Jadi ceritanya tadi malam saya dapat email dari salah seorang teman baik di kantor lama. Jihong namanya, Chinese yang bermigrasi ke Canada dan sekarang bekerja disana. Bertukar kabar dan saya jadi ingat, bahwa saya belum menulis sesuatu tentang kelulusan yang ketiga ini.

Time flies, saya yang dulunya ogah bekerja jadi kuli minyak ternyata tahun ini akan merayakan ulang tahun ke 11. Bekerja di 3 perusahaan, 3 kota, 3 kali lulus dan berpisah dengan teman – teman. 1 tahun, 2.5 tahun dan 7 tahun. Susah senang pahit manis ada semua disana.

1st graduation, ngga banyak drama. Saya pindah dari Jakarta ke Balikpapan, dari posisi pegawai kontrak ke pegawai permanen. Manager saya yang dulu baik sekali, sampai – sampai dibuatkan pesta perpisahan, padahal saya baru 10 bulan kerja. Tidak banyak yang saya ingat selama 10 bulan di Jakarta, memang pada dasarnya saya ga suka kerja di Jakarta kali ya, setiap weekend kerjaannya pulang ke Bandung terus. Kost – kostan saya yang dulu dekat sekali dengan kantor, 5 menit jalan kaki, sewanya 350 rb per bulan. Kamar mungil dengan kamar mandi di dalam. 

2nd graduation, agak – agak sedih. Kehidupan di Balikpapan itu sebenarnya menyenangkan lho. Asal masih lajang, punya banyak teman asik dan jangan kelamaan haha. Saya suka sekali pekerjaan di sana, pertama kali naik offshore rig ya di sini, ngerasain naik chopper, ngerasain dimarahin istri orang tengah malam (gara – gara ngangkat telpon, dikira siapa kali ya, ada cewek di rig malam – malam, kocak). Kegiatan ekskul banyak sekali, mulai lari 2x seminggu, kelas tenis, bikin klub pecinta alam, klub angklung, lengkap dah. 2 kali tinggal di kost sampai kemudian pindah ke rumah sendiri lalu numpang di rumah orang. Saat graduation dulu ada 3 orang yang bersamaan resign, satu team pula. Akhirnya kami pesta makan kepiting untuk perpisahan tiga orang, yang diundang banyak sekali ! Restoran Kepiting Kenari di book satu malam penuh, hasilnya bangkrut haha. Teman di Balikpapan benar – benar keluarga di perantauan. Rekor terbanyak kue ulang tahun yang saya dapat ya di Balikpapan ini, tahun 2006. Dapat kue ulang tahun 4 buah, mulai jam 6 pagi sampai jam 11 malam 😀

3rd graduation, sedih dan senang. 7 years in Jakarta (kurang 2 bulan deng). Pekerjaan asik, yah ada minusnya, tahu sama tahu aja ya haha. Dan tetap, kotanya ga suka banget. Sampai sekarang entah kenapa saya ga bisa suka Jakarta. Graduation kemarin pun rasanya ngga proper. Sampai saat saat terakhir masih sangat sibuk, hari terakhir kerjapun diundur – undur terus. Jam 4 sore hari terakhir baru bisa keliling, itupun ga semua ketemu. Jam 6.30 baru sempat duduk tenang, kirim email ke teman – teman, dan selesai. Hari terakhir saya disana. Tetep merasa ngga proper, dan tanpa jeda langsung bekerja di sini, langsung monitoring logging tidur 2 hari di kantor haha, nikmat memang.

My farewell note, pendek, ngga bakat nulis panjang untuk hal beginian. Dan saya ga suka banget nulis email generic yang dikirim bcc. Akhirnya satu persatu ditulis, dengan personal sentences di paragraph awal, lama  nulisnya sampai – sampai bos besar kelewat ga kekirim haha. Baru nyadar 3 bulan kemudian.

So, I am leaving ** and tomorrow will be my last day in the Jakarta office.My family is moving to Kuala Lumpur, entering the new adventure in our life :). I don’t really want to say good bye, as our path might cross again in one form or another. Please accept my apology for every wrong doing that I may have done and thank you for all of your support, friendship and encouragement you have extended to me during my time with **.  I’ll cherished the memories we shared together. Keep in touch and if you chance to visit Kuala Lumpur, please contact me and let’s have a Malaysian culinary experience with me 🙂 All the best for you and family.

Alhamdulillah banyak yang merespon, walaupun bos fav saya yang sekarang ada di Houston sana ga balas huhu, dan sampai sekarang saya ga punya keberanian menegur beliau di FB. Dibuang sayang, saya posting disini, sekaligus mengingat betapa berartinya mereka di kehidupan 7 tahun saya bersama kumpeni ini 😀

May,I too, am very sorry to see you go, and wish you and your family the very best for your move to KL. I enjoyed getting to know you through the petrophysics ADP, and as a highly valued member of the ** petrophysics community you will be much missed. Do let us know how things go for you and your family on your new adventure in Malaysia. Best wishes. 

May,I’m very sorry to see you go but fully understand the reasons. Hope you keep the petrophysics going and are moving to another role in KL.  It would be a shame to not use your talent. It is a small world and our paths may cross again. Best wishes for the future. 

May,I just wanted to say it has been a real pleasure working with you for the past few years.  I am sure you will do well at whatever you try.  Keep technically ‘honest’ and you cannot go far wrong. I promise to send a photo of me in the nice batik shirt from the UK – but I will wait for snow on the ground!

May,
Pagi2 sudah bikin kaget saya dan Maya. Sebenarnya sangat disayangkan May keluar dari **. Btw, mudah2an ditempat yang baru bisa kerasan dan selalu bisa berkumpul dan dekat dengan keluarga.
Nanti harus cari teman lagi yang bisa initiate buat acara camping niy; saya sudah beli camping gearnya sangat lengkap lho, apalagi tendanya ada beberapa dgn different size…hehehe. Kalau next company May masih diseputar Jakarta, nanti kita bisa stay in touch buat camping planning. Kami juga belum tahu apakah akan menetap di Bandung atau Jakarta kalau nanti pulang.
Salam buat keluarga juga…

Hi May!
Selamat malam. I am very sorry to hear that you will be leaving **. I really enjoyed working with you.  I hope this change brings many happy and fun times. I will definitely contact you if I am ever in KL. What will you be doing there?

Mbak May,
Selamat berpetualan di negeri jiran. Titip salam kalau ketemu Ipin-Upin. Hehehe.

May,
I wish you and your family all the best
