2017, 旺桃花是吗?

到了2017年，面书上有很多那些说说你的2017的。不知到是巧合还是什么的，答案都蛮一致的。先是 

后来是

再来是

到了这，我家已经觉得好好笑。之后我又再玩就拿到这

我告诉自己这些已足以让我笑翻肚子了。真的没想到接下来的也是那样

所以面书上想告诉我2017我是旺桃花吗？哈哈

Always want a peaceful January.

The month of January is always the month that I am anticipating for. No other reason aside as it is my birth month. In younger days, I would expect how many people would be wishing me, how many gifts will I get and so on. As I get older, I just wish for one thing. I hope I can spend my birthday calmly and peacefully. I no longer need a lot of people around me to celebrate it with me. As long as I have sincere friends and family by my side, I am more than content. And I am always grateful to have those friends who never forget my birthday and take effort to take me out, to give me something on time for my birthday. 

I realized this when I get older. Old friends who know you well no longer try to ask you out on your exact birthday. They will do it in advance or at a later date. All because they know you may want to spend that day with someone very dear to you. I really am very grateful to have not only one, but a bunch of friends who are so caring.

I have forgotten since which year, my dearest friends started to have only one and same wish for my birthday. That wish is no other than me getting a boyfriend who love me sincerely. I stay single since my last relationship back in 2008, it is hitting the the 9th year in 2017. I have be single all the while for nine years. I know it sounds ridiculous but there are people out there who are still virgin in relationship for the entire life too. So I don't really think my condition is that of a big deal. While I do wish to once again experience the taste of dating, I am taking my step real slow. I have kind of getting used to be alone, I know this doesn't do good but habit is a habit, hard to change. But fear not my dear friends, I will give more effort to come out from the shell and started looking for the right guy.

This year not not only that my birthday fell on a weekday, but that I need to go for event. It was a really long day for me, the 11th, 12th and 13th. I experienced what I wish to avoid facing during my birthday. On the 11th, I had a very long day dealing with artwork for clients, on the 12th a very long working hours and drenched in sweat and I become so smelly on my birthday, and on 13th client throwing tantrum at me for thing that partly not my fault (but I have to take responsibility too since I am the person in charged).

It is just some mishap that always happen in life and I shall not mind too much of it. I just wish for the work to end smoothly and everything to come peacefully till end of Chinese New Year. I will and always hope for a peace and calm January.

Last but not least, I still wanna wish myself a Happy Birthday! 

Moonlight is the new Love!

After the end of Descendants of the Sun, there come Love in the Moonlight (or can also be known as Moonlight Drawn by Clouds). Park Bo Gum fever is here to continue the Song Joong Ki fever. Of course, both are equally heart capturing.

The first drama that I watched Park Bo Gum was Nodame Cantabille. I knew he is such a sweetheart from then. Back to moonlight, watching the drama is such a pleasant to my eyes. Pretty boys and lovely girls, lovely dovey moments, heart-melting eyes, and everything good. Words aren't enough to describe. B1A4's Jinyoung is there too. How sweet!

Look at those eyes!!!

You crave your own path, be proud of it

For many, those around my age are now already holding a senior position or even managers, being having years of experience in the field they stepped on upon graduating. It has been 4 years since I last finish my degree course. And I am still holding a junior position. To be honest, I do sometimes doubt on my choices on my career path.

Once I graduated, I put myself in a casting agency doing all the casting jobs for television commercials. Then, I found myself in an media/advertising agency which amused me in many ways. Later on, I made a total change and put myself in a beauty/ retail line that makes me shiver every single working day, not knowing what kind of people I will interact with. And now I am in a totally new field, working in a exhibition contractor company, dealing with building up and ordering furniture.

While I am being a bit jealous and admire how people have years of working experience, I found out that people are actually also envy of my diverse experiences throughout my career path. Thinking on this, I am grateful that I have been able to experience things that only I can experience it. I am even more grateful that my family gave me the freedom to do what I wanted to do and full support both emotionally and financially on my choices.

I will no longer think on whether it is right or wrong on my decisions. Everyone is unique on their own. Even if you follow their path, it wouldn't be totally right for you. Everyone has their own dreams and you yourself crave the path for it. I will now only focus on not to regret whatever decisions that I have made. Letting the past be a part of my precious memories and move on to make sure that I will smile when I look back at my journey. 

Assumption or Expectation? I see no difference and it kills

Two years ago, I have decided to quit my career as a media planner, or even so to quit the media line. It took me for more than 6 months to finally come with this decision. It wasn't an easy one because each step you take play a little to your future journey. While I am still young and have little to no commitment now, I have decided to pursue something which I wanted to do since I was 16.

The reason behind making a drastic change is definitely to fulfill one of my dreams and I take it as a stepping stone for me to work at my dream country. I have finally be able to put my words into action and I finally took up an esthetician course. I clearly remembered that the tutor asked the reason of me taking the course, where do I want to work upon finishing the course. While it wasn't in a short term plan, I did say I wanted to go Korea.

I have given it a very careful thought. The chance for me to be able to work at Korea as a media planner is really really small. That's is why I have decided to quit my job and get a certificate in beauty therapy. At least, I got a skill and it shall help me in getting into Korean company.

Now, I have come to realize that people do take words seriously and it is way beyond my understanding. I am not sure whether they think too lightly on career pathways or maybe I am the one who knows nothing. The people from my beauty academy are thinking that I am going to Korea soon to be a beauty therapist. I am not sure what makes them keep thinking that I am going oversea soon.

Everytime when I was back to the academy or I texted them, they will surely ask me when am I going Korea or whether I have already gone oversea. I wonder what makes them think it is that easy to go oversea. Do they really think it is that easy to get a job with just a beauty cert? Even though I have mentioned that I wanted to work at Korea, it doesn't mean I will go right away upon completion my beauty course.

I wanted to work in a company here in Malaysia that provides me opportunity to go Korea, not just me blindly go there looking for a job. While I have little commitment, it doesn't mean I have no commitment at all. What I said at that time doesn't mean it is still applicable now. Yes, I do still wanna work at Korea, but the career path can change accordingly. Please don't just simply put assumption on people.
