Niagawan di Dubai

Dubai. Bumi padang pasir.

Aku sebenarnya tak tahu apa yang dicari di sini oleh company aku. Logik akal aku katakan bukan masanya kami melangkau jauh dari rantau Nusantara. Ini cakap aku berdasarkan ukur baju di badan sendiri.

Segalanya serba mahal.

Segalanya menuntut wang ringgit.

Aku kira, jauh lebih mahal berbanding Singapura.

Bisnes itu menuntut kita melihat kapasiti sendiri dan kemampuan kita untuk merencana pasaran baru.

Di sini, jelas yang aku alami di sepanjang exhibition hanya pandangan padang pasir yang gersang.

Dilema Yang Hilang Ketaranya

I have made my decision.
The decision is to tender my resignation in November.
The aim is clear - kick off my own business.
Let me be the captain of my own fate.

At this point, much of my concern is revolving around the fate of my wife and the baby whom we shall conceive come this December.
I believe Allah has His plan. I believe I have gotten so many signs to choose my own path. The event in Dubai has shown to me clearly of what I need to do.

Few projects are on right track.
My online matchmaking website is coming through, insya Allah by end October.
My special project for sports will be coming through by end of this year.
My online invoicing system will come through by end of this year.

Let's pray.
Let's hope.
Perhaps hope is the best thing ever happened to a man in a dire situation.

Business act

Creating another event ticketing for sports in Malaysia is probably the bravest act I took this year. Maybe this could spell a disaster ending for me at my workplace.

Or it could be a start of something awesome.

In business, any venture must have the element of speed to the market. But mine is not unique. It is more like taking cue lf what is going on in the market. Give more choices to the industry players or participants.

Post marriage entry

I have been married for 8 months. I am expecting a child. Oh, a baby to be precise. My lovely wife is doing ok, except now she's coughing. Hopefully this cough will go away soon.

My businesses are doing okay. The event software is a bit struggling but we do have enough cash to survive for another 6 months.

My online matchmaking website is going to be there. Google adwords does make its magic on the subscription rate. But i am revamping it now. Move away from ruby on rails and change it to a much better and leaner Laravel. Will need to integrate with online banking though because manual payment is a bitch. Seriously.

I'm working on two other projects right now. Both are my back up plans to make sure my cashflow remains positive. I hope they will turn out okay and successful. Unlike my accounting software project.

So that's all my update. I know i have so much to say but i'll keep it for another day.

Crossroad again

This time is about choosing one's career. Between staying in startup mode or go for corporate world.

One is full of risk but with the highest degree of flexibility.

Another one is very rigid but with lower degree of risk.

Need to ask myself - what makes me ticked every day? Day in and day out.

Contemplating, contemplating, contemplating.

Pasca kahwin

Alhamdulillah dah masuk 2 bulan lebih sikit aku dah jadi suami orang. Rezeki bertambah baik. Mudah-mudahan keadaan ini berterusan.

Tadi gedebuk gedebak habis tiga ribu lebih beli jam Apple Watch. Dok terpikir pasal cashflow, mujur bisnes online aku now positif cashflow. Kalau tak memang aku tak nak beli jam ni.

Zaman sekarang zaman susah. Bini aku dok sibuk hantar resume sana sini tapi belum ada rezeki. Yang aku belum buat lagi ialah guna cable aku sendiri. Bila lagi nak guna kan?

Mana tahu ada rejeki di tahun 2016 ni.
