1718 and its stories

di post sebelum nya gue udah cerita gimana di tahun 2017 gue ketemu dengan sebuah organisasi yang telah mengubah hidup gua... GAK SIH GAK SELEBAY ITU SBNRNYA. but still, AIESEC is a platform that i trust to develop myself. so... here's the story of my first term in AIESEC and how i met amazing people who roles an important part in my life right now.

***

i started my journey in AIESEC with becoming a newie. jadi newie itu kalo di AIESEC tuh ya kayak lu karyawan baru masuk, di probation dulu. kenalan sama AIESEC itu apa. kenalan sama AIESEC se susah itu. banyak banget istilah istilah yang terdengar seperti bahasa alien :) but as time goes by, you'll understand.

next, i applied for quality and development staff and get accepted.

so this would my first team in AIESEC. namanya Cirrus. Cirrus tuh nama nama awan gitu pokoknya arti dari namanya tuh kita baik hati dan ramah soalnya kan dealing with EPs which is harus ramah kan ya HIHI.

being an QnD was indeed very tiring and sometimes can be a pain in the ass. mulai dari di protes EP, dealing sama masalah mereka disini, jadi 'tempat sampah' mereka kalo ada apa apa. belom lagi kadang di protes sama TN padahal ya bukan kerjaan kita, di PHP in sama EP, nunggu arrival pick up di airport lama bgt kalo pesawat  nya delay daannn masih banyak lagi. it wassssss such a journey but im glad that i decided to take QnD as my first role. jadi ngerasain bener bener gimana rasanya jadi front office and how to treat and deal with customer. such a development.

inframe ada nafal, naura, gue, dentang. percaya lah, team ini lah yang bikin gue akhirnya betah melanjutkan AIESEC di term selanjutnya

this would be our last picture as a team together. dengan komposisi tataan tempat yg sama HEHE

dear Cirrus, thanks for being an important part of my AIESEC journey. last term would be totally different if i wasnt in this team. huge thanks for dentang for actually trusting me to be one of  your team member even tho you werent very sure that i will actually perform and how to lead me because i have no previous experience. soalnya kan yak gua newie kaga ada pengalaman  apa apa di AIESEC sblm nya, but you actually did great. thanks  naura for being in QnD as well walaupun kamu anak fkg super sibuk but still mau meluangkan waktunya untuk QnD trs aku seneng kenall sm kamu  :') the only part of the team yang ga abusive ke gua :( thanks for your sugar cube buat aku di handover!!! SENENG BGT NAU BACA NYA BENERAN makasih nau udah mau dealing sm aku for the past 8 months and being the one that can neutralize the team when it gets too out of topic during meetings :'). last one, nafal. gangerti lagi kalo kita ga ada di team ini mungkin skrg kita gapernah ngomong kali ya. thanks for being the one i can always count on, dah itu aja. itu udah mewakili segala nya.

setelah hiruk pikuk di QnD mulai mengurang seiring dengan term nya mau abis. gue dapet role buat jadi OCP global village. kalo gatau OCP itu apa.... intinya kayak jadi 'panitia' gitu lah. but im the one who is leading the team. tp yaaanjir, i was only a staff of QnD back then, dan OC gua yg lain semuanya pro pro. ada fafa yang VP elect Business Development, deia manager Business development, Faishal yang staga jago marketing and also manager marketing, dan satu lagi ketambahan farah, newie yang ternyata super oke finance nya segala kerjaan finance dikasih ke farah pokoknya selesai aja. sayang nya ga ada foto sama mereka huhu :(((( buuutttt this experience was also really gooddd.

soooo this is the picture of Global Village. jadi ini tuh  acara kayak pameran budaya gitu (?) with 13 EPs from 3 projects and 7 countries and also we reached 200++ guests from 130 targeted. spot me!

segitu aja sih cerita gue di 1718, lalu datanglah handover. i'll insert some pictures here and explain about them

so this would be my newie team. kenalan sama mereka pas SYLC (surabaya youth leadership conference) and actually get close. entah gimana bisa deket but im sooo glad i meet these people. btw ini kayak ketemu circle org jakarta semua isinya HAHA. eh no, kurang deia, ada satu org surabaya nyaaa. tp ga ada di foto ini huhu :( why u no ikut handover dei 

kalo kata nafal, ini establish circle. di foto ini kurang faishal. orang orang ini lah yang berhasil menarik hati gue untuk bisa gue bilang one of  those circles that youre really comfortable with and wouldnt regret spending your whole day with them. manusia manusia kelelawar yang selalu siap ke mekdi atau koridor (coworking space gitu) jam berapapun even sampe pagi demi nemenin satu dan yang lainnya nugas (?) semacam moral support ancen 

QND team!!!!! i have already explained about them above. manusia manusia tersayang ku yg buat aku betah di AIESEC dan mau high role. thanks for dealing with me for the past 8 months, peeps!! see you in another time especially naura dan dentang yang sudah endterm hihi. dan nafal.... SEMANGAT JADI VP NYAAA

manusia incoming global volunteer sekampung. ini kaga IGV sekampung bangetsih soalnya ada beberapa yang ga ada. and hey! we got an award!

and last but not least....

the people im very thankful for...

yang entah bisa bertemu dimana but im glad that these people are a part of my journey

first, this one. kata orang dulu gua kayak anak nya dentang dan mba vita.. HAHAHA. gapapa gua terima kok hehe. dimana mana jadi anak gapapa HEHE. so i think it all started when this picture was taken. hari itu gua pertama kali main jauh banget ke barat. demi nyamper 3 manusia ini. yang satu paling kiri itu salah satu EP gua. it was his last day and he was about to take off from Surabaya that night jadi pagi-sore  nya kita jalan jalan dulu. setelah itu kita ke airport dan lanjut terus main sampe malem hihi. telling a lot of stories. kalo kata mba vita "entah gimana the bond between these 3 becomes so strong that we can make fun of each other that easy"

ini foto kita terakhir bertiga di malang. doing a random trips with these people is always a good idea. sumpah ini trip se random itu dan se dadakan itu but we actually had a lot of fun!!

they're the people i can trust on telling anything to. mba vita, thaaaanksss banget for always being a good listener and most importantly the  best advice-giver i couldve ever asked for. her advices are always the best and i couldnt ask for a better one. udah pas banget pokoknya kalo ama ni manusia satu. plis dong sering2 nginep kosan gue. aaannddd dentang thanks for your 24/7 availability yg kl gue chat cerita pasti selalu dengerin dengan sabar walaupun gue bawel banget dan even tho sampe malem or pagi selalu siap sedia denger cerita gue, those long-ass night chats are always the best. 

and the last one would be...

gua gangerti gimana harus ngejelasin mereka satu persatu. nafal, dentang, andra. you know how glad and happy i am to be able to share my life with you. ya walaupun gua se bawel itu dan kalian selalu protes karna gua bawel banget, banyak ngeluh, banyak omong, gajelas dll. but kalian tetep mau dealing with me regardless of how un-deal-able i actually am HEHE. you guys know how important your role in my life, right?

kalo kata nafal ini namanya "core support system". kalo buat gue lebih kee... body guard. HAHAHA GAKDENG BECANDA KAWAN KAWAN. manusia manusia ini lah yang selalu siap sedia apapun masalah gue. ga ada bedanya sih sbnrnya ama yg diatas buuttt these people selalu bikin gue ketawa even gua lagi di weakest point gua. selalu ada aja ide nya sama celotehannya. even tho sometimes i fake it to you guys about my feelings tp at the end gua pasti cerita. maybe not to all, but to one of these people. pokoknya kalo ada apa apa gua tinggal pilih aja mau cerita ke yang mana and  they will always be there to be a shoulder to lean on for me. kalo kata andra sih "gaperlu punya pacar lu re, punya kita 3 aja udah cukup" AND YEEESSSS why do you need a boyfriend when you can have three boy-best-friends at once yang ga akan bikin sakit hati HEHE :))

***

you probably say that being an AIESECer itu kayak 'budak'. engga dibayar, kerja nya volunteer, jobdesc nya banyak & bener bener ngabisin waktu sebanyak itu. buat temen temen deket gue mungkin udah sering bilang gue kalo diajakin kemana mana susah, diajakin main susah, even sekedar makan bareng keluar aja gue se susah itu dan pasti mereka udah tau jawabannya. AIESEC things. 

but trust me, if you want to feel being in an organization where everything you do sangat berpengaruh sama operation satu organisasi, ya disini tempatnya. there are indeed no perfection but in my opinion, this organization is a very good one. i work with people from so many backgrounds in Surabaya. we have a lot of differences indeed but living in diversity is one of the value that we want to achieve. we work in a fun yet professional working environment, with different targets and goals (either it's organization or personal) for each department, functional, and people. 

di AIESEC ini gue banyak banget belajar. trust me when i say that the time i spent doing AIESEC's stuffs is worth the development i got. ive changed a lot from being an unorganized person to a more organized person. being able to balance my time between academic, organization stuffs, friends, and family. time management, priority management, work life balance, dealing with customers, responsibility, setting partnership, relationship building, quick problem solving, and there are sooo much more that i cant mention one by one. 

in AIESEC i learn that giving and taking are both important. i learn that selfish reason is equally important as selfless reason. i believe that selfish reason is the key reason why we do what we do and that's what keeping us work hard to achieve both our personal goal or the organization goal itself.  

***

and i think, being in AIESEC for only 8 months is not enough. so, my journey doesnt stop there. i step up and now become an international relation manager of IGE department, took higher role to have higher responsibility and also more development to come

sooooooo

this would be my current team and i will be working with them for the next 1 year. 

in frame; ada aldhi (kiri bawah), my VP yang yawla bawel nya tp sayang kok dhi hehe kan demi growth yg lebih baik ya kan??? lalu ada dhiaz, diaz, sama iin my new team mateeee. diaz cewek berkurudung paling kiri yang sudah mau lulus (aamiinnn), iin si cewe ditengah yang ngantukan kalo dah meeting menjelang malem HAHAH, dan dhiaz manusia ngeselin yg duduk di bawah gue tapi ni orang jago sales neh takut acu, ayo bikin open yg banyak biar growth nya banyak kita achieve WUHUUUUU

wish us tons of luck untuk membangun IGE yg lebih baik!!
