Well, here I am. Still able to write a blog, even the timeline is not as much as before. After all the dramas involving the hay fever that makes me couldn't breathe, and also some allergic that makes my feet really itchy and resulting me scratch it, and makes it look horrible.

I still have my lovely boyfriend that always tries to listen, and understand. I have a blogger friend that still want to come, read, say hi, in this blog and even in my personal instagram. Of course there are some people that still want to take their times to read my posts.

Yes, I am survive in 2018. But not just only survive. I survive and also feeling grateful and happy.

And I wish, in 2019, I will get more happiness, and luck too.

Desperation made me really sensitive. For some people maybe they love to be stay at home, but not me. I just couldn't stay at home all day all year. I just couldn't. It drives me crazy, moody, sensitive, and more negativity thought and mood. Questioning everything, my decision moved to Australia, my relations with my boyfriend, had a bad thought about everyone and everything. Even worse, I feel like I was in jail.

Then, my boyfriend's daughter tried to help me by asked her boss to accept me working at his place. She was working in a small caterer company in here. And she had work for a couple month with him, and she keep saying that her boss is a good man. So she said she will tried to asked him for me.

Long story short, he allowed me to worked at his place (until now). Happy? For sure. I finally have something to do, outside the house. Slowly I get away from my depression, and of course makes a new step for my career in Australia for sure.

I never worked at hospitality, nor as a chef. That is why everything is new for me. I cook, yes, but for myself and my boyfriend of course. Luckily, the boss gave me chance to learn all, bit by bit. I still remember my boyfriend's daughter said that I should be more active, do any work, and learn faster.

I'm happy that my first impression is good, and also just need two works to get my salary up, LOL.

This kind of work is 100% different from what I had in Indonesia. The world, the life, and also the status.

Back in Indonesia, I always worked at the office, behind the desk, faced the computer, and really comfortable.

Now, I have to start from the beginning, using my brain and power, and of course being a customer service excellent. Because the business is running from the direct satisfactions from the customer.

Then, my status is casual worker. In this business, means I work only if my boss call me to work. Or in my job, he just send me the paper that mentioning the function time and date, with whom I have to work, and also what time I should be there. If he not send me any, so no work for me.

At the first two months, I had work at least once every week. It's a good things, knowing it's not everyday job. At least, when I go out, I have something to do.

In one time, I once didn't get any job for three months. I once tried to find the more settled work. Like Monday to Friday, every week, so I will have the settled salary too. And since I still tried to get another job, I missed the chance to work, simply because my boyfriend's daughter thought I am not satisfied work at this place. But the real reason is just I want more day works.

It is as simple as " I want a weekdays job", because everytime I had job to do, it always at weekend, means weekdays I do nothing. And mostly I do nothing all weeks, since it wasn't every weekend job.

Of course the desperation came again. Even I already have put my experiences in this company at my resume, still it's not enough. None of those companies asked me to go to next level. All just rejection or worse, no reply at all.

Christmas time is a busy time for this company. Nowadays I had at least two jobs in a week. And of course always at weekends. My boss said it simply just because I don't have a car, and no one take me to the workplace at weekdays. So he always put my schedule at weekends.

He also said, he gave me more jobs to do, so I could save some money to buy a car. He said, in one point, he want me to run the catering by my self. And he will need me more to do it.

It is a good things tho. At least he give me chance to built a foundation for my career. Btw, why I want and some people said I must have a car, because it is a must thing to have here. Lot's of companies asked about it. And their reason is either their place is far from the public transport, or for safety reason.

But then my boss said he know how uncomfortable to depend on someone for something small, that is why, he tries to help me get out from that.

And sometimes I feel really tired, and heavy, while in fact I am not doing anything. Even when I felt so tired and heavy, I could feel that actually I am fine. That kind of feeling.

Like any arts, the tools I need is not too far from it, and these are the tools I need: 

• scissors
• glue
• glue gun
• 3 pcs coloured papper
• pencil 
• ruler
• a small "message in bottle" bottle
• love puffy sticker
• glitter glue
• our pictures 
• another stickers or pictures

How to Make

• Front box

For front box, it will be the biggest out of three. So the length and width is around 14,5 cm.

• Middle Box

And for the inside box, the meassurement will be 1.5 cm smaller from the middle box.

When you finish measure it, just cut each stripped line, until it shape like the bellow shape. 

Next, all you going to do is just do the creativity for your box. Add the picture, the puffy sticker, everything. As long as it's not far from the theme.

Want to write a note? Just write it on you office words, use different font from the default one, and print it with colour paper. Make sure the size is fit at any boxes you want to stick it. 

For the middle part of the box, it's free for you to fill with, or not fill it at all, your own creativity. As for me, I use the small bottle that usually used for message in the bottle.

Inside the bottle, I fill half of it with the pink glitter glue, and made the hanging heart in the middle. It's easy, just use the string.

I use the glue gun to put the bottle in the middle of the box. Because the bottle is made from the glass, and a paper glue will not help.

And for the box cover, I used the same color paper with the front box paper. The measurement is the same, but I add additional 2.5 cm in each side.

At the picture, the strip line means cut, and the rest just fold it. 

And after finish, I also decorated the cover.

It doesn't matter that it will not as good or as beautiful the other, especially when you do it for the first time.

It was difficult, but practice makes perfect, right. :)

Every Indonesian outside Indonesia have a duty to reporting them self at the nearest Indonesian embasy or Consulate General. Including me.

Why now?

Simple, because I just know that I should do it.

Actually, in Melbourne, the Indonesian Consulate General suggested to all Indonesian citizen who stay in Victoria at least a month, to report them self to to the Consulate General.

And I think, it would be a good thing to. Because reporting my self, means to give the consulate about where I am now, where do I live, and they could inform my family in Indonesia if something happened to me.

Even thought my boyfriend said it should be linked, because I applied my partner visa. But, who knows, and it's not hurt you if you reporting your self,right.

And, the Indonesian Consulate General in Melbourne is not taking any costs for this.

All I have to do just came to the Consulate General and bringing all the things they want like:

• copy of my passport
• copy of my Australian address
• copy of my VEVO
• fill the form that you could find at their website
• passport size photo

Once i gave them all the documents, they asked and kept my passport for a week. Means I came back to the same place next week after I applied my reporting form.

It wasn't took a long time for doing it. Especially, not much people came that day. Not until 15 minutes they already called my number. 

Indonesian Consulate General in Melbourne divided two different hours for their services. Morning hour usually for submitting and collecting.

If you want to get visa, or new passport, or doing something like me, usually in this morning hour.

And they had the afternoon hour. This hour usually for collecting the documents. Like taking back my passport.

It just took a week for me. First submitting my documents for my reporting at Friday, and I came back next week in Monday, so 6 working days only.

In their website it's all clear, what to do , and when to do it. So it is somehow easy, to know what kind of documnets I need to bring. And if somehow you couldn't bring it, they already provide everything inside their office. 

Well, after 6 days, I returned to Indonesian Consulate General in Melbourne to took my Passport. To take it, I had to gave them a receipt that they gave me when I collected my documents to them. 

And, the result is they gave a sticker with my Australian address there and also their stamp. So, basically it's official that I move to Melbourne. LOL.
