A Year Has Pass


Suddenly I realized that it is more than a year that I have left the workforce with a steady income with a comfortable office. Now I am a different type of income earner, now my income is based on what people used to say ada kerja, ada gaji but the amount is not stable because today you might earn a lot but the next maybe less or nothing.
Previously when I am working in a company, you are not the boss but you are being bossed around with out any decision making required but now you are the boss who need to decide the direction of your business to generate income. Now I am responsible for all the decision that I make but sometimes the decision not a correct decision or the decision made too late. Not all decisions are correct but the decision in life never wrong but the outcome will be different based on the decision.

As a night market trader a.k.a. pasar malam trader any decision will determine the outcome of the income generation. GOD Willing, I will make another decision that will determine my income but will never know how long it can last hopefully much longer than my current product or my previous...

It is hard not easy as most people thought, most people with monthly income perceived that pasar malam trader had an easy life that the can sleep late then just relaxing at the pasar malam and still received money. The perception not just general people but some of my family members also have it but they are trying to under stand the market force that determined your income. In fact that if you are relaxing at the pasar malam than you are not receiving money and possibly losing due to the cost incurred such as petrol for your car to go to the pasar malam, the cleaning money for the rubbish left by the traders and also the petrol for the generator, these doesn’t include the unsold items for the food seller which can’t be kept for tomorrow… what a waste and loss. Lucky for me that I selling non food item currently but the demand non food items seasonal compare to food items because people need to eat.... pasar malam trader also need eat....
