Yeah, it's quite a busy time for me. It started around 3 months ago.
My mom's business is usually handled by an employee that already works for my mom for more than 14 years. She started working for my Dad and still continuing even after she is married. But, suddenly, mood changes. She started to make a scene and get into troubles with my mom.
And in the end of March, she suddenly said she wants to quit. And my mom granted it. Since early of April, I was really busy helping my mom to cope with the business. I'm starting to more concentrate in the business and learn new things again. Management is not something difficult to learn, yet not easy to practice. I'm starting to learn more about our products and our competitors.
Instead of a new different life, I also stared to know about someone's true heart; someone that my mom really believe in (let's say her, AL). AL started to spread some bad rumour on us. Said something that is really not the truth. Then, trying to get our distributors and customers. We never ever met someone with that calibre; never ever feel ashamed.
It's such a blessing for me, since some of my mom's collagues trying to help us in such difficult time. Some of them is a long-time business partner that will never give someone else their products. My mom is starting this business about 20 years ago, when I was in kindergarten. I still remember some good and bad memories about the business.
But, now, it's my turn to make myself more useful in the business. Trying to give my mom the best advices that I can give. Deliver the best solutions for the business. Giving my best to drive the business to the top.
For real, I do a lot of stuffs every day. I'm the one that responsible of our storeroom, and do some accounting and financing. Trying to keep my pace with the market, getting to know my competitors, looking for a new suppliers, etc. Sometimes I also do some hard work, such as: driving, delivery, sales person, tidying storeroom, etc. I'd like to know how to run the business from the bottom.
Such a great day for me. Learning new stuff. Trying to concentrate on the duty. Be perfect. Arrange the order.
Hoping that what I get at this moment will be useful for my whole life. Always life in the right way.

June 17th, 2009 - My Girl's Birthday
Today is my girlfriend's birthday. I've been busy all along these few weeks. Trying to catch up with every I can with this short time. It's quite hard to explain here. But, I'll try to blog it some other day.
I can't meet her personally today because of my work. I have a cousin's wedding this weekend that my mum should attend it. And she is planning to go to Jakarta just 2 days after. Since it's a quite short time to be there, so I just postponed my plan to go to Jakarta.
The day before (16th June), it's a quite busy day. I've been trying to contact some of my friends asking about a shop that sells cakes or flowers. Yeah, I'm trying to surprise her with flowers and cake.
And I got into these two websites, harvestcakes.com and bungahati.com. They sells cakes and flowers, respectively. I ordered a chocolate tiramisu cake and a dozen of white roses for her. And I set for 3 PM as delivery time. And even though I ordered it in the evening, they still said that it's possible to do the delivery. I'm so glad of it.
On 17th June, I wake up around 3 in the morning to call her to say 'Happy Birthday'. She said that I'm the second person after her sister. Then, we have a conversation for around 30 mins. And then we try to sleep again.
As the result, I wake up quite late that morning. And still I have to catch up with the business, so I don't have any chance to contact her more.
At 3 PM, I received a call from my girl that she just received a cake from Harvest. And She is really surprised that I send her a cake. We talk around 10 mins as we should continue our work. She is quite busy with her new job and I'm busy as I have some delivery to do.
About 15 mins later, she calls me again. Yeah, the second delivery is already there. She gets a dozen of white roses that I ordered through bungahati.com. Again that she is quite speechless that she received such presents.
I'd like to thanks some of my friends that already give me some clue to order the present. And I'd also to thanks harvestcakes.com and bungahati.com for their outstanding service.
Happy Birthday, Hunn.. Hope that all your wishes come true. Wish that our relationship stays forever and ever. Love u, Dar.
