Oh My Boutique - Part II - Oh My Back!

Alhamdulillah,

Ada kesempatan untuk menaip lagi dan bercerita pasal sejarah bukanya butik pengantin Red Ribbon Wedding Works ini...

Entry dan cerita sebelumnya ada kat sini:

Oh My Boutique - Part 1 - Oh My Bibik!

So selepas "sakitnya ku disini..." period tu, I realize...

Maybe, ini memang jalan yang mesti kulalui...

Ku ambil iktibar dan berusaha terus pandang ke depan, sbb pandang ke belakang kang terlanggar tiang, kah kah, memang kne pandang depan benda dah nak jadi...

Takkan plak xbagi bibik kahwin, sape la saya ni? Mak dia pon bukan...

So, bermula la edisi hectic bulan April 2014 tu.

April 2014 yang sangat memenatkan.

Memang dah plan lama dah nak buat bday party Rafi ke 2 taun 20 April 2014, jemputan dah disebar, family semua dah confirm nak datang, bajet dah flushed down the toilet har har...

Tapi bulan tu jugak kne mula mencari lokasi nak sewa butik.

Sempat tgk bajet, plan lagi, kalau dapat butik yang jauh (sebab cari yang harga murahh), sanggup la nak pindah rumah dalam 1 bulan tu jugak... Adessshh... rambut terus gugur tahap maksima.

Seri Kembangan, Subang Jaya, Puchong South, Puchong Kinrara, Puchong Jaya, dah berpusing2 mencari lokasi butik yang paling selesa dan dengan harga yang berpatutan.

Nak yang murah, mana la ada zaman sekaang yang murah.

Nak tingkat bawah? xyah bermimpi... sewa satu bulan RM 6000-10000 shoplot biasa jek!

Tabungan kat bank xbanyak, hari2 kne withdraw daripada sekian sekian sekian sampai la ZERO.

Itu je yang ada kat tangan.

Masa bday Rafi, masih boleh tersenyum lagi untuk buah hatiku yang manis, sebetulnya kepala ni macam benang kusut...

Hari-hari cakap ngan hubby "Nape ye, jadi macam nie?"

Tapi hari-hari juga cakap kat dia, "Mungkin ada hikmah disebalik semua ini..."

Ku berusaha kuat.

Sampai la finally we found our place!

Dari bajet utk sewa kedai RM500 (bermimpi la dpt harga camnie)

Naik terus ke RM750 (xpe la kalau ada orang nak share)

Pastu naik lagi jadi RM1000 (xnak share la, barang banyak, tapi mana la ada harga camnie...)

naik lagi

naik lagi

naik lagi...

sampai la dapat deal utk sewa kedai nie...

Naaah, map nye je ye...

Bayar nie tue, sewa la, deposit la... total habis 80% daripada our saving, ada 20% je untuk renovation...

Kedai tu kosoooong, with nothing, no lights, no tiles, no nothing!

Nak panggil orang renovate pasang ni tu memang xde bajet...

Alhamdulillah, sayangnya Allah ngan kita, my uncle siap nak datang KL tolong2 buat kerja2 renovation.

So, it was me, my hubby, my uncle, dan my bibik yang bertungkus lumus buat kerja2 tiap2 hari.

Pagi, siang, malam, my hubby akan tolong tiap2 habis balik keje.

TARGET LOCKED: 10 DAYS TO 1 MAY 2014

Owner bagi masuk 10 hari lagi awal utk buat keje2 renovation nie, alhamdulillah...

Macam nie la keadaan hari2, duduk melepak buat keje2 bangunan.

My job mostly on kemas2, dan buat painting!

Hari2 penat, tapi semangat, demi menyiapkan kerja2.

Sedih juga sampai one day my baby boy jatuh sakit, kepenatan atau hari2 terkena habuk kot...

Nasib la ada my mom datang KL, boleh tolong tengok2an si comel ini...

Masa sewa kedai nie, this place is sooo huge... I cant imagine nak sewa kedai besar mcm nie...

Ingatkan nak kicik2 jer... Yer lah, bajet kecik je...

Tapi kalau tengok harga sewa kedai mahal2 (even kedai kecik)

Then you only top up for RM100-200 untuk dapatkan yang sangat besar, so why not amek yang nie je...

Since besar sangat, kne ada partition, untuk buat bilik, dan stor untuk barang2 pelamin.

Kan kan kan?

Tengok tu dinding partition yang biru2 saya yang cat tau!

Heheheh...

And that is my uncle yang sangat berbaik hati menolong saya...

Pelaburan utk my uncle: RM400 return flight ticket+all his expenses kat KL+belikan hadiah+oleh2 untuk anak istri+bagi duit peluh dia selama kat KL nih... = jauh lagi murah daripada hire pekerja.

Summore, if it's my own uncle, saya selesa buat kerja sama2 hari2 duduk kat butik.

Can't imagine kalau hire orang lain, ish, takut dan xselesa...

Half of butik tu dah letak karpet eventho masih belum fully siap.

Alhamdulillah rezeki, selama renovation nie adaaaa je customer datang.

So kat part yang dah berkarpet ni la, kitaorng duduk dan layan customer, dan baring2 kalau kepenatan :)

 

Exactly 10 days, my uncle kne balik Jakarta dah.

Kesian dia dah tinggalkan keje, bini, dan anak2...

Sedih jgk masa dia balik, apatah lagi masa tgk butik xsiap lagi...

He left me and my husband alone... kne siapkan butik ini berdua sahaja.

Ya Allah, kekuatan itu datang macam tu je...

We are helpless, tapi we are strong... 

Baki 20% saving kami dah habis untuk my uncle, beli barang2 bangunan, karpet, aircond, simen, dan lain2.

Badan rasa sakit2 selama almost 2 weeks buat kerja2 berat...

Oooohh my back so hurt!

Huhuhuhu

Masa tu,

Every single cents yang customer bayarkan kepada kami sangat bererti untuk penambah baik butik ini...

Almost dropping a tears when writing about it.

Alhamdulillah, Allah help us...

We keep on going, membeli sikit2 barang2 untuk keperluan butik.

Wait for my next and final chapter of this story :)

Jiwang di Pagi Hari : Dear Mr Red Ribbon... | 29 days left

Selamat pagi, Mr Red Ribbon...

Tengah busy ke kat ofis?

Minta maaf xbole tolong pindah rumah, sebab jauh, camne nak tolong?

Harap2 abang sewa lori tue bole tolong ek...

Tapi bagi tahu baik2 jangan sampai peluh dia menitik lagi cam hari tue me pindah...

Nanti almari tue berubah kaler jadi kuning dan berbau lagi :(

Kalau bole bagi dia tissue ke tuala kecik yer :D

Cian dia kan penat angkat2 barang...

Anyway Mr Red Ribbon...

The closer to the date the more scare I am.

Mungkin busy ngan all the preparation sampai terlupakan rasa2 dalam hati...

It's LESS THAN A MONTH left and I'm just too worried that... 

Kita tak bole satukan perbezaan...

I know it won't be that easy.

You grew up for 28 years in Malaysia.

And I grew up for 24 years in Indonesia (and another 6 years at Malaysia)

You spent your childhood, teenagehood, everything at an environment and place that most probably so much different with which environment I was in.

All these 2.5 years, I think we only can accept each other's differences for like only 10%, or less, i don't know...

Started from language differences...

Oh my... It's not as easy as it looks.

Especially when I'm mad, I can't think of some Malay words in that short period of time, so I'm just marah2 in Bahasa Indonesia, which probably you didn't understand.

Now you got to bear with it...

Sometimes I feel that it wasn't fair for me yang me selalu ada kat Malaysia,

I live your way, I eat your food (while you, sometimes doesn't wanna try my food), I spoke your language, I dress in baju kurung (even before I was a bit no no wearing baju kurung, now I like to wear it), I know many things from my experiences living in Malaysia.

And you? 

I was so happy to see (lately) you talking with my Indonesian friend, you spoke the language (even tho with some errors in it), and you eager to travel to Indonesia, get to know the culture, I like it.

Coz if not, I just feel so 'kecik hati'...

But understanding between both of us might not the only thing that matter.

It is the family also.

Sometimes ada rasa risau yang my family can accept you and your background, and your family can accept me and my background. This is sometimes even harder...

But so far I'm feeling okay with everything, just afraid it will turn out bad when something occured. Prays it will not.

We just need some strength...

And I mean what's written above.

Hope we can keep on trying to fully accept each other.

No problem in this world that can't be solved.

Talk, communicate, don't ever forget about it.

Don't make me feel like I'm your enemy until you hide so many things from me.

For the sake of reason: don't wanna fight.

No, no, no, we can solve everything and I'll be here as your very best friend forever :)

I don;t want you afraid of me.

I am not a MONSTER.

I am your cute lil kitten ready to love you :)

One more thing, you are now so far away...

And I'm kinda missing you...

Take care there :)

Tengah Malam, Sedih 100% Sedih 100% Sedih...

Some time ago, hampir sahaja me dah tak nak kenal lagi dengan 'cinta'. Had one boyfriend for 2 years then ended up just like that, then had another one for 3 years but I knew he's cheated on me (maybe the first one did the same thing) made me lose my trust on guys. WHY ALL GUYS SEEMS SO EASY TO HURT WOMAN'S FEELING? I always say to myself: Semua lelaki memang sama jer, buaya! But sometimes I told myself to stop thinking about it coz one day I might find someone that truly loving me. Not even a single second the guy will think about another girl.

I always wish I could find that special one. Coz for me, once I'm in love with someone, I will never find another guy anymore... 

Like yesterday I just met some friends of mine. One couple is getting married soon. They are engaged for more than a year already. Then she told me, once you engaged, you become THIS SCARED OF LOSING HIM. Thinking of texting him all day long, and keep on waiting for his reply coz if not you will straight away calling him asking "why you didn't reply me". A moment of building each other trust seems too hard to go through. But if both of them finally knows how to treat each other, how to manage the relationship, how TO NOT MAKING YOUR PARTNER WORRY SO MUCH, then everything will be as smooth as the river flows... One moment, I was in a silence. I think I won't be having that kind of worry over Mr Red Ribbon. I trust him so much. Ok, there was once or twice I was a bit suspicious on him coz I founded something I shouldn't have found, but I finally can accept his explanation. I was trying so hard to not be as negative thinking as before, and day by day I think everything is going better and better.

But, what will you do when you finally found something suspicious again? 

What do you feel?

Texting a girl friend that I know is not a problem.

Texting a girl regarding job or other important thing is okay.

Texting a girl just want to say "how are you?" and ask her out, could be okay if I can accept his explanation, maybe it's his old best friend I never met.

But texting that girl, ask her out, then deleted all reply messages from the girl. But forgot to delete the one in sent items is SUCH A SUSPICIOUS THING YOU DO!

Tahu rasa bernafas dalam lumpur?

You can't easily breath rite?

That's how I feel now...

I've been cheated for many times.

I'm just afraid once I feel like I've been cheated again, I HAVE A LOT OF BRAVENESS TO LEAVE HIM. And I'm serious with this.

Now I'm strong enough. Tak macam dulu yang banyak sangat fikir nak tinggal lelaki yang dah wat jahat ngan me. But now I feel like it's just an easy thing to do.

I won't care much anymore.

It's just too hurt for me.

Maaf boleh diberi.

Tapi luka hati tak bole diubati.

PS: So sorry to all, selalu ada session mencurahkan isi hati nie time tengah malam jer... Time tengah bersendiri dan sedih...
