My Typical December

Lately, I am so burnt out with my works. There are so many reports to make to my boss(aka my dad) coz next year BT Cocoa is going through a major restructuring and transactions. Well I am pretty excited about that, and is really looking forward to it. U know why?? Coz once all the restructuring is over and transactions are successfully negotiated, I am free..(I Hope). I have been thinking of quitting this job for a long time. But I have difficulties in saying that "quit" word to my boss. This thought has been haunting me eversince this early year.
Sometimes I enjoyed what I do but most of the time I am really pressurized. I guess all the senior management in BT Cocoa feels the same too, this is due to the aggressive plans that we all have been trying to hit off eversince last two years. This company is really young, yet you can say we are one of the most aggressive and fast-moving cocoa processor. And what I am proud of is that we have been going through alot of the downs yet we have been recognized and respected by a lot of other players in the industry. Not an easy journey, especially to the senior management in the company. I would really hope that I can say a Big Thank You and Appreciation to those who has been loyal and always believe that we can make it.

I told my manager that I hope before Christmas We all can get all the deals done and spend a good Christmas and New Year...however.... as i have thought so...things like Holidays will never be in my dictionary and the rest of the staffs... we are currently working our ass off...hoping we can go through this year end smoothly.....Those bankers... I hope one of them would just tell me that they hav approved my proposal...

Anyway..what will this christmas going to be? Last year i was with kenji in LA after Thomas' graduation day...it was not too fun coz I was helping kenji with the packing up and kenji on the other hand was feeling down coz he has to leave Arcadia for Indonesia. I was feeling sad too coz I know that he is doing it for career and me...(and this is why i have always got this guilty feeling..till toda!!!) But right now Kenji is doing good..right kenji? And next year he is going to start off by going to China- Bejing for Barry Callebaut Opening and Apple Shanghai and will do some customer visitng. He is worried about his language....but I know he is going to do fine...I am planning to get some winter clothing for him this weekend, but maybe have to delay that for a while coz I am going to be very busy spending time cooking in the kitchen for the 24th Dec party at Jun's and Valen's house....I am planning to cook Macharoni Schoctel (hehehe actually my nanny - Mbak Jum - is going to make it) and will do some finger foods.

Now you guys will know why i really appreciate my friends alot. Coz i don't have enough time for gathering, or even for myself, coz 96% of my time is dedicated to my work.
Walaupun I knew these group of wonderful people for a year, but they have been already part of my life....coz the time we spent together and things we go through together in a year was a lot and intense....Can you imagine within a year how many things can happen in our life??
I am going to miss Santi also, she ha resigned from Nelayan and has decided to pursue for a more exciting job. But Santi and I know that our friendship will not stop there...coz over the past two years our relationship has changed from a colleague to good friends...well actually i treat here like my big sis..coz whenever we met we will be telling each other about our problems...

The other person will be Junie....What more can I say about her...she is like more than just a friend...a sister will be the perfect word. I saw Junie's life transformed from a single young lady, married happily to her sweetheart - Valen, and now she is a mom to Daven.... Somehow, sometimes I feel i connect with her easily too coz i feel she always understand how I feel..maybe it's because what she has went through is almost the same as my life...yah ngk jun?? hehehehe...

The other person will be Diana...my ex colleague....we don't talk too often too, but she is like a cheerleader to the three of us...always giving advice to us coz she knows how life is and what we should be doing...

Anyway.... i am blabbering here coz i am waiting for my turn to be called by the boss for preparation to China's trip
