Why becoming a Minister? part 1


Let's see and think why one should be a minister.

A minister is/does have...
a. Full of administrative job
b. Paramount responsibilities
c. Complicated bureaucracy
d. Not having full authority of anything than his department
e. Bad salary. He/she will have salary much lesser than any of the state-owned company (BUMN); and please don't try to compare it with the private company
f. More political party driven


So, why should one really eager to become a minister. Sound to me like a very bad day job. Some ministries got caught by Indonesian Corruption Watch, makes it even worst...

Very simple life...

Having a simple life is a good feeling that I experience now. However in the same time, I need to develop the business from the existing point to more profitable and sustainable one in order to put 'Tabratas' mark on this company.

Hopefully good...

Was from Erbil - Dubai -Abu Dhabi, then to Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur-Penang and back to Jakarta (for 24 hrs stay only); day after tomorrow will go to Bandung and back to Jakarta; on Sunday to Dubai-Birmingham and Coventry for 3 courses...

Let's do this!

(almost) ready with new setup of life


Last hitch is my last visit to Iraq; now I am ready to face new set of things in life. Prior to it, I have to finish several unfinished stuff.

Bismillah!

Packing... packing...





Packing is always my specialty. From one place to another, one location to another, one job to another.

2nd of April


I set the data of 2nd of April... to resign from my current employer

Life changing week...





This whole week is really a life changing week for me, that I finally decide to move on from the stage I have been in the past 4 years to the one of my greatest challenge of all. I wouldn't dare to dream like this 13 yrs ago when I started my footprint in oilfield business, and today here I am, up for the next challenge.



It's mostly a challenge to unite the happiness, spirituality, relationship, family, health, and career into one and make the best out of it.

Travelling...


Tomorrow will go to Erbil (transit via Dubai), and on 1st of April will go to Istanbul to have short break with my wife. On 6th or 7th, I will go to UK for electives course until 14th, then back to Erbil (she will travel back to Indo to help out with her brother's engagement party).


The house

... and the chase for the house (almost) comes down to an end. I hope we can finalize it soon enough. Bismillah...





It's a ProviTime


I have always been intrigued to have my own business that I will only deal with in my spare time (vacation time, etc). So these couple of months, something really expedites it.



Hopefully, my ProviDream can come true.
