32 Days Exhibition : Day 18

OH NO! tomorrow we are going to change into new theme, and well, we are not yet getting things we wanted. Somehow we did, but let's see how the new vendor does their magic into our 3 x 3 m booth and the height has to be below 150cm! so let's see how it goes tonight. This time, the theme will be vintage and kiddish, hope her imagination matches Grumpy's knowing I've no sense of art :D! I'm not born naturally as an artistic person but I'm learning :')

It's such a PERFECT Friday for us although we were rushing through deadlines.  We were going in two different directions and thanks to my friend, Mega, who came over right away after she finished her work and eventually, drove me to my printing place and waited for a while there too , thank you so much! Everything is all about getting things done properly to make sure the gallery runs well. 

While me , mega and dede was laughing in the booth, out of no where, my cousin whom i called bro, came with his secretary. I was like "OMG", I'm amazed. I got a feeling that he would had come today and i was right lol , he came. I was exaggerating the conversation, made it long so that grumpy would came and met him. I thought I delivered my message but i forgot to press the "send" button! but I guess, what meant to happen, it'll happen. And before my bro went, Mr. Grumpy came and finally they met for the first time and had some conversation on going which I had no idea what lol - men talks :'-)

Then, while both of them were talking, local celebrity family came and he introduces us to them which made us flattered. Praised the LORD for this awesome moment and yeah Grumpy and dede took pictures with them too *they were too eager & i was holding on to my pride, but seriously I wanted but not feeling comfortable because they were really (super) excited LOL!

It was another fun day and three of us went for dinner left mega in the booth. thank you so much dear, for took care of our booth for an hour. It's great to actually go for food together as a team and the menu is still the same "Noodles with Meatballs and Satay!" The satay is totally awesome, too delicious!

Today's lesson at the booth : bring your friend to entertain you and be silly lol 

32 Days Exhibition : Day 17

Today is Grumpy's time to take care the booth by himself throughout most of the day since I stuck in the printing company for hours. I came like the sales guy told me too but not long afterwards, he said he had to go for lunch, so I decided to just go for lunch too. I had my lunch at "Soto Pak Saidi" nearby the area and it's sucks! Me and friends used to eat in here back in university time but the ones at the main branch taste better and cheaper too.

Nothing much to tell about in today's exhibition since most of time I'm not around & I spent the rest of the time writing the previous journal only :D! Sometimes in a life, we just happen NOT to learn anything :-)

32 Days Exhibition : Day 8

It becomes a habit that I started my morning drinking Grumpy's yummiest milk tea and it did make me happy - totally brighten my day. After one week, I can feel that the body is just breaking slowly, starting with the random flu and constantly needing more hours to sleep! Goodness me, bunch of people came again to my booth and they were asking how much our furniture costs which its get into my nerves a lot! feel like just putting the "NO-SALE" sign in the chair but I guess, it's quite rude, hey? I mean there's a "photo booth" sign yet people kept pushing us to sell. I wonder, how much great money can we get from selling the furniture instead of the photo-booth? ha-ha-ha-ha! Great job to the decorators, love on how they chose the vintage classy kinds but not really for what its offers. I feel it's better to just buy them rather than to pay for the rent as the price wont be that much different (we predicted =p)

As, I also park my car all the time almost the same place where our entrance is actually get out from Ten-Ten, restaurant, I decided to try. Out of big curiosity, I'm somehow regretting it. I ordered "Chicken Katsu with Curry" and oh deary dear - in a big disappointment that their curry is actually using "powder" rather than spice and call me mean but  I wrote in their comment box that DO NOT use Curry powder or else the taste would be great. I don't know why am I being too picky for food.

Anyway I knew today is just going to be a perfect day as even before we were fully opened our stands, there is this kind lady and friendly man who were asking about the photo-booth and that's how the day started with a big smile in our faces! And the rest of the day is an epic, friends and potential clients are endless kept coming to our booth until 9 pm and we were happy but exhausted.

Throughout the whole day, I kept listening to the same old song and it's called "Home" from Philip Philips, the American Idol's winner and totally in love. I do listen to it a lot but after I turned it so loud in my headset for the first time, I ended up loving it! And guess what make me in love with it even more? As I'm listening to this song, I'm seeing his grumpy face and feeling so blessed to have him around.

While I was writing this blog, I remembered something generous I did few days before EID and that was charity. There's this rubbish picker family in my area whom I adored. You can see how happy they are together, even the kids have to sleep in the cart while the parents in the street. Often, I saw one of the kids were studying inside of the cart while the parents pushing it! It touches my heart and indeed, they deserve every penny I gave to them. And the "chuckles" of their kids kept running in my mind whenever I remembered them. So I gave the money to the father around 11 pm and after he opened, the kids saw and they were overjoyed. I even feel like capturing their family photo now and print it; how wonderful it would be.

The lesson I learnt today : there are many moments when the LORD make your day is just PERFECT and this kind of day is the moment where you need to share your love and joy even more. Remembering what I had to go through yesterday with that client, I'm sure today is HIS rewards toward me being a good girl.

32 Days Exhibition : Day 7

When I wrote the number "7", i thought i was dreaming (sarcastic way of saying :p)! OMG, I thought we had been around for 2 weeks or even more knowing some days went very slow. Anyway, the mall is opened and  i decided to drive. My sweetest Mr. Grumpy made me his secret tea recipe and goodness me, i wish he knew how happy i was! i really love his tea and really drinking tea in the morning is what I love to do before going to work. I'm not a coffee lover, not that I don't like it , I do enjoy drinking it, but coffee never was in my 1st choice of beverage even my body is freezing. The rumor says drinking coffee makes you awake all night but even i drank them at night, I still able to sleep like usual LOL! Oh, I'm a fast sleeper, leave me for 5 minutes and often, in less than 5 minutes, you can hear me singing some sexy tunes ;)

I spent my whole time today, sitting in front of the laptop, sent email, edited photos rather greeting clients and i found a lot of joy in doing so! It felt good and proud of him that nowadays, he plays a role as marketing rather than owner and the way he pursue the people have changed into a lot friendlier ways. It's good for his big improvement and i can rely on him as marketing now. Previously, he acted too "snob" as a marketing, the way he presented himself, the way he talked sound really too proudy and its such a turn off. I know, he shows people how confidence he is but often, he forgets that people like "soft approaching". At least with the Indonesians, you can not just be so over-confident.

One experience I never forgotten as marketing happened today. Have you ever been in a mall, for the same place, doing an exhibition with 3 different music playing? This is what happened with us, there's a loud music comes from Kids station, one comes from the carousel, and the management also playing the music too and often its hard to concentrate. The traffic is heavily noisy, the train noises, 3 different music is playing (+ I'm also using headset to divert my mind), kids screaming and a client came. So she came to our booth and I swore I heard she said " photo-booth", instead "photo book". Isn't photo book called album and how many people called Album as photo-book ? So I explained her about the photo-booth and she was actually angry with me and yelled "BOOK" not booth but not in a proper way. Instead of smiling and accepting my apology, she was yelling at me even more as if we were having exhibition at the market while I kept apologizing. 

Then she asked me "how long this paper last for?" I said "around 1 or 2 years or even more", then she said "EXACTLY when", I said  "I don't know much about paper, let me give to my fiance for more details". Honestly, how can we know "HOW LONG EXACTLY" the album last for because it's all depending on how she takes care of the albums, right? The truth, I'm pissed, it hurts, I wanted to yell to her but I decided to just continue what I'm doing (sending mail) and I'm glad I did that.

This is my worst experience as a marketing so far but I thank the LORD that I could controlled my anger knowing I'm very short-temper person. Today, bunch of friends came also and we felt so honored - they were constantly kept coming to our booth for quick greeting and some brought us food too! We really felt so much love from so many unexpected lovely people even family too. The LORD is glorious.

I'm not sure what I learnt about today apart from had bad experience, but apart from that, today's life is great! Fully busy with works (emails), serving clients, shared lots of laughter with friends , and the most our friends give their warmest blessings toward us! Thank you so much and the best tips to have a great day is to FORGET the bad and REMEMBER the goods!

32 Days Exhibition : Day 6

Finally, EID has arrived as well as my brother from different mother's birthday too today, so yes, today is such an awesome day for me and grumpy! Personally, i wish i could had done more, and I swore i wish i cooked for him in this EID but he said no, so instead we decided to celebrate EID and birthday party together and it was a couple date but perfect date! Anyway, I'm so sorry Grumpy that I couldn't got you anything neither knew what to do/cook but I think he also had a good day too! Grumpy did go to Mesjid Istiqal (the biggest Mesjid and most happening in Jakarta) early in the morning and I really am happy for him! He was excited the past few days wanted to just look "perfect" in his 1st EID but I knew, how much he missed his family too. A though decision he made and next year, we shall celebrate them together with the family :)

I thought the road would be so empty like it previous years, but i guess, I got it wrong! it was a bit traffic as in fact. We roamed around here and there, was supposed to bring him to eat at Senayan but I'm very smart lady as I spent time more in the road taking wrong turns and still very proud of it. Passed through SCBD, Central Business District area and I have always curious about this beautiful Mesjid but never see the entrance so we decided to ask how to get there. Quite embarrassed but both of us wanted to see and we were like "is it for public?" because it is inside of the POLICE OFFICE, but since Mr. Grumpy gave his grumpiest face then I've to show my sweetest smile to the police officers too ha-ha-ha-ha.

Thank the LORD and those polices, who let us captured this beautiful Mesjid inside of the central police office. Check out the photos which I took and I think we were just very lucky to be given the chance to get inside of this beautiful Mesjid. And I took these photos using NEX-7 and I've been using it a lot, nowadays, as in fact, I forgot on how to use my 5DMKII, it's like I'm finding a new joy by using NEX-7 and of course this one I'm messing around by using MANUAL which I barely do nowadays ha-ha-ha-ha!!

Here is just the awesome double date session and photos I took in this beautiful day. And there was NO work today since the mall is closed. However, I did get a lesson today that " the best thing to do when you have free time from work is to hang out with your friends and FORGET work!" Refresh your mind and spend some great quality time with the best people. Your best people worth for your time, right? and even just hang out with your friends for a quick chit-chat will be such a great refreshing! That is what happened with both of us today, we were so excited and exhausted by just having fun!

 

Thank you so much LORD for such an awesome day I had today ; exhausted with overloaded fun! It had been forever since the last time we had such a relaxing day ever and tomorrow and until the 16th, we are so ready for work. Thank you Suresh and Era for such a wonderful day and great food. Our best wishes for you, bro, and we are looking forward for the wedding bell. And me and grumpy really loves this picture of us, a lot!

32 Days Exhibition : Day 5

Oh no! 1 more day to EID and I still have no idea on what to give to Grumpy! I let him roam around throughout the whole mall today for new clothes. Poor him, he had to go to Grand Indonesia. Today is actually EID in Hongkong & China, while tomorrow will be in Indonesia and surroundings, while in India and Pakistan, it will be on Sunday. The traffic was not too long and we were not that excited in working neither. I guess we must be very tired and we decided to watch "Ek Tha Tiger" after work.

We had lunch at Fat burger again and felt another blessing that few clients and friends came along to our booth, GOD Bless each of them. But what surprised me more is when you have "least" expectation, "great" thing comes along. Today, the booth wasn't like the usual weekend sensation but, we got an offered for a long-term deal for something but the meeting will be done after the holiday session is done. Apart from that, we will also giving our proposal for some partnership and looking forward for the great respond. Looking forward for the great news after the holiday session and mood is over.

You know, money matters when you are doing business but so does pleasure! True, the income did not run well today, totally beyond our expectation ( neither close to a bit), however, me and Fer is just enjoying ourself. We were just you know laughing and decided not to think as work but more like meeting. When you least your expectation and release all your burden by being happy, unexpected great thing comes to you in funny way! and this is the lesson I learnt today - To keep loving what you do, to keep enjoying your boredom and to keep saying thank you! All you need to do is just relax, believing, doing your best and HE does HIS.

Anyway, knowing tomorrow will be (officially) EID, lot of shops closed even before 8 , so we also decided to take an early off. Grumpy were keep telling the scarf he saw and wanted to buy! In the afternoon, we decided to watch Ek Tha Tiger and thought we have made a wrong decision by chosen the last show at 21.15. And gosh! it turned up to be the best decision ever. But we had to wait for like more than an hour for the show since we closed a lot earlier and we did find the scarf. Knowing I'm kinda hungry, felt like just feeding my tummy with some warm food, we decided to have quick dinner.

Everywhere in the basement were closed but i was torn between The Soup Spoon and Carls Jr. The Soup Spoon in Indonesia sucks big time, the taste becomes too weird, not as tasty nor fresh or delicious as the ones I always have at Singapore. I love their Pumpkin soup a lot and Chicken Tikka but the Indonesian version is just tasteless, for the sake of making my tummy warm, I chose " Beef Gaulas" with Lemon cupcake and Ice Lemon tea as my very late dinner. The soup is huge so me and grumpy shared but I always ate more while I'm amazed with the cupcake! Their cupcake is really good although you couldn't taste the lemon, but the cream and the cake is worth for the penny.

And just like I said , the latest show was the best decision we took even we regretted them at first. It was almost 12 and I had to pass the Bunderan HI to go home. The traffic was alright but it look too massive and we saw the fireworks so close from the car and hats off to the police, they were so brave and empty the space for cars to move. So it look like heavy traffic but it was just not that horrible. so i took random photos while I was driving and this is our first (almost mine) celebrated EID together in Indonesia. So I really have no idea where to see the happening places.

Tomorrow, Grumpy decided to go to Mesjid Istiqal for the prayer and I'm still lost on what to do for him tomorrow. I'm so sorry grumpy for not preparing anything for EID knowing we are just fully occupied over the exhibition. I'm also as sad as he does, knowing we can not gathered with the rest of the family in this year Eid but next year, we will :)

32 Days Exhibition : Day 4

August is an independence month! As for me, I'm officially turned 28 and don't worry, I love getting older. Happy Independence day to Singapore (9th), Pakistan (14th), India (15th ) and now, it's Indonesia!  Happy 67th independence day, Indonesia and happy to announce, we are working. I forgot when did the last time that I actually celebrated them and playing those same-old-unchanged-games since we were a kid? I don't even know whether the A+ and B+ society are still doing it because I barely seen then. Indonesia has got its world-wide independence declaration yet the racism and religion issue in society is getting stronger year by year and instead of getting better, we are getting worst - our mentality has become weaker and infected easily with the viruses from media and politicians. Nowadays, everyone can be easily bribed and their dignity is priceless. Those who stood up for the truth, had always ended up joining with others (supporting others) rather than be an individual fighter and make their own group! It is the collaboration because of mutual understanding or collaboration because its financially profitable and to gain more popularity nationally and internationally?

Do I proud of being an Indonesian? the truth, I don't feel like I'm Indonesian as we are losing the touch of our own cultures as everything (including the food, the way we dress) has been so westernized and modernized. It's hard to just find the old classic food that I used to eat when I was a kid nor even finding a suburb where it was as comfortable, as safe as it were 24 years ago. Today, we become too individualists and care so much lesser towards our surroundings. When I was kid,  my parents and I knew our neighbor and the kids played together at 4pm or 4.30pm! In today's world, we do not even know who is living next to us and even if we do, it will just be "name, their job, hi and bye", nothing else and wait, when they are not in our level, we make gossip and stop saying hello!

And for my parents, they have seen the changes since the day they were born. They are the living witnesses who saw Indonesia before the nation gained its freedom - they were there when Indonesia were at war, from being invaded by the dutch to be where the nation is, at this moment. As in fact, my mom and family were there,  witnessing with her own eyes, saw Bandung from being bombed. 

Anyway, this week is such a gift week for me, after grumpy brought me a sexy blue bag! and this time, Ferdinan came with a bag of 2 boxes of chocolates and oh, it's Doraemon chocolates! I was in awe and felt so overjoyed. Thank you so much for the chocolates and yes, I have to control them! The mall was quite hectic today and few clients who have become our friends came over, felt so blessed.

What lesson did I learn today? I think I learnt about "gift and being gifted". I don't know why this lesson randomly pop in my head while I'm writing but I'm telling you why. One of our photo-booth customers came with the whole family and the little brother is different but the love from the parents and sister made him very lucky! This "extra" ordinary boy really spread so much love to his surrounding even we felt the happiness vibration while all of them are waiting for their photos to be printed. He reminds me to our previous client, a girl, with one arm but her smile lighten everyone's face. 

Personally, looking at them make me very sad, thinking about their future. I never say "disability" creates disadvantage but i know the LORD have something awesome for each of them. Mom always told me " No human is dumb unless they have mental problem" , but as time passed and I have seen that those who have more imperfections in them whether its mentally and physically have an amazing purpose in this life. And it's really amazing on how proud their parents are and make them live normally. and kids are the LORD's gift to the parents and what are the gifts they bring int their parents life, will be answered later when they are grown up.

I never pity people with disability (unless they are lazy), as in fact, most of them are living happier with high appreciation towards every little thing happens in their life. It is not their fault to be born imperfect, but it is the parents' and society's duty to make them being accepted and treated normally. What matter is that they accept themselves as who they are, the physical and mental weakness they have but never give up in living the life they are given. You can always end your life easily but don't forget what your parents have done since you were born to keep you alive and giving the best they can for their happiness.

As a kid, we are our parents' gift and being their gift, we have to remember that despite how hard life is, with or without them, we have to be strong, living to the fullest and appreciated yourself because we are made for HIS purpose and we have to become how HE wants us to give so appreciate your life as it is a gift for you!

32 Days Exhibition : Day 3

Today, there's a story that really (seriously) touched my heart so bad. It's made me feel so sad that today's kids have more time to spend with friends than their parents, spent their time on their phones, chatting, taking pictures with friends, themselves BUT not with their family. Yes, I'm not close (that bonding) with my parents but today's kids are getting worst. Although I never raised in a family where spending time together matters yet when I got back home, I still spent a bit of time to talk with mom randomly. Ever since I ran this kids photography business together with Grumpy, I spent less time at home and lesser time to talk when I'm doing exhibition BUT I still did spend 5 - 10 minutes time to greet, to chat and even to just wait until mom finished her food. Dad? well dad is old so mostly he just watched movie nothing else, less attentions to us. And same goes with Grumpy, he still spent some time messaging his brothers and called the family in the morning few times a week.

so, today's lesson : FAMILY TIME is VERY IMPORTANT! There is a family who took picture at our booth and we never met before (usually, there are some clients who coming back :)) So what happened is that the mother is randomly uttered her grudges, in front of me while she was waiting for the photos to be transferred and printed. It's really sad knowing the fact that nowadays, the majority of youngsters grow up not with the parents / family but with technology and friends. The mother said  to me that " It's hard to take a family picture together and the younger one doesn't like his pictures to be taken". But the point is that I guess they do not have lots of family photos together maybe only few or perhaps the one, I took is their first family picture in a month or a year? You know, when we are teenies, I suggest you to spend more time with the family or even do grounded yourself, just waste one of your precious days by just staying at home. Or you know, just come home earlier or go late from home (after lunch time). Believe me, although you get bored, doing nothing but just make sure you are available in one of the weekends. 

Do you know that, just for a quick dinner/lunch time together with your parents are very important. Why? because as your university life starts, follows by the working life, your time to spend with the family is even lesser than ever. After university, continues with work, then continues with marriage life! If you have no time to spend with your family when you are in high school or first year of university, how can you have time to spend with them when you are working and married? 

Don't worry about your phone and friends, they won't go anywhere! Believe me, a lot of time, I wanted to throw my BB away, ignoring everything about work but often I couldn't especially when clients are asking stuff. However, I do ignore those who talk for random chats, I will be giving late answer. Not because I'm busy, but I see as spending time with Grumpy and Parents are often better even for just 10 minutes "non-sense talks". 

I'm proudly say, I'm very happy in living and grown up as someone who was born in the early 80's where technology were not controlling our life nor influenced our life-style. I'm happy to grow up in the environment where "meeting people", "playing with your neighbors", and being active in the evening so we could get the fresh air and saw the beautiful yellow sky at sunset! 

I grew up in the family where both of my parents did not spend enough time for me instead of me did not have time for them. So raised up in the years where I was growing up is such a big advantage both for the parents and myself because in that time, the technology was a part of our life to help us living in better life but in today's world, technology overruled people's life and make them a slave instead of a user :)

This is the lesson I've learnt today and believe me, just spent 1 minute or less to take ONE PHOTO with your whole family every month is very important. And thank you LORD for given us an opportunity to frame her family and give her and family a memory to remember and If only the kids understand how much joy their parents  felt on that time. The best way to make your parents happy is not just seeing you being successful, being in the right path of life but also "spending time" with time preciously even it is just quick ones but it make them feel happy and proud. 

I captured this photo randomly as i found this really cute! Look at the boys and parents. The father could had gone outside; but instead, he stayed and helping the youngest one to choose his toys! While the big bro, is giving his support and his mom is giving him more option in which game to choose. For me, this random photo is very simple, yet, you can feel the family bonding :)

32 Days Exhibition : Day 2

We felt so honored today, seriously honored.

After had an awesome night where I finally able to sleep so well, in the 2nd day, we realized so much loved from our friends. I mean, (seriously), I never thought, I have so much loved from the surroundings! and praised the LORD for this awesome people in our circle.

The management staff came for a visit,  my old friend from university and my best friend's sister (along with her friends) came for a visit at our booth. My friend who I think as my sister came along with her friend and we went for lunch as well as talking about business for our next exhibition at their event. And it's an official that in October we will be doing another photo-booth exhibition and hope for the best. September, October, and November, we will be having an exhibition and looking forward for it :)

Its been forever since I had Sushi Tei and gosh, it was such a good lunch knowing I was hungry but its great, spent some moments with friends too. Time really flew so fast when you are doing exhibition although we were doing nothing. Had no idea what to do apart from promoting and sitting in front of the computer most of time. I brought Famous Amos cookies and it was good! The worst thing in doing exhibition in here is that you have to smell Famous Amos's cookies every time and who can resist this temptation! for a person who is a food lover, it's a big big big yes to buy LOL!

Then after office hours, friends came for a visit and we were really overjoyed and honored. Its' awesome to be visited by your friends even if its only for just 5 minutes, it's really an honor! Totally feel so grateful to be visited and of course, we love it when our booth is full of laughter and people making funny expressions. Its really good, the happiness in their faces.

The traffic today was just alright, same experiences as people really think we were selling all the furniture and all that. One of a random tourist, ran to our booth and was really in a hurry but kept asking "how much for the painting", his ascent is more like Japanese, so it took a while for Grumpy to understand. He kept insisting us to sell and now, seriously, thinking we need to start to do some selling ha-ha-ha!!!

And at night before we went home, we decided to go for food at Indomie Bang Ade, the most famous ones and yes, we did wait for so long for the food! Tania and Grumpy's food was too spicy so basically, they did not enjoy theirs even they were hungry, while me? well lucky me, I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I'm saved and totally pampered my tummy very well , love my supper =D!

Today's lesson for me is "honored". life is tough but friends lighten your burden. Most may never know how you exactly feel nor understand the deepest thought/feeling of yours, but spending few minutes of your time is really make you feel and live in different and better world. Those who doesn't know your burden will even brighten your days! so, if you are stress, take all your worries by going out with friends and let yourself free and entertained by their presences. Thank you so much our dearest friends who came and visited at our booth and we felt so honored. Our 2nd day ended with big smiles at our faces because we felt blessed and honored by our friends, thank you :)

32 Days Exhibition : Day 1

14th of August is our first day at the exhibition and well guess what happened on the first day? like, seriously on our first day! all things came late and the crap thing, we slept only for few hours and went from home at 7 am only to find out that people whom we supposed to meet came after lunch time, gee! Our patience were heavily tested and our face were really grumpy, sleepy and hungry too LOL. We were bringing heavy stuff with taxi since my driver weren't able to wake up at 7 am after went back home at 2 am (loading the stuff).

I started my day in Starbucks while Grumpy waiting at our booth, alone in the dark and the worst, terribly hot! The air con were off until 10 am. The Caramel Chocolate with 2 doughnuts as the starters were just too good, it made me felt better and yet the boredom are starting to hit. Okay, many things went so wrong, precisely not on time!

1. The electricity wasn't on until 11am. It never happen so we were totally in big panic when it got turned on at 11! poor the lady whom I was bugging, I had to bug her in the morning when herself slept late.
2. Our printer that gave so much troubles were not yet fixed and the guy said, he would sent his guy at 10 am but well, it's Indonesia. what would we do without printer? i mean seriously, we are doing Photo-Booth! So the guy came at 1pm and we were pissed but anyway, he thought me some stuff and thank the LORD, it all went good at the end.
3. Flowers Props! As you know, we made "vintage" at the theme and decided to use some flower touches in between! like Flowers thrones, flower buckets and the flowers went too late. Instead at 11 am, it came at 2 and Grumpy was so pissed because of course we didn't bring our other props!!! I mean we knew we wanted girly kind of stuff for this photo-booth!
4. Bunch of people came to our booth and instead asked about photo-booth or our other services, they came and asked prices for the props! Seriously, selling them would be an awesome decision to make, couldn't believe how much money we could get LOL!!
5. the booth was totally EMPTY no one took a picture and goodness me.
   
   Lesson I learnt : boredom kills ha-ha-ha!

32 Days Exhibition : Introduction!

Okay! finally, I'm starting to write about my 32 day experiences of doing an exhibition for my Kids' Photography business. I had no idea why I (we) decided to take 1 month deal but having the exhibition at this place is totally worth it (we are hitting the right Target Market). But what I didn't know nor i ever realized is the amazing story that each day stored. Previously, whenever I did an exhibition in here, I barely found something wow but this time, each day, i learnt something - from meeting new people, boredom I have to go through, finding new favorite food, funny experiences, felt the LORD's blessing and the most, some clients are actually sharing their grudges too. And this kind experiences touched my heart and make me decided to write about it. 

It's like I'm playing lot of roles from being photographer, marketing, listener, daughter, wife-to-be and sometimes became listener too. I recommend you to keep following me, my experiences and maybe you can learn something out of it too. And about my booth, it's really amazingly beautiful booth that since the first day we opened, many thought we are selling the furniture! Such an honor to get compliment of its beauty too and this can't be done without the decorators who made Mr, Grumpy's imagination looks pretty too. 

We are so proud and glad everyone really in love with our vintage even there was this Chinese tourist who ran off from the other side for the sake of asking about the Paris's photo frame! You just have to gotta agree with them!
