Long List Long Wish(es)


Hi again and again!

I don’t know why, WHY, but i just wanted to share to you guys my long wanted list right now. Like, It is a rare time where I suddenly wanted so much things to be bought at once. Geez. Somewhat remarkable, no?
Here are my list, maybe... from cheesy one to the cool one:

1.  Luffy’s Straw Hat. I’m obsessed. Somehow I just have to buy it... Ugh my friends contaminated me of One Piece and I'm know crazy about it!


 2. Tony Tony Chopper’s Hat. Again, blame the One Piece fever. I have to get exactly like in the picture, which is the fluffy and big one! Several stores just sold the simple-hat one that looks like it, not like the exact form.


3. Neko hat, or bowler kitty hat just like this. Eventually this hat is very hard to be found in my country. Somewhat so popular in Japan. I just have to get it! 


Now so much things to hunt on Japan, eh? And it's all about hats its started to get weird :|

4. Ted Baker’s red bowler hat! This is just so cute and elegant! Watch it one time in the store and fallin' in love hard! Actually I’m not a hat freak, not a really collector of hats though but somewhat I just wanted so much hats right now...


5. Lipstick. Somehow lipsticks just catch my attention, although so far I'm not an even little bit of fans of lipsticks. Maybe the aging factor? Haha. I am  currently searching for 2 colors right now, a dark red one, and pale pink one. The closest brand I’ve found so far were 2, NYX and MAC. For a dark red one, I’d prefer NYX Soft Matte Lipcream between Amsterdam/Monte Carlo (In the picture I guess no 1 from the left or number 2 from the right)


For the pale pink, I have to choose between NYX Xtreme Lipcream (number 2) or MAC Nicki Pink Friday. I’ve to go to the store, seeing the color on my lips directly then I can decide.




6. Nude nail lacquer! Somewhat I wanted OPI – Tickle My France-y! The color looks so natural.. The nude one is my top list. However, If I’m allowed to add, I want Etude Juicy Nails too! I’ve seen my friends buy this stuff and wears it and so fuckin great. I mean, FUCKING, great.


7. How to start and run fashion label book by Ted Bowman. Maybe a great book for me? I’ve wanted to be a shoes designer though, maybe this book will help me go through the basic.. Actually though, I've been tempting to buy this book since the author itself did a press conference on Jakarta Fashion Week 2013 2 weeks ago and by the way he talk and promote, this seems to be a good one to read.


8. Coats. Enough said. This is not really my wanted list, but I need it right now for my trip to Japan next December. Shit Winter. I have browsed some, but 2 brands come in my mind. The Ted Baker one, or the Zara’s. But still, whichever the brands, I prefer the warmth, not the models. Fashionable doesn’t save you, y’know.



9.  Legging, legging, and legging! I need it! The one I have already damaged and time to buy for a new one, no, maybe two. Haha!

10. At last is.... Camera!!! Geez my current camera suck already!! I really wanted to buy new camera but I really don’t know which one to buy. Googling for several recommended brands but hell I still can’t decide!! Anyone help me??

Even looking on all of my wish list right now make me wanna puke. How come I’ve wanted so much things right now?? Good God! (and almost all of them are fashion items!!)

However, to be realistic, some of them maybe will be a forever wanted list. Such as Ted Baker’s hat, really, I have to think 1000x to even consider buy it. So expensive yet I will not wear it very much. The book, not sure I really want it. How to found out is to go to the bookstore, rip the plastic and skimming it as fast as possible. Not good? Won’t buy. *evil grin*

On the other hand, Luffy’s Hat and Tony’s Hat?? Definitely things to die for! Hafta hafta hafta buy it!!!

Jesus I just want it all ~

Anyway, thanks for reading my long un-useful post though.. I just have to share all the excitement.. heheh!

And The Answer Is...

Guys, this is my promise for follow you up about the result of several exhausted interviews and competition.

Guess what??

Have I mentioned before that I have applied for business plan competition on November?

Yes, Yes I have.

Remember that I’ll follow you guys up about the result??

For the competition:

I WIN!!!


I win the $1000 and 6 days business trip to Japan!!!

I have my dreams come true. Since I was a child. I really wanted to go to Japan and realized when I was twenty. SO FUCKING GODDAMN EXCITED!!! ROAAHHHH!!!!

I will go to Japan on the next 16 – 21 of December 2012. 

However, the first bad news is, I start my final exam on 20 December, which means I have to have the exam shifted on another day. Another day means more difficult question on the exam. *sigh. SO much for the Japan trip. It’s alright though!! I don't care!!

And the second bad news is, It's winter on Japan!! Mother of God. I've been freezing all over when I was in Aussie last year It wasn't even touch below 10 Celcius however it will be about 5 Celsius out there in Japan next month. Jeez. I doubt I wont go travel too much too there. Tokyo Disneyland on winter? Not a good idea. Preferably shopping or sightseeing at the most. Kill me. But still, I don't care!! JAPAN!! WOHOOOO!!

Prepare for loads of Japan Trip posts, guys. *evil smirk*

Oh, and another one followup:

For the A company application??

I am called to do the next phase: User Interview

So fuckin' excited (but not so excited as the Japan trip leh). Tomorrow will be the interview day, wish me luck!

This November are just fuckin' awesome.

Oh, one more. 

For the B company? 

Meh, still don't have any calls or emails or answers. Maybe I am rejected. Fine. I’ll take another chance someday. Remember I'm not that enthusiast on this company? I mean that.

Okay, enough for the snob posts. I'm not used being a snob.

Interview Marathon!

Sigh.

Sighness.

As a final year colleagues student, 1 thing to be feared of besides finishing my Final Thesis is...

The fear of being an unemployed after I graduate.


And yes, based on this fear I'm lately focusing on so much work application to several companies I'm interested. SO yeah, last week was my interview-a-thon week for me.

Just imagine! I'm requested to do psychological test from (just say) Company on Saturday and then, suddenly this Company B requested me for FGD too! Geez. This is what I've called an experience, really.

While I'm doing the psychological test for Company A, the result was quickly announced THAT SAME DAY (imagine the pressure for both mentally and physically, for me) and then continued directly into HR Interview. Damn my soul are sucked out that day. I came home like, "Jesus Christ I just want to sleep NOW". The pressure and nervousness are unbearable! Still, now I'm waiting fir the result to come out, whether I'm done for, or will continue on User Interview.

The different story came from Company B. This company, required us to do online aptitude test first from the internet, which was VERY HARD (I Think). Considering the competitiveness of this program opened by company B are very high and that damn hard aptitude test I can't work well, I actually gave up on the first application of CV and Aptitude test. I thought like, impossible for me even to pass the first requirement. Surprisingly, I'm qualified and CALLED for Focus Group Discussion.

Unbelievable.

But still, my pessimistic self think that this is a nothing-to-lose FGD. If I pass, well, that's good (and amazing. Really), but if I fail, so what. I'm not that really interested too. While I'm thinking like this, the FGD were kind of gruesome, I think. It was really a domination test, everyone was FORCED to talk on the discussion or you'll be looked like a fool between all of other applicants' enthusiasm. It's like, "Talk and dominate! If you can't, then poor you! You must be stupid" kind of thing. In this company, show off is the primary goal.

Meh, I think I kinda don't like it. Well, still waiting for the result though, but not as enthusiast as waiting for Company A's result. We'll see then.

Meanwhile, before the mentally and physically pressured interview, I applied for a Japan business plan competition which prize is a business trip to Tokyo. Wow! I'm really looking forward to the trip, of course. Fortunately, My business plan (which I have worked on about 2 weeks before this interview week) are qualified and I'm moving to the next step which were Proposal Interview and User Interview! I'm so excited!! I was called right on the Wednesday of the same interview week, and passed the Proposal Interview which leads directly to User Interview on the Thursday. This is so tiring but exciting. The only interview I'm waiting for the result THE MOST. My business plan are unbelievably accepted kindly and even the interviewer seems like very interested in it. I'm glad.

And the most exciting part is, I was informed that the winner of this competition were going to be given a chance to apply, have an interview and even work in Japan, directly. I'M FULL WITH DESIRES NOW. I'ts like wakening my childhood dream, again. When I was a primary school student, (until junior high) I've always wanted to go, see, and even live in Japan (blame all the mangas and animes). My dreams are kinda neglected as the time pass by because of several conditions that forced me to focus more on reality though. But now?? Hearing this chance again, is like waking me up to work again on my dreams even more. Maybe it is my, yes, my ONLY chance to make my dreams come true. I'm really, really, waiting for the result now.



-------

So, can you imagine how was my previous week then? Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, was really used for all kind of interviews. This November, is like the answering month, I guess. Everything will be clear this month. So, I'm gonna update this blog, SOON.
