Let The Jotting Begin!

I’ve spent some days with my niece last week… It was fun! She was born just when I had left for London so I’d never seen her. They say she takes after me in looks and character: self-willed and stubborn… *hehe* She has all the typical Indonesian features and even my curly hair… Having the opportunity to spend some time with her and her little brother of eight months was a welcome break from all the hard work!

Im still busy with the eCommerce website for the African artefacts company. I’ve decided to start allover again with regard to the product images, they were in a bad condition: wrong sizes, all different sizes, wrong format, wrong quality etc. I’ve been cropping, retouching, colour managing and resizing the originals. About half of them and I’m still not done… but at least it looks a lot better than it was: a lot!

I’ve received a letter about the job in China, there might be a complication with regard to getting a work permit but I’m invited to send a CV in English and a few samples of my work. I need to contact the intermediary because he told me this semester was booked already so it would be for the next starting in January. I so hope this isn’t going to fail because of one small unexpected trivial issue *sigh*.

Tomorrow I’m invited for coffee at my neighbour’s and I’m looking forward to this. It’s always nice to meet new people! In the meantime I’ve been doing research after I had an extremely motivational chat with my sis-in-law last week. She said to follow my heart and dreams and just ‘do it’: what is keeping me? Nothing should be keeping me, so out with the Moleskine to jot down notes and make some sketches!

I rest my case… *hehe* (my niece on the left, me on the right)

Busy little thing already… and yes it’s the same table: odd huh? ;)

Look at them curls! And humour too! ;)

  1. Hi Zesty!

    Beautiful niece and your pictures are really cool :) you really look alike :)

    Good luck with the job in China. Hopefully the bureaucratic issue will be resolved quickly.

    I agree with your sister :) when you feel that’s what you want ‘just do it’ :)

    How cool your neighbours have invited you over. How nice of them! :) It makes you feel welcomed I imagine :)cool

    I don’t know what could have happened with the comment you submitted on my blog before :( I just got the second one where you told me there had been a problem :( I haven’t changed settings or anything :( I am sorry because I will miss out on your always interesting feedback :( Maybe you can have a few minutes when you can and let me have some of your ideas :)

    Cheers!

  2. Hi Wen :)

    Thank you! :) She can be as stubborn as me *hehe* About the job: still have to ask more info, will keep you posted. I left such a lengthy comment, I tried to get it back when the error occurred but it was too late already and it was gone :(

    I couldn’t remember what I’d written because I’d written so much and I was so disappointed by that silly error that I gave up… sorry Wen… but I already had in mind to visit again and try to recapture the words although I’m pretty sure it won’t be the same anymore. Perhaps it wasn’t meant to be said or something, I don’t know. At times I feel that when stuff like that happens it must happen for a reason…

    New opportunity tomorrow, I promise, let’s hope Google won’t act up this time! ;)

  3. As usual, I look at pics before I read ;-)
    So…. Hey!!!
    Where’d the color pictures come from??
    And who bleached your hair??
    That’ll teach me :-)
    (give me a break… cuties distracted me from noticing other details)
