Last Day of Work

Akhirnya, today is my last day of work in RESI, Taipei after 4.5 months internship.  What a feeling… relieved maybe, but also sad… because I was so happy in here.  I have two hour left in the office before I can get out of here, and may never come back again…

Kemaren, orang2 pada dateng ke meja gue, trus foto2, kasih kado… trus gue bilang "mm… besok gue masih dateng loh…" siapa tau mereka pikir gue kemaren terakhir, trus liat hari ini gue dateng, jadi bingung….

Karena hari ini hari terakhir, gue khusus nyalain alarm jam 6 pagi, supaya bisa sampe di kantor jam 8 pagi… ternyata gue jam 8 pagi baru bangun, sampe di kantor jam 10… wow… perfect impression… the last day turned out my worst performance… but anyway, I got a good review… plus, hari ini, presiden direkturnya bilang ke gue, setelah gue lulus sekolah, gue boleh dateng ke company ini untuk kerja lagi… hohoho…. so happy, mungkin gue mau kerja tempat lain, but that is such an honor.  Trus gue hari ini dipanggil ke kantor presiden komisarisnya … untuk pertama kali dan terakhir, gue liat mukanya… selama ini cuman kedengeran nama besarnya….. turned out he is such a humble and nice guy…. we talked and laughed for a couple minute. 

But anyway, this 4.5 month is incredible.  It’s such a great trip and the best decision ever.  I never feel so brave and proud of myself before.  Gue dengan chinese yang bego2, bisa dateng ke sini, kerja, bikin project, bikin laporan, and on top of all… bikin 2 presentasi dalam bahasa chinese sepenuhnya….  ditambah, gue translate 30 lembar contract bahasa chinese ke dalam bahasa inggris…. my god, I can’t believe it myself.  Gue tidak bermaksud sombong, I just feel… in a most humble way, that you don’t know what you can do, until you really do it… so, never limit yourself.  Everyone has this great power… and this power is limitless.  When you say it, you should do it. 

Oh my god, I can go on and on telling the story of taipei, but I figure I’ll do it slowly… today may be the last day of my internship, but a new day ahead (and new year is coming…) From this internship, I know I want to be a civil engineering.   I always know.

Anyway, this blog is dedicated to one person, my best friend in Taipei.  A girl name Elvina whose bravery and passion is not to second anyone else.   I only know her 4 months ago the first time I went to Taipei, but yet we build friendship and bonding which is unique and absolutely amazing.   If you read this, thanks Elvina for everything, I will miss the days we send emails every 5 minutes, miss the day we bake cakes and always fail, miss the day we shop till late night (I think the term "shop till you drop" really applies in here…haha), .. well, simply miss you.   Thank you…

OK, one hour left before going home.  I guess I’m going to mingle with my friends here.  I’m blessed.

    Hi Syl..
    I suppose by the time you read this, you’re already in Jakarta, the city we love forever with its goods and bads. Basically we have many common things, proud being an Indonesian, this ’shop till you drop’ thingy, same way of thinking, maybe because we went to the same girls high scholl… but not this late thing…And one more thing, kue gw jadi kok wkt gw bikin sendiri, jadi mungkin lo jadi faktor kegagalan kue2 gw..hahaha.j/k.
    So girl, I will miss you for sure. Don’t forget to conctact me everytime you stop by in Taipei. I’ll be here till 2008.
