100 Rupiah Notes (part 2)

Continuation from Wooden Shoes and My Dream (part 1).....

3 years had passed, the little girl, let's call her L was in primary school third year. She was still carrying out her 6-am routine. However, she realised that if she did not make any changes to her life, she would end up being 'cha-kia' girl for the rest of her life. With her saving in her metal-tin box, together with her best friend (she believes in choosing someone she could really trust), they started to purchase candies from supplier and sold them in their own school.

Their marketing idea was most parents would give their kids 100 rupiah notes as pocket money. Hence, they decide to priced their goods for 100 Rupiah for 3 candies (they believed this is easy and convenient for their customers - students. haha...it's important to think from customer's own shoes). Soon, their little business triumphed , they sold boxes of candies one after another. However, little that they realised, someone, let's call her Z was silently observing their little business. Soon she too started to sell candies in school. With the help of her elder sister and money from her mum, Z could afford to sell the candies at a much lower price. Soon all L's customers chose to bought their candies ffrom Z. That had crippled L's business significantly. That's was how her little candies business ended less than one year after operation.

That afternoon when class ended. L was extremely sad and heart broken.... She walked home alone. On her way, she pondered about a lot of things ~

• Z was one of the richest girl in her hometown - her mum owned a photography studio that monopolised the entire photography business in the area. What on earth would she need money in the first place. So, she concluded that Z real motive was nothing but to destroy her business.
• Z did not have entrepreneur mind at all, to be honest although this sounds bad but it's reality. With the price she quoted, she would definitely made a loss. As they were purchasing those candies from the same supplier, L knew very well how much those items cost or maybe she did not mind losing money as making money was not her motive???
• But the biggest thing that had broken L's heart was not loosing her business but losing her friend. Jz to let you know L and Z had become good friends since they were in primary one and often spent time to do their homework together. She felt betrayed and that marked the end of their friendship......

Mother's Day

Mum, I love you more than I can say

To me, mum is the most important, special, kind-hearted and sincere person in my life.
Haha..I believe you also share the same sentiment as me and deep inside your heart you would say "yes, I agree, my mum would always occupy one of the most important places in my heart. Mum, I love you!!!!

How i feel about my mum, nah?? well, Mum vs me = Angel vs Devil

Why Mum is an angel and I am a devil?

1. She is a selfless woman - she loves to help others although sometimes she would hurt herself in the process.

How about me?
I believe in the theory that you could only be helpful to others when you take a good care of yourself and helping others within your own capacity where mum completely disagrees, she always says " you always think for yourself only". However, has mum ever realises that if she hurt herself - her daughter would be worry? that's how i love my mum

2. Mum is sincere and never ask anything in return
This year, mum does not get her Mother's Day celebrated as my grandpa is in critical condition, my parents have traveled to KL to visit and help to take care of him while he is hospitalised. Grandpa, forgive me for being unable to pay you a visit. I'll
probably make a trip to KL after my vacation internship ends in late July.

How about me? 


MOST of the time i am sincere too XD, my mum's gene afterall haha...

3.When someone bullies her, she does not know how to defend herself and she would forgives him or her in seconds..


How about me?


I would ensure that particular person get his lesson before I could forgive him. It's important for the particular person to know he should treat and respect others with dignity.


That's about my mum. An ordinary housewife who leads a simple life, whose biggest dream is God would give the best things for her daughter. She is my biggest idol that i could never be able to model yet she is someone i'll never stop worrying about.....

Happy Mother's Day mum!! You should know that everything that I am doing right now including studying hard, working hard, constantly improving myself is to give a better future for you and dad..... 

Wooden Shoes and My Dream part 1

A story about a little girl and her wooden shoes....

Living at a kampung in Siak Sri Indrapura, Indonesia, a little girl as young as 6 year-old woke up at 6 am everyday. So, what is this little girl doing as early as 6 am? Well, she would be very excited to go to the kitchen where her grandma had prepared a huge plate of Nyonya Kuih for her to deliver to the nearby 'kopitiams'. In the evening, that little girl would return to those coffee shops to collect the payment for the sale of the day. That's how she picked up her maths skill where most kids learn from classroom or tuition.

The biggest challenge that little girl faced at the moment was her height. Being as young as 6 year-old, she could hardly be seen by the coffee shop owner whenever she tried to stand in front of the cashier's counter. However, she believed there are many things she had to clarify with the coffe shop owner from simple things such as counting the amount given to her was right to learning (surveying) which type of Nyonya Kuih customers love the most. HER VERY FIRST LESSON in entrepreneurship begins here...So, what the little girl did to make herself looked taller was she would start to wear her grandma's 'cha-kia' (wooden shoe in Hokkien) - at that time there was no high-heeled shoes for kids for her Nyonya Kuih delivery trip. Her friends always laughed at her as the size of the shoes was very much bigger for her little feet, but she jz couldn't care less. Soon, people started to be label her as 'cha-kia' girl. At the end of the day, her grandma had no choice but to buy little wooden shoes that could fit her feet.

She was very happy with what she was doing. Why? Well, she was happy not because she likes Nyonya Kuih or hanging around  coffee shops where some kind aunties would gave her nice food as rewards for her hardwork. Although she was extremely happy to hear from them whenever they commented " that girl so young yet she is so hard-working, unlike my Ah-Beng, 8 am already still sleeping at home and refuses to go to kindergarten lol", her biggest motivation for what she was doing was actually the commission(MONEY)that grandma would pay for her work actually XD. haha...little girl actually knows the importance of money lol. But to be honest, she never spent the money she earned. She would 'bank' her money in a little metal box. She would sometimes lend her money to her grandpa whenever he needed small change for his shop as she knew grandpa would pay more than the amount he borrowed from her. haha..little loanshark lol...

to be continued....
