KUMON Free Trial Classes (AUG) 2020!

Good intentions will always end well.

4 years after.

I have moved on from my last 'adventure'  (or more like my last posting here).

What happened after the last posting was, I got sued by the 2 staff, but I decided not to contest because I had no interest to see them anymore and I was getting help by dear Ex. So I paid them off and cut them off from all contacts.

Since then, I started my quilt and sewing business, and last year, I got my real estate license to finally start a new business in Real Estate.

I am still very much in touch with my Kumon family and hoping to still contribute to the Kuon world in the future. Some way or others.

Cheerio! hope to start a new blog on the new "ADVENTURE".

Confirmed : i am free

With all the pressing issues out of the way, monthly help from ex husband, part time tutoring and sewing business looking not too bad....i should be happy and start a new blog.

I will now leave this blog and not look back anymore. 

It has been a nice journey, not necessarily wonderful but it has made me a wonderful, clever and dignified person I believe I am today. Alhamdulillah. 

Calming down....

Today was a tough day for me. I kept thinking about the problem I am facing. I slept a lot too. Later, I found out it is also PMS. How am I going to handle this? PMS? + the pressing issues. Tried seeking help from my ex husband, he hasnt replied. Probably...not huh? I am so stuck now. 

Not feeling too good again

Tonight I just feel like crap. I am still quite disturbed by the problem I am facing right now. I managed to secure an appointment with the labour officer next Thursday and he clearly said that the compensation is something I do need to pay. How am I going to get the money? Mr R mentioned that he is able to fork up the money on an instalment basis. However, knowing the monkeys, they will want it one lump sum. 

I suppose I should focus on getting that done...talk about it with the officer. My aim now is to settle it before the 20th of August. I dont even wish to face them next month. I would puke.

What have we got ourselves into?

Not over?

What a day....as I approached the centre, and as soon as I parked, I saw the 2 former staff (me, being polite!) standing at the corridor of the centre building. They didn't see me. So, I drove off. I have no intention to see them. I really dont have the energy to deal with them anymore. All these years, all my wasted energy on them. Enough is enough.

I have also decided that I should not go in the centre anymore. 

Mr R said he'll swing by later cos he has something to tell me. I wonder what the story is now. So tired of all these now. 

I am retired!!!

I can finally shout it out. The road trip to Ipoh never happened. But i was just happy to stay around the house. 

Things have gone really slow, just the way i want it to be around here, at least for this month. My heart is resting and recuperating.

I am sewing and getting orders, so that is quite nice. 

Right now, i have to start taking care of myself, and my health. I will end this blog right now, and will probably start a new blog just about my journey and adventure from now. I have done what i needed to do and everything ended well. Alhamdulillah. 

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.

Libra horoscope for Oct 11 2012 by DailyHoroscope (http://bit.ly/DHmobile)

If you suddenly jumped off a merry-go-round, no matter how slowly it was moving, you would at first feel disoriented and dizzy. In a way, Libra, you have just jumped off a merry-go-round. You have drawn a line, or come to a conclusion, or made a choice that will ultimately change your life. It may not seem that way yet, since your "leap" may have happened over time in a very subtle way. But change is in the equation. Don't worry that you're feeling a bit foggy. Very soon things will become much clearer, and you'll know that you are on a new and brighter path.

Focus is on the future

A lot has been going on at the centre. Between the centre and the master franchisor.

A new franchise agreement is out and everything is just not right. I have also joined an association to fight and stand up for our rights.

I have also shared with the staff of my intention to no renewing my contract.

I want to now not think so much about my future at the centre.

My main job now is to prepare mysellf for my next life. Being a diplomat's wife.

With this, I will end my blog entry about my personal life and will create a new blog with a new title.

This blog will only be for the last few months I have with Kumon.

Right now!

How instability kills a person's enthusiasm. At the moment, a lot of things are happening.

Kumon has gotten their rights to become a sendirian berhad company. They are expecting us to sign a new agreement and the agreement oppresses instructors to the brim. We feel all squashed, squished and squeezed.

About 150 instructors have formed an association, and we're trying to fight it as a team. How comforting that is comparing to what I had to deal with last year.

We're still waiting for the last date, which is September 12th. We've been asked to sign by that given date.

It is making me feel terrible inside. I feel it is now time to tell my staff I have had enough. I also want to slowly stop intake. And no intake for new English students with immediate effect.

It's finally a HOME!

Our family home is now looking beautiful. I just can't wait to move there.

My burdened heart

Why do I feel awfully burdened? Why do I feel so challenged? I am in a relationship and it is a long distance one! I feel in love but I don't see love.

Will this one day change?

Tough time is here!

I am at the moment at habib Jewel's Ar-Rahnu outlet to sell off my set of gold that I received 18 years ago during my wedding. 9 months ago I had it pajak so that I could get about RM3k to finance my business. I guess things have gone from bad to worse financially.

Time is up and I had to decide to continue or to sell. So here I am to sell them
