Guess what!
I’m not officially working there anymore (read: Working at Restaurant Selecta). The CWI (Dutch authority in charge for working permit) did not allow me to work in Selecta since last month. The accountant of the restaurant said,
gisteren zijn wij gebeld door CWI, in verband met aanvraag tewerkstellingsvergunning Pakpahan.
Deze wordt niet verleend. Reden is dat Pakpahan geen student is.
Op zijn verblijfsdocument staat vermeld “arbeid in loondienst” .Dit slaat op zijn onderzoekswerk bij de universiteit.
blablabla… then…
Dus helaas, deze meneer kan geen werknemer worden van Selecta B.V.
Wat jammer!
Anyhoo, all is good. I was surprised that the timing was perfect when I really need some break to start writing. Then these last couple of weeks I was helping there again. I will not work there anymore since I don’t have a working permit and I don’t want to risk my chance of studying here just to get some extra euros. The good news is that my work permit for the Crossroads International Church was granted. So, I am now working every saturday and sunday at the church, with bigger rate per hour hahahaha…
These couple of weeks, I met new friends at Selecta: Okki, Ferry, and Oscar. I also met the ‘old timers’ such as Arief, Intan, Sally, Oppie, Mira, Ralph, Sylvi, Etta, and fulltimers such as Jessy, Jere, Leo, Salomon, and ofcourse Tante Roos.
Here are some new and old pictures of the ’slaves’ hahahaha… gonna miss them – i think [ *} wink wink
