Yes I am learning to live !

About six sux months passed.

During those months, I got many experiences: nice (?), funny, even embarrassing.

Nice(?) experience: I did the test well: psychotest, interview. I was able to answer their – HRD and User – questions well enough (of course in my own opinion ).

Funny experience: I wore my shoes just a minute before I enter the test place/room. In the middle of my struggle, I have ever done something foolishly. One of these was, on the way to test place, at Blok M bus station (Jakarta), there was an traffic officer who warned me not to cross the bus area, even he did it loudly and more than once. What was my response ? I gave little care about his warning, and just half running-half walking as if I didn’t hear his warning. Oh no, there were two polices in front of me, and they forced me to walk through underground channel, which indeed is provided for the passengers. And I met with that traffic officer above – who warned me before. What a shame ….. moreover, he said something again to me. ( Luckily, he was a Traffic (DLLAJR) Officer, not “Satpol PP” officer… ).

What about that embarassing experience ? sadsuckshit ?

By the way, I usually use mass transportation means to reach the test places, such as bus, city van, and -the most crowded- electric-powered train.
Someday, I left early in the morning to take an interview at the company. I used railway/electric-powered train to reach first transit. There was a rain cats and dogs along that day, and it forced me to stay at railway station and wait until the rain is abated and over. I went to the second transit. Lack of asking about how to reach my destination to someone else, made me feel so lost at that area. In the beginning, I decided to cancel this plan and let this job opportunity pass. But, there was an unpredicted event occurred. I tried again to be able to take that interview test. I took some city van to reach the destination, and finally I could find that company’s office and join that interview test. This experiences gave me a valuable lesson, namely “don’t you ever give up”, “never surrender”, “ensure that you take the right way/bus”.

OK, I have to continue my struggle again ……
