“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude.”

Short post to end off June. 

Time flies, first half of 2013 is almost over in a few hrs time. & welcoming July in a whole new perspective and the challenges that will bring about in the journey. 

First half of 2013 was busy; work, #rachbake, gym, family and friends.

But nonetheless I learnt and gained alot of new insights during this first half. What seemed the most impossible thing would be #rachbake slowly catching its network to reach out to more people. In fact, July's 1 order, Aug another and then next year January will be another candy bar. Hadn't been easy getting through the peak period (CNY) and massive huge orders. Working 10hrs a day to complete as much cause I hv limited space and capacity that I can churn out. But for every order that came by, I am thankful. Not only did I complete them,they also allow me to learn to do better and better, from the taste, packaging, decor, efficiency and planning. I am now working alot better than I first started off. So more work to come along the way till I make it to my own shop space one day!

Work had been challenging. From someone who knows nothing to now handling just as much and even though it hadn't been smooth but I am embracing all the roadblocks and working really hard to prove myself that I am able to do it. But I guess, I may head over to somewhere next year. I would like to try out more fields of work so I know exactly which is what I really want best for myself. No one likes working but if we could hv passion in what we do, I guess we wouldn't see a day of dragging our feet to work. So I am using 2years to work hard to find out what exactly I'd like to do in the future and save up enough to make it to my own shop.

But somehow the change in lifestyle allowed me to better learn new things. As such would be better financial planning; lesser shopping, more lunchbox, more time on self and gym: trying to hit the gym as frequent and training up 1.5mths to my 10KM in August. I spend alot of time on my own cause through this 1yr I would like to knw myself more. What exactly I would wanna do when I am 24th, my achievements I wish t make, th things I would wanna do; travelling alone. The list goes on but I knw rushing through wouldn't get u there but slow and steady.

Few goals for July:

1. Better at work, lesser mistakes and grapping the ropes better

2. Being more responsible for self, family and friends. 

3. Worked really hard and do well for the order on 31st July. 

4. Physically: getting to the prominent abs!

5. Getting more rest along the way

6. Save more money! $5 a day at least

Love,
