Candy Floss Dreamz

This year, im not crazy over bags anymore! Instead, i've been drooling at these beauty...

Balenciaga leather biker jacket...so so gorgeous but costing as much as a giant part-time ( i need to decide between the 2)

and Alexander McQueen silk scarf. It feels so soft and smooth, im gonna get me one!

To me, it doesn't feel like work at all. In fact, it feels more like a learning journey, a continuation of the theory i've learnt in school applied into real life, helping real people and feeling a sense of real fulfillment and meaningfulness.

Not to mention my colleagues, who are ever so willing to teach, to guide and support me with such patience and sincerity. And my team leader, he's just so understanding and flexible, it's truly so pleasant working under him. The chief of department, though erratic and unpredictable, offers great wisdom and insight. Everyday, i feel like there's just so much so much more i could learn from them.

There's really no office politics and everyone works in a team. They are so approachable, so easy to talk to, and they all share my love for food (wait till you see the mountains of food on our office table). I feel belonged naturally.

I was really touched on my birthday. They got me a PINK cake, and few of my colleagues bought me pretty PINK stationery and cup to decorate my PINK cubicle. Team leader was on leave in the morning, but he specially popped by with his adorable kids, just to sing the birthday song. The chief even wrote me a card personally. With such wonderful colleagues, what more can i say?

I really really love my job. It's really a good place to kick-start my career and passion in Psychology, and i know such opportunities only come once and it is up to me to make the most out of it :)

all dressed up for his very special (and expensive) treat!

presenting my favorite dish of the night (and i never knew egg can ever taste so good!)

my second favorite. the kobe rib totally melts in the mouth, yumyummmsupposed to crack open the golf ball and mix it up to eat together

something special for the birthday boylone kalamansi marshmallow. the greedy bf ate his share before i had a chance to take a picture.

However, i love the working hours (OT is rare which means i still have time to pursue dance!), my colleagues are really nice, supportive and helpful, and there's lots of nice food around my workplace in outram (not sure if it's a good thing, as this means that im gonna put on weight). Furthermore, the nature of my work allows me to move around so i don't have to sit in the office all day long :) Oh, and the pay and benefits are pretty reasonable too!

Most importantly, this job offers me the experience, exposure and training, and equip me with the necessary skills to work with patients. It also provides an excellent stepping stone for me in my further pursuit of clinical psychology.

It is really not easy for honors students to get a job as a psychologist in the mental health field, and I feel truly blessed to be offered this rare opportunity. I must treasure this chance and do my very best. Not everyone is able to pursue their dream due to practical concerns and i know i am very fortunate to be able to get a job that i am passionate about. It's not very high paying, but it allows me to earn enough for a comfortable living. To me, the pay is not important. What's most important is the work experience - whether it's enjoyable, fulfilling and provides a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, and the work environment. And of course, i must love what i'm doing. This job is really everything that i wanted and everyday when i turn up for work, i feel very happy and i thank my lucky stars for being so kind to me.

Life is really good now :)
