I have been feeling very nervous for the past one week. I went to an interview on Thursday with a company I love so much. I had an interview with the Brand Manager herself and it went well. So she told me that she liked me and would arrange a meeting for me to meet up with her boss, the head PR of the company. I was really confident and happy. Once I stepped outside the building, I got a call from the company to set up a meeting with the boss the following day.
So I did. I came early as usual and I met him. He seemed kinda fun. Different from the interview I had the day before, he didn't ask me technical questions. Here are some of the questions he asked (from what I remember):
Him : Let's say, your boyfriend... Do you have a boyfriend at the moment?
Me : No.
Him : Ok. So let's say you have a boyfriend later and he doesn't like your job. What are you gonna do?
Me : Alright. Well, I'm currently single. If I will have boyfriend later, I supposed we would have the same interest at some point or we wouldn't even be together in the first place. There's should be no problem. (Here's what I wanted to add but I didn't : "If he still doesn't like what I do, I'll take him there then he'll know how fun my job is").
Him : Do you drink?
Me : Yea. But I haven't been drinking lately.
Him : Why?
Me : Well, I haven't been to club yet this year. You can say I'm a social drinker.
Him : Do you smoke?
Me : Nope.
Him : You have to.
Me : Hmm... can you give me 10 reasons why I have to smoke? (I was joking... So we won't be so tense)
Him : (thinking)... So you'll be crazy.. Haha. I don't know either... Well, our job is to make people happy and they can have fun. So we have to be fun too. What will you do if you're suddenly in a bad mood while you have to work?
Me : See, professionalism is really important to me. For an instance, if I go to a restaurant and the waitress, being in a bad mood, and shove me the menu, I wouldn't be so kin on that. Since, I don't like people doing it to me, I wouldn't do that either. (Here's what I wanted to add but didn't : "Besides, I can deal with myself and not affect others during my job. I keep my professionalism")
Him : Let's say when you work then your Blackberry ringing non stop with 3 customers at the same time with different needs... what are you gonna do?
Me : I will see thru the enquiries and focus on each reply.
Him : So you won't answer in a wrong window... Yea I got what you mean.
Him : We have loads of events, and what do you think if you have to wear weird costumes sometimes?
Me : No problem. What's wrong with it, right.
So, that's (more or less) how it went. Finally he told me that they would contact me in a week. That's when I totally lost my confident because I thought they would hire me straight away. So ever since last Friday, I had been very nervous waiting for their call. I know it hasn't been exactly one week but tomorrow is holiday so I don't think they will call.
And... Just to show how passionate I am about this, I even showed up during their 8th Anniversary party. Somehow I wonder why they don't call. What is it that they think I don't fit into. Anyway, it's time for me to look for a job again :) Wish me luck :D <3
Good night xx

Fairy Tale
I think life is like fairy tale. One just doesn't realize it because they don't know the ending just yet. The only difference is that they have witches, prince, castle while we have bitches, cute guy, grand houses.
I don't know how mine would end but I truly believe that I do live in one fairy tale myself. I met my first love when I was in Junior High School. I think my friends already know what his name is since I repeat it over and over again. His name is Daniel. He was my best friend (or at least I thought so until he drastically changed). I met Ian after that whom successfully made me forget Daniel. And if you are my best friend or have been reading my blog, you should know that it didn't go well between me and Ian. And my heart is now belong to him.
So, what about Daniel and why did I bring it up again? I met him. Last Saturday. So I was hanging out with my friend Stefanus at Grand Indonesia when I met him. He was wearing purple. I was in shock when I spot him but I greet him anyway. The conversation went like this:
Me : Hey Daniel. How are you? What are you doing here?
Him : Hey I'm good. Well, I'm back for good.
Me : Owh?
Him : Yea, I'm currently working here in Jakarta.
Me : Owh yea? Where at?
Him : Sunter.
Me : Owh alright. Where do you stay?
Him : Sunter. So I stay at Sunter and work at Sunter as well.
Me : Owh I see.
Him : What about you? I thought you were in Kuching?
Me : Yea but I came back to Jakarta few years ago.
Him : For good?
Me : I hope not.
Him : Why?
Me : I'm not a big fan of Jakarta. Traffic and all. Aren't they stressing? lol
...
And the conversation went on. I asked for his Blackberry pin and he did gave me so we're now contact thru Blackberry Messenger.
I was really excited. But when my friends asked me "Do you still have feelings for him?"... I couldn't answer it.
He has now become like a character in a book I read. It's like when you read a story like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty or Rapunzel; and now imagine if the prince (if you're a guy then imagine the Cinderella) appear before your eyes. That's exactly how I felt when I saw him. Yes, I envy him. Yes, he looks really good. Yes, I've always dreamed to be in the story. Yes, I did want to meet the prince. But do I love him? No, I don't think so.
Anyway, I hope we could be friends. Just like old times right before I had feelings for him. One more thing, I've been wanting to give to him, but everytime I see him, I'd totally chickened out. It's the initial "D" (no, not the movie) pendant I've wore for 11 years. I couldn't give it to him. Yes, it stands for "Daniel" but I couldn't give it to him. I've wore this for too long to give it to him and have him throw it away. Therefore I declare that this "D" no longer stands for "Daniel" but it stands for "Dance" and "DJ" now :)
Good Afternoon xx
