Let Love Lead The Way

"Let Love Lead The Way"

What makes this world go round
Will the answer let her down
She is so sweet and young
And her life has just begun
What does her future hold that's the story left unknown
Will she make it through her days, let our love lead the way
Part of me laughs (ooooh)
Part of me cries
Part of me wants to question why (question why)
What good is their joy
And why is there pain (ooh)
Why is there sunshine and the rain
One day you're here
Next you are gone

No matter what we must go on
Just keep the faith
And let love lead the way
Everthing will work out fine
If you let love, love lead the way
Sitting there all alone
In the window of her room
Watching the world go by
Brings tears to her eyes
All she sees is hurt and pain, she wants to break the chain
She'll keep pressing everyday and she'll find her own sweet way
Part of me laughs (me laughs)
Part of me cries (I cry)
Part of me wants to question why (wants to question why)

One day you're here (you're here)
Next you are gone (you're gone)
No matter what we must go on (I will go on)
Just keep the faith (keep your faith)
And let love lead the way (I know, I know, I know, ooh whoa)
You can be all that and still can be who you are
You gotta know for sure that it isn't make believe
You may feel weak but you are strong
Don't you give up if
If you keep holding on, you'll never be wrong
Just close your eyes cause it lies deep in your heart, yeah
Part of me laughs
Part of me cries (I cry)
Part of me wants to question why (question)
Why is thee pain
Why is there sunshine then the rain

One day you're here (you're here)
Next you are gone (you're gone)
No matter what we must go on (I will)
Just keep the faith
And let love lead the way (lead the way)
Everthing will work out fine
If you let love, love lead the way
Love lead the way

LEGO League Championship, NYC

I had a relaxing Saturday in NYC, finally free of works! I have been working all day from Monday through Friday, time to give myself a treat - ran away from the busy NYC and went to the Riverbank State Park at 145th Street, Manhattan.

I still remember my first LEGO from my dad at the young age, knowing nothing about robotics but to build my own sweet home using the LEGO.

By seeing all the genius kids in the stadium, how cute and smart they are. I know I am totally outdated and OLD.

Transforming a simple LEGO to a programmed robotic LEGO and complete all the required tests are just not what I thought of when I were young.

Thumbs up for the technology, coach, and students! You all are brilliant!

A Big Thanks to all the parents, supporters, sponsors, and organizers! They are so supportive and always give their best to the children without asking anything in return.

"Brand Name" Yogurt

Something special I found in Whole Food Store - my name appeared as the brand name for the dairy product - yogurt!

Good for Health! :)

Never thought of people using the name of Rachel as their products' brand name. However, I will reserve the name for my bridal and event management company in the near future!

A New Life in New York

Leaving my friends at a place called Des Moines where I stayed for the last two and a half years.
所谓天下无不散之延席

Moving my belongings from Des Moines to New York was a tiresome task. Pack and Unpack are troublesome and tiring. Fortunately, I have my dearest boyfriend, kor kor and di di there to pack 90% of all my belongings into 6 big luggages. I am so glad that they are willing to bring an extra piece of luggage each, just to move all my stuffs to NY.
Thank you and I truly appreciate their kindness.

To start my new life here in NY isn't too hard. I am so lucky to have my uncle and his family here to take care of me. Pressure after school greatly reduced with their kind offer (to stay at their place). It is not easy to stay oversea alone without help from friends. Networking and maintaining a good relationship with others are the key factors to survive in US, especially during job hunting.

I have recently started my full-time job at a fashion production company called Sketch Studio Trading, Inc. My job is to communicate with my clients (fashion designers, specialize in night gown designing) and the fashion manufacturers in China. Acting like an agent to both parties: receiving the fashion drafts from clients, add in some beading designs for the drafts received, sending instructions to Chinese manufacturers in China, receive purchase orders from clients, fabric orderings, garments inspection, cost calculations, etc.

Sounds interesting, however, I am not as busy as the rest of the people in the office. [90% due to the not functioning computer] Hopefully there are more for me to learn on the coming days. Although this is not something related to my major, I am satisfied with the job. This is what I dream of since young (not having chance to further studies in fashion designing). I love seeing and working with fashion field, especially nice night gowns. I could now learn more about this field, earning hands-on experience, and knowing more in details and with a deeper understanding on this field.

Lastly, another excitement --- My company is willing to apply H-1 Visa for me!!! So that I can stay in the US for a longer period while gaining valuable experience. Hopefully everything (every application process) goes smoothly and I will get the H-1 Visa.

All the best to Rachel!

Thanksgiving: Las VegasTrip

One of my BEST holiday breaks!
I had so much fun in Las Vegas. Thanks to my dearest darling ever! No wonder I love you so much.

We have been to so many places in LV, Nevada. I just couldn't believe I just been there last two weeks ago. It is true that I saw the places in movie which based in LV, however, that was my first time see the REAL scene!!!

Hoover Dam



Just look like a fake Background picture. In fact, it is REAL.Grand Canyon, a nature wonder



Eiffel Tower, Paris Hotel

Excalibur HotelI acted like I am playing the slot machine, Luxor Hotel.


Botanical Garden, Bellagio Hotel

Las Vegas is truly the most happening place in the U.S., especially its night life. Night clubs, lounges, bars, and varieties of shows, all are SUPER happening at night. I still remember how long the queue was when we were waiting to enter the Night club - TAO.
I like the design of the club so much. The theme of the night club and the "NAME" might be a contrast one.
The design is based on Buddhism, you can see statues of Buddha all over the place. It was sounded weird to me at the first place, Buddhism and Night Club. Is that true? After all, it is simply a theme of a night club. That shows its creativity, indeed!

Night view from Mix Lounge, Mandalay Bay Hotel, 64th Floor

Stratosphere Hotel, the TALLEST building at the Las Vegas Strip

Whereas, Spa-ing is the famous place to go in the morning or afternoon. We stayed at Mandalay Bay Hotel, which is the South part of the Strip, Las Vegas. Here is where I had my 1st Body Massage experience! Really live like a rich man's princess. I spent the whole morning SpA-inG and MassAgiNg ~ happily...

After Spa-ing, what else to be qualified as a 1-day Princess? A GRAND DINNER I supposed.

YUP! We all went to French Fine Dining at the Paris Restaurant, Paris Hotel for a $600++ dinner!! WoW...sounds crazy??! Not to deny - but a little...Fine Dining at Paris Restaurant

Too many to talk about LAs Vegas Trip, however, there is a time constraint at the moment. Need to work on my final assignment and individual paper, therefore, I will let the photo to tell you more on my Las Vegas Trip.

Lastly, let's end with the Fremont Street Experience!

HAPPY 30th Month Anniversary

Great to be with my dearest Randy Beh. Thank you for being with me all the time.
I appreciate your love, your care, and you understanding.

Happy 2 1/2 year!


Love you,
Rachel Tan

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY

to
My Dearest Sister - Mei Yee


WELCOME to the Adulthood, my dear.
Truly hope you have a great birthday celebration there.
Wishing you the best and cheers!


~ WE Love you and Miss you much ~

Take a sweet bite!

Feel so tired of studying for exams...
Feel demotivate, disappointment, spiritless...
How can I fall in love with EXAM again?


Will 4.0 student feel tire and stressful to keep up with their straight A result?
This question appears in my mind in a sudden...

I have been worrying for my unfinished tasks, feel depressed when I do not get my daily task done on time. My bf told me not to set too many tasks in a day, my concern is - am I really overdo my daily task? Am I too exaggerate? I am confused...

All I know is:
- I must be strong to overcome all the uncertainties.
- I shall put in more efforts and energies to work hard for my 4.0 GPA.
- I must stay strong in order to survive in this competitive world.
- I shall put in 100% effort to landing a full-time position after my graduation.
- I shall financially self-support after my graduation.

Thank you, my dearest parents.

Keep running, Rachel.
Keeping up the good job.
Future is in my hand.
I am the creative creator of my own future.

Do appreciate the precious support from my family members, my dear - Randy, my *38 sisters - Cheng Yee, Yee Peng, Mei Yee & Jyy Huey, my friends, my host family, and everyone who shares the joy and sorrow with me.
Thank You and here is a big HUG from me!
Thank You.
