Enyt's Blog

I started to write this blog in 2002 when I was still living in Osaka. This blog is more about my life abroad, my past and my present.

Name:
Location: New York, New York, United States

November is my fav month. I was born in Indonesia 28 years ago and currently living in New York. In the city of no close friends, i spend most of my leisure time at the gym and bookstores and yet i am neither muscular nor a nerd..: ) I take life as it is, i try to get as much as from life experiences while i am still young. I've been given a lot of opportunities to spend my life abroad, my inside curiosity is like a three years old kid. Give me the world, i'll give you my heart. :P

Did lots of things today. I had lunch with Satoko at Umeda, and then went to employment centre looking for jobs. The place is very interesting. Everybody can look jobs by computers and then write down application. The employment centre's officers will help you to call the places and then arrange for interviews. I think this is very helpful but of course it doesn't guarantee you'll get one. I saw that there're various ages of people there, everybody tried their lucks ( well, including me ). Unfortunately, I was at the wrong place, it was the place for Japanese people only and I was told to go to another place for foreigners. So I went but I forgot to bring my working permit letter from immigration (how careless I was). Anyway, I will try again next time after I find that letter ( again, I forget where I keep it ).
Afterwards, we went to look for some souvenirs' examples for Ua ( as she asked me a favor to ) and also looked for bus ticket to Tokyo. I met with Ken on my way home. He called and then we met at Umeda Hankyu station to go back together.

It was very nice of Sakoto that she was willing to keep me company today. She insisted me to speak in Japanese. We spent 5.5hours going around ( and had twice of meals ). We also talked about going to Arima Hotspring in Kobe. Japan is famous for its hotsprings from Hokkaido to Kyushu and I really want to try one before I go back to Indonesia. It's gonna be a very great experience.

Sometimes I would think how unlucky I am in finding even simple jobs in Japan. I can't believe it. On the other hand, I have been really lucky to have many real friends here whom have been helping me alot. I want to thank Ken, Henry, Yamashita san, Sakoto, and Tomomi ( even though now she isn't in Osaka anymore, but I still want to thank her) and then also Hideki, Kaorun, Kamachi sensei and Sumitani sensei. These people have been great helps in my life here and in helping me with my Japanese. Henry once said that we don't need many friends around, you just need a few real friends. That's more important. None of them is my classmate. I don't know why but I just can't make close relationship with them. Perhaps of age and interests differences.
