Syukur Alhamdullilah

Sometimes the littlest thing in life can make you feel so grateful beyond words.

Earlier today, i had a presentation to my boss on my business analysis and market analysis.

To be honest my Market Analysis was a wreck. I came up with  sekeleton draft on my powerpoint slides but i didn't have enough time to finish it.  During the weekend, i was busy working on my business analysis because it's more challenging as you need to come up with all sorts of analysis in order for it to be meaningful.

Basically, giving insights based on financial datas are not easy and yes i did struggle with it. I spent like almost a week to complete the first draft and it's not even finished. So F that.

So yeah, work starts today and we were supposed to have the presentation at 9.30am onwards and i can only tawakal to Allah. I prayed that my 70% progress on business analysis and 20% progress on market analysis would be good  enough for me to avoid from  getting scolded by my boss. Lolz.

As the time for our presentation approaches, suddenly my immediate supervisor informed us that the presentation has been postponed to 4.30pm. HURRAH!  So yeah, we managed to buy more time to finish our tasks. One of my supervisor called me in to check on my progress and i'm glad that he did so because he gave me a damn good solution on how to finish my Market Analysis in such a short span of time. Syukur to that as well.

blah blah blah and bammm it's almost 4.30pm and my colleague presented his portion first. To be honest things were looking pretty intense during his presentation and i was really scared because it was my turn next and i was not prepared. What do i say? What if my analysis is stupid? Ahhh FTS.

Right before my presentation, my boss was teasing me because she could tell that i was bloody nervous. Lol. At 6.30pm, it was my turn to present. Basically, my colleague did not receive very good feedback from the bosses and my boss also made a remark that the comment that i'm going to receive later is going to be  the same  as my colleague who presented before me. Bare in mind that i have not presented my portion yet.

I smiled politely and as i was opening my slides , it had like 15 slides for my business analysis and my boss said "That's a lot". I smiled again and i start presenting my part with 45% confidence. Two minutes later, my boss did a quick comment by saying that "you must have rehearsed your line before this presentation" (to be honest, i didn't because of time constraint)  So yeah blah blah blah and slowly my confidence starts to build up as my second immediate supervisor commented the word "interesting" a few times as i presented my case. You know it's a good thing when your boss says "interesting" to your presentation slides.  So yeah again, alhamdullilah to that as well.

Blah blah blah and my presentation ended. My boss gave her final remark with the line  "GOOD JOB ELSA" and to add the cherry on top of all this, My other colleague asked me "so how many times have u rehearsed before this?" I replied with "none" and then he asked again "don't lie, how many times have u rehearsed before this?" And i responded with "honestly,i didnt".

Incase you're wondering why am i so proud of this mini achievement is because i am the youngest among my colleagues and in terms of our position,i am the only junior executive in my department (while the others are senior executive level  and above). Therefore, to receive this recognition although it's small, it means alot to me. It shows that i am learning and i do take note of whatever my seniors have taught me. Again, alhamdullilah.

Allah is the best.


Also, my next mission is to be a senior executive in my department this year,  In sha allah. That is the dream.

Thanks allah for everything.  Forever Syukur alhamdullilah! #littleachievement #stillablessing #strivetobebetter #mustfocusongettingaboyfriendaswell #Lol
