Moodboard: Sweet Tiffany

One of my latest Creation- My Director came up with this colour theme and I materialised it with this moodboard. I love how different this is as compared to all the combinations previously done with white or black ...

Reflection...

It was a great day... I love Waking up having no where to rush to ... Being able to Laze around... Watching reruns on TV, baby sitting my adorable nephew, witnessing nephew shaun's 1st hair cut, to church being in God's presence and listening to His word. It Ending off with a awesome BBQ dinner at Cal's home. Did I mention that my brother in law has the same birthday as I? Cool isn't it!

Reflecting on the past year...
I'm a perfectionist, that means I'm incredibly hard on myself in everything I do, often the thoughts "I shouldn't
Or should Have done that!" pop into my head... Sometimes I even think that maybe I should just behave in a certain way... And people around me will be happier with me. Today, I got a revelation- If Daddy God loves me just the way I am, what right do I have not to? I am so blessed to have the friends and family that I have. We've seen each other through the good, the bad and the downright ugly, and still accept me as I am.

To my group of girlfriends... You know who you are. Thank you for being there for me through the years, I love you.

To my hubby who is always kind whenever I'm being difficult, I love you.

To my family... Thank you for your unconditional love for me.

Lastly, Thank you Daddy God for loving me just as I am.

Feeling: Thankful & loved.

It's a whirlwind

So many things have happened in the last two months...
A new baby (I meant my nephew). A new career.

It's getting really busy at work. And my mind (believe it or not) is not used to it. Hubby says: if this was 3 months ago- I wouldn't even call this busy, it's true. I'm used to be so busy I have no time to eat and would have to work at least 12 hours a day. I'm glad I'm not at that place anymore. But I really miss my ex colleagues- except for all the trouble stirers- that was one of the best families I've belonged to.

In this new family, I have a great mentor, and 3 younger sisters- even though I feel like a mummy most of the time. :p I do love weddings a lot. It's a lot of resposibility on our shoulders.
I like what Hannah says all the time.

"I don't want a to hold a debrief of wrong things after this. For the couple, there is only 1 wedding, so it needs to be as seamless to them as possible."

It's a LOT isn't it.

From planning to set up to tear down- we witness every detail. Many things can and have gone wrong. But everytime, we seem to be able to be able to overcome it. Days after, we look back and laugh about it.

I love my job.

Late thank you note

Dear Daddy,

It's been 1 and half months since I had intended to write this thank you note. Ah sweet procrastination :P

2. For Mcdonald's that has 24 hour service! A place to rest our heavy jet-lagged head at 6 in the morning.

3. For a hotel that is just 3 blocks away from The Dominion Theathre- where Hillsong's London service was held! And for the free flow coffee that the kind folks gave us to keep us awake.

4. For letting us meet a friend from home- Belinda! She brought us to do tourist-y things and eat good food!
5. For this a King Deluxe suite in this Swanky boutique Hotel just off Oxford st (where ALL the shopping is!) most importantly- at a affordable price.

6. For placing Amy in London to bring us out for dinner- most importantly... got us the discount and upgrade at the hotel

Your daughter & Son

Jas & Ed

1 month and a week

It's been 1 month and a week exactly since I've been here.
Everyone that hears about my job all have 1 common reaction "SO FUN! Jas! Any openings for me?"
Actually, not everyday is fun, in fact, I go home almost everyday feeling defeated and deflated.
You see- I am a perfectionist. If things don't go exactly as I have played it in my mind- then I have failed.
But I'm learning to cut myself some slack single everyday. Afterall, who am I to judge if I am perfect or not?

I've met some very interesting people. By far- the most interesting one- is my boss.
She has one of the most creative minds I've ever known anyone to have. She can sit down and in 15 min draw out 3 different sketches of gorgeous flower arrangements!

She also likes the office to be extremely quiet. That way she can be creative and not be distracted. You will probably only hear mouse clicks if there are no phone calls.
(I'm still learning to keep quiet. I am- by nature a very noisy person, I talk to myself, Hum melodys, whistle when I work- that helps Me.

Ah... the teething issues of a new relationship. I remember in my previous job- I had to get use to a boss that shouts. I think this is much easier to adjust to. I'll just bite my lip.

Let me end off on a happier note- My happiest moment thus far...
It was time for My bride to do her gown shopping. She asked me- "Jas, How do you know which gown is for you?" I replied- "You will know!"
2 bridal boutiques, and about 10 gowns later, she still had didn't know.
Finally, at the 3 boutique, number 12, the moment she put it on, her face litted up gloriously and knew that was her gown. She looked gorgeous and blissful.

Why are we who we are?

Have you ever wonder- "Why some of us are born go-getters and some just laid back?"
Why some of us want something, goes out and ensures that we get it, some just wait for things to be served on a platter?

I cannot figure it out.

Why do opposites attract? Beats me.
But I know- if something don't change, I go mad.

I'm feeling- weary

It's the end of an era

Goodbye Micheal.

I'm almost there

After 4 years of toiling in agencies... I've start questioning myself "what do I really want to do in life?" I'm extremely thankful to the 2 agencies that have "brought me up"- in the professional ways...

So recently... I've been researching, and took a step towards exploring a new career. There were many options that came by- A home bakery? A Shoe shop? every other month was a different option, a different dream. With some much needed encouragement, I decided to send off my resume- I don't know how much help that did, because I had no experience at all in that field! Almost immediately, I got a call back! Hubby and I trusted God to close the doors if they are no good for me, and open those that are. And He did.

I had expected a tremendous pay cut, and a huge sacrifice in my personal life; But I'm willing to jump straight in and do my best.

Very soon... this will be me....

It's All you, Daddy God! =)
