How did i get start live in Fashion

June 2006 was the time when i graduated from High School , very confused and struggled year for me , haha... have to admit it, coz i confused where to go next , 2 choices from my dad , 1st was went to the university as normal people did, 2nd was went to fashion education school , which is one of the famous industry at the place where i live (Bali - u know ,we are not allowed to have a big factory here,not like jakarta and many other places in Indo, so lots of people here doin a bussiness at garment, handicrafts and other small /home industry here)...

after several time, i decided to took a fashion design school here for a year, so every day i went there, just like school... after graduated from that fashion school, i'm helping my mom in her bussiness for months and i started felt bored , till one of my friends called me ,and tell me that at the place that she worked looking for the Assistant fashion designer , Wowww... i'm soo excited, i started to sent them the CV and prepared my self for the interview - well, dunno where did i get this such a self confidence that time haha... as u know the company is one of the biggest Local Clothing Label at Bali...so it must be lots of people out there who might much much better and having lots of experience than me - doin the same thing as i did - super excited for sending CV:p...
at that time , (maybe my friend saw me too confidence or what) she said to me , that she cannot guaranteed that i could passed and 100% got this Job... hahaha... poor me!
but i (still) with my confidence waiting for a interview call, whooooahh... after weeks waiting, they finally called me and arranged time for interview me...Yeay!!!!

14 April 2008 , 10AM
i went to Kerobokan - the office of BnS , with heart beating so fast (haha!)
was waiting at the 1st floor ( my office consist of 2 floors, 1st for stock room, security, EDP,IT - 2nd floor for Fashion division- graphic - Accounting - HRD - Manager - Bigboss Room and her 2 Personal assistants :p)
after 10 mins waiting ,i went to 2nd floor, and lil bit amazed haha! i've never ever come to the clothing line office before, so i amazed to saw a lots of BnS banner on the wall, lots of fashion clippings from Magz and FABRICs Swatches hanging on the wall (i thought wow! this is cool! hahaha.. this is not like an official office that i saw in TV haha!) ...
entered the Fashion Division's Room, waited big boss for minutes ,and... Finally met the Creator of BnS, Blonde, Fresh, Middle-Aged, Energic,beautiful(haha! i wish she read this and raise my salary :p), Australian Woman... :)
she's so welcomed... and started the conversation...
She : "Hi... ohhh, have we met before??? u look so familiar ,really! have we met before??"
(hahaha... of coz neva met u before! it thought)
Me : "oh hi... pleasure to meet u, oh really? no, i dont think we ever met before..hahaha"

after read my CV, She Started to asked common questions, such as , where did i study Fashion? Can i make a Pattern? , What is my fashion Style? , From Where did i know this Vacancy?, Do i usually wear BnS?--> of coz i do, everygirls in bali do! hahaha we not have lots of fashion label choices here though :p ,yeah have to admit it! have no zara or mango here haha!
Questions..Questions...and finally she realized how old am i...yeah, i'm just 19 years old that time...and guess what she said...

"Oh My Gosh, U're only 19!!! u could be My Daugther!!!! Jezz!!!! hahahaha!! Very Young yaa!"
with her hard Eng Accents :p

(Yeah! i wont be here , sitting here with such a heart beating and probably getting my snowy vacation at Japann now if i were ur daugther ,boss! hahaha i wish! :p)

After that she asked me to Measured Trouser, Dress, and sketch a Dress...
finished! wait for mins! the Designer came to me , and congratulated me!
