Hi, I'm Mgs. Tabrani. This is the first in a series of monthly notes documenting my journey through 2026. For the one who finds this note, welcome aboard. Congratulations, you do matter in my life. You are the person who I want to share my journey with and I am comfortable to tell the story to you.

Not much I can tell this month. To start this update, I will just go through how my goals are going. I've written my goals here.

Let's get into career goals. I have 2 goals. The first one is Promotion to L2 in 2025 end-year cycle. Aku dak tau sih ini announcementnyo bakal kapan. Tapi biasonyo around March or April. So, let's see. Aku sudah having one-on-one discussion with my manager. He said good feedbacks as well as improvement that I need to do. Dio kasih good sign bahwa dio bakal nominate aku buat naik sih. Literally dio mention dio akan nominate aku buat cycle ini. Semoga goal ini biso tercapai nanti yo. Aamiin. Ini beberapo feedbacks yang manager aku sampaike.

  • Good contributor mid-high complexity
  • Discussion with other Stakeholders like QA and PM
  • Cover most of expectation of L1 and some of L2
  • Overall system on CMT ok
  • Have good knowledge of Vouchers side as well
  • Good debugging skills and problem isolations
  • FE expertise
    Improvement Areas:
  • Activeness in answering things on CMT / campaign setup related
  • Proposing solutions / give constructive feedback often -- Scope: assigned related task

Selain itu, career goal kedua aku adalah Getting at least 3 abroad job interviews. Aku sudah apply ke beberapo company abroad, ini listnyo. Tapi, sayangnyo dari sekian banyak yang aku apply bulan ini, cuma sikok yang tembus HR interview, dan setelah itupun gagal, yaitu di company Singapore, Airwallex. Caknyo aku harus evaluate lagi CV aku dan cubo bagusi porto. Semoga nextnyo biso dapet calling interview lebih banyak dan biso beneran working abroad di country dan company yang technyo bagus. Jadi, untuk career goals ini belum ado yang tercapai, but I am making a good progress.

Selanjutnyo, spiritual and relationship goals. Kenapo aku combine spiritual dan relationship jadi satu, kareno aku meraso buat punyo relationship yang baik perlu spiritual yang baik jugo. Aku jugo raso menjalani relationship ke jenjang selanjutnyo termasuk bagian dari spiritual. Di sini, aku punyo beberapo goals. Yang pertamo Reading book related to marriage. Aku pengen cubo start belajar, biar nanti waktunyo, aku setidaknyo punyo bekal dasar buat menjalaninyo. Pilihan aku jatuh ke The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman. Aku belum baco buku ini secara menyeluruh, tapi aku baru liat-liat sekilas reviewnyo dan intro dari penulisnyo. Caknyo buku ini bagus dan berdasarkan riset serta pengalaman yang dilakukan penulis. So, this book can be the start. Goal selanjutnyo, yaitu Collecting 2300 shares of BSSR (Baramulti) stock. Aku sekarang sudah collect 5000 share BSSR. Sebelumnyo aku punyo 15000 share, tapi aku jual sebagian kareno kemarin ado saham yang lagi bullish. Dan good thing dari investing di BSSR ini, dapet dividend, lumayanlah dividendnyo. Goal selanjutnyo yaitu Collecting 19 grams of Gold. Alhamdulillah, sekarang aku sudah punyo sekitar 5 grams di pegadaian, lagi cubo cari timing buat nambah, kareno sekarang gold lagi turun, lagi cubo2 liat sikon global dulu ini. Why BSSR and Gold btw? This is related to someone that I love. I can't tell this right now. Next, ado goal Khatam Al-Qur'an at least 2 times outside Ramadan. Ini lumayan sih progressnyo. Caknyo ini biar urusan aku samo yang di atas, tapi Alhamdulillah this is on track. Terus ado Conducting Syawal Shaum, Conducting Arafah Shaum, dan Conducting Tasu'ah/Asyura Shaum. Ini belum waktunyo sih, tapi semoga pas waktunyo idak terlewatkan dan biso terlaksana. Aamiin.

Selanjutnyo, ado personal finance goals. Entah, caknyo bulan ini lumayan rungkad :(. Aku biasonyo ngetrack monthly investment aku di sini. Goal yang pertamo, yaitu Getting 250 mio IDR of total investment balance. Terakhir tercatat buat last month sih sekitar 179 mio. Jadi, almost there sih sebenernyo. Semoga biso tercapai lah, mid-year bisolah kali ye. Aamiin ya Allah. Goal selanjutnyo Getting 50 mio IDR of trading balance in Stockbit. Yang tercatat last month sih 22 mio, tapi akhir-akhir ini lumayan floating lossnyo, gara-gara IHSG anjlok kemarin. Semoga biso rebound lagi dan insyaAllah by end of this year goal aku yang ini biso tercapai jugo. Aamiin. Goal selanjunyo jugo berkaitan saham stockbit, yaitu Getting 10 mio IDR of realized gain in Stockbit. Current realized gain sih sekitar 2,4 mio, tapi sekarang lagi floating loss. Let's see lah, ini achievable cepet sih sebenernyo, asal masuk dan keluar di saat yang tepat. Semoga personal finance goals aku biso tercapai semua. Aamiin.

Then, self-development goals. Harusnyo ini biso banyak sih. Tapi sekarang aku masih kepikiran 2 goals. Yang pertamo Reading at least 1 tech book. Jujur ini belum mulai samsek. Tapi kandidatnyo Pragmatic Programmer by Andy Hunt. Looks like a good book. Next goal, yaitu Creating at least 4 blogs. Ini belum samo sekali tegerak sih. Tapi aku sudah punyo beberapo ide. Aku pengennyo bikin produk dulu, kemudian story or how to aku bikin itu pengen aku jadike blog. Salah satu reason aku nulis journey update ini jugo biar aku terbiaso nulis sih. So these 2 are still far. Semoga biso aku sentuh ini 2 goals.

Kemudian, aku jugo punyo social and hobby goals. Ini ado Completing 4 story mode games. Aku hard-core gamer bola sih, jadi aku lumayan susah buat stop main game selain bola. Aku pengen start story mode game ini dari Ghost of Tsushima. Game ini cerito tentang jaman kaisar Mongol. Battlenyo lumayan seru, dan katonyo storynyo bagus. Grafiknyo jugo keren pas aku maeni. Aku sudah mulai main ini sih, tapi baru sampe chapter intronyo bae. Soalnyo aku masih keseruan maen game bola :). Selanjutnyo, ado goal Reaching out to 12 old friends. Ini goalnyo agak aneh sih sebenernyo. Aku dak biso define goal yang cukup reasonable buat ini. Tapi so far, aku jugo mulai coba buat sekedar reply story kawan sih, at least doing conversation and knowing how they're doing now. Perlu revisit goal ini sih agek. Terus ado goal Doing sports at least 24 times. Aku biasonyo galak lari or main badminton di GBK. So far caknyo baru olahraga sekali di tahun ini, kareno sering nian hujan. So this is still on-track as well, but need improvement in the quantity.

That's wrapping up how my goals are doing. Belum ado yang achive sih, tapi so far I am satisfied with the progress. Walaupun ado beberapo goals yang harus aku revisit. Hopefully biso konsisten dan tercapai tahun ini dan biso growing bigger goals buat tahun-tahun selanjutnyo.

Also, let me introduce Putri Monika Pratami, someone that I love, which I mention previously. She is my home and life. I hope she does feel the same. At this moment, we haven't get married yet, even we are now getting aparted. We are currently growing ourselves individually. I let her to explore her own journey while I explore mine. I have to fix myself first before fixing ours. I believe that happy relationships are built on happy individuals.

Aku tau kau sekarang lagi di sini (Indo). Tapi, aku paham kok kau mungkin belum biso ketemu samo aku. I understand. Take your time. Enjoy your holiday with your family and your friends.
