thank God for my 1st job!

hi everyone!

just to update my journal. i really really really wanna thank God for the great opportunity as a fashion designer as my first full-time job.

i went for my first interview as a fashion designer 2 days after i reach singapore from my holidays... i was quite worried, because usually, companies would prefer their own citizens and people with experience..but i dedcided to give it a try. fortunately.. they liked my portfolio, and was lucky enough to be called down for a second interview.and they accepted me.  

talking about my salary, it's abit(very) underpaid.. but i dun mind as long as i am able to gain experience from it. especially, the boss is actually giving me the opportunity to be in-charge of 2 of their labels.. 1 is womenswear label, and another is a newly setup menswear label... i will also be involved in the planning of the construction of the stores and take part in the discussions to go with my concept.
i think it'll be a great great plus for me though it'll be tiring and its a 2 mans work. apart from that, they do bags as well, so i will be able to help them design as well, of cos, while retaining the image of the brand itself..

the menswear label will be like my baby because i'll see it through from building its core image and foundation as a brand.. so until it is stable enough.. i dun think i will be able to let go of this job.
meanwhile, im working from home in proposing the concept for both mens and womens collection, including the time for production, my first collections will be during november, just in time for xmas season... anyone has got any ideas in mind??
both labels are mass market and has to be really affordable. the target market will be more of working adults.. so it'll  consist of more office and formal wear.hehe.. im just so excited about it! so if u have any ideas, please share with me~!!

about my (BA) bachelor degree.. im planning to save up and maybe go St. Martins to study. but!!!! if time doesnt allow, i shall just take it here in singapore or in indonesia.. for now, work comes first.

the only problem is, im praying reallllllllly hard, so that my application for a Work permit will be granted.. if now all these plans will go in vain. auhh.. please pray for me yaH!!!!!!  

best regards,
Merry
