Hubby's in JB again. Another training at one of that seven companies. We are still having tough time. Our payments are still delayed. The one that should have come last week will only be in next week. Some technical problem. I think more of human problem! Hopefully the other one will be released real soon. A lot of stuff is overdue. The training trips are consuming our reserves because they can only be claimed after the trainings ended. And that would take what - 1-2 months later? Good thing we have tenants and now rents are due.
I chat with Hubby after he arrived. Apparently it rained quite heavily on his way down south. He remarked - one wiper not working so well. We should have replaced it last week. I said: "Kesian awak...". "Nak cari rezeki halal memang susah sikit...," he said.
Very true... Sometimes I wonder how some people can do business and get really rich. Here, mostly it's contacts - it's who you know, it doesn't matter if you can actually work. A [long lost used to be] business partner called Hubby just last weekend - inviting him to join him for golf with some Govt officers. Besides Hubby having not played golf for ages, we know that means we have to fork out for the guests' fees as well. At least buy lunch. So he declined.
I tell myself, I will uphold my principle - of doing business the "halal" way. Even if that means we might lose out on some opportunities. We lost one project today. After all the hard work and weeks of following up, I got an email saying - management decision not to appoint your company, perhaps next time. Disappointed? Of course. But I believe there must be a reason for it. Allah swt dah atur semuanya. Like ABA's FB status yesterday: "Yakin pada Allah bukan mengharapkan terkabulnya segala harapan, yakin pada Allah adalah meletakkan keredhaan pada ketentuan Nya". Saya redha. Our rezeki not there, maybe some where else. But one thing for sure - never give up working and praying.
