Level 3 of Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT - 3Kyuu)
A call... last Sunday night when I got a phone call from a friend (Indonesian) I met in
JLPT test site in Tokyo. He called to announce that the result of the JLPT is out already.
He passed the exam and asked me this way "Joel san wa dou, goukaku shita?" ("So how about you?
Did you passed?")... In silence I am not able to answer for a while... I wanted to answer
yes... but... I answered no... He then asked "Doushite?" ("Why?")... I took a deep breath
and aswered "Coz the result hasn't arrived yet...! " :P
My mailing address was in Tokyo and as I am working right now in Kyoto I didn't have any idea what my score or if I passed... But deep inside of me God has assured me that I passed... So this morning while checking my mails, unsurprisingly I got this email from my Boss written this way:
You passed the exam with 331/400 points. Congratulations! -- Yusuke
What!? I did not even have the opportunity to open the result myself... having those chills and
thrills of excitement... :D
Oh well, can't help it... So what I did is hold my breath for a
while... and close my eyes uttering this words:
Thanks God for letting me pass this test, for assuring me that I'll have this. Amen.
Painted with happy face, I worked all day filled with energy. After work I called KUMON (Japanese Language Class Course) that I am ready to take the next step toward Level 2 (2-Kyuu)... I am ready to take the business level challenge the Japanese way!
