What happens now?

This blog has been left in hiatus for a long time.  Not that we didnt pursue the business any longer but we had encountered a few hurdles and problems along the way.

Especially on the labour department part and then problems with the arrival of our tailors.

I ordered 2 tailors but both havent arrived yet.  Imagine its been 3 months!!  One employment agency promised to bring the tailor last November but no show until now.

The other tailor arrived but after a week decided to quit because she admitted she didnt have the right skill and experience to work as a tailor in Brunei. She told us the materials were too hard to sew.  Duh.. why she was willing to come and convinced everyone that she had the right skills and experiences to do the job, I have no idea.

So the agency needed a replacement for me which I suspected will take a few more weeks.

Very frustrated indeed.

In the meantime, we tried to get on with our life, and the business...  We started the business bit by bit.  We sell ladies materials and attires such as tudongs, shawls, pashminas and jubahs.  So far business was ok and I am glad Alhamdulilah.
