My Childhood Dream

It's so odd that I need to spend more than 5 minutes to write the first paragraph of this post. I don't know what to write, ironically, I don't know what to tell. I have a lot of stories to share but I don't have any idea how to pour it out here. Is it what they called writer's block?
Wait...

Ok. 

I'm going to tell you about the company I work for and I'll label it as an experience. When I was 10 years old I always wondering how is it to be a worker in a multi national company, having foreigner bosses, talking alien language to your coworkers, and handling various kind of problems. This curiousity began to appear since I've watched many hollywood films and so and so, yeah I know I'm such a dreamer at that time (Uhm.. Until now I guess). I was wondering how is it to be a worker who works in a high modern building as well. When I was a child my parents often drives me around Jakarta and I saw many high modern office buildings and I secretly pray that someday I could be one of those people who works inside those.

Long story short, I got a chance to had an internship in one of the fancy building located in district office in South Jakarta. I was so happy not only I could embody my dream to work in a fancy building; but also I had a chance to work in one of a fancy television station (hahaha), though I just did an internship but I got so many knowledges from my seniors. It was one of my amazing experience and such an honour for me to have a chance to work with them.

Years later, in an ordinary sunny day I got a phone call from this company I work for now. A women from the other side of the phone told me to come to do an interview. I've never expected before that I could have a chance to do an interview with this company, so I'm starting to study the night before the interview is held. Another long story short, I interviewed by the CEO of the company, the atmosphere was so tense I could barely breathe hahaha. The CEO is a Japanese man, maybe around 48 years old. He's very friendly but it doesn't make my nervous getting less though hahaha. Shortly, the company hired me (Thank God) and now - 2 years later, I'm still working in this company.

Sometimes I do speak alien language, in this case, I speak Japanese. 75% staffs of this company can speak Japanese. And it's a mandatory for me to speak English since my CEO can't speak Bahasa fluently yet. It's my boss who teach me Japanese regularly once a week, it's always on Friday by the way (he's one of Japanese men who works here). He's very excited to teach me hahaha, he even gave me 3 manual books of how to learn Japanese; Katakana; Hiragana; and Kanji. I can't complain because I do have many advantage here, and the main thing is I can learn Japanese for free and got a native Japanese tutor. Hahahaha.

You can say that my childhood dreams came true. I was living my dream when I want to work in a fancy building, and I'm about living my dream that I work in an multi national company, talking alien things and stuffs, having a job that I wanted - handling various kinds of problems - from internal to external problems - you know, being surrounded by a lot of work and getting busy is very sexy.

I feel blessed. I am totally blessed. And I am very grateful for it.
So, which childhood dreams that already came true for you? 😊
