A little bit of company makes a big difference
Lisa was feeling under the weather today. So much so that she wasn't able to make it to work. While it sucked that she was feeling lousy, it was great to have her company!
Things done:
- Breakfast at home with Lisa... one of the simple pleasures of my life!
- Interview with SaladStop! for a part-time position. This went in a direction I totally did not expect! The President (Adrien Desbaillets) met with me. After seeing my CV he figured that there might be more to my application and decided to have a chat with me. Turns out that SaladStop! is looking to expand their operations within Singapore and regionally as well. So, he talked to me about potentially being more than just a part-timer with them. We agreed that I would first work part-time and then talk about what I may be able to do with them in the future.
The whole experience blew my mind!
I told him that I would be happy to take him up on his offer to try things out and see if I'm keen to make a career in SaladStop! And I totally am! It sounds like great experience in running an F&B business and also identifying and expanding to new markets.
But I won't get ahead of myself... I'll try working part-time with them first and see how it goes.
- Dinner with Kev and Jess at Woodlands. Always great to see Singapore's most awesome couple. If we believe Florence aunty, Eva is set to enter the world anytime soon! Can't wait.
Sadly, we spent quite a bit of time talking about the problems the two of them are having with mom and dad. The lack of frank and direct communication really seems to be hurting the relationship.
Lessons Learnt:
Today was another positive experience reassuring me that if I have the right attitude, things will happen.
Work hard, stay true to yourself and remain open to everything that life has to offer! These 1.5 months have shown me that fear of the unknown (previously disguised as logical thinking) does nothing positive and just traps people where they may not want to be.
Quote from Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar, by Cheryl Strayed:
"You don't have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don't have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don't have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don't have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts.
You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth. But that's all."
Beautiful!
