29th of January 2005 - Mumbai, India.
It was the date when i was officially finish as a trainee in ABN AMRO Bank India, my project has done perfectly, the output expected from the Bank was delivered as they expected, and my dream was about coming, that was visit one of the 7 miracles in the world, Taj Mahal!
it’s now exactly 1 year my post indian life, eventhough i close my eyes, India and all the moments are still in my eyes, heart and soul. My life has changed a lot when i came to India, my decision to India wasn’t the bad decision, eventhough many people againts to me to go there because i have another choices to australia or canada at that time. India has brought me to become someone who can more respect the art of living in diversity, the art of managing people, the art of how to play your role in a very dynamic time, i learnt so much about how india growing very fast, and how taught me on how to encounter yourself in many kinds of situation.
