Work officially started on the past wednesday. I was both looking forward & nervous at the same time. But i guess the first day went off all well for me. Thankful for the blessings to get me through th day well.
#OOTD: Fully decked in OhVola for the 1st day of th new journey!
& received my bag frm Bricks & Bolsas! Hee.
So glad I was decked in work pants for the first day to do a rain check on the coldness in the office. And yes, the work pants came in handy in protecting me frm th colddd :)
Gym after work, had a great time @ Floating with Fabi. Guess it somehow made me feel fresher and the tiredness were all worked out!
The team had a welcome lunch for me on thursday during lunchtime! Initially we had wanted to go for Thai Food however the weather permits us so we ended up heading to Vivo City for Black Society.
We had a wide spread of dimsum for lunch! But it was tad too heavy fo a lunch :/ felt super sleepy midway during work!
The colleagues were mentioning how lucky I am to be able to have really good foods for first 2 days of work. Apparently lunch on the first day of work was at Tung Lok with clients :/
Finally friday came! Now I know why people looked forward to friday that much!
#OOTD
Followed by gym after work again, went for Hatha Yoga and a good run on the treadmill.
#gymoutfit!
Headed to pick up containers for CNY goodies for #rachbake & remaining ingredients.
Had to on-call a cab bck home as the loots were heavy and the taxi quene was maddd
Worked like a mad cow on both Saturday and Sunday. Finally completed ALL orders for #rachbake CNY 2013! Am so so so thankful to th mom for all the help rendered to clean,wash and prep th baking ingredients tgt with me. & the sister for printing all the logos and packaging ideas offered! Am done with 30bottles of CNY goodies! The pineapple tarts taste mad awesome. Hv saved some for the coming friday to bake for the family & a few friends of mine.!
YUMMY PINEAPPLE TARTS TO DIE FOR! #rachbake
" A tiny oven, 2 pairs of hands & 48hrs of bake"- The end product
Look @ how pretty and nicely packed they are! Just left with the labels & packing them into paper bags and sending them to the customers tomorrow! :*)
Few lessons learnt from #rachbake CNY 2013 this time round
- ensure ALL ingredients are bought & sufficient before the bake starts
- ensure all labels & pp bags are bought
- prep ALL ingredients specifically the night before the bake to facilitate the baking
- ensure cookies are big enough to fill the containers ( the double choco was abit too small fo th containers :/)
Told myself to do better for the next upcoming bake. Thinking of doing small double choco cookies fo V.day'13. Shall need to work on new bakes for V.day'13.

Thankful that I completed all by Sunday morning. Had a good hair mask & facial jus now followed by a power nap of 10mins. Th baking has def taken a toil on my health & I knw I need to badly get them back.
Shall intake more vitamins, water & sleep.
Been working on a strict "Pre-CNY Clean Eating" regime compel with a regular workout plan of thrice a week. Im glad it has been kept on track and I look forward to 2days of feasting! HEHE. Quite thankful that my PT at th gym is a really friendly gym to work & converse with. He ensures I get the right workout done, food intake and also motivates me to work harder.
This CNY couldnt have been better. Though I am really tied down witrh work & #rachbake but I made it all possible! Just need to focus fully on work this febuary and learnt as much from the boss. Giving myself a target of March to get on track with work. And then thats when I'll be busy with the sister's wedding prep again.
Going into the 2nd month of 2013, it had been busy yet really fulfilling and achieving well in all aspects of life, im thankful to everyone who aid, encourage and offer me advice along th way. I will do better!
I realized I too hv changed, being more positive in my life, putting good faith in what I do and just being very independent. Think I've grown stronger mentally.
Love,
Rach
