Even Better (Slovenia Stories #5)

Črenšovci – Tuesday, 4^th August 2015

            Yes, what can I say? Today’s much much better than yesterday. Mmm... where should I start? Initially, it wasn’t so good because Yusran and I had woken up early in the morning. Thought we’d start working from 6 o’clock (and it was how it supposed to be) but we had miscommunication. We just forgot to confirm and likewise he forgot to arranged how we’d go to the company. Jadilah bangun pagi hari ini sia-sia hahaha. But that’s okay. Doesn’t really matter. We left home around over 7.30 and almost 8 a.m even still using Roman’s car (Iya, masih dengan beemwe-nya). When we arrived at the company, he stood akimbo starring at the employees and said, “Oh, everybody is working already?” (dalem hati gue ya iyalaaah ini kan udah jam berapa dan harusnya udah mulai dari jam berapa. Kitanya aja yang telat K Tapi tenang aja kita kan datengnya sama pak bos jadi ga ada yang bakal komen wakaka :D )

        Nah, here was the moment when I felt better. I was still working at the same place like yesterday. Di awal sempet matahin daun gitu (duh maaf ya) dan akhirnya gue ngasih tanamanya ke Simon untuk dibenerin haha. Yet today, Simon talked to me. Hooray… Finally, there was somebody else who wanted to talk to me (gak kaku lagi macam kanebo kering). We had small talk. Even, he brought me some water (ahh hvala Simon J). At the point, he spoke to me and that was a good move.

First Day of Work (Slovenia Stories #4)

Črenšovci – Monday, 3^rd August 2015

           Yep yep yep! Today is my first day of work. Feeling nervous actually yet excited and curious at the same time. We left home at 7.30 a.m with Roman drove us to the company using his car. He did it because Roman and Tomaz hadn’t set arrangement yet about our transportation. How we would go to the company and back (Anak magang mana lagi coba yang dianter sama pak bosnya naik bmw ke tempat kerja? :p hahaha). Oh yeah, upon my arrival at the company, I was welcomed by a middle-aged man named Marko. He’s kind a field supervisor in Ocean Orchids. He speaks English well J. Then, Roman handed us to him. After that, Marko brought me to Spacing department and I was placed there. Before starting work, he gave me brief explanation about the job description and what should I do. I replaced position of a Slovenian girl named Viktoria. So, my job was about moving young orchids plants in which its leaves had been growing rapidly onto bigger plastic pots so the growing leaves won’t cover one and another. The challenge was at the pot that was moving run by a conveyor machine that would only move when the nearest pot to the sensor had been filled. Two workers were positioned at end line of machine. Thus, we needed to pay attention each other since we must work in synchronicity.

Slight Hangover (Slovenia Stories #3)

Črenšovci - Sunday, 2^nd August 2015

"I got a hangover, whoa!
I've been drinking too much for sure
I got a hangover, whoa!
I got an empty cup pour me some more" -Taio Cruz [Hangover]

            This morning I woke up at 7 a.m with a heavy head and felt a bit dizzy. Thought I got a bit hangover feeling from yesterday (Ohh, thanks to Rok -_-). Surely, it’s because I’m not used to with that  (See? I've told you I've never drunk any alcoholic drinks before). To be honest, the only alcohol that I’ve ever tasted is holy communion wine (if it can be called as ‘alcoholic drink’ not fermented grape juice :D). So yeah, you can say I’m a church girl (try to imagine me with invisible wings and holy circle above my head O:) *wink wink* LOL!) and yesterday was a big achievement already for this church girl to drink glasses of wine and a can of beer in one night. Though, I admitted the ‘real’ wine didn’t feel that bad actually ;p.

One fine sunny morning in the summer *lazy time*

Barbeque Party (Slovenia Stories #2)

Črenšovci - Saturday, 1^st August 2015

Hello again!

        Before continuing, I want to say something. Jadi gini, kemaren kan sudah dicoba menulis dengan bahasa Inggris tapi kok kurang enak ya? Pas mau ceritain momen lucu jadi kurang greget. Kalo kata mbal Inul Paramita… Eh ya apa? Mbak Inul Daranista? Eh Inul Daratista? Iya, kata mbak Inul Daramanis (digigit nyamuk dong ah) rasanya bagai ‘sayur tanpa garam’ kurang enak, kurang sedap gituuu. So, start from now I’m gonna use mixed language between my first language, English (lying :p) and bahasa Indonesia as the second language. I’ll try to make it as fun as possible to read yet still informative. So, here it is... From my own perspective, Slovenian Stories day 2! Enjoooooy~

What a good Saturday night. We had barbeque party today. Roman and Milena invited his relatives to come here. You know what I like the most? They brought their children with them. Uuuh sooo cute! Jadi pengen meluk bapaknya gitu (eeehh…) :p. Some of the guests helped Roman and Milena to prepare the food and sadly I just could help them in prayer :p. Maklum ga bisa masak boo~ :’( Apalagi makanan bule.

This is Veronika (mangap dikit *cekrek*, senyum dikit *cekrek*, tongue out *cekrek*)
