Last Saturday, my 'sifu' asked me if I'm interested to take over a flower shop in Kota Damansara. The owner is labeling the price at a whopping RM45,000! I'm not sure if that's the market price, but that figure is pretty HUGE for me. The shop is half of a shop lot, monthly rental RM2,500, with 2 fridges, air-conditioners and basic stuff for running a flower shop. Sounds good to be true, I don't think I have the guts to take and run a shop on my own yet.... not now....... not that soon.
Yes.... my dream is to own a flower shop, running my little business out of my passion. The saying says: If we're doing things that we like and passionate about, we won't feel it's a work. I also have this crazy dream of having a flower shop like in a countryside setting, say like New Zealand or Perth, where the weather is so different from here, have huge area filled with lovely grass against a crystal clear blue sky! Aahhh..... I can smell the lovely scent of grass and flowers filling the air! Bliss!
I hope I can really own a flower shop one day, say in 5 years or more down the road. My plan now is to work as a florist, learning as much as I can and gaining the necessary skills. I hope I can meet a good boss who will teach and guide me on becoming a successful florist, or perhaps become business partners ha!
By the way, read an article in The Star last week, baker and floral assistant are among the few popular jobs for retiree. Wow! I never knew this..... but lucky enough I have interest in these 2 jobs!
This year will be a year where I need to fulfill things that I wanted to do and try for so long. Besides finishing my flower course soon, I'm eyeing on baking (special interest on bread) and photography classes as well. Ahhh, not to forget to watch my spending – need to save for Perth trip coming October. Ohh, can I just stay on in Perth and no need to fly back? How I wish I can do so!
