Moving on....

Today, things has been picking up, I had a good rest yesterday, but the whole day I was feeling down and moody. I was in bed the whole day, went out for grocery shopping at 4 pm, at the same time did window shopping to relax. I did not feel like cooking, had take away Hungry Jacks, just felt like burger and fries, maybe the reason I put on some weight. There is no reason to eat so much since my PMS has finish, I guess just the mood swings affecting my diet.

Finally, Billy and I shared to buy a new camera for personal use, after all the bad experiences with investing in useless cameras, we decided to research and as a result, we have IXY 1000 canon, with 10 mega pixels! It's so good, and I am very impress with it, and now I will not ever complain about how the pictures look, and now my pure focus will be on this camera. I will use it to the fullest, snapping pictures of everyone, everything and anything!

Tomorrow night, after work, there will be a Gucci staff gathering dinner at Red Emperor organized by me, but I don't feel like going. It sounds fun initially, and now after delaying the dinner for nearly a month, I am not so into it. The fact having to socialize with your colleagues after work, and seeing then nearly everyday just does not seem right. The fact that some colleagues are asking for so much, yet having to pay such a small amount for the dinner really annoys me! Lesson No 1, do not organize a staff event, the fact for having pressure and the chances of getting bad comments, will not make your day.

Today, I had a chance to meet the owner and founder of Kookai in Australia! I am very passionate about this brand, I love the styles and designs and most of all, I have been wearing this brand since uni! She is a lovely lady, very feminine and hence the design of her clothing, she also understands the right size for petite customers. I am one of them of course :) Anyway, my colleague who served her has introduce me, and she advised me to leave Gucci and work in an office environment, for she thinks I am worth more than what I am getting now. I honestly agree of course, the fact although I have been promoted, but my gross pay is not a lot, compare to my last pay I had. I thought I do need to stay for another year to gain sufficient experience, but then again, I don't see myself going anyway with this retail job.


I am now considering to give the Kookai owner a call, but I don't have the guts to do so, for I don't think it's right for me to get her contact number from the Gucci database. If I do not try, I will not stand a chance at all, but if I try, the worst is I might get an answer NO, but the best case would be, I can drop my resume in the Head Office and might stand a chance. This is so torturing, but sometimes I do believe in everything happens for a reason, maybe now is not the right time to have a new job, that is why chances do not come yet, but at the same time, everyone has to work towards what they want, and fight for chances?

Although a promotion is a first step, but at the same time am I rushing things here? Or I am fed up with retail and want to try something new? Or am I now trying hard enough to get what I want? Questions....with no answers
