" It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one."
-George Harrison
" All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused. "
-Martha Graham

Mia's POV.
What a stupid day, well what can I say I just hate monsoon. I mean who the hell likes rain, it's so dirty, moist, wetty season. I could survive any season but monsoon. Well he.... He liked rain, OK whatever back to chores.
Oh! I didn't introduced myself have I, ah! I'm Mia, Mia Tim... I know weird name but I love my name. I have my own bakery shop down this town " Mia's Heaven" . I always dreamed to have my own bakery shop. I love baking it's relaxing. Its the only time I can be my own in my world without any thoughts per say enjoying life too full. Weird to say but baking is stress releasing, you should try it.
My family and I moved to Singapore when I graduated high school. It was fast, didn't had time to say goodbye to anyone. We were in rush. But I can't say a word, my family is my life though it broke my heart to just shift without say goodbye to loved once and just moving out like.... OK that's hurt to even think. But we made it to Singapore made our own new world again with new friends and family here. Its cosy homely and satisfying. Nothing like new York but I can say I like better here then new work.
Mum and dad hard a hard fall in business, we were on verse of bankruptcy so we had no choice but to move to a different country. Now here we are, welcomed and loved. I had never thought of moving out of new York back in high school, I had dreams there, one of was bakery of course but now I guess change is for good and look at me now I'm totally a different person who own something of her own, can talk and not to say kick ass if necessary.
I have learned many things from my mum and dad, among them one is " life teaches us a lot" we just have to learn and keep going cause world never stops for us. Just cause for their hard work well paid, mum and dad set up there business again here in Singapore. I always get inspired from them for taking decision of life. They once we're broke but they put up together be family and now lives happiest of all. I wish I could be like them enough strong to face a situation or make a decision. I suck at both.
Back to my life, with the thought/'s of same thing again and again I finally reached to my bakery which was just few blocks away. Nice right, I like walking and I suck at excrises so both in one. I know I have a good mind. I moved out of my parents house 3 years ago, tell you my parents are emotional blackmailers cause it took me nearly 6 months to just convince them that I'm now big big girl ready to spread my wings around to fly high without getting hurt. And mostly one day anyway I have to leave and now was the time. That took them 6 years to understand and allowed me to move out. Too protective and hell too crazy cause moving out deal was to have dinner with them 3 times a week. And to say I liked it. Cause come on who say to to free food. And more over I love my mum's cooking.
I opened my bakery, I open it at 9 am every single day and staff arrive around 9:30 am and finally we start off by 10:00 am, we close at 7:00 pm and at 5:30 pm on weekends. I love baking as I have said before.
After coming to Singapore I decided to do pursue my dream by choosing cooking and baking course ( well technically not the correct term, but we'll you get it what I mean). Course was of 3 years and you can say I rocked it in. I don't think I could have done this better with any other course and career.
Oh here comes my favourite staff, Emily my BFF my cook /my Baker / my helper / my healer and list goes on. She was my 1st ever appointed staff and we clicked instantly. I knew she's gonna be my best friend ever. We been together in all ups and downs of bakery together for 4 years now. At one point I thought she will live, if got at amazing and better opertunity and yeah I know I have to let her go, but she is a bitch and leech ( sorry for my rough language) . She stayed with me all this year starting form 1st day.
You know, we have been told learn from where ever and when ever you can, she is the example of it. Though I might be good at baking and all but she has a hand above me. I have learn many things start from baking - cooking to life lessons. She's Australian but born in Singapore. On the 1st year of she joining she had pretty rough time of loosing her mother from cancer. If I would be in her place I would just shut everyone in my life and walk away deep in dark. But she is a bad ass. When her father and brother where mourning over the death she handled her family like a true man of the house. She is like a coccont hard and tough outside my as soft as cotton inside cause I have seen her crying her heart out at backdoor of bakery, well cause she hates being seen crying.
Emily walked to me with a big bright smile saying " hey girl! Good morning". OK something is up now. I was bit of surprised not cause she was smiling but cause girl she was gigging like a teen. OK this is too much, I replied sir " morning, want me to tell what's cooking in your little mind with hollow space". And again here we go with more giggling. Now I'm hating this sound of giggling and I most for know something is gonna happen. Seeing me thinking deep to find what's that she's simple like teen she shook her head and said " bro, I might or might not have received an email form Willson's Co. For a big big big order which is after 3 week from now". Hell...! Hellllll that's awesome. OK now I'm also giggling like a teen and know what I'm liking is quite well. Now I know that girl was why smile like a fool. I Though she finally know she's gone crazier then crazy.
I said with a big grin appearing on my face " you are not kidding right, I mean how the hell this happened, I mean this Willson's are Richie rich, I thought they just want 5 star thing n all, you know what I mean right!" I spoke all in one go. Willson's Co. Is a million dollars company from new York. They have a branch here in Singapore and to say it's getting more and more develop day by day. Its not like my bakery and business is going down or so, it's just shocking that we get and opertunity to work with Willson's when other are better in our work. OK this is definitely a hell big success. And I'm beyond happy and excited for it. Can't wait!!!
