New Year -- for real

     Here I am, starting to tell about my new year.

     New year? Yah. New resolutions? No, I have none. Instead, I have a brand new life in this year. Started on the second day of 2017, I live by myself for the first time in a new place. Yap. Not to be cocky, everything happened to me just exactly what I hoped and prayed to Allah. MasyaAllah.. I once simply wished to get a job outside Yogyakarta city (well I hopefully prayed to Bali hehe). Then on the end of December 2016, there was an announcement that I accepted in an IVF (in-vitro fertilization) laboratory in Jakarta. Me, as an andrologist? Never imagined it before. Andrologist, a person to be responsible to analyze sperm and do sperm preparation for insemination, and so on. And you know, almost all the analysis done using microscope. Haha, yes, when I was in college I hated anything related to histology or study using microscope! I laughed myself. For real, you have no idea what plans Allah has to your life.

     I graduated from biology bachelor program. The alumni from this field work at many kind of places, it can be food company, research center, educational institution, pharmaceutical. It varies a lot, because biology is basic field. And I got my job from my lecturer's friend who once worked at the clinic (where I work now). I applied for the job in early September 2016 and I got informed in November. That was a long wait. After that, I had to have interview with the embryologist and the obgyn (for obstetric and gynecology) doctor. I had to go to Jakarta twice for the job selection. I took buses and trains. A lot of effort. And.. I did that.. by myself............................. Sad.

     Then, is everything turned up to happy life? With 'anak kos' life for the first time in my life, I lost my weight 4 kg. My leg often hurts or pegel because I walk to anywhere here on early weeks. My body was adapting I know. Right now, all I can do is being grateful to have this job. People in the clinic is quite nice (not all, of course). I am being the youngest worker here. Funny, about three weeks ago, three people advised me to find job in another clinic. They said the clinic have bad management so 'they thought' I will not develop well there. I truthfully am enjoy working here. As a new worker, I have minim job desc, though I work on Monday to Saturday. I get along with people inside the laboratory. So I have no thought or any real reason to leave this convenient place haha. Except my manager fires me after my probation period (naudzubillah).

    I actually have a lot to tell, but I decide which one to be told. I hope I can share any meaningful thoughts next time :)
