After yesterday’s incident, after I was bathed by Mr. Ujang,

 

he asked me to stay at his house for the night together with the travel driver.
I was confused, because my money was starting to run low —
but I decided to follow his advice.
What mattered most in my mind was that my life and safety were secure.


To make a long story short, at 2 a.m., Mr. Ujang woke me up and bathed me again
behind his house.
Imagine taking a bath in the middle of the night,
with freezing water that came directly from the mountain.
The cold pierced straight through my bones —
but strangely, while I was being bathed,
there was one spot in my body that felt a burst of heat,
deep into my bones.
It defied logic.

After the bath, while I was still shivering, Mr. Ujang handed me two objects:
something that looked like a small sickle,
and a piece of small stone.



He said, “Keep these safe. From now on, you must be wiser and better
in all aspects of your life — especially in your words.”

Until now, I still keep those items from Mr. Ujang
as a reminder of my past mistake,
and of his kindness and the message he left me.

My grandfather helped me win the game

 Maybe every game has its own element of luck, but this time I truly experienced what luck really means. At first, I was just playing around because I needed a bit of money, so I decided to play with only 200k as my starting capital. Unexpectedly, that 200k turned into 5 million. Believe it or not, this is something that really happened to me. Long story short, I was playing on a digital online website called Victory88 . I played casually, hoping for a bit of a miracle. My game balance was down to only 80k when, without thinking, I rubbed my ring stone and said, “Please help me.” Not long after, I got a free spin on a 3k bet — and to my shock, I almost hit the max win of 90 million! Even though I didn’t hit the maximum, I still won 50 million, and I was thrilled. Soon after, I withdrew my winnings from the Victory88 website, and in less than three minutes, my bank balance had increased by 50 million. It’s truly the safest and most reliable site — Victory88 . I just want ...

Trying to change my fate by selling musical instruments

  Trying to Change My Fate by Selling Musical Instruments Who has ever felt bored or tired of their job after doing it for eight years? I want to share a little story on my blog about my journey—how I left my office job after eight years and started my own business. To begin with, I used to work at a private company called Victoryspace . After eight years there, I decided to quit because I no longer felt comfortable, especially in my final year. There was a conflict with a coworker who had been secretly embezzling small company goods every week. Rather than getting dragged into that situation or influenced by others, I chose to resign. For about two months after leaving, I couldn’t find a new job. I applied here and there, but no company seemed to be hiring. Finally, I decided to return to my hometown in a small village in Cianjur , to live with my parents. One day, I visited a childhood friend and that’s where I got an idea. It turned out my friend, Usup , was a craftsman ...

Music.CamVictory: A festival celebrating musical arts and cultural fashion

Image
  A few weeks ago, an event featuring a collaboration between traditional fashion and traditional music was held in a city in Indonesia. Festivals like this, which fuse music and attire, are a rare occurrence. This event was organized by  musik.camvictory , which is truly committed to preserving national dress and traditional music. It was a truly mesmerizing musical performance coupled with fascinating fashion displays. Hopefully, next year  musik.camvictory  will hold another music and fashion show event with a grander theme, or perhaps a collaboration with  BUSBDVICTORY88   on a transportation bus theme. It would be even more interesting with a "backstage on a transport bus" theme. I hope that the Victory group continues to be a leader and finds great success, so that multi-event celebrations like this can be held again in the future. Building on that fantastic concept, a "backstage on a transport bus" theme would be incredibly dynamic and unique. Imagin...
