.a mission.

hi people!

it has been a really long time since i wrote something in here..

so a little catch up:
1. i had been employed for five months as an accounts payable officer for Quay West Suites Melbourne until March 2013.
2. i had passed my IELTS result, good enough to make me eligible to apply my sponsored visa (indirect way to be a permanent residence).
3. i had enrolled in Master of Applied Finance that will commence this end of month.

so i think those are major things that are currently happening or had happened in my life so far.

now move on to this idea that had been coming to my mind in these past couple of days: a mission.

it started when i awarded myself by rewatching "Gie", one of the greatest indonesian film of all time. In that movie, this character of Gie, which was well played by Nicholas Saputra, reminds me the points of being a young and productive person. He once said that we cannot surrender to whatever condition that we are currently in and just blindly believe that it is just fate, that it is supposedly to be like this and there is nothing we can do to change it. It slapped me real hard that it reminds me of how people always have those capabilities to make changes and therefore make things a little bit better.

It then drove me to the second idea. which is how every single person living in this planet has a mission.

Gie in the film is described as someone who desperately desired a change in indonesian government, and with all of his intelligence and skills, he chose to be a journalist. He did all of that just for the sake to resonance the truth and therefore giving hope for better future for the nation (which unfortunately does not always come true).

It inspires me that actually it does not matter what job position you are holding, or how much you make per month. The only thing that matters is that people realize that whatever they are doing is worth doing not only for themselves and their families but also for other people, for the greater good, how it can affect their society, their nation and their world in a good way.

The beauty of this is that it can be done right now. Or at least with the idea of being useful for the others is already in mind, you will know that whatever job you will do in the future, you know what your mission is.

if you think you are good in making films, produce good, inspirational movies
if you think you are good in singing, sing so that people can feel the joy in your voice
if you think you are good in dancing, dance and make people around the world know how great indonesian traditional dances are
bring the best out of you in everything you do.

while i am still looking for my real passion, i want to do well in my master course, graduate with as best result as i could get and use my knowledge and skills to help others.

and for now, i think that is my mission.

God bless me.

GRADUATED!! and yet still unemployed.

HEYLOOOOOOOOOOOOHH PEOPLE! lama banget ya bok. ckckckkckck. kalo ibarat seng nih, udah karatan dari ujung ke ujung kali ini blog. tsk. sooooooooo how's life? my life is GOOD. but i know i have to do something with my life. it won't be enough if what i do is only working part-time job as cashier in a Portuguese restaurant that sells "fire-grilled' chicken called Nando's, enjoying life too-much until i get lazy and have a non-stop working mouth. "bersih-bersihin sisa sisa snack di pinggir bibir* I know i have to do something. But I don't know what. I've tried to make the list of what-to-do today and day by day my self disciplines just fade away. I know I have to pass that DAMNED IELTS TEST so that I can get that freakin permanent residence visa. But then again, my faith in myself shrinks, together with the fact that non of my staying-here-in-melbourne has passed that shitty band score of 8. Oh yes! I graduated from Monash *YEY*... like five months ago *still yey?* and here i am getting fatter, dreamless life and have no idea where to start. I am as clueless as shit. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! COME ON VINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! COME ONNNNN!!!!! WORK IT OUT! HAVE A DREAM! HAVE THE FAITH, COURAGE AND DISCIPLINE TO GET IT! HAVE SOME PASSION! COME ONNNNNN!!!! LIVE YOUR LIFE! STOP THINKING. STOP COMPLAINING. STOP EATING. STOP DOING NOTHING. STOP LIVING LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. MOVE. START. start wherever you want to start because at least, at least.. you know you move and actually do something with your life. SO, JUST MOVE ON! GRADUATION IS OVER! YOUR HARDWORK HAS ACTUALLY PAID OFF! COME ON! DO SOMETHING WITH IT!
