My Life, My Story, My Testimony

Why can’t you follow the simplest order? You mean waiting for nothing? I don’t like it! C’mon, let me out. I want to make my mark. Fine, but not in the wrong places. What exactly do you want from me? Do you want me to be unemployed, like forever? I can see nothing in your way. That was a poor unfinished conversation with my dad. I went to my room and locked the door afterwards. I was full of anger, yet I could do nothing. Suddenly my tears fell down. I grabbed my phone and I texted my friend, Johannes Natanael Sianturi. I called him Jojo. Why did I text him? I don’t even know, I could only think of him at that time, for a shoulder to cry on. So, here is the case. I had been unemployed for 4 months. Then, a job offer came in my way for education counselor position from an education institution in Yogyakarta. They offered me a monthly take-home payment 3-times higher than regional minimum wage. Yet, the job is not in line with my discipline. I don’t major in education. Neithe...

I never knew you’ve got into difficulties like these. How do you pull yourself together? , said my younger brother. He hasn’t found a place for internship after several months searching, while he is obliged to take an internship in 4 months from now. In my case, it has been 7 months after graduating from the University of Leeds and I haven’t been employed by any companies or industries. Well, let us sit down and I’ll tell you what I’ve been through. I officially finished my master degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Leeds on 24 October 2016.

How about starting to write in a blog?  What? A BIG NO! I tried it before, not once, but many times and they were sucks.  Are you kidding?  It’s true. This is not my first blog. Before, when I was in the first year of college, during my bachelor degree, I started to write scientific blog.  How boring . Yes, you’re right. I could only stand for a week with two articles and all of them was my assignments in class. Next, I tried to create fictions blog.  Sounds promising . Unfortunately, not at all. I could only write one and half short-stories.  Ah, dev, you’re such a moron . Could you stop that?! That’s why my answer is a BIG NO for starting a blog, again. Happy? A couple days afterwards... C’mon, start blogging.  NO WAY! How do you suppose me to do that? I can’t. Though I have lots of time to produce some writings, but in short time, I will be busy with my days and the blog will be discarded. So much later that the old narrator got tired...
