On my 21st birthday last year, the 1st of August 2015, we decided to make it happen and started selling our cookies at our first event in Kota Damansara.
And a few months later on my mother's birthday, 3rd February of 2016, we were told that we are going to be on television !
No words could describe how happy and excited I got when I heard the news !
Ya Allah, thank you :)
Also, much thanks to Sonia as well for being our host !
And my mum for being such a great Business Partner / COO / CEO / Driver / Mum...everything lahhh
Wish I was there to stand next to my mum but when I saw her smile in the picture below, I felt such content and happiness. Nothing mattered more to me than to make my mum happy, and am glad that I decided to go with my mum's idea of starting a business together :)
I guess what they said was true, that it all comes to niat (intentions). And my niat upon starting this business was to make my mum happy and my parents proud. Also, a personal goal has always been to start a business before 25 y'old, so yeah. Alhamdulillah.
Nobody said starting a business was going to be easy. But it seemed to have grown so far in such a small time frame, less than a year !
It was only months ago though. I first started approaching The Whisk cafe, being persistent with them and passing them testers. Then when I started my legal internship with ZulRafique & Partners, I told myself, I was not going to stop approaching cafes. I'll bring a box of cookie jars as samples into my car to work and approached cafes after work, so sometimes I'll be back home at about 10PM. My amazing mum would be busy baking the cookies whilst I was doing the usual 9-5PM. Then on the weekends, me and mum would go 'cafe-hunting' together.
Oh I will always remember the times I got lost in KL driving after work. I didn't have mobile data since my stay in KL was only a couple of months over Summer Break. I got so lost driving that I even got from Central KL to Ampang just to get back to Subang Jaya and arrived home at 11.30PM. Came back home and told mum the exhausting story and she went like 'Ya Allaaaaah', just cause she's an expert KL driver (Also cause I missed our family dinner that night). Luckily I had extra cookie jars that I could eat just cause I was stressed up driving phewwww (hehehe, so now you know where most of the samples went to ma, my tummy). Although, in my defence it was just one jar, I think. Hahaha.
And the times I checked my mum's handbag just to make sure she had a jar of samples in her bag every time before she heads out, just cause I carry a jar of cookies everywhere I go. Mum would check up on me as well, cause you'll never know when opportunity comes riight ? Hehehe
Anyways, back to the title of the post, yes, we will be on television insyaAllah, in a month's time.
