Relaxing Vacation

Let's have a happy post this time, as I notice that the posts that I've made this year are quite stressful to be read (yeah life is getting harder). Well, this long long vacation that just passed was one of the greatest vacation. I dunno why, but I feel it that way, although I still went to the same place for the fourth time, which is Samosir Island. Hahax, again and again, it's like that place is my hometown.

So this time I went for 5 days 4 nights. The days and nights were kept changing on till it was fixed on the week before. This time actually we (my family) were quite unprepared. So we planned to wake up at 4 am but ended up late. We should have started our journey since 5 am, but dunno what took us too long that we started at 6 am == The worst thing was we didn't buy anything for breakfast. I quickly filled my stomach with cereals before my gastric problem arises again. When we were on the way, my father suddenly remembered the water pump which wasn't unplugged. My father was afraid that it would be burnt if there was blackout. Soooooo, we were heading back home again to unplug the water pump ==

Fortunately the traffic to the harbour was not that bad. We could still have our (real) breakfast at Perbaungan and we arrived at Siantar around 10 am. The road to Tigaras harbour was getting worse and worse. We spent around one and one-half our only to reach the harbour == When we arrived, there weren't so many cars that would pass to Samosir. At first we were surprised that someone said the next ship would be arrived at 3 pm. Oh God, it was only 12 pm when we arrived there. Then when my father went to the ticket stall, the person said that it would be arrived in half an hour. Haaaahh, so relieved. We had our lunch while we were waiting for the ship. We had arrived at Samosir around 1 pm and we had to continue our journey again to Tuk Tuk which the hotels were located. Again, we stayed at the same hotel as last year, hufhhh. The problem was there were many stairs only to get to your room. I bet I will lose my weight so much if I stay there for a month, hahax. The great thing was the air actually. I can never breath that fresh air again in Medan. So I enjoy so much when I was there.

Another great thing was my buddy, E, also went to Samosir this time. So glad that I could meet him there, although he only stayed for a night. He was very bold to pass through Tele and drove for 10 hours. Oh God, I can passed out maybe if I were him. He went with his family and his gf's family. So I met him on the day I went back to Medan. He also went back on the same day. So happy to see his acts towards his brother and sister. He was so funny that I couldn't stop smiling. I took some pics and his gf took pics of us. Well, he did make me worry so much when he went back to Medan. He was struggling on the road as he drove at night. I kept on praying for their safety. Praise the Lord that they were safe and they were home at 2 am == 

I am looking for another vacation like this. So relaxing and refreshing =)

Here are some pics:

Thanks God for the chances, this is one of the greatest vacation that I've ever had =)

Lose My Identity (?)

Well, I had my first job interview today. A job which was recommended by my cousin. Actually I didn't want to apply for this one, as I have promised to myself that I want to have a job which I find by myself and no family nor friends are inside that company. I really want to stop on depending on my family and friends. But my father told me to apply for this job, as my cousin guaranteed that I will be accepted. So I arrived 8 am sharp and I was almost late. I was told to wait for a while and around 10 mins later I was asked to enter a room with a girl. First, we were asked to fill the identity form and I was so stupid as I forgot to bring a pen. So I decided to borrow it from the HRD girl. After some time, we submitted the identity form and we had the psycho tests. There were 7 sections and we spent like 2 hours to finish the whole test. Then the girl was asked to go home to wait any news from the company, meanwhile I went directly to the interview session. I was brought by the head of the department to the head of HRD room. Well, they were not look like bad guy, but what I wasn't satisfied was the salary. I wrote 2.5 millions and the head of HRD said it was too high. He said I should be paid at the minimum wage which is 2 millions. I was like, hey man, my work will be harder than usual staff in your office! I will have to go to other cities for weeks! A big company like that can't give a good judgment for this kind of thing. Again, it's this city's culture. In the end, they offered me 2.3 millions and I said I need some time to decide whether I accept this or not. They give me time till Monday.

Well, it's not like I'm complaining too much, but please, you can't judge someone's salary only based on experience only, but the workloads also. I just have this simple thought, if I can teach a private accounting lesson for 4 students with 600k each, then I'll receive bigger amount of money and I just need to teach around 2 hours for that. It's simpler than a work which have to go to other cities for weeks. Now I understand why some people can stick to being a teacher/lecturer for the rest of their life. Well, am I losing my identity by thinking that way? I dunno, I just feel something wrong if I accept that offer. Dunno it's me who's getting worse each day or what. Should I leave my dream and start a realistic condition of mine? Should I become an educator instead? Haaaah, I'm tired God...
