Goodbye 2016

Well, well, well... seems like a habit to me to write something by the end of the year. sums up everything in 1 post every year 😆.
So let see what has happened all this year.

1- Venturing into real business is not an easy job. Easy to get sales but to maintain the sales r difficult. I thought my business will be awesome n blooming when i open it in a so called Mall. Unfortunately, the mall has deceived all of the tenants and managed by a fool arrogant old manager!

2- The mall did not do what they promised to do. No promotion, no marketing, no effort at all to spend money to advertise their mall. During the opening, only tenant was there waiting for a ghost to come! Have u seen a MALL do their opening by doing NOTHING at all?? No sign or banner saying they r open, No music, No balloons, No activities and the best part NO CUSTOMER at all... cause NOBODY knows that place is open!! What an idiot right???

3- All tenant was pissed off. They questioned the manager and with proud he said, this is a new strategic way of business for a mall. Every mall is doing it now. WTF??? Malls will spend thousands and more to advertise to market to tell people in all sorts of media months before their opening, he thinks we all so stupid like him?

4- For few days, no customers coming except our customers cause we market on our own. Im surprised we got plenty of sales and customers coming almost everyday. just imagined if that mall is fully occupied and the marketing was right i can get higher sales.

5- For 2 months no effort from management besides blaming all the tenants for not doing our own marketing and blaming us dont know how to do our own business. He will do gis best to find ways to quarell with the tenants, to pissed of the tenants just to prove he is right cause he have more than 20 years of experience. i can tell his experienced is a shitty experienced as he cant even bring in customers and sales to that place, instead he drove all the tenants out from that mall. what an idiot.

6- worst it all, they dont have a CF! that place isnt safe n fit to get real CF from the authority! all of us can only received a temporary tred license because of that. because of that too 90% of tenants moved out. only 4 shop left till the end of contracts. including mine. we have very good sales, way higher than my target. the sales drop only after raya.

7- The fucked up stupid n rude manager makes me pissed of too. we argue mostly because of his stupidity. i refused to talk with him after that n straight away deal with the son's landlord. He was a nice boy, and very linient with tenant. I wish he's in charge earlier and probably all tenants will stay there. I did told him about his rude manager n told him to get rid of the problems, same with all the tenants left. Telling him the same thing. Well he did. im so glad. however its too late.. cause 90% tenants moved out, with an empty mall how do u expect new tenant wanna rent there when they know that place is dead.

8- i wait until my contract ends and moved to a bigger place near my house. Business is still too slow and i used lots of money for the new rental and moved out and renovation expenses. Im a bit worried about how its gonna be next year with the current economy situation... i really dont know how it goes.

9 - the freelance training job is pretty bad this year cause of limited budget by the government. 2 of my training was canceled. my savings are all gone. i was hoping to get business loan as soon as possible, or else i have to work or continue my PHD for my backup.

10- Its really a tension year. working non stop for few months.. no holiday, not enough sleep.. worsen my body n skin condition. getting fatter and lots of pimples too.

To be continued...
