Sunday and Haze

Today is Sunday! :)
Now that I am already working I realize the bitterness. So tied up. It is worse than school. I only get to rest on Sunday. In school we have long holidays and I can still walk Like A Boss when I turn up late to school. Unlike work, I have to put off excreting when time is running out! Duhhh

Happened to look at the calendar and it's the 23rd of June today. I am reminded of my birthday which is 2 days away. I often wish I forget my birthday and be reminded on the day by the people around me, that makes birthday more special!
Anyway this month the thing that I am most looking forward to is not my birthday but my first salary!!!
Hehehe
Maybe by next week I will have received my first official salary!
I miss earning money by selling snacks to the juniors in school many months ago, which is illegal, but I gave no damn. Business was really good!!! How I miss it!!!

Still worrying about my job performance as I am still newbie and have no working experience yet.
2 days ago Boss gave an amount of money to be stored in the hotel's bank account but I made a mistake of storing the money into the tours&travel account. Blunder! Arrghhh!!
Good thing the two companies are one group or I can't imagine if I stored it into any other's account............. I CAN'T IMAGINE!
It wasn't a small amount of money.
Felt like a failure after making that mistake, this is the second mistake I made.
The current collector told me it's fine to make mistakes since nobody's perfect and I am still new. I have learned again from this mistake.
I am such a big klutz!!!

Still not over with the haze issues that started from my country, Indonesia. The pollution was really bad in Singapore and it is so stupid that in social media the Indonesians, Singaporeans and Malaysians, the affected countries, blame one another, pointing fingers at who's responsible for the pollution. People are only good at blaming.
It's really saddening as this means we lose a large forest. Every single person in the world should be educated about the importance of a forest.
I learned that in the many things we use everyday like soaps, biscuits, etc. has created a high demand in palm oil so it is why, when lands are not enough to grow, they target the forests for space which causes environmental issues like threats to wildlife and pollution. Clearing forests to plant palms needs to be done under much consideration and law. Greed and overpopulation should be taken in hand.
Learning all that I decided to consume less palm oil, it is quite impossible to not use it at all.
So before buying some products it is wise to check the ingredients. If it contains palm oil (vegetable oil/fats), make an exception only if you REALLY NEED it.
I will try to kick away eating biscuits since they are unhealthy too.

Tomorrow marks my first week!

It is so unpredictable when few weeks ago I have decided to just work for my Daddy but tomorrow marks the first week of my job!

I have started working!

I got my job through a group in Facebook.

After I submitted my job application I received a call for an interview. I was 30 minutes late because of spending the whole morning with Fery. While on my way I told myself if being late will cause my failure to get the job I am fine with it, I don't find what's potential in being a cashier anyway. Yes, I applied for a position as cashier. I don't know what got out of my mind. All I care was just getting into a Tour&Travel company. If you think I look down on cashiers, NO! But I believe everyone in the entire world would want better jobs if they have the chance and choice. I don't look down on lowly jobs but people always want better things isn't it?

I think the one interviewed me was the boss personally. He said I am not suitable to be cashier because I will be attending university. Cashiers work up to night time. He was glad with my being able to speak and write English, he said that makes me suitable as tour guide/leader which is exactly what I wanted. I told him that's what I want but still I am not suitable because I attend university at night, how do I have the time to lead a tour. Unfortunately, the tours division has no vacancy too.
Little did I think he offered me an alternative job, that is to be a Collector. As the job is pretty outgoing I got interested, besides that I will be provided with one meal daily (in monetary form) and transportation. Why not giving a shot right? I told him I want to work right at the spot.

Shortly after walking home he gave me a call that I am to start work the next day!!!
Hip hip hooray!

I am still under learning from the current Collector, she's resigning so she will teach me everything until I can and then leave, replacing her. My job is not complicated but I find it hard to explain what it's like.

So far until today job is pretty easy or maybe I have not faced any real problems yet. Plus I have tips from this job!!! Awesome! I can't wait to receive my pay too!
I hope one day later I won't regret taking up this job but I am so hit that I actually cleanly forgotten about the hotel that is still under construction that I die die wanna work in! How could I actually forget cleanly about it! Such a shame because I find that new hotel very promising.
Well , the phrase goes If it's meant to be it will be.

PROM NIGHT




Too many pictures to upload.
As the saying goes "One picture holds a thousand stories."


So the prom ended around 1 am we went to Siang Malam for chicken rice. McDonald was too crowded. It's so hilarious the way we were dressed we settled in that kind of eatery. I changed my gown and still had my make-up. I loved the make-up that was done for me. I wanted it to be very simple. Finally got home and ended up on bed at 3.
Sadly some of our dearest teachers weren't able to attend. Like our Class Adviser Ibu Ririn and religion teacher Ibu Sugi... And the prom has costed me so much money!!! I won't forget how much I have wasted!

Mom is back from China! She bought me the kind of purse that I wanted. Thank you Mom<3 p="">Today I asked her if I must work for my Dad. Why didn't he talk to me about it? She said Dad thinks it's already useless to say to me as I won't obey. I didn't regard at her words because I simply believe that things are not that complex and it's obviously so.
So I decided maybe I will just settle at my Dad's first, I told her Dad's company is damn faraway, transportation will be hard. At the end of the conversation she has told me that if I want to work at another place just go for it.
Out of filial piety and duty I feel I should help my Dad, so while waiting for the new hotel to be ready or until my college starts, I have decided to work at my Dad's.

These few days I have been wanting an Iphone
The very surprising thing is on this exact day Mom happened to ask me if I want any phone and she's going to buy it for me. These words are like comets. Happens only once 78 years.
As my sister also wants a new phone,maybe she is going to buy it all together.


She asked it at the right time but I have my own ideas. 
Everyday I am living trying to be content and thankful for even the smallest thing in life. Even just a cup of water becomes a luxury to me when I drink it as I think of the places where water is not accessible, really miserable.
There is just so much things in life that can make you feel content so instantly and if you don't try you will only end up greedy and never ever satisfied.
I know the theory of Wants and Needs. Even if I want something, I will make sure that I need it.


I have a miserable feeling that always haunts me at nights when I am about to sleep during traveling or sometimes when I am outside the house having fun and it is always happening at night. It happened again last night after prom ended. I can't identify why I feel like that, there's a blend of sorry and guilt that I can't describe. It's just a really bad feeling!!! I don't wish to feel....
