Yes..it has been a while since I last wrote something. A lot has been happening and it has kept me busy. Nope..I have not fine a job yet..unfortunately, therefore, that is not why I am busy lately. I just started a new hobby...yes..gardening & landscaping. But that is not what I want to talk about here today.
What I want to share with you today is about our homestay. When I mentioned 'our' that will be my familia. Yes..finally the project is up & going. Of course, we are currently doing the pilot testing with our first customer from Australia. So far so good and customer is very satisfied. Post-mortem is done and of course, there are some improvement need to be done as well. But it's ok as that is just part and puzzle of running your own business yeah?
Anyway, why homestay. The idea came to me few years ago. You see..I love to travel and I have been traveling to various countries all over the world. When I am traveling, I prefer to stay in a budget inn/hotel or lodging that is run by charity organization. This is because I don't really stay in my room. All I need is a safe room to leave my personal belonging while I tour the city and safe enough for me to sleep well after a long day of sight seeing. And of course, clean from any kind of unwanted night visitor such as rats..ants..cockroaches...dan yang sewaktu dengan nya. And when you stay at these places, you get to know the workers and owner as they always around..ready to mingle with their customers. Plus, mostly budget inn/homestay are pretty basic. No fancy mancy furniture/equipment/rules...and it feel more homey. It's like home away from home. Well, I do have my share of bad stay before but very seldom.
After a while the idea came to my head & I had a conversation about it with my brother. Having working in the hotel line, I guess I can used his experience to manage the 'project'. The idea just keep growing on us I guess and then my other sister also join in the discussion and walaaaa...what do you know...as per last weekend, we officially welcoming our first customer. I am super excited as I can see that it could lead to something bigger!! I could see myself running this homestay thingy together with my baking business. Ahh...what a bliss. Doing two thing I like to do most..baking & entertaining....that's what I call enjoying life.
Picture?? I will update in my next entry. Tungguuuuu....
