Repopulate the earth. Do you really have to do that? Recently i’ve opened this web called vhemt.org. This web talks about … choosing not create another human being to this earth. And believe me it’s not one of those suicidal web, or a web that supports abortion … no no no … it’s absolutely not. For me. I think it makes sense. :). It so does …

I remember when I had to work in an environment where is nothing like the embassy. It was like hell. Then I’m thinking in a positive way. I have a job, whilst millions of people out there don’t.

Working at the Guantanamo (that’s what I called) was definitely a great experience for me. People are so cold … it’s our rule or … there’s the door. J. Strict, clean, determined. First week there feels like first week at school. Stomach ache, nervous, sweats, and … I had the thoughts to give my resignation letter on my first day on that moment. Immediately, pronto!!!. This is my first and my last day. I’m so not going to wake up early in the next morning for this hell on earth. J. Luckily, I didn’t do that. Contemplating … I studied hard to get to know my self. Be more positive and throw your sensitivity in the trash can. The result … I can not get enough with the Guantanamo office. The only reason why I’m not there anymore is only because I worked on contract basis. Hell on earth becomes the 2^nd home that I will go to, to kill my time.

Then, working at the school. Enough said. Working in education field is … another experience for me. I was kind of hoping that this place will be the one that give me something in a positive way and make me stay for a long period of time. But it wasn’t. It turned out, I lost a 2^nd home. It sucks. At first I thought it was because the place. It wasn’t. It’s more complicated. And I thought it was because the education stuff that is new for me at that time. It was not either. Like pain in the ass, nobody is professional enough to work with in there. They don’t have what so I called ‘a self’. Sorry. Only the bosses that keep me stay. So instead of whining and bitching … I decided to move.

I applied in other company … hundreds company. And …..SHIT … another educational working place that nailed me down. I was thinking that I might going to end up typing another new resumes at the end of the month …

First day, nobody has the guts to talk to me. Next day … it went great. I have a friend that I can ‘nebeng’ with. My local boss is nice. My expat boss is very cool. Local friends are fantabulous. Expat friends … yeah they’re okay.

Then I learned … that actually it is not the job that suits me well in this current workplace. It is not because the place is so cool with this fingerprint scanner to enter the main door. And it is not because my very own cool computer with my flat and beautiful slim monitor.

It is still the damn educational field. It is still involved scores. The same things in that school.

I suited well, because I found my 2^nd home … again. It’s not the job. It’s the people who have ‘a self’. And you. You work with people. You can have like the most sophisticated computer and gadget in the world but if you deal with people that don’t have ‘a self’, forget it. Typed your fucking resumes and get the fuck out from there. If you have a self … you have the guts to do that … if you don’t, well I know that you’re staying there because you’re playing safe. Which is fine. And … the money. Which is not worth it. If you depend on the money matter … it will never be enough. You will always want more. ;).

Wiken balinya lumayan. Karena perginya ama orang kantor … jadinya tempat2 yang didatengin … gue udah pernah semua … Hahahahah Semacam apa ya gue disini? Semacam guide gue untuk temen2 kantor yang belum pernah .. Hahahaha ..

Tapi seneng. Next, I’ll go there again and try the water sports!!!

Dengan holiday ini, banyak yang bisa gue pelajarin. It has really sharpen my sense in reading people’s personality. :). It really amazed me, how much your natural body and face gesture can tell when you were with your co-worker for holiday.

Tuhan, Thanks for giving me Nanda & Nadya in my life!!!! And please make us richer, so we can go abroad for holiday to … I don’t know… YOU tell me ..!! Hihihihi …

Tadi pagi gue ke tempat kerja gue yang lama. Hhmmm … the scent still there. But now it is Not in a nice way, :). The good thing working in a pre-school for me is i can see lots of colors.

I can’t believe that it is almost a year since my last day in that place. On July 3rd to be exact.

When I entered the learning centre … everything just coming back to me. The yelling, crying, spilled water, and of course … the laugh. I learn a lot from that place. I also learn that now a job as a teacher … ternyata nggak melulu being noble. I didn’t say that teachers aren’t cool. Being a teacher is a cool job. Just don’t get drunk of it. It could turn you to the most skankiest person of all. And then you lost.

My appreciation level for teachers went up to a higher level after i worked there.

I met Yadi. The school’s janitor. He’s in a good shape. :). I’m so proud of him. Among all the employees there i think he’s the most tough one because he never complain whatsoever. The teachers …? Forget it….

I made good friends too. Especially with ms. Nenny. Oh GOD … SHE IS THE FOX LADY. SHE IS AN ASS. HARD!! Hahahaha tapi ternyata sampe sekarang gue malah tetep temenan ama dia. Dan dia satu2nya orang yang masih hubungan ama gue selain the bosses. :). Ah dalam hal temenan gue selalu dapet surprise. Termasuk pertemanan gue ama dia. It’s hard to be friends with someone in sickness and in health. Poor and rich especially. Who doesn’t?
