Oh Keys!

Very terrible sorry to everyone at the office!!

Finally, I did something bad on the fifth day of work. As usual, each day at work I need to pee twice, in the morning and at noon. Well, today noon I went to pee and as usual the toilet door is closed after the children go home. Thankfully we got our own keys.

I went to the toilet bringing the key, as I had done my 'thing' I didn't realize that I didn't put the keys on my pocket. As a result, the keys fell down into the closet hole!!!!! So I ran to Elsa, she was at her desk, she thought that I was having kind of mystical experience that maybe I heard something scary. But once I told her that I fell the keys, she laughed and helped me to find a stick to pick it out. EEWW!! It was so yuck! But there is no other way than picking it out. I did it.
We washed it by using hot water and floor cleaner liquid then washed it again under cold water. So yucky but kinda hilarious.

Fourth day of working

It's almost 12 o'clock at noon.
It's Saturday and I'm working.

Last night I came to the office party, it was about 700 - 800 people in a building celebrating the day. We just wanna have fun. I and Elsa just sat in the middle of the room, watching the silliness they made. We got foods and there were a fish, rice, two shrimps, tahu, tempe, some vegetables and the sambel. It was miserable that I couldn't eat the fish, the fish was sour and insufficient to be eaten. Yuck! What kind of restaurant it is, giving us the sour one.

And, this very morning on my way to work I stopped by to buy a Hamid porridge at Merdeka st. Bandung. As usual, every time I eat porridge I like the "ati-ampela" one. After I arrived at my office, I directly put the porridge on a bowl and guess what? Another sour meal!! It got me sick of it! And found that it was the "ati-ampela" which was already sour. Finally, I just can eat the "kerupuk" accompanied by a glass of water. I do really want to yell at the seller.

Anyway, the fourth day of working is quite busy because my boss gave me some things to do. Calculating the average score of the students. It's quite fun tho and made me not paying attention to the time. It feels so long being in this office.

3rd day of working

I've decided to write my blog everyday from now on. I want to share the story of my work everyday. If I get a chance to write of course.

This the third day of working and there is a Barongsai outside the office. Barongsai is a Chinese traditional dance wearing this big long dragon costume. There should be minimum two people playing it and when they play, it's a WOW! Because it needs special skill to do that. Jump here, jump there. Jump everywhere on some arranged poles.

My office is located in a school. That's why it's quite hectic outside, the children from kindergarten till senior high school are out of their classes. It's Friday and casual! Anyway, on this third day of working I haven't been able to figure out what I'm supposed to do. I'm just waiting for being asked to do something. I hate this condition actually. I'd like to move and move and making a move. Not sitting here all day long.

Well, okay I gotta go now.

First day of making money

I guess I'm not supposed to say making money, because the term is quite different from the reality. If Americans' say making money, I believe that what they mean is they do want to make money literally. That's why there are many entrepreneurs out there starting their own businesses. Different from us, that we don't make money but look for it by working hard. Maybe this is why not all, even few, the Indonesian youths think of making their own money. Mostly prefer to seek money wherever instead of be the boss.

Well, to make it general in English, I will just use the term making money then.

This is my first day of a real work. I used to work in campus, but now I work in an language institution for real. I am so excited as well as confused about what I am supposed to do right now.

They said that all I have to do now is just relax, waiting for the contract paper to sign. An after that, here comes the work.
