| Jobs |

I've held many jobs before, but only three main jobs are recorded on my current CV.

thing about jobs is you somehow have a hunch on the first day whether you'd last there - those you know were meant to last, and those you know were never meant to be.

and this is one such job - my fourth official job in a big company that is paying me well (at the market rate of a graduate..well at least that's what I choose to believe) but there's something about my first day today that made me regret my decision to leave my previous employment.

I didn't fit in. try as hard as I could but somehow I felt awkward with these girls. they were all of managerial positions, some my age and others older. I don't think it's because of my inferior complex that made me feel left out, it's something else that I can't quite put my finger on it.

maybe I just miss my ex-boss and my all-so-familiar environment that this new place with new people are too foreign.

Jesus, I need strength.

| Emo |

my current location is in Hongkong and im penning this entry via my iPhone in my friend's place.

it's our last night and I'm feeling super emo :(

the weather had been great and I'm sitting on the bed enjoying the 20 degree cool sea breeze blow in my face; her house is just at the harbor.

we've thoroughly enjoyed our time here, with both her and her husband's hospitality - it was amazing how easy-going this couple is! I'm truly thankful for their friendship and their generosity in extending their house to us to stay during this period. no amount of words can express our gratitude except we would love to return and spend time with them both again! :)

the places they brought us to and the food we ate made us feel as though we've never been to Hongkong even though it's our third or fourth time here (pun intended haha!).

*sigh

when I first booked the air ticket here, it was meant to be an escape route from reality - one that I know would be hard to get over as closing another and starting a new chapter in life was never easy.

Friday came and went and it was my last day at work. and just like that, my time with them came to an end. it was hard not to shed tears; after all my now ex-boss and I did go through pretty much. i thought he was extremely strict with me but that was only because he wanted me to learn and grow with him as well as the company. it's my bad for throwing in the white towel so soon...and if this new job offer never came, I would never leave. though you read about me complaining a few entries about him and work, it really was just a rant-and-release kinda thing that everyone would go through at some point in their lives. I just hope the decision that I made would be in line with my Father's plans.

goodnight world, let me enjoy my last night in Hongkong.

| Quick Update |

March was a month of many happenings yet i did not manage to pen them down one by one. BUSY is the excuse you make in a society like ours. so i've decided to do it in point form before all that happened fades away like a blurry:

- we now own our domain! pls log on to www.sevendresses.sg or http://sevendresses.sg for pretty and affordable dresses!

- also along the lines of Seven Dresses, we have converted one room to be our home studio. God provided and made the whole transition rather smooth; the only thing left is to buy an air cooler (because the white background is directly over the windows!) plus the studio lightings. am hoping we could get cheap yet good second-hand lights.

- tendered my resignation on 11 March; the day the huge earthquake and tsunami took place in Japan. my last working day is in 2 days' time. was a major struggle before i made the decision and it was a painful one.

- we've confirmed a hotel for our banquet. paid the deposit though we have yet to sign the contract. both side of parents loved it!

- met up with Pastor Daphne and she's given the green light for us to go right ahead to confirm our church wedding on 12 May 2012! praise the Lord!

- experienced our very first car boot sale though its for our other blogshop Missy Hand me Down instead. turnout was bad BUT we managed to clear off some stuff so praise God for that too!

these were some of the bigger milestones hence im making the extra effort to pen them down. everything is going well at the moment except for our self-manufactured designs for Seven Dresses. extremely disappointment with one supplier who is still holding onto the sample piece of my 2nd design plus my Seven Dresses' labels because her factory misplaced both MY items!

as such, we have asked another supplier to manufacture a 3rd (and different) design for us. this one seems strange too. was suppose to meet her a week ago but she had the appointment changed to today but she called to say she's leaving her shop because "there's nobody" today.

?!

im really praying that she would not display the same attitude as the first supplier (for our 2nd design) or i would really give up manufacturing my own designs for good!

anyway, its all for the glory of God. burn for Him.
