Hey Friends,
Today is a lazy saturday morning. Woke up late enough to be happy about the amount of rest I receive. Weather is cooling and my hippo is still happily in bed. Happy.. Today shall be a happy day. Cheers! =)
I have been missing from the blog for really a long time, nearly a month. I haven't really been free in a manner which makes me feel like blogging. When I do want to pen some thoughts down, blogger.com fail on me.
My life is great. 1 month of my holidays had ended and I spent it away not doing anything substantial, except for resting, going home to spend time with family members, and meeting friends. I allocated 1 month for purely resting and doing some other personal administration stuff, I am glad that I adhere to my plan although I felt that I wasted too much time being unproductive towards the end of that one month. Pace was indeed slow and slack. Guess, it's a well deserved rest after so long. This is my first ever university break which I am not occupied with hall activities.
For some of you who have read about my dream in planning weddings, I am taking my baby steps towards realising my dreams. Prepared a resume and sent it out to a few wedding planning companies in Singapore. Thank God for His providence because most have responded and offered me interviews to meet them in person. It was certainly a great experience talking to the wedding planners. Those interviews/chats gave me gimpses of what wedding planning is like. It is certainly not as glamorous as the movie of a wedding planner depicts. Ha.
Currently, I thank God that a wedding planner offered me an internship and I am currently working with her. I am mostly designing and contributing ideas to make weddings interesting. I will be involved in a few weddings during this internship and I am gladly looking forward to it.
I am glad that I took the first step to move out of my area of study/expertise. Many people have asked my decision in choosing a different path and felt that my skills learnt in Architecture are largely wasted. I gladly replied that I have my dream to pursue and I am not afraid of trying. If not now, when? I won't like to continue with what I am majoring if I realise that I would definitely have more interests in other areas. My skills acquired are not wasted because they could be applied in many different areas of my life. Technical and Graphic skills would not have been nurtured if I did not study Architecture. If I were doing some other courses, I am very sure that I would have less opportunity to be working with graphics and extending my fine art heritage to the digital world.
This internship will give me first hand experiences of working as a wedding planner even though I am merely an assistant. It serves as an important pivotal point in my future career. What I will eventaully become is largely dependent on what I will be seeing during this internship. Friends, if you have dreams which are still dreams, take that one step of faith to try. At least, you have tried, if not dreams will always be dreams.
I thank God for blessing me with this internship. Thank dearest for supporting and encouraging me. Thank hippo for being just with me all the time. I have a new friend who always guards my dreams and sends me to bed, Bedtime Carebear! Happy to be in a lala land. It's my holiday! It' a HAPPY HOLIDAY! Cheers. =)
Faith
