Heyho!

It’s 13.37 pm in South Italy, and my stomach is full after eating fried rice with meat and bakwan. Well bakwan is Indonesian food made from flour and vegetables, such as carrot and lettuce. I made it spicy, ah it was delicious. Nyum!

Okay, so my other buddies in office are:

4. Ido, 26 y.o, crazy Arab-Indonesian, has a long and beautiful eyelashes (and always make me and other women want to cut them!). He is sooo active like a rabbit robot which already got new battery, either he will talk with different annoying sound or he will make himself like a lamebrained person. One day he drove us to the mall in Jakarta, and while he was driving, he also singing and dancing. Dancing and singing in the road! And we almost hit the bus. Doh! We were scolding him of course, but he just replied, “but everything is okay right? Jussssttt, relax.” ahahaha.. He’s really smart and busy. If he’s getting busier, he will have pimples on his face, a big one, either on the forehead or cheek. By the way, he was the one who always helped me did my microsoft excel assignments. Hahaha.. And now, Ido just got a new great job in Chile. He will be a kind of chief handling the branch office there. So proud of you, Bro

5. Jaro, woman, always has “killing-shoes”, the shoes if you wear them your appearance will increase 3 levels. Woohoo! Jaro is a kind of girl who’s ambitious, has a high passion on marketing, and well-organized. If me and Biyo, for example, did something stupid like tried to lick our own nose, Jaro would say, “oh no, I won’t do that, it’s so stupid and gross.” Hahaha. Sometimes she checked my study progress with asking, “How’s your study?” “How’s your exam? Did you get good grades?” “How’s your Italian language progress? Is it better?” And I just replied, “good, hehehe..” (if you know what I mean :p) But fortunately my grades are good, except my Italian language, it’s stuck. But don’t worry, I already knew bad words in Italian.

6. Iga, 25 y.o. Ohya today Biyo, Jaro, Ido, and Ling-ling gave her the birthday surprise eventhough her birthday was almost a month ago. Hahaha! One thing I love the most from her is her English pronunciation, really good and perfect. If you knew Cinta Laura, Indonesian actress who used to live abroad and she always speak with mix Indonesia-English, well the way Iga speaks is better then her.

Okay, they are the 8 of us. Why 8? Because we were on the Management Trainee program in that biscuit company. So we were together luckily passed 6 levels of test before we were accepted:

1. Psychological test; 2. Forum Group Discussion (FGD) with HRD team; 3. Interview with HRD team ; 4. Forum Group Discussion (FGD) with senior managers; 5. Presentation in front of the Board of Directors; 6. Health Test.

Well, I always have a strange feeling when the first time I meet a person, somehow I know that this person will have a long relationship with me or not. And when I first met Ido, Iki, and Jaro in Psychological test, I felt that feeling ( I met the rest of them in contract signature a month later).

Anyhow, I’m proud of them, and I think HRD made a good decision choosing the 8 of us. Not because we are smart, charming, and awesome. But they made us found each other and we found new playground: the biscuit office! Hahaha.
