My life has been pretty hectic and busy so far- to insanely juggle between everyday work, YeboYo online boutique as well as some family matters (oh yes, sis is getting married soon! all of us are so excited over it!)

Talking about YeboYo, both my partner and i have been busy running around making appointments and meeting new faces for opportunities to make things work and to get our stock moving since the fashion trend tends to get obsolete after a while and if we do not get it clear as soon as we can, this will be affecting our progress by holding the old items and hence unable to replenish them with the new design. Undoubtedly the business has been improving since the opening in July ‘09 but we have yet to reach the satisfactory result.

Sometimes it can be discouraging when we have put in our whole heart and effort into it and yet we do not always get what we are expecting. I still remember vividly during our first flea market experience few months back, our business was bad due to the raining season and bad crowd available at the area. We only managed to sell a few pieces to some of the friends and relatives who came over for a visit. Imagine if it wouldn’t for their support, we would be making zero for the day. Not to mention the operating cost such as rental and manpower that incurred for the event.

On my drive back, I felt so terribly down and hopeless thinking that i might as well put this to an end since we are going nowhere and i am feeling totally lost without any hints of light at the end of the tunnel…

I kept asking myself “Why do i have to wake up at 6am in the morning on a nice weekend and spend the whole day looking after the booth which do not reap anything at all? I might as well rest more and spend the rest of the day relaxing and chilling out with my family…”

All those negative thoughts keep coming to me to convince me that i should probably quit and stop trying anymore.

As i am on the verge of my helplessness, the voices and support from the friends and families at the background have keep me from moving and march forward boldly. It is truly amazing when our friends are there for us when we needed them most, a friend in need is truly a friend indeed! And i am truly blessed to have these wonderful bunch of great friends around me to make this happen- Yes, you know who you are :)

My heart always filled with pangs of guilt whenever i need to rush out early in the morning to work or to get prepared with the booth setup. Seeing hubby who is still sleeping soundly beside me aches my heart even more as we are already not spending much time together during the weekdays due to my unusual working hour and yet i am not reserving the weekends for him. Sometimes our topic of argument would be if this is the life i ever wanted since i need to meet clients after working hour on some of the days and make myself all exhausted and worn out  after all the rushings. Is this worth all the effort and time in order to make this a dream come true? 

Despite all the arguments, he still waits patiently at home for me and call if i have not got back yet. I must have kept him totally worried all the time with my lousy sense of direction and the ever increasing power in short-sightedness even though he always “seems” to be ignorant at times. Not to mention that he is already a man with not many words. Yes i know how much you love me…always. (minus the toilet seat and dishes left in the sink part, you are just perfect for me)

Let’s just don’t waste my time trying to change someone overnight in order to suit me as it never works anyway. But there are still some of the good values of him which i wanna make you guys envy- look what has he got us for breakfast here… His own DIY burgers!

Not only 2 but 4 burgers!! – for me and my family.

I guess i am the luckiest woman on earth as he loves not only me, but my parents too! As i am fully emersed in this thing called happiness- a bit surreal but definitely true and i ask myself “Tell me, what more could i ask for…?”

(but still i gotta wash all the leftover dishes, the same old issue which has not been resolved since the 100th day…)
