YOU ARE INVITED TO DOUBLE A!

I can't believe Double A is almost a year now! If it's a little baby girl, it has probably started walking awkwardly by now :')

I must say the past one year has taught me so so so much that no paid job could ever give me. The struggles of growing a brand that nobody knew of, no one has heard of and really, just trying to build it up from scratch. We had our good times, we had out challenging times. 

The one thing that has made me learn so much was indeed the whole process of managing people. Working in a place where I have a great team dynamic and good chemistry, you'd think it would be easy to re-create that in a new business. But truth be told, unless it is your company, everyone is really just there for the money. One thing that you'd have to do is to make sure you have a goal and target that you want to achieve and make sure you focus and stay on course or otherwise the struggle would consume you overnight. 

Well, we survived a year without killing each other so that's good right? Phew! Hehe!

This year, to celebrate Double A's first birthday we wanted to do something a little different and give it back to a charity. So we're planning a charity bake sale this Sunday for everyone! All our previous/existing suppliers are joining hands to deliver cakes onto our counter for all our customers. HOW AMAZING IS THAT!

12 different bakers with almost 30 different types of cakes on the counter this Sunday, it'll be the biggest partnership we have had so far! BE. EXCITED!

All the day's proceeds will be channeled to Red Bubbles (click here!) :)

So come on over to Double A this Sunday everyone!

10am - 11pm!

God sent

They say rough times don't last, neither do good, great times.

A few years back, I met a person who had probably influenced me in so many ways. In so many good ways. To be a greater person, to always be kind, to always be calm, to never miss prayers, to stay very very humble, to put family first at all times and to always remember Him in everything that you do.

He probably does not know that he had influenced me in such a big way (even Aiman feels so!), but I guess in a way God may have made us crossed paths so that he could rub off these great traits that I should have scrambled to master. Why I say 'should have' was because I never thought God would end that great time unexpectedly.

If there is ONE thing that I am really bad at, is to learn to let go off people I've come to enjoy being around. In a way, I feel very very blessed and thankful for being given the opportunity to have met such a great person :)

Most people say we will always see them again, but let's be honest, I once said the same about my colleagues back in the London office, but who are we to kid. We've all definitely got our own lives to get through with, it would be pretty difficult once everyone has their own schedules to attend to :)
