When prayers get granted

07.06 am, 7 degC, at Fourways Apartments Unit 16.

Yesterday I just arrived at Joburg (read: Johannesburg), South Afrcia on a very cold cold mornin'. Brrrrr, freeeezziing...! The rains poured a lil and my south african friends said it only happened 2 days ago. So, it's like welcoming us here ^^. 

Anyway, I shall be grateful for things happened to me and my family, though.

Having overseas assignments is always exciting and somehow the opportunities always come to me, at least for the last 3 years. I did praying for that and I surely grateful.

Leaving my lovely wife and two kidoz for the next 3 months is always tough. But thanks to Internet connection and telecommunication technologies, we can simply make a chat or connection in such an easy way. All I need to do right now is focusing on enjoying working here as well as the sightseeing journey.

Alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly so far. One or two things were not exactly as I expected but it is okay, I can live with that. Met with familiar faces in the office yesterday relieved me. I know I'll be working with them at least for the next 3 months. I have to motivate my self to perform the best of me and give a good impression so that the relationship between staffs in this office with staffs in Jakarta office will always maintained good. At least, keeping the opportunities of overseas assignment always open.

For my love, Mama yang cantik.

Be brave, be strong and be careful. I will be back on December. And we'll be together again.

I know it's tough, but we've been there before and before... and before ^^. The important thing is we successfully overcome it. I love you so much, dear. *hug and *kiss.

For Kakak Namira yang Sholehah,

Don't forget to do sholat fardu yaa. Praying 5 times a day. Enjoy your study as well as playing with your friends. Watching you learn new things everyday is amaze me. Including your fractious behavior hahaha. But that's okay, it's part of your growing curve, though. I love you. *hug and *kiss.

For "Agan" Kenji yang Sholeh.

Don't be naughty to your sister. Keep your mom and sister always happy, okay. I'm looking forward to see what you've learn in your school, playgroup KEPIK. I'll miss our fight ^^ I will see you on December, though. I love you. *hug and *kiss

Miss you all already,
