The Hunting Is Over (hopefully)!

The Hunting? What did I hunt for? Maybe some of you are wondering, but no, it's not about hunting a prospective husband to be :p Well, I wish I'd have worked on that, too since my parents have started bringing the topic up recently.

So, it's about job hunting. I've been spending the past 6 months for preparations and the job hunting itself. I had that moment when I was a bit disappointed and frustrated for failing several times and decided to take a distance for a while from all the stuff related to job hunting. But then, after having a nice getaway to my home country, I regained my determination and confidence and actually worked it out :D And the most grateful thing was that I even had the choices :)

However, turned out making the right choice was not an easy thing to do. Too much stuff to consider. Well, maybe it's because of my personality so that I tend to think too much when it comes to choices. Simply because I don't want to regret it later. I don't know whether the choice I made is what best for me but I hope it is.

Anyway, I'll still be around in Japan after my graduation next year! Inshaa Allah :)   

What's Up!?

Hellooo!

The past weeks were unbelievably crazy, so hectic that I got lost on dates and days, and the peak was last Friday when I felt I might break down physically. And now it's March already! It feels like when January ended it jumped right through March. WOW!

Thank God I survived and the adventures aren't over yet.

I really want spring to come soon~! I'm not okay with the continuing cold weather anymore :|

Anyway, here is a pic of early cherry blossoms that I saw few days ago around the neighborhood :D

Btw i'd like to invite you to listen to a singing lesson on nhk world radio this weekend, fyi, i'm gonna be in that  soon to be broadcast-ed program :)

You can listen to the program in English or in 16 other available languages like Indonesian, Thai, Urdu, etc. Just follow this LINK :D  

I Was So Relieved

I had a hard time last night with my presentation stuff, and slept late at night. Then i had to wake up so early in the morning. Because today is my first day to do アルバイト (read: arubaito, means: part-time job). That's why i didn't want to be late on my first day, and also in the rest days. From now (actually i signed the contract yesterday) i work for Odakyu Building Service.

You must be curious about what kind of job that i've been doing (since i've started this morning)?!
Say yes, please? ;p
So, i'm gonna tell you now. I work as cleaning service at my campus area. It's not a bad job cuz i'm gonna get a lot of money from this job. The payment is 1300 JPY per hour from monday to friday with the working hour 07.00-08.30 and 1000 JPY per hour for saturday with the working hour 08.00-10.00. While it's not a really hard job to be honest. Me and the other 留学生 (read: ryuugakusei, means: foreign student) only have to clean the campus area. It isn't hard because there are so many people so that we are divided into some groups and clean different spots.

this is the uniform that i have to wear

After morning baito (this is how people usually say it), i began to feel so nervous. Because i was gonna present my happyou (means: presentation) soon. I can't describe how i felt at that time for sure. Extremely nervous. I was thinking of not going to the first class for final preparation (reviewing the material and so on). But then i kept going to the first class. And after the first class finished, i felt so bad. I thought i wasn't ready yet.
But then i had to go on. And precentate my happyou. Well, after the discussion session, when people could ask as many as they wanted as long as there are still enough time, then i closed my happyou. And i was so relieved at that time. No more burden. Yippeee!!!
