Chapter 2 - when you least expected...

on the 5 nov 2015 I just finish my last paper in my bachelor in marketing ( I am 26 btw) and was looking for full time jobs ... after was rejected by 3 big brands applying for sales associate I felt a bit down but not yet defeated......


one agent ( a very nice lady) told me I feel that I will suit the position ...so she send my resume to the client (no expectation) and by my surprise after 2 round of interview. I was given the position ! I think being a new graduates you have to be in the worst position ever .....a company is looking for someone who need experience and yet when you go back to service industry with a bachelor degree you are over qualified...anyway that was the first company who decided to hire me and is gonna be in my disadvantage as I have no prior knowledge  or education about fashion... I need to learn fast and proof to myself and them. I am the type of person who you like challenges and proof to you I Will do excellent .... my perfectionist character and competitive soul as an aries 


 I guess this is what I will always remember for life 

'you have no experience , but I See potential in you. you just required a bit of polishing...you are outspoken and yet soft spoken and I Could see you have sense of style and you present yourself well....the image suites our company....this is what i can offer....just remember there will be people who will hate you and even ask why they hire this boy....get along with everyone and they will help you next time ....i don't know how but that is your problem to fix...and just remember I won't hesitate to fire you anytime if the sales figure is low as much  " My lady boss


sounds like DEVIL WEARS PRADA scene ...yup that is what I experience ....

my lady boss may sound fierce to you but in my eyes she is actually a strong  and no nonsense type of woman . she was direct and yet she told me a few tips during the interview which only shows she kinda cares and wanted to groom me.....I was kinda happy that someone finally wanted to invest on me and believe that i will do great.....I know I can .....

I Decided to go with her  and the company because at the end of the day I feel this position that i never heard of in my countries and never advertised .....was recommended and least expected become something ..... Life can be funny at time .....dont plan and just follow your heart.... I will share more about my job in future once i sign my contract ..... practically my job duties is be a stylist....be good in sellling any product from furniture to even kitchen ware or even bed....candles....I need to do PR...Events and i Can do fashion shoot ....the list just goes on....practically I am jack of all trades and whetever the clients want i need to be able to achieved and give them advice.


at the end of interview...i nod my head....and shake her hand firmly

" I hope I didn't offend or scares you in any way ....I hope you will think about this position"
as she hold her balenciaga clutch bag and walk away from me....


I whisper to myself with disbelief .....' I get the job......" and  smiles

My aspiration

what is your aspiration? Most people do not know what is their aspiration in life. some may want to be rich and not worry  some wanted to be famous... every person I believe has something deep in their heart but certain factor made us harder or never to pursue it  in the end, we live in the stigma of the repatative 9-5 job, surviving to pay the bills and a cycle of never-ending work that will never end. for what purpose? work never ends but our time is....   and we ask our self..... is this aspiration was based on what your parents, lover or the society around you want.... are you living your life for yourself or for others... just remember you have only one chance ..... do make it worth...  so now let me ask you the question again....  but allow me to to restructure the question....  if money was not an issue what would your true aspiration be?

I still thinks about him every day. I tried dating but you still running on my mind Trying to forget someone who lived a tiny piece of your heart is much challenging  then I thought . I wishes you nothing but the best and the most happiness life can offer. You allowed yourself to push me aside because it was the best for us . The future is unknown as we can only learn from past and enjoy the presence. I didn’t want things to end, but he knew he had to. You chose safety and what best for me . Was it a mistake? when we met the first time Was our decision Was more of burden and wrong timing But we both are two adult and I don't believe we make a mistake  We knew and we both took a leap , risked everything  and  all I  knew you were worth fighting for. But as the goes by You realise you wanted me to grow and love life, . And not wasted my life waiting for you ... But I believe that if two person was meant for each other One day,  it will happen ... but what I can de
