1. Going to UK for assessment centre
Too bad, I just got news from JPM that I won't be eligible for Work Permit in UK. I did check the embassy website and it said the same thing too. Basically I need 70 points and I only have around 60 points. The point-based system was quite new, not even 5 months old, but it's ok. This means I am not going to be able to intern in UK this summer. However, the good thing is they said that I can get the work permit if I want for the graduate programme, and I will get priority access for the graduate assessment this October. Nevertheless, I still have tuition grant in Singapore, so I guess I have to skip on that one.
Don't worry, I'm not sad nor upset because of this. I believe God has a better plan than mine.
2. My life this summer??
Too bad that one of my goals this year is not going to happen. I will still try applying for internship in European mainland this summer to gain international exposure, but i am not really hoping for that.
I don't know why but I really want to go home (Indonesia) this summer (maybe more of my phase of adaptation here, but i feel it's a bit different), I don't care if I will get only 10% of what I got in Singapore. It's just feeling peaceful to me that I have a place called home in Tebet, Jakarta, which is replaceable neither by my condominium-like appartment in Singapore, nor my room in glamorous-and-glorious city of Paris (a bit outside of Paris actually, haha). At least I know that I don't have to cut expenses on anything and I can enjoy life in its fullest sense in Jakarta, hehe.
However, let God guides me. Everything will be beautiful in HIS time, not mine. I am waiting eagerly for that.
3. Holiday in France
My next couple of posts will be about retelling my 2 holidays for my already-7-weeks-without-noticing-it term in HEC Paris (it's just keep making me smile to really experience how Paris HEC Paris is, hahaha, in a bad way often times). I have not been outside of France due to budget and opportunity constraints but I will be at the end of May.
So guys, just wait until my next posts are ready to be published.
For a teaser
Holiday I
(3 days 3 nights) - Caen, Mont St. Michel, St. Malo, Bayeux, D-Day landing beaches, Rouen, Amiens, Lille, Robeaux
Holiday II
(3 days 4 nights) - Nice, Monaco, Cannes, Marseille, Carcassonne, Toulouse
Meanwhile, I need to do my obligation first.
Until then, GBU.
