Renungan malam teruntuk adik Jeffry dan Hana

It's been a long time since my last post..
Well, life's changed hahhaa.. Banyak hal yang belum terekam dalam jejak kata-kata dalam blog ini dan sejujurnya aku pun sudah tak bertenaga menuliskannya satu per satu.. namun coba kuringkas dalam sebuah cerita yah..

Dalam blog ini secara khusus ingin kusampaikan untuk dua adik kesayangan, Jeffry dan Hana.. mereka dua adik yang kukenal sejak masa kuliah.. bersama kita berbagi dan bertumbuh di klub Bahasa Inggris di UMN.. dua- duanya punya prestasi yang sangat membanggakan.. Hana terpilih sebagai perwakilan PPIKOR tahun 2014 dan sekarang sedang ambil gelar master di Belanda. Jeffry, si maniak exchange kemarin ini ikut PPIK tahun 2014 dan AKAN ke Taiwan juga buat lanjut sekolah.. So proud of you guyss..

Okay pasti kalian bingung apa maksud blog ini yahhh.. Well, keep reading then!

Setelah beberapa lama tidak ngobrol panjang, malam ini aku ketemuan sama Cink.. cukup happy karena tadi meetingnya cepet selesai makanya bisa langsung lanjut ngobrol hehe.. Well, intinya as usual kita mengupdate kehidupan sih.. ngomong heart to heart.. #halah..

Tapi ada satu hal yang bikin aku agak tersentuh dan merefleksikan apa yang Cink sampaikan..

Cink: "Ci.. kemaren pas gw ketemu Jeffry dia bilang "Sedih deh Ci Quin yang gw kenal sudah berubah, dia udh bukan cici princess yang punya mimpi sekolah di luar negeri.. Sekarang dia udah realistis.. Padahal gw sama Hana jadi bermimpi tinggi karena Ci Quin."

Me: ....

Well.. jujur sepenggal kalimat itu membuatku berpikir..
Berpikir sejenak.. Do I change?
Am I no longer a dreamer??

Thank you Jeff and Hana..
Thank you Cink..
Thank you for letting me take a side time to think about myself..

Hampir tiga tahun menjejaki dunia kerja sebagai budak korporasi.. ternyata tanpa sadar aku sudah lama tidak bernapas, untuk berpikir tentang aku dan anganku..

Well,, if I may say.. My life (except my weight) now is pretty much what I want to be..
Dulu ketika sedang menyusun rencana hidup yang aku ingat betul aku pernah bilang:
"Pokoknya gue mau kerja di PR consulting, alasannya biar kursus akselerasi, cepet belajar across industry and clientele. Trus after 2-3 years gw mau pindah ke industry biar masuknya langsung mid level, habis itu mau cari beasiswa syukur2 dibayarin kantor mau S2 di US. In the end, after 10 years I wish I could be quoted in the mass media as the head of communication of PT XXX. I am the face of the company lalalallalallala.." 

"Gw mau jadi wanita karir, kerja di gedung tinggi, kantoran cantik, ketemu banyak klien, ngomong campur2 bahasa Inggris, coba2 tempat2 baru, travelling at least once a year, beli barang2 yang gw mau beli by my own.."

Then.. Harusnya aku bersyukur..
That's exactly what I'm doing right now..

But then again, is that enough? Tetep aja manusia ngeluhnya tetep aja ada..
Stress klien, stress pressure, stress gak bs survive, stress karena  intinya REALITA itu gak seindah MIMPI.

well.. skrg aku memang lagi stress2nya kerja.. stress2nya mengatasi  bahwa EKSPEKTASI tak sesuai REALISASI..

Masih ak ingat siang itu, makan siang bersama Jeffry di Kokas setelah sekian lama tak bersua.. Pembicaraan hari itu memang terasa flat dan dingin.. Ak tak seantusias biasanya, lebih ke flat, bahkan agak terburu2 mengingat harus segera balik ke kantor.. I was so boring hahahaha... That's why he said I have changed..

Malam ini.. aku punya kesempatan untuk berpikir..

Dear Jeff and Han,

Aku masih Ci Quin yang sama kok.. Aku masih punya mimpi.. Even bigger than ever.. Hanya memang prioritasnya berbeda, aku tak seluang dulu untuk memilih, but I have more than enough options to choose.. Bersyukurlah kalian yang masih bisa menjalankan apa yang kalian impikan and make it your best, as always! 

Dulu gw punya mimpi pengen bisa ikut exchange ke luar negeri..
Dulu gw punya mimpi pengen jadi praktisi PR terkenal perusahaan besar..
Tapi.. realita mengajarkan dan memberitahukan bahwa the objective is not as shallow as that.. Objectivenya bukan sekolah di luar negerinya, objektifnya bukan jadi PRnya.. Objectivenya adalah untuk membuktikan bahwa we can be anything and nothing's impossible.. Walaupun titik akhirnya bukan seperti yang kita rencanakan but always make it our best! That's my dream..

I thought I wanna be PR of a great company, what I know right now I wanna be PR of myself who can speak and stand out for my self my own brand. I wanna be a lecturer because I'd love to share with my students but what I realize I'd love to share with anyone.. That's why I'm saying my dream is even bigger than ever.. I'm really excited to see what's I'm going to face in the future, what kind of surprise's waiting for me.. Universe has bigger plan that you thought! (will share in more detail in next post)

So Jeffry and Hana, thank you so much for reminding me to keep on dreaming... I am.. I will.. 
Good luck and my best wishes for you both yah! I believe you can be anything you want.. and am looking forward to your inspiring stories and experience di sana :) 

Once again, thank you..
Thank you juga ci cong fan yang sdh menjadi great messenger.. 

Cheers,
Quincy

Jia you!

Soon Q soon..

Heading the finish line..

Huoooo.. time flies super fast, 2016 will come just in days.
Then what happened in 2015?
What to be grateful?
and what to be regretful?

Life is life..
Time runs, people come, people go..
Be sad today, be happy the next day..

What to highlight in 2015?
1. I went to Bangkok for SG-E reunion. It was super fun, for sure. Meeting SSEAYP friends, reminiscing the memories, amazing experience.
2. MP gave me another opportunity to visit some cities in Indonesia.
3. My best friend Nadia got married! I helped her to organize her big day, such an honour.
4. In November, finally I resigned from MP and decided to move to FH. Let's call it dream-call. New place, new environment, new culture, new expectation, new challenge, new Me :)
5. Yup, I visited Belitung with Cink. Also had a chance to see the real place of Laskar Pelangi.

Life is like a wheel, up and down, but at least you are moving.

Once I learned how to handle problem. Be confident of my self. Be proud of where I came from even more how far I've been through. It is priceless!

2016 might be full of surprise and I am ready!
In 2016, I will:
1. be more positive.
2. be more confident.
3. have more self-control.
4. read more books or anything.
5. travel and see the world.
6. save more.
7. prepare my grad school in the US.
8. be HAPPY, indeed :)
9. make more friends.
10. learn more from everyone.

Thank you 2015!
Let's make a better 2016



Best wishes,
Quinnie

Shining in my own way..

Hey.. Back to me again!
With another stories and feelings..
Well,, sebenernya classic dan klise sih.. It's about confidence..

Full of surprises

well..
Surprise.. It's good and bad at the same time..
Sometimes you feel excited, sometime you feel cheated..


Surprise,
when your office mate who actually attracted you suddenly broke up with his fiancee after 8 years of relationship

Surprise,
when you figured out he's going to spend his weekend with a girl for a coffee shop hoping

Surprise,
when he came to you while you were alone

hahhaa..
expectation burnt me down
Stop expecting!

But how can?

There is a good quote that I really admire
"Life has a funny way of working out when you start to believe that it never will"

Be patient Q,
He has created the best happily ever after for you
Be patient Q,
Be it
Patient..
