Air Stewardess to be

This girl of mine has a mindset of her own. She graduated in Accountancy yet she has passion to be an air stewardess. While she was serving at the British International School as a Finance Officer, she secretly went for an interview for the post of an air stewardess.

According to the interviewer, she was over qualified. She tried very hard to convince him of her passion. Expectedly she was accepted to be trained for about 7 weeks before she could be graduated.

But she had to tell her dad about it. True enough, when she told him about it, he was shocked in disbelief thus sending him into hospitalization because of his rapid heartbeat. He told the doctor about the cause and he was advised to let go.

So 7 weeks had passed and she was graduated being the best trainee for her batch of 15 flight attendants. There were a few more batches.

Two days ago, we attended her graduation. She stood tall with full self confidence.

Selfie with her boss.

Her grandma was proud of her too.

Congratulation, my girl!

She had asked me if she had done what's right
and I told her to follow her dreams
and most importantly to be in love
in what she's doing..

    I graduated in marketing but what I'm doing now has nothing to do with marketing too.. You are right, 'lui dai lui sai gai', cannot control or force them.. Follow their heart and if she wants, she can go back to her accounting line one day.. Good luck sweetie girl :)

      We can hope so but as long as she's happy, it's what matters the most.

      While at work, she's not seeing the places. But she plans to visit places during her break.

    Congrats to your daughter! I would advise her to follow her dreams too. Not many people even have dreams so those who do, must encourage them to follow their dreams.

    Poor dad of hers but yay to one who knows what she wants and the courage to do it. Bravo!

    Nothing happens by chance, who knows someday her accountancy will come in handy. Connect the dots like what Steve Jobs said. She'll be able to connect the dots when she looks back years from now.

    I suppose she has a lot to thank her mom for for her unwavering support. Kudos mom!

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
