Back to Basic

Wah, I think i really only start posting in here whenever I'm out of China! Lol. They really did a great job blocking me from these sites...

Anw, China has been great - even though I remembered I did complain a lot in the beginning of the first semester. Lol. Second semester has been real fun with more people and friends from all over the world. I'm glad I went. Actually this might be my first time truly being friends with someone outside Indo and hanging out with them often. It has been a blessing and a whole other journey in China. It's a different kind of 'fun' comparing to my life in Sydney, both life help shaped the me now. Yeah... ^^ I'm so blessed... ^^

Ah... Now that I'm back... So, what's been going on so far?

Dad was hospitalized for a day - so I spent a whole day a day after I got back to Jkt at the hospital with dad. Interesting exp. A glimpse of my mom's life before. Can't imagine her feelings spending all those nights with dad at the hospital, with so much worst of a condition. I'm proud of 'em. They are strong people. Even if they can be pessimistic and sarcastic. I guess that's their way of handling life.. Trying to stay close to reality. And I realized now, it is a culture in our family.

Went out with old friends - high school friends and old friends from my home stay to UK. Amazing to see how people change/don't change at all. Hahaha. It's very interesting to see how you feel they change so much yet not at all.

And while in the midst of all that, I got a surprising phone call from Panin Bank. Surprising because I was in the middle of 'reunion' with friends when they called. And because I applied for the job waayyyy back when I was in Beijing. Those days of "well, I kinda already start applying but I gave them my Indo's phone number but I'm still here in Beijing? So I don't know how it'll turn out." Lol. So the call was for a psycho test today at their office at Petojo at 9am.

Results? Hum. I passed the pyschotest (took them 3 hours to complete the whole thing - as in the test). Then I passed the first interview with the HR manager (took them another 50 min to analyze the results of the tests then announcing the results and then another hour for me until I finished being interviewed). So I went there at 9am and get out of there at 3pm (another hour waiting to be picked up by mom n dad).

5pm got back home. 5.30ish pm got another phone call, saying I'm being called for another interview with their chairman of the division next monday 9am on the main branch of Panin Bank.

So I guess everything went well.... Except... I'm still at a dilemma of whether to continue with this job or not. Maybe I will if they raise the pay. Hummm.. I guess that's another consideration left for next week. Meanwhile, let's apply for another job. (And I still want to travel around too! Java, Japan, Europe... Lol. Ah.. I want too much, don't I?)

Anw, I thank God for this opportunity. I thank God I came back to Indo. I thank God for friends who've crossed path with me - some who will be coming soon! I thank God just because there are never ending stuffs to thank for...

New year, new path, new challenges, new knowledge, new experiences, new meetings, everything new... With the same old, never changing, keep renewing God. Awesome!
