안녕하새요 !! (Hello in Korea)

Its been so long since I write in this blog. Kinda busy with work and I just came back from a trip to Bangkok. Although I have just came back from a trip but I am looking forward to my next Jan trip to Korea!! ^^

1st of all, I have signed up for a Bachelor course at UniSim and I am now waiting for their shortlisting and confirmation. Hopefully I will get shortlisted for the course. Kind of excited to be able to start studying but unsure if I can juggle with both work and study.

2ndly, I have started to help Naz on managing Securix (again!!). Of course, this time round is with payment. Which means I am part timing there now and getting paid. But of course, will not be immediately. Will have to wait till money starts to roll in when Securix has 21 men.

3rdly, Xtyne and I have started a small business online. We rented a display box with Toy OutPost and sell hair accessories. We have our source and this is to test the market. Just hope that the items will move and we will profit instead of seeing the red.

We are now at Toy OutPost @ Vivocity!!

The picture is exactly the display we set up. The deco is done by Xtyne and I am impressed. But I must say the display deco is really not Xtyne and she really did a good job! We are rolling series by series, hopefully the demand is there to cover all costs. :)

4thly, Asta said that she want to back out from the baby apparels business. I have to admit that I am both disappointed and sad as the idea of selling baby apparels came from her and she was the one who guaranteed that there is a demand market for this. The fault partly lies with me. I trusted her and take her word for it, so I did not do my homework and do a market survey. :( When we bought back the products from our sources, there were no communications. I realised that Asta is not one who will communicate. She does things her ways and only inform or communicate when someone push her or probe her. -.-||| It is hard this way. NO one knows what is going on and will think nothing is being done. Well, at least for me, this is what i think. The email account, the FB account, FB page and even the blogspot.com website is done up. Short of putting up the photos of the products to start selling. 

Photos are taken by Asta and she did her part. But I keep having the feelings that the photos are not done good enough. Maybe I have higher expectations? But as a much better photographer than me, the photos taken by her for displaying are not up to my expectations from her. I expect better from her. 

I have discuss with Xtyne as she is the 3rd partner (but she is not so keen on the baby apparels) and both of us agree that I will buy over the remaining inventories and then continue on my own which I am going to do so.

And lastly, I have also starting to look at handmade jewelry. A few ideas have formed and I am looking at suppliers of raw materials. Once done, I can start to make and sell. :)

Seems like I embark on quite a number of money making scheme. But all these require concentration, commitment and capital (both time and financial). I need to tell myself to be more discipline instead of just 3 mins craze for the stuff. Have to be more patient. 

XOXO
