Short post-university update

As stated in the above title of this post, I would like to catch up and review my days since the day I graduated from university on May of 2017. It's been almost a year and my head's still trying to figure out how quickly time goes by, it was as if I was hanging around the nearby burjo joint in Jl. Pandega Mandala getting a late-night nasi orakarik in one day, and here I am coping with work and responsibilities, and writing blog posts in Bumi Serpong Damai the next.

A little insight on my life right now dates back to a couple of days after my thesis presentation, when I decided to intern at a car workshop to acquire mad skillz working on cars, which I did not get much from my years at the university, so I began searching and contacting a few well known car workshops in Jakarta, and none of them even responded to my messages. That is, much to my surprise, until a particular private classic car restoration workshop welcomed my inquiries and request for an apprenticeship. It's funny how all the mediocre workshops did not want apprentices, but a high-end one would gladly accept one, though I still consider myself very lucky and had asked at the right time.

I would love to write about the details of my experience in the workshop for the past couple months, but I guess that's a story for another time.
