this is the sneak peek of what we have for our cafe but i know that this is just not good enough so expect for moooreee soon.
this is a whole new level
this is seriously a whole new level of dinner dash. the one when u finished with your current place and earned your money, u have to move to the next level which require more advance machinery to maximize the effectiveness and will end up spending all of your hard earned money on machine, too bad, this real life version doesnt come with a booster that allow me to move with lightning speed like the girl in the dinner dash had.
so, here's me, packing all my stuff from my current kiosk and ready to move everything to a new place as it is not the kiosk concept like the one used to work on but it is an upgrade version of it, a small cafe, i have to start everything all over again with this new place. i have no experience handling a fast food cafe and i'm not sure how to survive this reality game.
all i know is that i'm going to put all of my effort on this one little baby right here and hopefully everything will turns out just the way i imagined.
the picture on the left is my new cafe, i named it frosty n wraps plus instead of just frosty n wraps for the kiosk version, i currently sold one of my kiosk due to the location that happen to somehow clash with this new cafe ( both of them are only 5 minutes walk away from each other with the same target market ) and my dear baby kiosk on the right picture already being closed due to end of contract, so i only have this cafe with me right now to put all of my focus, though i do intend to open a new kiosk at different campus but this cafe already eat' most of my time. i got so much thing to do as there is only togel' ( unfurnished ) cafe at this moment ( the one in the picture is the one which already heavily photoshop-ed by my dear dad ). there is no canopy to protect my customer from wind and rain, there is no table and chairs, there's nothing. i have to start with everything all over again.
i want my cafe to have a cool canopy like one of this actually but due to financial constraint, i couldnt see any other way to have this beautiful canopy than to sell my kidney or any other body parts simply because i run out of money. the way we finance this whole thing is through loan from both of our parents.
i'm not gonna settle in anything pastel. i like it in bold and happy colours. so expect yellow, pink, purple and bright blue.
and i want to have this cute window-like thingy.
first date
this is not the first time but this is the one and i'm sure right now at this moment that this is the last one.. LOVE.
i'm not gonna write how he took my breath away the first time we met coz he's not. unfortunately, for you, my dear readers who so eager ( or pretend to be ) eager to know how and why i end up with this guy, = he's a keeper.
this is not one of those tales of perfect couple with sweet dates and so on though i want it to last in that way, the happily ever after kind of way.
the very first time we met, surprisingly we wore the same stripes motive shirt. me in my blue shirt with stripes (not something i normally wear on dates but i wore it that day due to a few complicated circumstances that would kill this suppose-to-be romantic blogpost ). blue stripes it is. he wore a black stripes shirt that scream out 'bad guy' alert. our first date happen to be at pizza hut, mainly because that's the only one franchised restaurant available at convenience. KFC would be too far to walk and to cover myself with sweat before a dinner date. and McD located 30 minutes drive away. another reason is because of i 'love' Pizza Hut. not because of the awful filling at the top that looks like half of the suppose-to-be-there sausage mysteriously gone, or the fabulously super thick base that kill the taste of the pathetic filling, it is because of the 'always late' service that would end up every customer especially the one with their first date in a plenty of time to break the awkwardness.
i forced myself to come out with brilliant idea how to successfully survive this date , it is not sort of blind date because we get to know each other from a mutual friend and we text each other crazily week before as he is my senior and i asked him a lot of question about college and everything. so, when the lightbulb is on, i decided to go just with it, i would wear myself, not any other goody girl, i'm just myself. ( with extra plan on my plan that if this doesnt turn out well, i'm gonna finish all of the pizzas, split the bill and choww )
he is not bad himself, needless to say, he got me. on time. checked. and he let me pick my own menu which is so sweet i have the right to decide what goes in my stomach . he did teach me a few things about the public transportation and some nice restaurant around town. in fact, he is such a darling when he let ME finish the pizzas, i cant finish the whole fat ass pizza myself so i tapau them for my roommates. he escort me all the way to my college though it would be easier for him to use his motorcycle. and sent me cute things saying he loved the date and all.
the reason why i write this is because i miss him so badly and i'm craving for soft cookies and ice cream from Pizza Hut.

kawan
kawan yang awesome merupakan benda sesuatu ( dammnnn tatabahasa aku! ) yang paling penting. tak kira la untuk apa jua keadaan sekalipun. di saat menikmati keropok lekor, mengumpat sampai lenguh bahu kiri tanggung dosa, kawan tidur bersama dalam kelas, pass paper mahupun handphone masa quiz atau test, kawan yang sgt bangga jadi kawan kita bilamana die bertempik panggil nama kita dikhalayak ramai, kawan..
aku ade ramai kawan.
ada antara mereka yang dtg dan pergi.
tapi ade yang berkeras nak stay sampai mati.
ape pun, mereka tetap dlm hati.
thats rhymed!
lets see, masa tadika dulu aku ade sorang geng berbadan besar, aku pengikut die je, mungkin sbb aku yang berat badan maintain 21 kg dari tadika sampai sekolah rendah ni rasa lebih selamat dengan dia kott aku pun tak tau
oh n aku ingat lagi nama die nazirah.
masuk sekolah rendah, aku mmg selekeh gila nak mampus! aku ade ramai gak kawan antaranya nabila, atuk die meniaga kantin sekolah..
Aisyah, mula2 je kawan pastu bermusuhan sbb die kemaruk nak jadi princess ( u know the type of girl yang suka bila junior pompuan adore' die ) tak hairanla, dengan segala usaha die mekap bedak byk2 and then start beli lipgloss sume. masa tu umur baru darjah tiga kott. 9 tahun.
budak laki tok sah citer ah mmg tak pandang langsung la kat aku. ade satu masa tu masa aku darjah lima aku ingat lagi, ade budak laki ni sepak bontot aku. bekas tapak kaki die melekat kat baju aku just imagine,
aku yang terpinga pinga tak tau ape salah aku terus bertindak pusing 360 degree sambil menghayunkan tangan. too bad, tapak tangan aku melekat kat pipi die sepertimana kasut die melekat kat punggung aku.
oh yeahh nama budak laki tu naim. die bukan kawan aku. saje citer nak tunjuk taiko.
disebabkan aku sgt sgt selekeh and x de sapa nak kawan ngan aku, aku terpaksa merayu kepada mereka supaya masukkan aku dalam kumpulan polis entry atau pun main cop tiang'. kalau korang jenis budak yang macam tu mesti korang tau macamana perasaannya masa kita merayu kat orang masa nak main n end up jadi budak yang kena kejar orang lain sampai habis masa rehat. kejam sgt, peluh habis satu badan . lagila org tak nak kawan.
kawan masa tuisyen nak ups nama intan khaleeda dan latipah.old school giler nama latipah kan, comel jee. ni lah masa bahagia aku masa sekolah rendah. sbb lepas selekeh kat sekolah, aku lah yang paling tip top bila ke kelas tuisyen. sebab?
pertama, pakaian yang sgt up to date dibekalkan oleh mama saya
kedua, wangi jee, mama mmg make sure anak2 sentiasa kemas gi kuar mana mana cuma masa kat sekolah tu x dapat tolongla sbb mama keje. so keadaan nak ke kelas tuisyen sgt sgt tip top.
tu je lah masa yang aku rasa diri dihargai masa sekolah rendah dulu.
my best friend! ni best friend sekarang sbb dulu masa sekolah rendah, aku dan adik aku, anis selalu sgt sgt bergaduh sampai da bermacam cara ikhtiar mama abah buat, letak tali pusat dekat dekat kat tempat yang sama la, bagi makan minum pinggan cawan yang sama laa,, cadangan paling hardcore dari mak cik aku kat kampung, bagi makan kote lembu. tapi yang tu mama tak buat la sbb kejam sgt kott.
dulu masa sekolah rendah walaupun benci kat anis tapi aku sayang die.. aku x suka tengok die kena buli. kitorang naik bas gi sekolah, sama cepat die dapat. tu konsepnya tapi masa aku sekolah rendah dulu, ntah ape punya konsep dorang pakai, sapa cepat, die copkan tempat untuk semua kawan die. and yupp semua.
so aku ngan anis selalu tak dapat tempat. sampai satu hari aku bertekad. ni tak boleh jadi. aku lari dengan sekuat hati untuk copkan tempat untuk farhanim, kawan paling rapat aku masa tu ngan tempat anis. aku berjuang habis habisan.
selalunya yang selalu jadi princess ialah dak aisyah tadi tu, ramai pengikut die tolong cop kan tempat untuk die. and sorry to say, aku mmg sukakan cabaran. aku amik tempat paling mencabar sekali. tempat princess. tempat feveret die. sejak dari hari tu, aku jadi witch jahat sbb da merampas tempat princess. semua bencikan aku.
dorang start main kasar dan mula pakai khidmat budak laki untuk jinakkan witch ni, sorry la derr, aku campak beg budak tu kat bawah. die bengang ngan aku ajak gaduh, tumbuk kott, tapi i ni gegurl lagi tauu.. aku tarik rambut die muahahahahaaaa puas hati aku.
aku bukan tak nak dan tak pernah cuba nak jadi gegurl in fact da banyak kali aku cuba seperti senyap senyap wat bibir pecah pecah mintak abah beli lipgloss. and he did bought me. cherry flavored. segar di ingatan. masa nak gi sekolah, penah gak pakai bedak mama, pastu ade member tegur apesal muka ko putih naw macam tepong gomak? frust.frust. masa mula mula period mama belikan set skincare bajet bajet da nak jadi anak dara, tapi tak lama sbb aku geli pakai pelembap tu sume and tak natural langsung hasilnya.semuanya tak berhasil! aku still nina yang selekeh and kali ni aku da start dapat reputation witch aku. hurmmmm. ape lah nasib.
so semenjak dari itu ( sekolah rendah ) perjalanan hidup aku lebih bahagia. aku mula belajar, tak guna kita nak blend in ngan org lain walaupun kita frust tak dapat jadi sebahagian dari dorang.. aku mula wat benda dengan cara aku, hasilnya? aku dapat the best seat dalam bas on the way balik umah. and aku dapat savekan seat untuk adik aku, kadang2 kita duduk sama sama sebelah sebelah.
aku belajar bersungguh sungguh dapat dapat 4A1B untuk UPSR. masuk sekolah menengah.
masuk sekolah menengah aku da up sket r sebab aku cam da pandai melawa, aku start sneak out pergi birthday member beriang ria usia remaja sampai kantoi, balik kena ngamok ngan abah. biasa r weyhh.
aku start kumpul duit nak beli mekap. heheee malu kita tau. yup, aku ade list ape yang aku nak improvekan diri aku contohnya aku nak putih for example, then aku akan kumpul duit beli losyen bagai. stupid girl!. should've spend the money on food instead.
kawan baik aku masa form 1 ialah sarah dan nafiysah. tak lupa juga farah. tapi dorang ni superbb punya pandai. so aku cam rimas r kawan ngan dorang sbb cikgu mesti komen cam ' awak tengoklah kawan kawan awak, sume dapat markah tak nak kalah..' so aku da x kawan ngan dorang daa. hahaaaa. bukannya nak improve diri sendiri.
masuk form 2 aku start rapat ngan natrah adibah binti nubli. huaaa nama penuh. sebab aku sayang dia. serius. die macam kawan pertama yang aku rapat gila. aku tak kan lupakan dia. semua masa bersama. natrah cantik. strong personality. die suka sukan, benda yang aku benci gila tapi aku support die walaupun aku tak faham ape die cakap pasal sukan. kitorang go through a lot of things together. aku stay kat umah die sume sebelum kelas petang, dia la kawan yang aku rasa menerima aku seadanya, and for the first time, aku rasa macam ade orang tggu aku kat sekolah. orang yang aku panggil kawan. aku sayang dia.
selain dari itu, aku ade zati, dayang, nadia, azlyn..
masuk form 4 & form 5, member yang rapat ngan aku cuma qila ngan wina, wat semua benda sama2, crime partner, ponteng kelas, tuisyen sume sama sama..masa tu perangai aku mmg macam haram.. tu la member rapat aku selama 2 tahun..
aku mcm da mmg ditakdirkan tak byk kawan sgt, ade pun seketul dua je kawan yang rapat dan aku mmg btol betol stick ngan orang tu je la.. mgkin jugak pengalaman aku masa sekolah rendah dah banyak ajar aku, jadinya aku x kekok pun untuk survive sendiri smentara jumpa kwan yang ngam ngan jiwa raga aku.
kawan masa kat uitm, aku paling rapat ngan eda, mira, yana, qat, wawa.. sepanjang tiga tahun kat uitm ni.. mula mula kenal dalam kelas je tapi makin lama makin rapat, ni la kawan yang ingatkan aku assignment test sume.. cara berkawan masa kat sekolah ngan u pun berbeza sbb da makin matang, ala ala semakin mengurangkan kontroversi terlampau dan ke arah meningkatkan prestasi.. tak lupa juga yang rapat sangat sangat ngan aku semenjak minggu pertama aku masuk u, wan farina, ramiza, angie, pegi pasar malam sama sama, tgk movie sampai pagi, makan hotel setiap hari, semua kenangan kenangan manis.. kawan kawan sekelas aku yang lain, semua masing masing ade keistimewaan sendiri dan amazingnya masa masuk u ni, semua budak laki kelas aku, semua baik baik belaka, dan buat pertama kalinya aku rapat ngan budak laki sekelas ( aku x penah rapat ngan budak laki sekelas semnjak sekolah rendah sampai sekolah menengah ) aku mmg hargai semua kenangan setiap hari pergi kelas, 3 tahun wat presentation, 2 kali pergi trip. lagi amazing bila semua budak perempuan pun cun cun comey comey belaka, ni semua pengalaman baru bagi aku tapi aku tak kan pernah dapat lupakan setiap sorang dengan personaliti masing masing yang unik..
selain dari itu, aku rapat ngan am, teman masa aku kerja kat MFC
aku tak racist k, aku pon ade gak member international dari pakistan
hahaaa sila gelak bila tgk mereka ni
aku ade ramai kawan.
ada antara mereka yang dtg dan pergi.
tapi ade yang berkeras nak stay sampai mati.
ape pun, mereka tetap dlm hati.

my business partner
2. my business partner.
think u can handle it alone? well think again. after all, u do need someone.
this is very important and i thought about this long and hard enough to come out with a decision.
A business partner for me is the one who will be there with me through thick and thin, who can tolerate with all my bad side, who perfectly understand me, who can control me, the one who will go out there and fight with me, the one who can calm me down after a looonnggg day and can handle herself/himself emotionally. and of course the one with money.
after days of searching for the right partner, it turns out that the one i'm looking for is the other half of me.
he is just perfect for me, i don’t know what is wrong with this guy but somehow he has a very high self tolerance and patient. he can conquer my bipolar syndrome.
we spend one solid week to clean up the kiosk, we went to IKEA together for decoration shopping followed by meatballs for dinner, we decide on everything together. the menu. the banner design. the store decorations. the colour ( i’m the one who insisted to have it in pink ). the supplier. the staffs. the promotion.
for the first month of operation, we divide works equally and work ourselves out to our very first sales. it was nothing like what i imagined it should be. at first i was frustrated. the sales. it is just frustrating. he never did, ‘ we’ll try again tomorrow’, he encourage me and of course followed by another very nice dinner. i enjoy every second of my time with this guy.
we increase our marketing effort. and later it went beyond what we’ve expected.
eventually, we made it so far.

last semester
i learnt a valuable lesson throughout this semester.
i've started my own littleexperiment business this semester. and for those who curious about how much do i earn?, do wait for the next post. thank u.
i set aside other business activities and focus on this one ( which is so not-me coz i used to juggle between everything )
i struggle to divide my time equally, spend time with my dear friends ( less attention in class ) and less less time with my family ( things i regret )
how does all of this thing that happen throughout this semester affect my life?
1. my decision to start a new business.
i'm the kind of girl who work my ass off! and i'm deadly serious about this as i perfectly understand the fact that things just not gonna fall from sky everytime i ask for it. i have to. get up and do something. something that make me proud of myself. so at that time, there's big opportunity right in front of my eyes and i did. grab it.
with nothing in my mind. i'm still learning on how to make things run perfectly. and the things that happen between me and this business just went crazy day after day. needless to say, my day will be filled with drama, problem and stress.
but those things are the one who make me realize that i'm not a little girl anymore.
at the end of the month, i got bills to pay ( of course with back up from my parents who just a phone call away and million thanks to my dad's cimb clicks account. things just got better when ur parents did know how to use the internet properly ).
i have to deal with supplier, i have tons of proposal to make, i have to run back and forth to make sure everything is perfect.
and i tell u this. my life are not the same since the day i decided to start this business.
look at my fingers and it will tell, look at my face and it will explain to you how much i want to be with my family during my holiday break from study right now just like all of my friends.
i have a low tolerance about everything.
well that's all ends when i learned that it cost u A LOT to go short-cut.
i dont have any form of transportation to pick up stocks and such, so i ask for help from my friends and we reach an agreement ( petrol and such ) for her to drive me around.
soon, it burns hole in my pocket. i took public transportation from the day i realize the fact.
i have to bear with the weather, it burn down my time, i have to carry heavy things and look like 'makcik jual tupperware'
just when i start to adapt myself with my new volks", there's a bunch of people who think that it is such a big deal for me to enter the university main gate with my new super cool public Volkswagen. they thought that i should drive my own car. as they thought only the one who drive his/her own car deserve a corporate business image. and dammnnn i look like a girl playing 'masak-masak?'
they stopped me once. they really did. they didn't let me inside, and i have to walk for although its not more than 5 minutes, i have to walk with 12 kilograms of chicken and nearly 3-4 kilograms of vegetables, and 6 kilograms of sauce. total up to 22 kilograms !
i did carry all of this things by divide it into two and carry a whole of 10+ kilograms. walk to my kiosk. then walk to the main gate to carry the balance.
then, i brought this up to the higher management and convince them to let me inside, and alhamdulillah things got better. i explain my situation, they understand my situation. win-win. so, thats what i learned, we have to make them understand without fall into judgement.
then we ( me and my business partner ) have issue with our staffs/employees, they are just very hard to find.
it is very very tough decision to think of the most important traits that a potential employee should possess. but the problem is, no one want to work or perhaps we didnt have a enough time to carefully look out for employees.
if i have to list down what is the most important things in business through my 5 months experience, i would say, no 1 is your product, and no 2 is your employee(s). when u have the right product, u just have to find the right employee(s). and that's the problem.
we just couldnt find one. u know how does it feels like when u went to eat at local food stall, found a really hardworking worker of the stall, then u secretly whisper to him/ her asking about his/her salary and he/she answer about what 1/2 of the salary you would want to offer for your employee.
it will took a looonnnggg sigh followed by a simple 'eh work for me lahh then.....'
and u know that its just not the right thing to do. not morally right.
so then we settle for 5 employees as we thought that the work is too much for less employees to handle. wrong. this part screwed me up. it turns out that the output produced by 5 employees is the same output produced by 3 employees. 3 instead of 5. yup. we did pay the other 2 with nothing. such a waste of money. big one. it costs us thousands till we realize this fact.
it is such a dilemma to deal with employees, i dont have any experience on how to treat them, i dont like playing big boss role play, i would like to play it cool, but being cool is not enough to earn their respect.
the stock counting. the things that burn my time the most! hours and hours on stock counting. and the result is. nothing. then i figured out the efficient ways of counting the stock. the trick is to keep a track record. as simple as that.
then when it comes to the most important part of all. money. yup. those five little dirty letters.
keep in mind that i put all of my savings to finance this business which leave me with nothing. which is a bad, bad mistake. lets see, i dont have any money for food, transportation, for daily survival if u understand. i seriously have nothing.
too bad. i take out part of sales money to finance my survival instead. i regret this. if i could turn back the clock, i would have save more money, double than what i thought i need to survive in this business. i would have save more money for contingency, just in case money, if something happen.. like when the machine broke down and cost me RM800, that the oven didnt work and i have to get a new one, waste of RM 120, when the fridge didnt working and all the food went bad, it cost me RM 400, whenever there is a mid term break that i have to bear the bills of RM 25 per day for each of the day that there is no sales at all!
the effort. i need to motivate myself. this has a full term effect on my life simply because it changed me. I've become a better person as i go through every challenges. i keep myself motivated by reading success story of young, drop out of school entrepreneur. i adore them. their courage. they give me motivation to walk extra miles everyday just thinking about their name and
empire.
*sighh*
i've started my own little
i set aside other business activities and focus on this one ( which is so not-me coz i used to juggle between everything )
i struggle to divide my time equally, spend time with my dear friends ( less attention in class ) and less less time with my family ( things i regret )
how does all of this thing that happen throughout this semester affect my life?
1. my decision to start a new business.
i'm the kind of girl who work my ass off! and i'm deadly serious about this as i perfectly understand the fact that things just not gonna fall from sky everytime i ask for it. i have to. get up and do something. something that make me proud of myself. so at that time, there's big opportunity right in front of my eyes and i did. grab it.
with nothing in my mind. i'm still learning on how to make things run perfectly. and the things that happen between me and this business just went crazy day after day. needless to say, my day will be filled with drama, problem and stress.
but those things are the one who make me realize that i'm not a little girl anymore.
at the end of the month, i got bills to pay ( of course with back up from my parents who just a phone call away and million thanks to my dad's cimb clicks account. things just got better when ur parents did know how to use the internet properly ).
i have to deal with supplier, i have tons of proposal to make, i have to run back and forth to make sure everything is perfect.
and i tell u this. my life are not the same since the day i decided to start this business.
look at my fingers and it will tell, look at my face and it will explain to you how much i want to be with my family during my holiday break from study right now just like all of my friends.
i have a low tolerance about everything.
well that's all ends when i learned that it cost u A LOT to go short-cut.
i dont have any form of transportation to pick up stocks and such, so i ask for help from my friends and we reach an agreement ( petrol and such ) for her to drive me around.
soon, it burns hole in my pocket. i took public transportation from the day i realize the fact.
i have to bear with the weather, it burn down my time, i have to carry heavy things and look like 'makcik jual tupperware'
just when i start to adapt myself with my new volks", there's a bunch of people who think that it is such a big deal for me to enter the university main gate with my new super cool public Volkswagen. they thought that i should drive my own car. as they thought only the one who drive his/her own car deserve a corporate business image. and dammnnn i look like a girl playing 'masak-masak?'
they stopped me once. they really did. they didn't let me inside, and i have to walk for although its not more than 5 minutes, i have to walk with 12 kilograms of chicken and nearly 3-4 kilograms of vegetables, and 6 kilograms of sauce. total up to 22 kilograms !
i did carry all of this things by divide it into two and carry a whole of 10+ kilograms. walk to my kiosk. then walk to the main gate to carry the balance.
then, i brought this up to the higher management and convince them to let me inside, and alhamdulillah things got better. i explain my situation, they understand my situation. win-win. so, thats what i learned, we have to make them understand without fall into judgement.
then we ( me and my business partner ) have issue with our staffs/employees, they are just very hard to find.
