Career wise, I'm wearing at least 3 different hats every day...
1) First thing this morning - siapkan accounts for the shop. Update monthly sales, expenses, stock purchase for April. Siap print for the 2 bosses to study. Data is there but I can't pinpoint why certain months sales are up and certain months sales are down. I guess we have to look out of the box (or shop for that matter) ie customers' behaviour. Early of the year maybe dapat bonus so sales naik. Lepas tu turun sikit. Then naik sikit - perhaps yang private sector tu start dapat bonus. Last month turun sikit, maybe stagnant a bit as regular customers have gotten all that they need and they come for bike service.
Hence my suggestion to the 2 bosses that we need to embark on marketing efforts to expand the reach. Nak kena buat paper gak nih!
2) Linda & I have started working on our yearly project: Baju Kurung Cotton for Kids (and Mommies). Semalam dah mula dapatkan stok kain. Today I just uploaded 18 new materials. Sila, sila, jemput, jemput check them out. Free postage (Malaysia only).

3) Yesterday we had another meeting on that potential project. The project owner, let's call him DY, called for the meeting at 6.30pm. Bila dia call, hati dah mula stress. 6.30pm? (Kepala dah mula bayangkan segala traffic jam and such). Dekat mana kita nak jumpa? DY said - kedai you sebab saya kena ke Melaka lepas tu. Alhamdulillah... terus hilang serabut di kepala.
This "old man" is always punctual/early. Jam 5.30 dia dah sampai. Jam 6 dah start sit down with him at kedai tomyam next door to run through my initial proposal. The others started to join 6.30 onwards. What time did we finish? Almost 9.15pm. Then 2 of the partners stayed on at the shop to discuss a few things. Tutup kedai jam 10. Balik rumah dah flat. This is not the age to do this kind of work anymore! Pagi tadi patutnya pegi cycling, tapi badan macam dah balik cycling! Esok lah...
