I had my first taste of rejection today. I finally got around to call pple up for appointment after half of doing nothing but lamenting about my habit of procrastination. Ironic but true. I knew exactly what I had to do to rescue myself from the depths of self-pity & self-resentment BUT I chose to sit on the couch and stone in front of the TV. Thank God Cindy insisted on going for the Loreal private sales, if not I would have slept my afternoon away.

Anyway, I made my first phone call at 5ish pm. It took me a while to decide which name to pick to be the auspicious first person to call to start this whole habit of calling pple up. Turns out that that first person was nastier than expected. Well, I did expect rejections. BUT I didnt expect it from a friend whom I was so close to in sec school. We literally had recess tgt everyday! The mention of "Great Eastern" was like a taboo word to her, she immediately resorted to saying her bf is in the industry. Benefit of the doubt given to her, but the whole conversation was so revealing of her character and value as a friend. Utterly disappointed.

Today is a reality check for me being in the business. Rejections, people, characters, relationships... I knew it wasnt gonna be easy, but I NEVER knew it till today. Good news is, I am looking forward to more of it. Sounds bian tai? LOL. Well, I know my purpose, I know what it means to be in this business and I know this is only the beginning. Most of all, I know I am improving everyday. That's what life is all about isnt it. Our purpose here on earth. All I have to do is trust that the Lord will and can deliver me from the troughs and towards the peak. It is great to know I do not have to worry about tomorrow. Like my mentor said, "Dont count the no. of falls, count the no. of times u pick yourself up. That's what really matters."

Good night to another day of eventful experience. Life has never been so dramatic yet real!
