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!!!!
