Raye!! =)

Well, tetiba je dh rayer! Gosh, sket pun tak terase puasa. Seperti tahun yang lepas2, the whole family just raya KL only. This is the 3rd year in a row, and i am praying for it to be like this sampai bila2. It is sooo nice being in the city during raya. No traffic, no hassle. Hehe. And saper kater raya KL tak best. Best sgt2. The whole family (well, almost!) gather on the 1st day. (in the pic is just like half of em jer! so susah to get all 30 together. nak kumpul separuh pun dh susah! harharhar ;p). i had so much fun. Being with all my nieces and nephews. Yeah, aunties too ;)

i have once, had a bad raya. i hate thinking about it. But cant deny, whenver the celebration is around the corner, it just bring back memories. The kind that u wish never happened, or at least had happened differently. Nevermind, past is past. Lets just pray it wont happen again in the future. As for me, my raya this year was marvellous! ehehehe!

dYna : yeah, my Mr.HantuAyam top it up!

wk4 : my babies!

The buka puasa with the KL-ian family seems to end at the second week. Many of us were busy, with outside invitation and such. As for me , i was occupied with my hampers. Orders are coming in crazily. There's a time where i was up for 20 hours straight, no sleep, not even a lil nap.















I began to understand the feeling here. You know, how many often advise u to do the things you love or at the very least learn to love the things that u do. Cz it makes all the difference. I make each and every pack of the gift (hamper) with passion, love and care. I go into details for each and every of them. I put each lil pieces from scratch plain basket to a beautiful love-filled giftpack. I walk proudly helding each of them in my arms. These are my babies. I shouted every god-damn time they (i.e. my bros) kacau em. And it hurts me deeply when they (i.e. the people) didnt handle it with care. I encounter a lot of new experiences and feelings dealing with the situation.

I know the problem lies within me. Something that i have notice long before and recently admit. I am easily attached to the things (people) around me. (one of the main reason why i CANNOT have pets ;p). Be it people, car, or other belonging. But to my hampers? Aint that a bit too much?! I guess. But that is just the pathetic lil me. Upon delivering (yes, i did that too!) i get emotionally tense when they didnt take a good care or at least appreciate my work as they shud. (you see, not everybody see things as you did. Some people just wanna get over with it. (eg : order hampers, deliver it. Khallas!). And i'll go swearing like 'Jangan harap i'll ever make any for you, again!!'.

I know, i know. Too much. That's not how business commence. But that is just me.

On top of that, i have to admit this is a very profitable opportunity. No wonder people said if u rajin a bit during the fasting month u can really make big bucks. I was just testing the market. And the return was worth it. I will make a proper planning for years to come. And this time i think i will hire someone. For the angkat barang and delivering stuff.

So i dun have to say 'goodbye' to my babies. So i dun have to deal with the pain of seeing people not appreciating it. So i can have a good rest after a batch of orders.


these are my babies. And i am soo proud of them =)

dYna : "always put urself at the recieving ends!" - to how i came up with the idea of making good stuff ;p

wk3: badly ill...!

Yeah, i was in bed for one whole day. Couldnt even get up. (there goes my pahala for the day ;p). but on the other side, what makee it worse was the fact that i still wanted to fast even though i can hardly do anything. Mama said cz i ate too much!! in my defense, i did not!! but as usual, being me, i avoid any form of medication and stick to the supplements instead. It works on well, alhamdullilah. Two days later, i began to accept another order for hampers. (i prefer to use the term 'giftpack' here as people would started imagining basket-with-plastic-wrap-ribbon-on-top every time i mentioned the word hamper! ;p). And that takes up 3 of my balance days.

Outcome : they love 'em all...!! and place another batch of orders!

dYna : yes, they like the last one too!

wk2 : hectic!

We started the week with another buka puasa. It was mama's birthday. Apparently, it turns out that there was and will be birthdays each week of the month. (this is what happen when u have a 'big' family ehehe...). My other didi, who was stucked in Senegal for the last half a year, is back for a month (maybe more ;p) holiday. So everybody (almost) was anticipate to see her. as usual, it was tiring fun!! ;p

Throughout the week i was busy with my new-part-time-job-full-time-obsession : making hampers!

Maybe it's new (this is the first time me making commercial hampers, previously only for fun/families), maybe it's a hobby or maybe it's just me. I went into every details,from picking out the items, baskets, ribbons, material used, colour papers. Everything, practically every single thing by myself. (yeah, with the support of mama and the rest of the family members). it was so damn tiring, u feel like breaking the fast during Asr! ;p

Being me, i just wanted to give the best. And there's nothing new about that.

dYna : hardly breathe!
