When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
My dad walked over to me just a couple of days ago, after I "announced" that I was unofficially done with school, and asked me about my plans for the future.
Am I planning to do TTR full time?
Or find a full time job and do TTR as a part time thing?
So then I told him that I plan to do TTR full time, no surprises there.
He wasn't really against it or anything, but he felt that I should find a full time job after 1-2 years if TTR doesn't hold up.
Like... Have a back up plan and at the same time don't waste my degree.
I guess he's just worried and he feels that me and Sissy don't need to work so hard since eventually we will be getting married and have kids... blah blah.
Y'know, the traditional thinking that parents always have?
And by then we won't be able to continue running TTR like we are now.
So I told him, "Daddy, when I get married I plan to be a tai tai already, can sell off TTR. HAHAHA."
JOKINGLY LA.
But to a certain extent, I do agree with him...
If I land myself a 9-5 job, I would probably have a more carefree life and not be burdened by work during my time off.
Some times I find myself wishing for some time off which is uninterrupted by work.
But it's really not possible if I'm running my own business.
I will constantly be thinking of how I can do things better, what are the things which need fine-tuning/improving, how to push my business to the next level.
And of course, there is the more important question of sustainability...
How long can I do this business for?
But being young (HAHAHA) and impulsive (to a certain extent), I decided on doing TTR full time for now.
And see where it brings me.
Reasons being,
1) I don't think I will be able to conform to the routine of a 9-5 job..
It sounds rather suffocating to me.
And all the office politics I'd rather not think about.
2) I'm so much happier running TTR.
Even though it can get pretty stressful and hair-tearing at times, at least I feel like I'm in control of what I'm doing.
And I get to wear pretty clothes, HEHE.
3) I love the people I'm working with.
So...
You'll probably be seeing more of me (AND TTR LAUNCHES) from now on!
FULL FORCE AHEADDDDDDD!
I'm really supposed to be invoicing right now given that we've just launched a new collection, but silly me left 2 designs back at my supplier's!
:(
And they didn't open for today...
So we can only start invoicing tomorrow morning!
Will dash down to do a stock count and invoice immediately after that hokays!
Omg....
THIS IS SUCH A WORDY POST.
I hope you made it through without dozing off!
I'm off to confront the MANYMANYMANYMANYYYYYY questions staring at me in my formspring inbox now!
