Destiny

Destiny is not meant for us to sit and wait for things to happen to us without our control to change it. Destiny is the way we accept things after it happened; either we choose to give up or to improve/worsen it, completely depend on us.

I always believe all of people in the world are destined to be better than their previous generation, hence my father always told me... All my kids have to be better than me...

I always believe that I am destined for something greater and better for me, for my family, for people that surrounds me.. Don't know what that is; but i just know.. I can feel it 

Another milestone in life

Another change in life.. As we always know, what constant in life is a change. About 18 months ago, I took the position to move out of Iraq to start my life; to be in Jakarta is a quite challenging things, since it changed me culturally and socially. I was pretty much solitaire and liked it that way, but then I had to mingle with many people frequently, etc. Then the oil price drops brought everyone into the "brace for impact" situation where me, as a leader, has to take necessary step.

Yesterday, is my last day to work in Cougar Drilling Solutions, where I learned many different things compared to my assignment in either Schlumberger or Weatherford. Learned and practice more hands on things in the sense of business decision, etc. Many aspect of management is shown to me, that I would think is somehow breath taking but rewarding.

While preparing my presentation for my 1st session in France next month, I am ready for my next big assignment.

Like I am gonna lose you

All of the sudden, i need this song...

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows we were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow

So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

[John Legend:]
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I'll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets

Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow

[Both:]
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

Hey
Whoa

I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

Kepada Para Istri...

Renungan:Aku milik suamiku dan suamiku milik ibunya

Ditujukan buat para menantu.... tetapi lebih ditujukan buat para ibu/istri....

Seburuk apapun mertua.. aku selalu ingat bahwa..

Dia.. adalah wanita yg mngandung suamiku dalam kepayahan selama 9bln..

Dia.. adalah wanita yg air susunya menjadi makanan pertama bagi suamiku..

Dia.. ialah wanita yg mendidik dan membesarkan suamiku, yg mngajarkan kepada suamiku akhlaq sehingga aku nyaman di sisi suamiku.

Aku.. ga pernah keluar uang sepeserpun untuk nyekolahin suamiku.. hingga ia dapat ijazah, yg sekarang ijazah itu ia gunakan utk mencari nafkah.. untuk menafkahi aku!!

Aku.. ga sedikitpun mendidik suamiku hingga kini ia jadi pria yg penuh tanggungjawab.. dan aku merasakan bahagia menjadi istrinya.

Setelah pengorbanannya yg bertubi tubi.. anak laki lakinya menikah denganku.. dia bagi kasih sayang anaknya denganku..

Cemburu?? Pasti dia cemburu.. aku wanita asing, yg kini selalu disayang2 oleh anak laki lakinya..

Harta anak laki lakinya tercurah untuk kunikmati.. padahal ia yg melahirkan.. membesarkan dan mendidik..

Aku memahami cemburu itu.. walau aku pun merasakan cemburu ketika suamiku lebih memihak mertuaku..

Aku bukan malaikat yg ga pernah jengkel dgn mertuaku.. dan mertuaku pun bukan malaikat yg selalu kubela.

Adakalanya aku marah.. cemburu dan sakit hati..

Namun aku ingat semua jasanya pada suamiku.. jasa yg sampai akhir hayatpun aku ngga akan mampu membayarnya..

Pada ujung tangisku.. terngiang nasehat ibundaku tercinta..

"Nak, dukunglah suamimu utuk berbakti pada ibunya.. jangan suruh ia memilih antara kau dan ibunya.

Karena.. kelak kau akan merasakan bagaimana sakitnya diperlakukan seperti itu oleh anak laki lakimu..

Apa yg kau lakukan pada mertuamu.. akan dilakukan pula oleh menantumu.. segala sesuatu pasti ada timbal baliknya"..

Dan tangisku makin deras..

Oh suamiku.. bahagiakanlah org tuamu semampumu..

Semoga kelak anak2 kita pun membahagiakan kita, sebagai balasan Baktimu pd Orang Tuamu.

For those lazy people who thinks they are invisible
