My 11th year of employment

11 is purely a coincidental number. Business has been pretty slow after CNY and I have quite a bit of time to do some thinking lately. 2016 was a massive year for me. I have worked for 10 years then and decided to take a leap of faith to pursue my dreams. 10 months on, I have a clearer idea what I want and I'm still positive things will work out eventually. To be honest, I do miss the corporate world. I miss the interaction, the brain storming sessions, the campaigns that we pulled off, be it as a team or almost quite independently; the perks - leaves, bonuses, etc; even the so-called stability since I didn't have to worry how many pieces of clothing I'd sell today. Or not. I guess above all, I miss my social life, however boring it has been. I miss feeling I can do more than this. Taking a walk down memory lane, here are the achievements that I'm personally very proud of: 1) First job with the publishing firm - Secured my first partnership with a shoe brand...

A Sad Reminder

This week has been a little rough. I've been having weird dreams/nightmare and haven't been sleeping well. In one of my dreams, I was lying on my pop's lap talking to her. I couldn't see her but I knew it was she. I think I promised her something, like bringing her somewhere. And then I suddenly realised she's not around anymore. The dream ended and my heart ached a little, even in the dream. Missing her hurts. But reminding yourself she is not here anymore each time you think of her, hurts even more. I really hope you are well now. Because at least the pain is worth it.
