Mamah & Pensiun

Mamah baru pensiun di November 2021 kemarin. Jadi waktu saya untuk mengamati Mamah tuh makin panjang.

Satu kebiasaan Mamah yang baru saya sadari adalah Mamah suka main bubble wrap bekas belanjaan online. Selama ini saya pikir cuma Aca yang suka, ternyata oh ternyata.

Saya juga baru tahu bahwa kalau pensiunan itu gak langsung terima tunjangannya sampai 4 bulan pasca pensiun. Untungnya kan kalau Mamah memang pandai nyimpan uang ya, jadi gak ada masalah walau punya anak yang gak pandai nyimpan uang ini.

Mamah juga banyak alokasi waktu buat ikut pengajian. Pengajian Kamis malam, Jumat siang, atau di tempat dulu dia belajar agama sebelum jadi PNS. She really lives her dream I guess, I am so envy.
Belakangan saya juga suka usahain waktu buat pergi pas weekend bareng Mamah. Entah buat sekadar makan atau massage di Healing Touch Nakamura. Pemicunya kayaknya saya tuh belum lama baru baca kutipan yang terus nyangkut di kepala:“The problem is you think you have time.”

Ini Mamah dan saya di salah satu outlet Raja Se’i punyanya Rizky Billar itu loh hahaha.

Bali & Sunset

God is giving me blessing in disguise through the pandemic. Currently I am in Bali which may be impossible if it is not pandemic time. What am I doing? Working; doing vacation over the weekend; enjoying sunset mostly every day; washing my clothes on daily basis (say no to laundry hahaha); etc. I was also staying at Bali last year for several days. What I missed from Bali was the sunset moments. This year I will stay for a month to enjoy them as much as I can. And this is me walking on the beach for the sunset.

Talking About ERP and Career

On my first 5 years working career, I could only focus on giving solution once customer would like to implement Oracle (both E-Business Suite and Fusion Cloud). I felt like I had narrow horizon such I was too product-centric. That was why I took the leap to move to start up as analyst and product manager.

I was half-wrong in judgement. It's true that there are so many things to think about other than focusing on finishing the project as smooth as possible, as fast as possible. Moreover, I got much insights for whole business processes in a company, especially product development. Yet I actually can utilize my fundamental thinking as ERP consultant on my job on the start ups.

Combining the experiences here and there, I can understand why some company prefer to have low to medium features system since they may have strong or many people on their development team--or simply budget restriction. In contrast, I can also understand why some company prefer to have medium to high features system since they may have small technology team and optimize the advanced features embedded. 

This is also making me realized how I took for granted the standard features Oracle EBS/Fusion Cloud to customer, since develop your own system is another headache in terms of timeline, security, validation, or skill. And actually this is one of the reason I decide to go back to ERP career although I am being a presales consultant now instead of a functional consultant.
