Alouette, gentille alouette,
Alouette, je te plumerai...my favourite nursery rhyme :)

After a very long break I am back. Prior to the break I had a list of topics lined up that I wanted to post on, but due to some unfavourable circumstances I was unable to do so. Nonetheless, I hope to do that in due time.

Now for those of you who are wondering where I was or what I was doing, let me explain it simply....I made a mess of my AS levels and had to start again...find another college and another course that I was more suited to...which I did and am now happy and making progress.....that is why at the end of August I was unable to post delightful words on the summer as I was straightening this situation out....I'm more of a stay calm and fix it person.....

But the world around me was still moving and many a thing has happened...at my new college I met a lot of new people....some I like more than others...but the thing that intrigued me most is how I have started all over...a fresh start with the experience of mistakes that I know not to make again and a second chance...

Sometimes we're faced with bearings that are unknown to us...the right path may be the one beside the one your walking on...how are we to know that the path we have set upon is right?....the world is full of endless possibility and the decisions we make open doors for us and close some too...yet I continue on in this world knowing He has set a path for me....how I'm going to reach it I don't know but I have faith...

In other news, I have developed an addiction to coffee...now many of you will relate to this but it isn't just because I like the taste but more to do with....READ THE FOLLOWING SLOWLY AND IMAGINE ---> the idea of a high flying marketing executive walking into an office wearing a red jacket, wind blowing through her hair (or hijab in my case), holding a cup of coffee, the keys to a shiny car in her hand, Coco Chanel's 2.55 quilted bag on her arm, chatting away on her business phone to someone in Japan......do you see how it fits in???

You may have noticed that I mentioned a marketing executive...my career of the month and like all careers the more you read about it the more you see yourself there...Marketing is a unit of the course I chose to do and I enjoy it...partly because it involves creativity (creativity and me go way back) but also because its interesting to me how people's perception is influenced....

Over the years my choice of careers has been wide ranging from actress to artist, fashion designer to scientist, chef to accountant...currently its a strong tug of war between an accountant and a marketing executive...in the midst of all of this I have been contemplating which university to go to....and I must say it is a rather difficult choice to make...not only because I have to consider whether to stay closer to home or to go somewhere further away but also which course to do...it was narrowed down by choosing to do the Finance Career Academy course at college which meant I will inevitably do something relating to business and finance...and yet I still am unable to choose....if there's someone with wise words of wisdom out there...err I kinda need ya...sort of now...hello?

Also, I am thinking of getting back to my other love...photography...I neglected you for long but the promise of return is on the horizon.......

Hopefully I'll be posting again soon and for those of you who read my blog this will be a summary of the past few months...
