Silence was Golden...

-Drafted in May 2010-

I sweared I would come back and blog some more after that February entry. I have been super busy sorting out my life. When I opened up my account just a few minutes ago, I found 36 unmoderated comments of which half I deleted because they were repetitive or spam.

I sense alot of negative vibes coming from a few acquaintance because of my long silence. I for one hate keeping people in the dark because I know how it feels like when I am kept in the dark. However for once, I hope for your understanding and hope I don't give the impression that I am arrogant or selfish for wanting to keep my decisions to myself before blasting it out on facebook or blogging about it. If you know me well, I am a thinker, I go to sleep thinking. So you must believe me when I tell you I do it for a purpose, and sometimes my silence is not meant to hurt you or keep things from you but simply because I am not ready to tell. I have these tendency to be over concerned about everyone's emotions, I am afraid I don't have it in me to deal with everyone's whys? and whats!! at this point. What I forgot was this world is too small and Malaysia is smaller. And oh ya facebook... it may not be me that blast news around but someone else could be doing it for me and that someone could be friends with this group of acquantainces. Gone were the days that meeting up was the only way to catch up. FB is now the accepted way of keeping in touch even without actually saying a word or actually typing a word on their wall.

So what have I been up to and why I decided to be doing this. In March, I started my own Ice Cream Company (not related to the Company in Sabah). I have my own brand name and different recipes and flavours which my team perfected. We make Ice Creams from scratch. No use of premixes, artificial flavouring or colouring. We use only the finest natural ingredients and the best fresh milk from frisien cows you can find in Malaysia. The result of this is smooth, dense and creamy ice creams. So we call our product Artisan Ice Creams.


Now why did I decide to go into Ice Cream again?

1) making ice creams makes me happy.

2) it is a passion, I am excited to get to work every morning and feel immensely satisfied with what I have achieved in the evening.

3) there is no better reward when seeing how such a simple thing as ice cream made with love can make another person smile.


So right at that time when I left, after 2 weeks of doing nothing and finally getting a chance to really take a break after 3 years of working 7 days a week, I naturally wanted to go back into ice cream. There were few offers related to ice creams but in the end, I thought that I did not want the risk of repeating history, and if I were to go on to having my own ice cream business I should be in it alone. This way, I gladly take the blame for mistakes I make, I take all credit for achievements I have made and I have the luxury of working with people who truly care and share my vision.

After much thought and getting support from people closest to me I went back to the drawing board and I started planning a future.

There are times before this where I often feared that I would fail, but a person who has been a pillar in my life for the last couple of years promised me that things would be alright. If things didn't turn out well we will both make it ok together. I also believe that God is watching over me and somehow how rough things get, they always get better.

So thats what I am doing. Ice Cream... so whats the big deal right. Big deal is because I didn't let certain people know until I had 80% completed my business project. I love you all but please understand that it was something I had to do for myself without the help of anyone else. I already had the help of two of the people I love most and my God who has been good to me.

So Cheers! to the future and bigger things that are to come!
