any family there, have no relatives, knowing about nothing there, even the language. But there are possibilities for me to progress, there is a chance for me to success. That's why I chose Dubai or Middle East, not poor countries.
I wanna survive, maybe I have to start from the scratch, but at least I have my education and MBA as Capital. So work in abroad could be the best challenge for me to success.
So I answer to Rizky : ' BRO, I HAVE TO ENHANCE MY LIFE. WORK IN A COUNTRY THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND YET THEIR LANGUAGE, AND HAVE NO FAMILY OR RELATIVES WOULD MAKE ME TO EMERGE MY BEST OF STRUGGLE, I AM PUSHED TO BE SURVIVE.
Rizky : 'OK THEN, BRO.GOOD LUCK ALL THE BEST FOR YOU. BUT BTW, WHAT ABOUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND ?'
Me : 'BRO, I TRUSTED OUR COMMITMENT, MOREOVER I HAVE TO COLLECT MONEY FOR US WHEN WE'LL
MARRIED, SO WHY MUST WORRY? PLEASE BRO... I HAVE TO GET OUT FROM COMFORT ZONE! '
It's a new beginning of my life. I am an MBA graduate now. And have obligation to use my skill in finance and operation management for the better of ummah.
Happy Eid Mubarak 1429 H. Again and again as usually Eidil Fitri tradition in Indonesia, we are the big families gathering in my grandma's home in Bandung.We all love our Grandma. We call her "Mbah Ti", she is 78 years lovely woman, and very inspired us.
Again this Eid has routin ceremony when the one and only time that my father and brother took prayer or Shalat in Shalat Id. Hah?! Well, not necessary to be surprised, it's usual for Indonesian people. Many Moslem people not uphold 5 daily prayers despite they convict that they are moslem.
Back to the gathering, when the Eid
