Needs and Wants

Finally stepped into a mall today. To be more specific, it was One Utama (OU).
It felt like a completely foreign place to me. So many new shops, the layout has changed and many more.
I do go to OU but normally I park at a specific area and head to just that particular shop and am done.

Since, Aizat and I some spare time and he needs to get a few items.
We decided to walk about.

Passed by many of my favourite brands and they were all on sale. I know I need many new things or is it my personal want? Am getting a bit confuse here.
Walked in, touched the pretty clothes, flipped the price and place it to its original place and finally walk out empty handed.

I’ve been like this for a while now. Always thinking in my head “What if…”. Often worrying about sudden urgent needs.

Take for instant, there’s this bag from Rabeanco. Priced at RM1000+. A basic black bowling bag with some silver studs. Oh my love for studs. I really really wanted it. The leather is uber soft and I know it can last me a few years. Despite my existing Nine West being torn and all. I put it back on the shelf.

Few months later, at the Zara store which is on sale. I saw a similar bag with no studs, slightly smaller but genuine leather too. Priced at say 15% of the Rabeanco bag. Did I buy it? No.

There’s other things in life that is more important. Handbags, shoes, clothes can wait. I need to start saving. I want to travel and I want a certain dream to come true.

But maybe, I do deserve something good in my life once in a while? No?

Btw, how exactly do we differentiate needs and wants? It ain’t that easy I must say.

Seemingly Perfect Lives

With so many blogs peeking into other people’s (seemingly perfect) lives constantly surrounding us, it’s easy to lose track of our own in the shuffle. Some people are born knowing what their path in life should be but for the rest of us, it isn’t that easy. Sometimes it takes more than a just dream — a mentor, a specialized education, money, a plan. When you do finally find the right path, everything else begins to unfold as it should. I took a few chances this year — the kind where you feel your stomach drop for a second and wonder, “What have I just done?” Those are the chances that make you feel alive though. I just kept repeatedly telling myself, “When you put yourself out there, great things usually happen” and I feel like I’m wrapping up the most fulfilling year yet (trust me, it wasn’t easy). If you’re unhappy or unfulfilled, It’s up to you to make that shift. Embrace what makes you unique instead of erasing it in the process. Put your best foot forward, let the entire world know what you want to do with your life and then conspire to make it happen. 2012 is right around the corner and it’s never too late to do what you love and love what you do.

To Marry Who?

A Hint of Ray

My second half of 2011 has been pretty shitty to be honest.

In all aspect. Family, finance, work, relationship, business and many more.

Been putting on a brave front simply to avoid people asking me about it. As much as my smile can lie, my weight was a give away. Damn!

Am very grateful for what I have so far but at times I wish God was much easier on me.

At the point of life where money is tight, there’s normally when you’d have to spend the most.

Last week for instance, I had a flat tire. A big ass tear in my front left wheel. What to do? Gotta change it. If that wasn’t enough, I had to do balancing, alignment and fix my chamber too. I could literally see dollar signs ($) floating above my head.

To add to it, my car decided to breakdown on me yesterday. Right after picking up a payment from the client’s. It died. Tried to switch it on but failed. Had to call a tow truck to get it to the mechanics. Sigh.

Finally and exciting new happened just about 11pm. An email from NYC.

jujuwiwitata’s will undergo a new project. Bringing in a certain brand from the States. We will be the stockiest in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

What’s the item? What’s the brand? Well all I can say is its a unisex product. I ain’t bias yo! Hehe.

Stay tuned for it. Wish me luck!

Oh yes, if you didn’t know. jujuwiwitata’s has gone through a minor revamp.

Hope you like the new logo. Do share on what you think of it. I love it as it’s typography. But do tell me what you think.

Importante

If it’s important, you’ll find a way. If it isn’t, you’ll find an excuse.

Q4

Quarter four of 2011 is definitely a challenge for me. Especially from the financial aspects.

So many things happening at one go.

1. My toothache needs to be fixed with a root canal and killing of the nerve.

2. My car is due for a new set of spark plugs and alignment.

3. Installments to pay.

4. To fix all my websites.

5. I now have cats to maintain. Trying to provide them with a healthy, fun and safe home ain’t so easy after all.

6. Friend’s birthdays.

7. In dire need of a new black handbag. My bag has died on me. Leather peeling off. Strap falling apart. To add to it, am very picky with my handbags.

8. Need to go to the skin specialist. Skin is acting up again. This must be due to stress.

9. Car needs a good wax as there are acid stains from the office parking lot.

10. My car needs a fresh coat of film.

The list goes on but you get the drift. Hoping to pull through.

Working hard to earn more. Come on now Juwita. Work harder.

I Know Now

I’ve gotten the answer that I’ve been seeking for awhile now.
I’ve to do this. It’s for the best of me.

Turning Point

“I found that every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear, specific, unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. Some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50 and most never make it at all.”
