Quote of the Day
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. – David Viscott
This year has been a year full of weddings,
- Bin’s ROM – simple and nice event, full of family and friends
- Anna’s Wedding – held at Shangrila, quite different from those that I’ve attended, there’s even a lucky draw where the 1st prize receive diamonds. Awesome right!?
- Celeste’s ROM – wasn’t invited since it’s a very private event only family members were went. Heard that it’s a really nice one. Anyway this is Celeste, shouldn’t expect anything less, her’s should be perfect. =D Shall wait for her wedding dinner next year.
- Elaine’s Wedding – still in the midst of planning, I’m sort of helping her but nothing major since she has gotten most of the things done. Didn’t realise that planning can be a nightmare especially when the vendors aren’t customer service oriented. Invitation list is another headache.
All these weddings has gotten me really excited, my dream of being a wedding planner is being rekindled once again. Before graduation and shortly after I’ve been looking for jobs as wedding planner or coordinator but I couldn’t find any. I guess it’s the economic crisis. Or am I not doing enough to search for jobs in this industry?
Recently I saw that there’s a course for Wedding Planning, is it really necessary? Isn’t it more of learning on the job instead of studying?
I’m someone who cannot be desk bound, I like moving around and meeting people and hence I believe this would be a perfect job especially when I always think about being able to deliver a perfect wedding for others. Despite the hard work and possibly irregular hours, with the end picture in mind, I would be motivated to deliver.
Well with my future still uncertain since my current job is just a contract with no intention of converting me to permanent staff, I’m worried. I’m learning a lot right now, managing a project to develop a web tool for my company, liasing with the vendor and the internal users (within my company). It’s really good exposure since I get to work with senior level colleagues within the region, however what will happen after the contract ends at January?
I really like my company and my colleagues but because I’m a fresh grad, it is not possible for me to get a permanent job in this (regional) office which I’m currently working at. I would have to start at the country office, the only obstacle is the travelling time and distant, currently I take about 1.5 hours to travel to work, the country office is even further, I guess it would definitely take more than the current time. Hence, I’ve been looking around for marketing jobs, event planning and wedding planning, however since im also working at the moment, I haven’t been able to search actively.
Argh.. Help!
