Mid-Autumn Festival in HK

These several days were very tiring day. My office have their training for all of our employees in Generali Asia, Generali Hong Kong Branch, and Generali Employee Benefit (GEB). We divided all of those employees became 8 training sessions. And for each session is attended by mixed participants for Management Structure until receptionist. Well, quite impressed on how this company really appreciate their employees and give a lot of effort to make their people as their most important asset to be the best one among the others. :)

So far we already finished with 2 sessions and we will have 6 more training sessions for the rest of Generali's employees. It's quite tiring but I really enjoy it and feel exciting about it.. Just feel that I have a lot of spirit to do anything for my departments. I do Love what I'm doing now! :)

And these are the pictures that I took from training room during break lunch. Just realize that sometimes this view able to relaxing my mind during tough day..



Today is national holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival. In this holiday usually Hong Kong people celebrating the Mid-Autumn with gathered with family and having the mooncakes. Usually there are also a lot of Lantern Festival in the night before the National Holiday of Mid-Autumn Festival.


Actually last night I was planning to see the Lantern Festival and The Dragon Fire Dance at Victoria Park with JJ, my flatmate. He usually back to work very late. But until at 9:30 pm, I wasn't saw him back home (usually he back home at 11 pm or 12 pm :D). I was a bit dissapointed because of that. But I realize that JJ might be so busy as usual, so he couldn't make it. Then I went by my self to the Victoria Park and sadly I was late so I couldn't see the Dragon Fire Dance. So full of people, and I was to small to be able to see the dance from behind and there were too many smokes from the dragon fire. So then I was just hanging around over there and following the origami lesson, saw the lantern festival, and some other Chinese Show Dance at other part of Victoria Park.


Well, now I could hear that JJ already woke up. Seems like he got bad flu.. He's working to hard if I can tell u something about him. Well, get more rest and wish u get better soon JJ! :(

Hello dear blog,

Today was very exciting day.. My visa got approved yesterday.. So finally it got approved after waiting for 2 weeks.. I'm really excited about that..

Today I went to the immigration with Daphne to take my visa. Then Daphne assisted my to take ferry to Macau so I can activating my visa when I'm entering HK again. Daphne is really nice and we had a lot of interesting talks.. She's so friendly and I'm happy that she told me that there will Mandarin and Cantonese course that gonna be run by aiesec members.. That's really good news for me because in the next 2 or 3 months I planned to take those course in HK.


Well, not much that I can tell u about Macau.. I just entered Macau then directly going back to HK soon after arrived in Macau. And when I entered HK again, I got my visa activated! This is something that really make me so happy today.


After that I went to my office directly and had 3 hours first working day.. hehe.. I met Hetta (my Manager), Judith (my supervisor), Massimo from the head office in Italy, Melody (aiesec intern from Taiwan), Tomaso, Sabrina, and also some trainers from Italy..

My Eid Mubarak Celebration in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is raining every day.. So every time I went out somewhere I always got wet no matter how hard I protecting my self with my umbrella.. hehe..

Yesterday I was attending the celebration of Eid Mubarak (Moslem New Year) in Causeway Bay district. This party was held by organization named Sekar Bumi. The member of this organization are the Indonesian House Maid in Hong Kong and I found that they are so talented and amazing. The activities of this organization included dance (modern and traditional dance) and journalism. For dance activities they had won a lot of championship in Hong Kong. And for journalism sector they already have their regular magazine. And a lot of them already launched their own book and became a good motivator in Indonesia. They inspire me a lot.. From them I can see that status (of house maid) never be their obstacle on reaching their dreams.. From them I understand that everybody is someone.. Everybody already have their own talent and it's depend on how we can motivate our self to reach our own achievement. And from them I learn that status never be an obstacle to make a good friend.. :)


The eid mubarak celebration was nice.. After 2 weeks missing Indonesian foods, I can tasted Nasi Kuning, Ayam Kecap, Es Dawet, Nastar and all about Indonesia was there.. I feel home that time.. It was one of my happiness that I can celebrate the Eid Mubarak in Indonesian way.. SO really thanks to Mbak-mbak di sini.. :)

After 13 days in Hong Kong

Hello dear blog,

It's been a very long time I'm not blogging again..

Well, life is always goes on and I never expected before that now I'm in Hong Kong. Just like a big sweet surprise for my life. Everything was running so fast and it feels like a dream that I can be here in Hong Kong and having my dream job as Learning and Development Staff in Generali Asia.

Today is my 13th day in HK.. Sometimes I feel very sad because I should wait too long for my visa getting approve by the HK Immigration. Even now I still haven't sure yet when I will get my visa. The law in HK quite strict, so if I haven't get my visa it means I can't go work to my office.. I really sad that I spent my 13 days in HK just with hanging around with nothing special to do.. In the beginning I was convincing my self that everything gonna be okay, but today I feel a bit stressful because of this.. I need to go to work to make my brain keep working.. :D

And today is also the eid mubarak celebration, the new year of moslem people.. If I knew that everything going to be like this, I would like to spend more time with my family and celebrate this special moment together with all people that I love in Indonesia.. I also really sad that for the whole day I couldn't reach my family by phone just to say happy eid mubarak to them.. I really wanna cry and screaming because of that.. *lebay to the max* hehe.. :D

I think today I became much more sensitive than usual..Feel really sad and wanna cry the whole day..

Then suddenly, I remember my new friend, Kevin from Canada, and I called him whether he has time to listen to me.. Fortunately he still in HK and wanna give sometimes to meet up. He is old enough to be my friend so actually I should call him with "uncle".. hehe.. Kevin took me to Tsim Sha Tsui then we went for dinner and after that went to the ferry star.. the place is quite nice and I feel not lonely and sad anymore because of him.. We had a lot of discussion about my today's feeling, Hong Kong, Indonesian house maid, etc.. well, at least I can see new places of Hong Kong and feel better because of having a very good friend like Kevin.. :)






































Hmmm.. I wish everything gonna be alrite.. I really worried with my visa.. it takes longer more than I expected before..

Well, let's always hope the best and positive thinking.. and keep fighting!!
