My Days in Jakarta started as
early as 6.00 am. Maklum la kat Malaysia dah kira lewat sebab it is 1
hour ahead! Since it's early, I can take my time ironing my work
clothes, take a shower and get ready. By 8.00am am, I was already on
level 3 having breakfast together with the others. After 30 minutes
we went down to catch a cab to the office. It was just a 20 minutes
journey through the jalan 'tikus', as the locals call it; if not it
would take us 45 minutes using the normal road!
Our discussion started at 930 am and
usually finished by 6.00 pm. I had difficulty on the 1st day as many
terms that they used were in Bahasa Indonesia instead of in English.
Alhamdulillah, things improved from the 2nd day as I can understand the
discussion much better. It's a challenge doing unfamiliar things,
especially as I had no proper training or background on Islamic Banking.
But I take it as a challenge and it is a good exposure for myself.
After discussion we will catch a taxi
back to the hotel and arrive around 7pm. My stay in Jakarta was full of
after-work activities as my brother and sister-in-law were so nice to
fetch us from the hotel and brought us out for dinner and shopping. I
manage to grab 2 comforters, a few pairs of pyjamas and shoes for
myself. This is what I am actually thankful for as I have an
understanding brother who is willing to accompany the sister so that I
won't feel so sad thinking of Ehsan & Erica back home....
Everyday that I went to work I would
always pray that the work went smoothly and can finish on time so that
when the kids & Mr. Hubby came over the weekend, I could spend it
fully with them. Mama's waiting for you, miss & love you both so
much.
Our team - still discussing @ 6.45 pm
