Hope that was the end of it......

Last week was one of the toughest week I've ever experienced in my Kumon career. Right after declaring my retirement, I had to deal with my former staff. Nothing turned out right for them. They were against everything and everything to them were against them. 

We (my successor and I) had to use all the sources we had to sort this out. There were lawyers, policemen, People from HQ....and a few mlre involved. Scenes were created and ugly scenes they were to me. Although I wasnt there to witness anything, I was pretty well informed. Every single thing that happened. 

Yesterday was my 1st day back at the centre. Although I was happy and calm, my heart needed time to be more at peace. I believe the retirement time for me has come. It is time to let go for real. So, i will not stay for too long. Next month, I will be sitting in at another centre. My 2nd home really. Just for 3 weeks, and 8 days in total. September, i should free myself.

I am beginning to slowly enjoy the so called 'retirement'. This weekend, I have a road trip to Ipoh with Wanaz in her Angry Bird covered vintage mini minor. Awesome!!!

So much for retirement.....

This month was suppose to be the first month of my retirement from running a centre after 15 years. Right now, i am sitting in a witness chamber at the high court. Nothing to do with any case or issues i am facing. I am here to seek help from a lawyer to defend myself and my successor. My 2 full time staff are not happy with the take over and created too many issues out of non issues stuff.

It goes to show how you should always fend for yourself and your family before you fend for anyone else. For years, i have been running at a lost. I struggled, i cried, i begged, i lost most if my self esteem just to make sure ends meet at the centre. Mainly to make sure they get their salary on time. When the take over finally took place, all the money obtained were used to settle all the bad debt from EPF, salary and royalty. Nothing left for me. I shall work harder after this jusf to build upagain, i promised myself. 

I want all these to settle soonest possible..... Amin.

18 days after

I'm on my way back from a trip to Seattle and Vancouver. a trip that has been planned for months. Somehow or rather, when i was there, problem at the centre occurs again. This time it's regarding the staff. The two senior staff made a big commotion when Mr R decided they should be part timers. Headache.....major headache. Part of the Vancouver trip was very challenging when my mind was so preoccupied.

By the 3rd day, i kind of sorted it out in my mind and feel better and find some kind of solution.

Hopefully this is the end. I dont even feel like goimg back to the centre anymore. 

FINALLY!!!!!

This morning, Mr R signed his Franchise Agreement. the deal is sealed!!!!!

Feeling a big relieved. Burden off my shoulder. So many things I want to write, so many things I want to tell, but I just need some alone time and some time to finish a lot of things at the centre before the big handover.

In the end....everything ends well. Alhamdulillah. Kumon do appreciate all my effort for the last 15 years. I am walking away with a "15 years service award" in my hand. I can now walk away straight and stand up tall without feeling low about myself.

Parents are taking it well too. so many well wishers. many from the past as well. after this.....a new life will begin. i would like to create a new blog with my new life.

Almost there!

This time, I can almost see the finishing line. I am going to hand over my centre by end of May and Mr R will be my successor.

He made it through the 2nd interview, and that is as good as a go!

Last week, we were shocked again by being disturbed by his instructor, J. She wanted a 50/50 business deal at the centre Mr R is taking over.

Today, Mr R said she avoided him as he was stern about not sharing the business with her.

I kept reminding Mr R, he worked hard for this centre. And he deserves it.
