At the end of Hopeless

Being a obedient boy in my family has been my principle. Especially to my Mom. She never asks me to do something that she knows well that I will not be able to do that. Until one day...
She REALLY wants me to be a teacher for 'government'

I know myself well. I know that I am not 'talented' enough to work for government. I am a free man. I want to work for myself - or, in the other word - to be self employed. I can't work under pressure of government rules. But....
I want to make my mom smile for me. Okay.. I will do that. I will be a teacher for my government as a civil servant.

That day, I joined a test to be a civil servant. To let you know, previously I had had these kinds of tests for almost ten times in ten years. But I simply let them behind because of my ignorance. But that day, I really did it.
Surprisingly, I PASSED the test - something which is quite difficult to achieve. Why? The government only took 7 participants out of about 50 candidates for my region. Right, I passed the test.
I had waited the official announcement for 3 months from the Province about my status until one day I received a VERY BAD news that MY TEST RESULT IS NOT VALID.

My mom cried... It was her second cry after getting divorced. I didn't know what to do... :-(
Anything I had done to make sure that I passed the test legally and with procedure. It didn't work!!!

In March 2009, God shows His miracle.. I got a phone-call from the Government telling me that my test was valid and will be processed well.
And On April 1, 2009, a paper saying that I am a teacher of English assigned to teach at Junior High School in Sebamban (quite a long journey from the Capital City of Banjarmasin), has been in my hands.

You know what?
My mom cries again... but this time, for happiness :-)

Hari-Hari Yang Melelahkan... :-(

Ini hari pertamaku berkenalan dengan yang namanya Blog. Ini semua bermula ketika temenku bilang, "bro, bikinkan aku artikel dong! Artikel pendek juga ga pa pa. Tapi rutin yaaaa," katanya sambil terkekeh-kekeh. Aku lantas bilang, "Bikin gituan sih gampang aja. Tapi wat apaan sih?" Aku jadi penasaran. Temenku, yang sarjana Teknik tu bilang, "Ntar lah dikasih tau pas artikelnya udah kelar. Oke??"

Bla bla bla.... akhirnya aku buatkan artikel wat dia dalam bahasa Inggris. Artikel yang menarik tentu saja: cinta, selingkuh, dan macam-macamlah yang berbau 'asmara'.

Singkat kata. Aku ke rumah dia, ngasih artikel-artikel tsb. Kebetulan waktu itu dia pas lagi online dengan 'bisnis'-nya. Begitu terima artikelku, dia copy, terus paste ke halaman kosong, edit sana-sini, terus publish.

"Wah! Apaan tuh??" seruku bingung. "Kamu apain artikel-artikel itu?"
Sambil senyum dia cuma bilang, "Gue lagi nge-blog, bro!"
"Apa? Nge-blog?" seruku lagi bertubi-tubi

Bla bla bla.... Ketertarikanku berlanjut. Mulai dari mempelajari blog-blog sederhana. Liat blog-blog orang. Sampe coba-coba bikin blog sendiri.

Pembaca yg baik, gue kan newbie nih... Jangan ditertawain yah... Kasih comment donk.. biar meriah blog ini :-)
