Things that I ponder, things that I do

Ok I know, I know….u guys must be expecting frequent update from me since I quit my day job already. Well, I planned to update my blog everyday too, but the problem is I don’t think it’s possible. I got a teething baby to take care, entertaining my usana customers and downlines and also busy setting up my next coming biz. I could say that I’m very productive! Can you guys guess what time is it now? It is 2 o’clock in the morning and it seems that this is the only hour I’m free to update my blog, watch tv and do some reading. See, pukul 2 pagi baru free. This is even worst compare to my previous life. Haha.

Well, even though I’m not working anymore and busy with my own thing, it does not mean that I totally give up to work. I’m still looking for job especially in oil and gas industry. In fact I never stop looking for job in O&G field for the past 6 years! And I will keep on trying, who knows tiba-tiba boleh dapat, huhu. If I manage to get job in O&G company, I will for sure accept the offer sbb people are dying to work in such industry, so do I. Ehe. But sejak 6 tahun lepas, ada few times dapat interview and cuma sekali jer I was this close to be hired, tapi takder rezeki tetap takder rezeki, so tk dpt la. I’m not going to give up..yet. I know it’s not easy tho since I came from different industry.

However, this is only applicable to O&G industry, if not O&G….hmm my spirit to work kinda fade already la. Haihh. That’s scared me tho. Question now, when the time comes, when there’s an opportunity arise, will I be back to work? Like for real? Sekarang berani la cakap nk kerja balik. Nnt later on serabut. Faham sesangat dengan diri sendiri.

Orait, I have been meaning to tell all of you about my next coming biz yg I dok bising-bising kasik hint dalam entry I have to control myself from writing about it all these while sbb I have no idea whether not me and my mom could make it. But as for today, we managed to sew few already, of course banyak tak jadi masa mula2. So far progress is very promising, my mom and me, we made a really good team Terima kasih mak. My mom she used to be a tailor, dari kecik sampai besar I pakai baju yg dijahit oleh emak. But since mata dah tk berapa nampak, she retired from sewing. Nevertheless, now she’s back! So, to make thing easier for her I bought 2 new sewing machine [Singer for edging and Brother for jahit biasa and simple embroidery]. Will definitely buy the cover stitch machine once the biz dah ok

Initially since my mom still using the antique machine, byk fabric yg agak susah nk dijahit, kalau boleh pon jahitan serabut. Tkkan barang yg nk jual nk jahit cincai-cincai kan? Dah ada machine baru, it gets better. We stayed up late every night, sewing, ironing, gunting kain, buat plan and etc. Dengan nk familiraize ourselves with the new machine pon satu hal. But kinda like the machine, computerize machine pretty easy to use Bagusla utk I yang tangan mengelupur ni. Huhu.

So far dah jahit banyak giler dah, but baru malam ni berjaya buat yg memuaskan hati but not perfect yet. Sebelum ni, ada yg terkecik, tersalah potong, jahitan tk cantik, tersalah fabric banyak la benda yg salah. Determination mmg kene really strong, if not, tell you sure give up. Di samping bersedia utk kerugian banyak kain juga. Huhu. Nnt I tunjuk gambar2 product yg tk jadi tu. Hahah. Motif? To tell the world that my mom and I indeed start from scratch.

Parallel with that, I need to ready with a website, tailor made for the biz as well. That’s the proper way to do an online biz I guess. Many think that it is not necessary to have a website, we can just you know… simply use the free blog platform yang banyak bersepah2 sekarang, but for me, I look at different angle and I always think a proper, attractive and neat website is very important to attract customers. No? Branding, labeling, packaging, marketing are among the areas that I need to pay attention too.

Happpy…hmm esok hari apa yer? Can’t seems to remember the date and day since tk kerja ni. Huhuh. Mcm la masa kerja I ingat hari..heee. Oh yeah I did remember especially Friday!

p/s: will update some photos of my new sewing machine [my new gadget!] tomorrow around 2-3pm
