Resilient

 Small but don't judge a book by its cover.

In Muar with my parents last weekend, I briefly told them that Sara was going to catch a vessel in the Straits of Melaka. My mother asked why the need? Like her I was wondering why she was assigned a man's job. But I gave it little thought and went about chatting and laughing about the matter with the old folks,
Little did I know that she was in the midst of tough circumstances having to decide on perfect timing in the arrest of the vessel for a client. Later she related the story of how she had to make sure a proper anchorage of the vessel was essential for the warrant of arrest and her heroic act of climbing up the vessel on a hanging rope.
" Were you wearing a skirt?" What a concern I had. She cheekily replied that she was in a man's pants and that she had the sheriff and a marine officer with her. She had their support and care and even went with them to the mosque as they performed their prayers. She was well taken care of by them and commented them on their professionalism.

The story had that she was tested on her precision in warranting an arrest at that exact time for a full coverage of her stipulated duties and it needed skill and experience of which she had none. It was a first time for the lawyer and the firm confirmed that it was also a first time for the organization. Dad kept ranting why send a lady for which she replied that she could perform a man's job in the open seas as "what can a man do that I can't in the open seas?" May be true. You can't fight the waters but you need courage and resilience. The challenge however was when she had to climb up the vessel from a rope. Sounds really challenging indeed. I am sure a man can do without effort or is it so?

Puny in size but big in attitude. 

When she decides no one can change unless she relents. 

She relents if she is doubtful.

Her bosses sang her high praises and understood that there were difficulties that she could not express but only experienced over the arrest of the vessel with a ride of an hour on a high speed boat in the Straits of Melaka from midnight till the wee hours of the morning.

When she finally served the warrant of arrest the captain finally conceded to her demands and gave full operation and submitted to the court order.

Well done girl. 

Pa and ma are proud of your brave act and sense of responsibility when called to duty.

But Sara loves to bake.

She has started an online business on her cakes.

After she came home at 5am she had to rudely wake up after 4 hours of sleep to complete her order for the day. Two orders came in earlier in the week and the open sea adventure was a last minute assignment. The resilient lass rose up to the occasion and delivered her goods on time.

I believe her clients were pleased with her touch.

Not only had she to deliver her order, she had to attend a bridal shower with her as the organizer for childhood friend; Kit Yi. She could not disappoint the bride and finished her promise with love and pleasure. 

The gritty girl.

Last night after work she was up to another order again.

This time her floral expression came in brighter hues.

The client came in the morning to collect them; fully pleased I believe.

Sara and her unexpected adventures.

How to catch up with her?
