The most-awaited CCNA certificate

Finally, my most-awaited CCNA certificate was coming this morning. My mother said that I have a package from Inixindo (where I do my CCNA exam). After I receive it, there was NO Inixindo sign in the envelope, instead just an address from San Jose, CA. My heart was beating faster this time. FYI, San Jose, CA is the headquarters of Cisco Systems, Inc. So I open the envelope carefully and then I see a blue envelope with white-grayish Cisco's new logo. At that moment, I was very happy and lost in awe. It's like a dream. Then I reach the blue Cisco envelope and open them. In the inside was, as I predicted, a CCNA certificate and Cisco congratulation letter.

My (flashback) birthday

Location: Universitas Surabaya
Date: August 29, 2006
Time: 9:55 AM

This was my birthday 2 years ago when I was still in college. Many of my friends supposedly were off that day, but because my girl was organized them well, they made a surprise party for me. Then the morning was come. One of my friend was sent to watch me in the class and after class. After the class was over he asked me to the cafetaria, I agreed. In the cafetaria, unnoticed by me, he calls the others to join in the cafetaria. Then, all my friends were coming there and I just can't hide my surpriseness. Then ultimately, while my surspriseness still high, my girl coming too and brought the cake that I like most. I just standing there with awe. And then the party was started.

Dual-mode phone (GSM+CDMA)

Yesterday my father has bought me a ZTE H500 for my birthday. This phone is unique coz' it has two slots for SIM card and RUIM card. So it's being more efficient with only brought a dual-phone that contain them instead of two phones that contain separately. However the bad side of this dual-mode phone is the battery will run out very fast coz' it is actually two phones merge in one. Luckily the vendor is good enough to give you a separate battery right out-of-the-box. So if the battery has run out and the separate battery is far from you, pray that's nothing important matters will call you. This dual-mode phone is sold ranging at Rp. 800.000,00 to Rp. 900.000,00 and as far as I know, being the cheapest dual-mode phone in Indonesia.

10 days of despair

I've passed CCNA exam. The next objective is to get a job.

Then I fly to the net and found some good website for a jobseeker like me. Some of them are JobsDB, JobStreet and JobITCOM. Most of them are located in Jakarta, while my domicile is in Surabaya. So I must recalculate the income when I work there, is it enough for me to live there. It's hard for a low experienced, even with CCNA certificate to get a high income at first job.
