31 December 2012: A Time to Look Back
December 31st, 2012.
Sydney.
On my comfy bed.
Fingers dancing on Mac's keyboard.
Writing a blog post.
Waiting for the date in the calendar to change.
To a new year: 2013.
JANUARY 2012
My first Australia trip. Meeting my soon-to-be husband.
FEBERUARY 2012
Start of the Nielsen DA Young Talent project. More going home late. But becoming closer to one of my colleague who happens to have the (almost) same character in the past! We're so klop together in many things, somehow.
MARCH 2012
Gold Award for participation in the Young Talent project. (Actually I kinda forgot which month this happens) :D.
APRIL 2012
Engaged to my now-husband. Six years my senior. A senior whom I never met in high school or university, padahal we attend the same high school and uni.
MAY 2012
My first naik gaji :D, alhamdulillah. Why oh why does it have to happen when I'm about to resign :(.
JUNE 2012
New (cool) boss who brought me to the right path (translate: ke jalan yang benar), haha. So sad that I have to resign at the end of this month :(.
JULY 2012
Married. Officially off from the market.
AUGUST 2012
Struggling with Partner Migration Visa application to Australia. And finally reunited again with my beloved husband in Sydney. Got a sewing machine for my birthday, which I have never utilize to earn money until now.
SEPTEMBER 2012
The most boring episode of my life: being a housewife and jobless (and activity-less, and social life-less). Finally I have my own kitchen and was starting to learn-and-love cooking and baking.
OCTOBER 2012
Started working at Blogger (a job that I made myself). As an author of a photography blog, a cooking & food blog, and an interesting personal blog. Also as an amateur illustrator and photographer for my blogs. Can't believe I'm really doing something that I never have the time to even start! I guess, I do need a time off to be able to do the things I like. And I finally found a real friend in Sydney!
NOVEMBER 2012
Spending 3 weeks holiday in Jakarta while applying for another visitor visa to Australia. Gosh, I'm starting to get tired of this visa stuff.
DECEMBER 2012
Learning how to deal living with the in-laws. And marriage has never been this wonderful! We're working things out much much better than before :). I love you, husband.
ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT IN 2012:
Got married one year after my graduation. Allah left me amazed with His greatness. He gave me someone that I wanted without me ever specifically having to say it in my du'a. Nggak sia-sia istikharah berkali-kali sampai sempat hampir putus asa karena kebingunganku membaca "tanda". He made it very clear to me. Very very clear. So, then I believe that he was whom God chose for me. Sometimes when things go wrong between us, I know that God is never wrong :).
