00:00I had one event where the mother-in-law invited a number of bags.
00:05Meaning, we're going to invite 500 people.
00:08I said, okay.
00:09On the day of the sale,
00:12I said, I'm sorry.
00:13I held her hand and said, I know what to do now.
00:17She invited more than 200 people.
00:19I called my caterer and said,
00:21you go get your team and cook the extra $2,200.
00:24And my team managed to cook.
00:27Cook on the spot?
00:28On the spot.
00:29Send it.
00:30$2,200?
00:32I told my caterer, this is not a question.
00:36This is a statement.
00:38Cook.
00:39And my caterer said, sure.
00:41Oh my.
00:42Cook.
00:44Cook on the spot.
00:45Auntie is happy.
00:47So I'm the one who's happy?
00:48Oh, okay.
00:49As long as you're happy.
00:50My staff is so slow.
01:00The British government has said that money makes the world go round.
01:04In an age where everyone needs this money,
01:07it's up to us what we want to do for a living.
01:11Some are working and some are doing business.
01:14Today, with us in the podcast Duit Tepi,
01:18we have an owner.
01:19A very rising event planner.
01:22You guys have probably used the wisdom of this event planner.
01:26We have Yi Yin with us.
01:28Hi everyone.
01:29Hello, welcome to our podcast.
01:31Thank you for having me.
01:32She is the owner of Tema.
01:36Tema.
01:37Yes.
01:38Tema Event Planner.
01:39If we look at Instagram,
01:42there are a lot of people using Tema Event Planner.
01:44And Tema is one of them in our country.
01:47So we have an owner here.
01:49Now we want to chat.
01:52Sure.
01:54So Yi Yin.
01:55Can you just call me Yi Yin?
01:57Just call me Yi Yin.
01:58Okay, just call me Yi Yin.
01:59It's easier.
02:00It's easier.
02:02Okay, we want to ask.
02:04Can you share a little about your background?
02:07How did you get into the event planner field?
02:11Okay, so I've been doing wedding planning for 5 years.
02:15It's been 5 years.
02:16I started off doing weddings actually from a friend of mine.
02:20He owns a catering business.
02:24So I helped him look for sales.
02:26So he's actually based in Batang Gali.
02:29So he wants to bring his business to Kuala Lumpur.
02:31So I asked him why not I help.
02:33Okay, from the sales, he said,
02:35Yi Yin, I think you should do wedding planning business
02:39because I want to focus on catering.
02:41So from there, I started a wedding business.
02:43I took him as my caterer.
02:45And then I have a best friend.
02:46If you know Jeb and Jay,
02:47it's Jeb,
02:48Jeb,
02:50I don't know if you know him.
02:51He's an influencer.
02:52He is also my friend and a designer.
02:54So I recruited him to be part of the team,
02:56to be a designer.
02:57So that's when I had a caterer.
02:59And I'm the wedding planner.
03:01And then my friend became a designer for my client.
03:04He made all the clothes.
03:05So from there, I started slowly.
03:08It's been 5 years.
03:09So when it comes to this theme,
03:10it's not just an event planner,
03:13it also covers everything?
03:15Okay, it's like this.
03:16For the theme,
03:17our business is actually,
03:18we provide wedding planning services.
03:20Wedding planning services.
03:21Meaning, if you're not married yet?
03:22Not yet.
03:23If you're not married yet,
03:24you probably don't know where to start.
03:26Like, okay, where do I start?
03:27Should I start with the clothes first?
03:29Or should I book the venue first?
03:32So he said, okay, I need your help.
03:34So our job is actually to,
03:36okay, you take this package.
03:37In this package,
03:38we give advice on where you want to start first.
03:42In there, there's food and beverage.
03:44There's catering,
03:45there's clothes,
03:46photos.
03:47But it comes from different teams.
03:48So we're not the one who makes your clothes.
03:50But we have a team of designers
03:52in Malaysia who make the clothes.
03:54A caterer from a different team.
03:56So if someone wants to use this theme,
03:59they can also choose,
04:00meaning there are options
04:02in the package, package, package.
04:04Or like, if you want to get married,
04:05okay, I want to get married.
04:07Everything is full set.
04:08You just have to pay for it.
04:09In terms of clothes,
04:10in terms of catering.
04:11That's right.
04:12But everything is customized.
04:13It's not like, okay,
04:14the date is like that.
04:16No.
04:17Everything, like in terms of decoration,
04:18everything is customized.
04:19The color you want,
04:20the clothes,
04:21the design you want.
04:22Usually if you go to a venue hall
04:25that has everything,
04:27you come and wash your hands.
04:28When you enter,
04:29it's already there.
04:30This one,
04:31you go through process by process with us.
04:34How do you want to design your clothes?
04:36How do you want to design your plumbing?
04:39We'll help you
04:40to help you throughout the planning process.
04:43Imagine if there's a customer who's like,
04:44okay, I have clothes like this
04:46from this one designer.
04:48So your team will collaborate
04:50with that one designer.
04:51No, we have our in-house.
04:53But then if you,
04:54let's say you have your preferred designer,
04:56we will help like,
04:57okay, this is your appointment.
04:58It's like an assistant.
04:59It's easy.
05:00We'll book an appointment for you.
05:02So it's not like you have to call the caterer,
05:05you have to look for a decorator.
05:07We'll be your middleman
05:09to do the calling and everything.
05:11You can take in-house also,
05:13which is our team
05:14that we've been working with for 5 years.
05:16Or you can look for another one
05:17which we can communicate on your behalf.
05:19Because customers have the freedom
05:21to either take this option
05:23or you can provide from A to Z.
05:25Because we provide wedding planning services.
05:27We don't provide just like package.
05:28Like, okay, you have to take it too.
05:30We have a caterer.
05:31No, it's very flexible.
05:32Flexible, okay.
05:33That's the theme.
05:35Interesting.
05:36Okay.
05:37If it's like in Malaysia,
05:38we look at people's weddings,
05:39there are also schools
05:41and then the theme is,
05:42you know,
05:43in terms of weddings,
05:44the setup and everything.
05:45Where do you go to school?
05:46I go to school on Instagram.
05:47Okay, you go to school on TikTok.
05:49I will work a lot on TikTok.
05:50If it's on Instagram,
05:51mostly on photos.
05:52But work on makeup videos,
05:54you can search on TikTok.
05:55Same as the theme,
05:56there's KL.
05:57Because it looks beautiful.
05:58And I also,
05:59personally, I like weddings
06:00that are outside, you know.
06:01Like Alamak Saleh.
06:02Outdoor.
06:03Outdoor, you understand.
06:04Is that a trend now
06:05or how is it in Malaysia now?
06:06Now, most people like
06:10weddings, a lot of weddings.
06:11Outdoor, maybe one.
06:12For the theme,
06:13we have one event space
06:14that has KLCC view.
06:16So, that's where most people go.
06:18So, I think from there,
06:20moreover,
06:21I like to make a garden.
06:23But sometimes,
06:24our stress is the weather.
06:26If it rains,
06:27I was about to ask that actually.
06:28If it rains,
06:29it's true.
06:30But I have a wedding
06:31that if it rains,
06:32the client is willing to wait.
06:34Like, it's okay,
06:35let it rain.
06:36I'm crying,
06:37but I'm crying.
06:39But,
06:40everything so far,
06:41everything I've done is okay.
06:42Nothing like,
06:43bad things happened,
06:44nothing.
06:45So far, it's okay.
06:46Wow, because
06:47I've seen people
06:48who are tired,
06:49like there's a garden
06:50that's wide,
06:51like there's no shade.
06:52Then, suddenly it rains.
06:53Then, you guys
06:54have to cover it.
06:55So, basically,
06:56people will pause for a while.
06:57People will wait.
06:58Yes.
06:59That will be our job
07:00to actually settle down
07:01all the clients.
07:02So, our guests
07:03know where to sit
07:04and everything.
07:05That will be our job.
07:06I see.
07:07Contingency plan will come from us.
07:08So, we will plan ahead
07:10before the wedding day.
07:11Like that.
07:12Okay.
07:13So, like,
07:14if it's an outdoor event,
07:17can you walk through
07:18to all of us,
07:19like,
07:20how the process,
07:21basically,
07:22because we're used to
07:23indoors,
07:24maybe if it's outdoor,
07:25maybe there's a little difference
07:26or there's an addition
07:27that maybe
07:28the listeners
07:29or the audience
07:30don't know.
07:31From my past experience,
07:32if you do it outdoors,
07:33it's the same as
07:34you do it indoors.
07:35The difference is
07:36the ambience
07:37will be different
07:38on your setup.
07:39Meaning,
07:40the plumbing will still be there.
07:41Just on the seating arrangement,
07:42you can do it differently.
07:43For example,
07:44on day one,
07:45the seating arrangement
07:46is just like that.
07:47But if it's outdoors,
07:48you can
07:49play around
07:50with the layout.
07:51For example,
07:52if you do it at Hulangat,
07:53mostly,
07:54sorry,
07:55Jandabaik.
07:56Jandabaik has a lot of land,
07:57right?
07:58So, you can,
07:59sometimes,
08:00some want to do
08:01an open concept,
08:02some want to use
08:03a transparent area,
08:04a canopy.
08:05So, that thing,
08:06for a wedding planning
08:07like mine,
08:08it was very fun.
08:09But,
08:10the downside
08:11is the weather.
08:12That's it.
08:13But,
08:14if I were to advise,
08:15it's okay,
08:16just use a canopy.
08:17It's easy.
08:18You don't have to
08:19worry about anything.
08:20There's a place for it.
08:21So, you prepare
08:22the canopy as well.
08:23But,
08:24if it's an outdoor wedding
08:25where you don't
08:26want a canopy,
08:27I would suggest
08:28if you're doing
08:29a 50-pack wedding,
08:30that's fine.
08:31We want to
08:32control the crowd,
08:33it will be easier.
08:34Like, okay,
08:35we can have 50 people
08:36if we have 500 people.
08:37Oh, really?
08:38Like,
08:39this is mine.
08:40Oh, really?
08:41Like,
08:42if one day
08:43I actually want to have,
08:44you know,
08:45a wedding,
08:46reception,
08:47and so on.
08:48Okay,
08:49let's imagine
08:50on the beach,
08:51on the rocks,
08:52like an outdoor wedding,
08:53the rocks are windy,
08:54the waves are strong.
08:55If there's a customer
08:56who wants to do that,
08:57is it possible
08:58to do it?
08:59It is.
09:00It is.
09:01Now,
09:02there's a beach wedding
09:03at Port Dickson
09:04if you look at it.
09:05But,
09:06any outdoor venue
09:07must have a contagious plan
09:08where there will be
09:09an indoor area
09:10as a backup.
09:11It's not possible
09:12like,
09:13okay,
09:14it's all wet outside.
09:15It's not possible.
09:16There will be a plan B.
09:17There will be a plan B.
09:18Definitely,
09:19there won't be.
09:20So,
09:21my advice,
09:22if you want an outdoor wedding,
09:23please get a wedding planner.
09:24So,
09:25you don't have to
09:26be the bride,
09:27you have to think
09:28where your guests are.
09:29So,
09:30at least,
09:31your wedding planner
09:32and the team
09:33can help you.
09:34Okay,
09:35so,
09:36I will try to get this
09:37straight.
09:38Basically,
09:39it's easier.
09:40Correct.
09:41It will be easier
09:42the planning process
09:43and also,
09:44during the day.
09:45During the day,
09:46we call it coordination
09:47and event team.
09:48When planning process
09:49will be wedding
09:50planning
09:51or wedding planner.
09:52So,
09:53like me,
09:54my position will be
09:55wedding planner
09:56and also coordinator.
09:57Meaning,
09:58I will help you
09:59to plan your wedding
10:00throughout the planning process.
10:01On the day itself,
10:02I will go down
10:03and be there
10:04for my bride and groom.
10:05Especially,
10:06for my bride.
10:07Because groom is more
10:08like,
10:09okay,
10:10whatever.
10:11But bride
10:12will make sure
10:13that everything
10:14is in order.
10:15Like that.
10:16What about Inai?
10:17Will she be there?
10:18Inai,
10:19the night before,
10:20no,
10:21we are already
10:22setting up.
10:23She will be there
10:24with her family.
10:25I'm curious
10:26if she will be there too.
10:27I will see
10:28if it's sunny
10:29or cloudy.
10:30Because,
10:31we will check
10:32weather forecast
10:333 days before
10:34or 2 days before.
10:35Like that.
10:36Okay,
10:37event planner
10:38and wedding planning
10:39are not difficult.
10:40Especially,
10:41we don't have to work
10:42with people.
10:43People are like,
10:44religious people,
10:45like PL,
10:46like this,
10:47like that,
10:48like that.
10:49So,
10:50from your experience,
10:51have you ever
10:52got a customer
10:53that
10:54has a
10:55crazy request?
10:56Customers
10:57and clients
10:58want us
10:59to help them.
11:00True.
11:01Do you feel like,
11:02okay,
11:03let's try.
11:04Have you?
11:05So far,
11:06they don't have
11:07weird requests.
11:08Because,
11:09weddings are all the same.
11:10The concept is different.
11:11But,
11:12based on my experience,
11:13if you ask me,
11:14as a client,
11:15if we want to spend money,
11:16of course,
11:17we have to demand.
11:18Plus,
11:19it's a wedding.
11:20True.
11:21If it's a wedding,
11:22I will ask for a lot of things.
11:23I want to be perfect.
11:24So,
11:25throughout my experience,
11:26I always say,
11:27how do you deal with
11:28emotional clients?
11:29Because,
11:30I was married before.
11:31So,
11:32I know how it feels.
11:33So,
11:34it's easier for me
11:35to conflict
11:36more with
11:37the demand
11:38between
11:39what the bride and groom
11:40want and the family.
11:41Okay,
11:42let's lock that question.
11:43Let's lock.
11:44Okay.
11:45Let's close that question.
11:46Okay.
11:47Tell me the conflicts.
11:48For example,
11:49anything you want to share.
11:50Okay.
11:51The theme is,
11:52I always get clients
11:53who say,
11:54this is the first wedding
11:55in the family.
11:56It will be tough.
11:57Because,
11:58of course,
11:59you will get a wedding planner
12:00because you know what to do.
12:01So,
12:02the mother,
12:03especially the mother,
12:04but the bride,
12:05there are things
12:06that she wants as well.
12:07So,
12:08my experience,
12:09I have to
12:10talk to the bride first.
12:11Okay,
12:12what do you want?
12:13Okay,
12:14she will tell me.
12:15Mostly,
12:16my bride will be very
12:17transparent to me.
12:18I can't be like this.
12:19My mother wants me
12:20like this.
12:21But,
12:22I want to be like this.
12:23So,
12:24I will ask her,
12:25okay,
12:26what do you want
12:27for your wedding?
12:28And,
12:29what can you tolerate
12:30a bit with your mom?
12:31So,
12:32we have to approach
12:33the family first.
12:34Because,
12:35the wedding,
12:36it must be the family first,
12:37right?
12:38So,
12:39I will talk to the mother.
12:40Okay,
12:41aunty,
12:42what will be your
12:43main concern of the wedding?
12:44Okay,
12:45if it's just the food,
12:46let's just talk about food.
12:47Can we let the groom
12:48and the bride
12:49discuss about
12:50the decoration
12:51or the clothes?
12:52We let her
12:53choose.
12:54Like that.
12:55So,
12:56usually,
12:57the conflict is
12:58just like that.
12:59Just like that?
13:00The menu,
13:01when we talk about the wedding,
13:02everything becomes intense.
13:03Like a family meeting,
13:04I'm in the middle.
13:05Okay.
13:06So, you won't be there
13:07if they're like a meeting.
13:08Of course, I will be there.
13:09I need to know
13:10like what's going on
13:11or
13:12if there's any
13:13contradict
13:14on the decision making
13:15or
13:16like that.
13:17But, so far,
13:18I love
13:19planning wedding
13:20that has
13:21family involvement.
13:22I really like it.
13:23Because, I feel like
13:24you be part of the family.
13:25That will be the memory
13:26I feel like
13:27I will keep it forever.
13:28I really like it.
13:29That's why we want to
13:30win it.
13:31You know,
13:32make sure everyone
13:33satisfied with
13:34the end result.
13:35Because, this is a big day
13:36for them.
13:37Sometimes,
13:38I think about
13:39this wedding planner.
13:40I have my own head.
13:41And then,
13:42I want to finish
13:43the other's
13:44and then,
13:45the mother's
13:46and the father's
13:47and the bride's.
13:48And then,
13:49it's just not one wedding.
13:50It will be like
13:5110-20 other weddings.
13:52Right?
13:53Like,
13:54do you understand?
13:55Oh, yeah.
13:56About that one,
13:57in a week,
13:58usually,
13:59how many
14:00do you usually
14:01handle
14:02the wedding?
14:03Okay, 14.
14:04As you know,
14:05we are a very small team.
14:06It's just me
14:07and my two
14:08event assistants.
14:09And just now,
14:10there's a venue assistant.
14:11So, it's just three of us.
14:12So,
14:13Bali has a lot of weddings.
14:14Usually,
14:15after Raya,
14:16we will pack
14:17one heart,
14:18one heart,
14:19one heart,
14:20one heart.
14:21So, on weekdays,
14:22I will just give them.
14:23Because, I know
14:24it's very hectic.
14:25You know,
14:26from the morning
14:27if we set up
14:28a night before,
14:29a night before,
14:30we will have a set up
14:31during the event itself.
14:33And then,
14:34we have to make sure
14:35everything is clear.
14:36Meaning,
14:37our goal,
14:38Tema's goal is
14:39when you get married,
14:40you don't have to think
14:41about the set up.
14:42You just come,
14:43greet the guests
14:44and everything.
14:45We will settle
14:46the gifts and everything.
14:47You finish eating,
14:48you go home.
14:49We will clean and everything.
14:50Whether it's packed food
14:51or anything else,
14:52we will distribute the food.
14:53We will settle everything.
14:54Yeah.
14:55It's a lot.
14:56It's a lot of work.
14:57And you need passion
14:58to do this, right?
14:59Yes.
15:00If you're not passionate,
15:01I think you'll quit halfway.
15:02That's right.
15:03Because it's tiring.
15:04We, you know,
15:05as an entertainment person,
15:06because I learned media
15:07and then I took
15:08just a class.
15:09The class event
15:10is already tiring.
15:11This is a real-world event,
15:12planning a wedding.
15:14It's really tough.
15:16It is.
15:17You have to have the spirit
15:18to do it properly.
15:19It's not easy.
15:20Yeah, it's not easy.
15:21You don't talk to the client.
15:22That's it.
15:23I don't even think about it.
15:24Sometimes,
15:25the client is weird.
15:26Because it's like that.
15:27That's okay.
15:28But if you get a client
15:29who broke off the engagement,
15:30you won't start like that.
15:31Oh my God.
15:32You won't get married
15:33in a month.
15:34Girl,
15:35let's start.
15:36Okay, okay.
15:37You have a lot of things.
15:40Okay, okay.
15:41Yeah,
15:42you'll feel like,
15:43I've been like,
15:44the mother called me
15:45and said,
15:46I broke off the engagement.
15:47I cried.
15:48Because the family
15:49spent like,
15:50a lot.
15:51Not talking about 20, 30.
15:52A lot.
15:53So,
15:54if you,
15:55I don't know,
15:56because you've never been married,
15:57when you deposit everything,
15:58it will be burned,
15:59if you're not married.
16:00Burned?
16:01It will burn.
16:02It will burn.
16:03Because,
16:04for a month,
16:05looking for a client
16:06to look for a replacement,
16:09Because,
16:10personally,
16:11I've read this,
16:12oh my God,
16:13I want to tell.
16:14People talk about
16:15wanting to get married
16:16after a day,
16:17two days,
16:18broke off.
16:19So,
16:20if it's like,
16:21an event,
16:22wedding,
16:233-4 times,
16:24I feel like,
16:25oh,
16:26very tough.
16:27So, usually,
16:28if it's like this,
16:29do you get any stories?
16:31Usually,
16:32the family will be very transparent.
16:34Because,
16:35I'm very close with the family.
16:36So, the story will be,
16:37he will tell,
16:38everything.
16:39So,
16:40as a wedding planner,
16:41I can just comfort the family.
16:43Comfort the family first.
16:44I say,
16:45it's okay,
16:46take your time first.
16:47You do not worry about the money first.
16:48But,
16:49if the match has arrived,
16:50just give us a call.
16:51We try to help,
16:52whatever that we can.
16:53That's all we can do.
16:55Because,
16:56we can't avoid that.
16:57That's right.
16:58Because,
16:59it's been a long time.
17:00Then,
17:01things have happened.
17:02The most heartbreaking thing is,
17:03the mother calling me crying.
17:04And,
17:05I try to like,
17:06try to listen.
17:07Like,
17:08what is she trying to say?
17:09Aunty,
17:10Aunty,
17:11you have to be patient.
17:12And,
17:13then,
17:14she will tell me what's going on.
17:15That's it.
17:16That's right.
17:17I can't imagine
17:18to be in that position.
17:19Yeah.
17:20We have provided everything.
17:21We have started from the beginning.
17:22Yeah.
17:23We have been together with them.
17:24That's it.
17:25But,
17:26it happened like,
17:27three years after that.
17:28I did,
17:29I did a wedding.
17:30Then,
17:31I went through that kind of thing.
17:32After three years.
17:33So,
17:34I was not actually prepared for it.
17:35Because,
17:36I was like,
17:37it can't be.
17:38It can't be my good client.
17:39Because,
17:40my client is okay.
17:41But,
17:42when it happened,
17:43it's just,
17:44I'm very sad.
17:45I was like,
17:46I also felt like,
17:47I was the one who was not married.
17:48I was like,
17:49oh no.
17:50It's not good.
17:51Because,
17:52you have prepared the wedding,
17:53for a month.
17:54Basically,
17:55everything is done.
17:56Clothes have been paid,
17:57deposit,
17:58everything has been settled.
17:59So,
18:00it's very sad.
18:01I don't think I can go back.
18:02Because,
18:03both of us have been divorced.
18:04It's okay.
18:05Oh no.
18:06Yeah,
18:07that's very sad.
18:08It's scary too.
18:09So,
18:10okay,
18:11you guys,
18:12have you ever handled,
18:13like,
18:14double weddings in a day?
18:15Because,
18:16I think now it's like,
18:17something that maybe,
18:18the couple wants to do,
18:19I think,
18:20cut costs.
18:21Double wedding,
18:22you mean?
18:23Oh,
18:24double wedding,
18:25double reception.
18:26Like,
18:27maybe,
18:28two brothers.
18:29Oh,
18:30meaning,
18:31two couples.
18:32So far,
18:33never again.
18:34Never again.
18:35Because,
18:36mostly,
18:37my clients,
18:38really want,
18:39eyes on them.
18:40Just two of them.
18:41Never again.
18:42But,
18:43I've done,
18:44three events in one day.
18:45Huh?
18:46Wedding in the morning,
18:47then,
18:48tea ceremony.
18:49Then,
18:50change clothes again.
18:51Meaning,
18:52the wedding,
18:53wear more clothes.
18:54Then,
18:55tea ceremony again.
18:56Then,
18:57reception at night.
18:58Oh,
18:59I can't feel my feet.
19:00It's like,
19:01the order is the same,
19:02just the tea is different.
19:03Yeah,
19:04different setup.
19:05Tea ceremony,
19:06tea ceremony,
19:07how is it actually?
19:08Tea ceremony,
19:09is a Chinese,
19:10Chinese tradition.
19:11Meaning,
19:12they want to ask,
19:13blessings from,
19:14family members.
19:15So,
19:16they serve tea.
19:17Oh,
19:18I guess,
19:19your customers are also different,
19:20right?
19:21If that's the theme,
19:22there's a client,
19:23who lives,
19:24in Melbourne.
19:25Never met,
19:26never anything.
19:27We just deal through,
19:28video call,
19:29and WhatsApp,
19:30WhatsApp group,
19:31everything.
19:32And then,
19:33in a week,
19:34they can come to see me.
19:35I've set everything up.
19:36We always get,
19:37that kind of client.
19:38Like that.
19:39Oh,
19:40that's cute too.
19:41Okay,
19:42have you ever,
19:43I'm sorry,
19:44not feel,
19:45but have you ever,
19:46any wedding?
19:47You have a lot of questions,
19:48I think you have to write.
19:49I think you have a problem,
19:50with your chat,
19:51I think you have to write,
19:52I think you have a problem,
19:53with your chat,
19:54I think you have a problem,
19:55with your chat,
19:56because you keep,
19:57going on and on.
19:58Okay,
19:59I'm curious to know,
20:00if,
20:01you mentioned,
20:02the tea ceremony,
20:03in Chinese.
20:04Is there,
20:05like,
20:06ethnicity,
20:07that they have,
20:08specific way,
20:09that you have to do too?
20:10No,
20:11so far,
20:12Malay,
20:13but multi-racial,
20:14meaning,
20:15And then, there's the tea ceremony.
20:17And yesterday was a party.
20:20It was a reception.
20:22I see.
20:23Okay, Radam.
20:25I would say, maybe you can share one memorable event.
20:32That your team has handled that made you feel like,
20:35Oh my God, I keep thinking about this every time.
20:38When you do an event, it's so sweet.
20:41Is it any?
20:42I think, it's all the same.
20:45But the one that I...
20:47I have a favourite venue.
20:49It's the KLCC view.
20:51I think because it's no longer available.
20:53It means, there's one space.
20:56It's under Colony Star Boulevard.
20:58Are you familiar with that name?
20:59Colony, it's a co-working space.
21:01But they make an event space there.
21:03When you go up to the rooftop,
21:05only 50 people can enter.
21:07And then, the KLCC is really crowded.
21:10It's really crowded.
21:12So, our last event, our last wedding on 2024,
21:18which is last year.
21:19That was the last time I did it there.
21:22Because that place is no longer available.
21:24They closed it for any event or wedding.
21:27They closed it for good.
21:28It's no longer available to book.
21:30But I think that's one of the best things I've done there.
21:33It's expensive.
21:36Because of the view.
21:3750 packs, you have to spend a lot.
21:41But it's memorable.
21:42I think because mostly my clients who do it there
21:45are married to foreigners.
21:47So, the KLCC's view is really beautiful.
21:52So, is there a theme like,
21:54you handle events outside of the country?
21:57Like maybe overseas.
21:59No, never.
22:00I don't want to bring a sailor on a ship or anything like that.
22:03No, never.
22:03Even outside of KL, the worst is at Jalan Baik.
22:06That's the farthest.
22:08Because we focus on the KL clients.
22:11And for the theme, we only want to focus on one client per day.
22:15Because I want to make sure that I personally go down to the wedding.
22:20Okay.
22:21I want to ask about the Farsi client.
22:22I've already asked, right?
22:24Next.
22:24Okay.
22:25In the theme, obviously, you guys have your own package.
22:29And you guys will work with clients.
22:30And the clients also have a budget.
22:32So, usually you will present what you guys offer.
22:38And then the client will agree to this, this, this packages.
22:42Or we try to work with what the client wants.
22:45Meaning the process on how to work with them.
22:47Yes.
22:48This is how it usually works.
22:50When we work via WhatsApp.
22:54Meaning if you see us on TikTok or Instagram,
22:57it will link you to our WhatsApp chat.
23:00When you log in, the first thing we will ask is,
23:02what will be your name?
23:03And what will be your planning?
23:05Do you want to do a wedding with us?
23:06Or do you want to do a wedding with a receptionist?
23:08Wedding or receptionist.
23:09So, for example, if you say,
23:10Hi, I'm Aydem.
23:12I want to get married.
23:13I want to do a wedding with you.
23:15The theme is like that.
23:17So, I'm like, okay, fill in the form.
23:20So, the first thing I will ask is,
23:21what will be your, how many packs?
23:22Because without the number of packs,
23:24I don't know where will be the suitable place for you to do it.
23:29So, I will ask, do you want to do it indoors or outdoors?
23:32I will ask your preference.
23:34And then suddenly you say,
23:35okay, I want to do 100 packs a year at the wedding.
23:37And then, can I do it outdoors?
23:39From there, I will communicate.
23:41It's not like a template I give you.
23:43I will chat with you.
23:45Like we chat, podcast, like that.
23:47I will ask, okay, if it's 100 packs outdoors,
23:49these will be the places that I can suggest.
23:51It's not like, okay, you have to do it in this hall.
23:54You have to do it in this hall.
23:55We have a few venues that we are used to working with
23:57for the past 5 years.
23:59You can do it in the colony,
24:00you can do it in the book house,
24:01glass house, you can do it here,
24:03like that.
24:04So, I will say, this is out of my budget.
24:06And then you can,
24:07are you willing to be transparent with me?
24:09How many of your budget?
24:10Oh, I'm willing to spend this and that.
24:12Okay, if this is the venue,
24:14you can do it like that.
24:16Oh, so through the process,
24:18everything with the client is from the start.
24:22I see, because in my mind,
24:23I thought it's okay.
24:24If a certain client is like,
24:25okay, I have a view.
24:26I don't know, maybe there are too many TLC stories.
24:28But I used to watch like this,
24:29say yes to the dress.
24:30Oh, I like that show.
24:32That's my favorite show.
24:33So, like, if you say yes to the dress,
24:35like, okay, I have a budget of so and so.
24:37Then he goes to this one bridal,
24:39chooses a dress,
24:40and then he remembers,
24:41okay, the team that will do the wedding.
24:44So, in my mind, like,
24:45oh, that's how he puts it.
24:46Okay, I want RM100,000.
24:48If it's RM100,000, okay.
24:49Dear God, if it's RM100,000,
24:50there must be someone who is satisfied with that.
24:54Because we don't know in Malaysia,
24:55there are a lot of people who are like,
24:56okay, getting married is really lavish, right?
24:59I don't know if there is a level like this.
25:01Amadi, the family that calls Rihanna,
25:03the bride at the wedding, right?
25:05I don't know if there is such a thing in Malaysia.
25:07But sometimes they want to be lavish,
25:09they put that amount.
25:10So, like, if the theme,
25:13like you said,
25:14will go through everything,
25:15work with the client,
25:16agree, then proceed.
25:18Yes.
25:20There is no more like,
25:21okay, we have RM500,000,
25:22do what you want to do.
25:23There is no more.
25:25Okay, now it clears something.
25:27Okay, now I know.
25:28Because like the theme,
25:30we love hearing from your side,
25:32what do you want?
25:33Not like, okay, we set for you.
25:35Because it's your wedding.
25:36Of course, you should know what you want.
25:38But there are also clients like Yin,
25:39I don't know what I want.
25:40That's when we come, okay.
25:42Do you have preference on the colours?
25:44No.
25:45Okay, what I don't care about.
25:46There is.
25:47Then we set,
25:48follow the things that are in trend at that time.
25:50That's when we can build our portfolio.
25:52Okay, this is new.
25:53But we will present to you first.
25:54Like, for example, you don't know.
25:56Meaning, for example,
25:57your wife is not in Malaysia
25:59and you are the only one who can plan.
26:01Like, men don't really care.
26:04Men don't really care.
26:05Like, okay, anything is okay.
26:06Because you think like,
26:07I'm done.
26:08I know, it's settled.
26:09Yes, it's settled.
26:10I don't want to think like that.
26:11But you get the future wife,
26:13the kind of unbordered,
26:14like you too.
26:15So you say,
26:16Yin, I don't know.
26:17Can you just help me?
26:18So I will,
26:19okay, why don't you go to this?
26:20Yes or no?
26:21You say, yes, okay, proceed.
26:22My job is easy.
26:24It's like,
26:25but you have to know.
26:27If you get a client who's like,
26:30I don't know what I want.
26:32I don't know what.
26:33And you present this, this, this.
26:34She doesn't know.
26:36So,
26:37we will go through that process until she knows.
26:39That will be our job.
26:41I see.
26:42But I personally like those who don't know.
26:43I like it.
26:44I like it.
26:45Like, from there,
26:47we can try new trends.
26:50For example,
26:51this year's trend is actually draping.
26:52If you notice.
26:55Draping, everything.
26:56She knows my questions.
26:57For example,
26:58on the ceiling,
26:59it will be draping, everything.
27:00Everything is draping.
27:01Everything is draping.
27:02If possible,
27:03even your chair,
27:04we can drape everything.
27:05That will be this year's trend.
27:06Or,
27:07there's no longer
27:08the two-tier or three-tier cake.
27:10Now,
27:11it's round,
27:12thin.
27:13I can try with clients who,
27:15I don't know what I want.
27:17Can.
27:18We can try.
27:19We can try.
27:20Can.
27:21So,
27:22I love suggestions.
27:24I see.
27:25Let's say,
27:26like,
27:27you also follow trends.
27:29I have to.
27:30Of course, I have to.
27:31Of course, I have to.
27:32How do you want to suggest to your clients?
27:34Okay, in Malaysia,
27:35isn't there a trend that
27:37everyone is like that?
27:39If people get married,
27:40their children will be like this.
27:41Their children will be like that.
27:42It's the same.
27:43It's repetitive.
27:44You always get it.
27:46No.
27:47No.
27:48Because,
27:49the theme is to make sure
27:50everything is different.
27:51Nothing is the same.
27:52But, if it's the same,
27:53why not?
27:54It's their wedding.
27:55If they say,
27:56Ian, I want a thousand times of salam restuk.
27:58Please.
28:00Go ahead.
28:01How many times of salam restuk?
28:03I want zumba.
28:04Zumba if you want.
28:05You know what?
28:06I went to a wedding.
28:07My friend,
28:08shout out to Kak Anis.
28:09I went to a wedding.
28:10Suddenly,
28:11big bang.
28:12I was like, hold up.
28:13What is this?
28:14Monster.
28:15Big bang.
28:16A song.
28:17It's okay.
28:18I thought he was going to say,
28:19big bang.
28:20I'm going to call him now.
28:21From big bang to sister.
28:23Because,
28:24my sister loves Korea.
28:25She's fluent in Korean.
28:27When I went to her wedding,
28:28it was my first time
28:30to go to a wedding
28:31and open a Korean song.
28:32Was it a guest arrival?
28:33Was she eating?
28:34Yes.
28:35It was a guest arrival.
28:36She was eating.
28:37It was a K-pop song.
28:38It was the first time in my life.
28:40I've never opened a K-pop song.
28:42Selamat,
28:43tengah-tengah.
28:44This is K-pop.
28:45So,
28:46it was something
28:47that was very unique to me
28:48at that time.
28:50She wants you to remember her wedding.
28:52See, now you remember.
28:53I always remember her wedding.
28:56I remember every time.
28:57I've never heard of it.
28:59It was something
29:00that I will remember.
29:02Have you ever had a customer
29:03who was like,
29:04I want to re-record this song.
29:05Then,
29:06do a party dance.
29:08I had a recent client.
29:10It was around November.
29:11Both couples
29:13lived in Australia.
29:15She got married to someone
29:17from Spain, I think.
29:19So, when they came,
29:20it was their first time.
29:21It was the first time I saw them.
29:23For us, Malay people,
29:25what do you call it?
29:26Dancing.
29:27Jogging?
29:28Jogging?
29:29Yes, jogging.
29:30It was a salsa dance.
29:32Wow.
29:33It was the best.
29:34It was the best.
29:35I think it was one of
29:36the things
29:37that I enjoyed
29:38at the wedding.
29:39If you guys saw it,
29:40can you join us?
29:41Like,
29:42join us.
29:43If we work,
29:44we work like ourselves.
29:45But,
29:46my heart was racing.
29:48But, we watched it.
29:49It was fun.
29:50If you do something like that,
29:51because for me,
29:52I don't like formal things.
29:54I love relaxing.
29:55Like, you can chat with
29:57your guests,
29:58take photos.
29:59Mostly,
30:00the theme of the client
30:01was like,
30:02I don't want
30:03those
30:04formal things.
30:05I don't want that.
30:06Like,
30:07we just relax.
30:08It's okay.
30:09It's okay.
30:10I don't care.
30:11But, if you want to
30:12have fun,
30:13have fun.
30:15It's okay.
30:16That's it.
30:17Now,
30:18I see,
30:19among the things
30:20that they put
30:21in front of the entrance,
30:22they put
30:23like a booth.
30:24Like,
30:25take a photo
30:26of the booth.
30:27The photo wall.
30:28You put a ship
30:29and a big screen.
30:30Is that
30:31the ultimate handle?
30:32We can do it for you.
30:33But,
30:34that trended last year.
30:35Oh, last year.
30:36Last year,
30:37we trended.
30:38This year,
30:39if you see,
30:40this year,
30:41the backdrop
30:42is just draping.
30:43Oh, draping.
30:44And then,
30:45last year,
30:46it's the film.
30:47Do you want
30:48everyone to take
30:49a film photo?
30:50Oh,
30:51okay.
30:52That was last year.
30:532024.
30:54But,
30:55still,
30:56there's more to do.
30:57But,
30:58it's fun.
30:59It's already there.
31:002025,
31:01it's just started.
31:02There's already draping.
31:03Trend for 2025,
31:04it's not like
31:05in 2025,
31:06you'll see
31:07the trend.
31:08You'll notice
31:09from last year.
31:10Hmm.
31:11Because I think
31:12nowadays,
31:13especially the younger
31:14generation,
31:15they like
31:16the Y2K aesthetic.
31:17Yes.
31:18Things like that.
31:19I don't know
31:20whether wedding
31:21is appropriate
31:22or can be applied.
31:23But,
31:24have you done it?
31:25Not yet.
31:26That's why
31:27the mother
31:28will get involved
31:29in today.
31:30Like,
31:31don't do it.
31:32That's right.
31:33Okay.
31:34It looks like
31:35it's happening.
31:36Yes,
31:37I had a client
31:38who wore sneakers.
31:39For a converse
31:40wedding.
31:41So,
31:42I was like,
31:43okay,
31:44go for it.
31:45Whatever that
31:46makes you happy.
31:47I didn't tell her mother.
31:48She doesn't know
31:49how to wear a converse.
31:50The bride and groom
31:51wear converse
31:52at night?
31:53Yes,
31:54but it's stylish.
31:55I will be the
31:56number one
31:57in line
31:58to support
31:59my bride and groom.
32:00Whatever that you like,
32:01go for it.
32:02But,
32:03her mother is
32:04behind me.
32:05Because,
32:06okay,
32:07first,
32:08she will attack
32:09me.
32:10Never again?
32:11Never again.
32:12As long as the food is enough.
32:13She's okay.
32:14She's okay.
32:15Usually,
32:16the biggest fear
32:17of parents is
32:18the food is not enough.
32:19Some people
32:20don't want to sit
32:21in a place.
32:22Right?
32:23Because,
32:24for a wedding
32:25event planner,
32:26it's fun.
32:27It's fun.
32:28It's fun.
32:29But,
32:30it's tiring.
32:31The struggle
32:32goes behind it.
32:33Can you share
32:34with the listeners
32:35of Duit Tepi?
32:36What was
32:37the struggle
32:38that you still remember
32:39when you first
32:40started?
32:41The theme
32:42or still ongoing
32:43that you always
32:44get,
32:45that you feel
32:46like this is
32:47the struggle
32:48and I learned
32:49from it.
32:50I started
32:51when I just
32:52started PGP.
32:53So,
32:54our biggest struggle
32:55would be
32:56if you want to
32:57talk about
32:58financial,
32:59yes.
33:00But,
33:01we don't have
33:02a big budget
33:03to cover
33:04all the commitments.
33:05My struggle
33:06with your
33:07clients
33:08meaning,
33:09you don't have any
33:10portfolio.
33:11How do you want
33:12to sell your package
33:13when you don't
33:14have anything yet?
33:15Like,
33:16for example,
33:17I just started.
33:18This is my first year.
33:19I said,
33:20let me be
33:21your wedding planner.
33:22And,
33:23you would ask,
33:24where is your
33:25past work?
33:26I said,
33:27I just started.
33:28Ah,
33:29you want to see.
33:30I just started.
33:31So,
33:32you're like,
33:33no.
33:34You're like,
33:35it's actually how you
33:36connect your,
33:37how you convince
33:38your client.
33:39So,
33:40shout out to all
33:41my earliest clients.
33:44So,
33:45if you look at the
33:46picture below,
33:47you will see
33:48the improvement
33:49from year to year,
33:50how we evolve,
33:51our decoration,
33:52our services
33:53from there.
33:54To build
33:55from below.
33:56Because,
33:57we want to get married,
33:58we want to see
33:59our password,
34:00our event planner.
34:01Interesting,
34:02interesting.
34:03For example,
34:04here is your product.
34:05Here is your product.
34:06Okay,
34:07you want,
34:08if it's food,
34:09or water,
34:10you can taste it.
34:11But,
34:12if you want to get married,
34:13I can handle it.
34:14So,
34:15you're like,
34:16who are you?
34:17From there.
34:18So,
34:19I feel like
34:20there's another theme,
34:21like,
34:22I would say another branch
34:23would be
34:24Bang Lobby.
34:25It's actually,
34:26okay,
34:27for 4 years in business,
34:28we have our
34:29venue,
34:30our vendor,
34:31that we work with.
34:32Meaning,
34:33it's not our venue.
34:34So,
34:35during our 5th year,
34:36which is this month,
34:37we want to
34:38launch our own
34:39event space.
34:45So,
34:46it will be our new
34:47event space.
34:48Meaning,
34:49now,
34:50clients can come
34:51to our place
34:52for wedding.
34:53It's a bungalow.
34:54You can come
34:55and get married there.
34:56Oh my god.
34:57So,
34:58that's the theme
34:59and anyone
35:00who wants to get married,
35:01can they go there?
35:02If you want to get married,
35:03you can come.
35:04It's already ready.
35:05Oh my god.
35:06We only have 3 days.
35:07We only have 3 days.
35:08I said,
35:09okay,
35:10go ahead.
35:11Nice.
35:12So,
35:13when I did the research,
35:14I saw that
35:15there's already
35:16a location.
35:17So,
35:18like you said,
35:19it's not your location,
35:20you work with a vendor.
35:21So,
35:22the venue
35:23that we have
35:24worked with before
35:25would be
35:26Colony.
35:27It's a karaoke space.
35:28But,
35:29Colony has
35:30an event space
35:31Glass House
35:32at Seputih.
35:33Glass House at Seputih.
35:34Mahakasa.
35:35Mahakasa.
35:36Those are the venues
35:37that we have worked with
35:38that are always
35:39ripped.
35:40Yes,
35:41it's there.
35:42I see.
35:43Okay,
35:44the theme is
35:45Banglaire.
35:46Banglaire.
35:47We want to ask,
35:48right?
35:49Have you ever
35:50worked with
35:51anyone who is
35:52very strict
35:53or
35:54high-profile?
35:55If there is,
35:56you can share.
35:57Or,
35:58like a client
35:59who is very strict
36:00or maybe
36:01the family
36:02who
36:03takes care of
36:04things like that.
36:05Or royalty,
36:06I don't know.
36:07Some clients
36:08have a protocol.
36:09You have to follow this.
36:10Very,
36:11very strict.
36:12But,
36:13we have worked
36:14with one family,
36:15Anak Sedara Sultan Perak.
36:16It's a very tough one.
36:17It's a very tough one.
36:18Very tough.
36:19It's very intimate.
36:20They are
36:21wedding 250 packs.
36:22Because,
36:23it involves
36:24protocol.
36:25We just know that
36:26Agung has to sit
36:27in the middle.
36:28The bride and groom
36:29it's a new experience
36:30for all of us.
36:31It means,
36:32when the protocol team
36:33came a night before,
36:34they have to change
36:35and
36:36they have to
36:37the bride and groom
36:38have to
36:39eat with Agung
36:40they have to
36:41wear yellow
36:42and they have to
36:43look for clothes.
36:44They have to
36:45follow everything.
36:46There will be
36:47representatives
36:48from their team
36:49who will
36:50follow everything.
36:52I cannot imagine
36:53to
36:54prepare
36:55such a high-profile
36:56client
36:57to deal with
36:58all of that.
36:59So,
37:00what went through
37:01your mind?
37:02I mean,
37:03your team?
37:04We didn't know
37:05he's actually
37:06a relative
37:07of Agung.
37:08We didn't know.
37:09So, when we found out
37:10he said,
37:11don't actually
37:12ready for this.
37:13So, he said,
37:14it's okay.
37:15It's going to be
37:16very simple.
37:17It's not.
37:18So, it's always
37:19a nightmare
37:20for my team.
37:21It's not because
37:22of what we
37:23are still
37:24in the industry.
37:25So, he said,
37:26sorry,
37:27Agung.
37:28He said,
37:29it's fine.
37:30But everything went well.
37:31Alhamdulillah.
37:32But we don't want
37:33to make that mistake.
37:34Because we don't have
37:35experience.
37:36To be honest,
37:37we don't have experience
37:38handling that kind of event.
37:39But with the protocol team,
37:40they helped us.
37:41So, Alhamdulillah.
37:43Wow.
37:45I always wonder
37:46how
37:47for
37:48wedding planner,
37:49event planner,
37:50to deal with
37:51such a high-profile client.
37:52Like us,
37:53we are always
37:54surprised.
37:55For us,
37:56it's not
37:57a big deal
37:58for them.
37:59Because I had
38:00to work outside.
38:01So, I wasn't there.
38:03So, my team
38:04was crying in the toilet.
38:05They said,
38:06I need your help.
38:07Alhamdulillah.
38:08It's like that.
38:09Unexpected.
38:11It's like that.
38:13Think about it
38:14before you get married.
38:15There are a lot
38:16of things to prepare.
38:17You are the one
38:18who has to prepare.
38:19No.
38:20From A to Z,
38:21I have to think of everything.
38:22Yes.
38:23We will work
38:24with our partner.
38:25But this thing
38:26is not something easy.
38:27People think of getting married,
38:28getting married,
38:29but they don't think of
38:30the whole process
38:31of getting married.
38:32From the top,
38:33you have to think
38:34if the pot is suitable
38:35or not.
38:36What if it's not?
38:37Right?
38:38Oh my God.
38:39I'm babbling here.
38:40Yes.
38:41Think about it first.
38:43Okay.
38:44Yin,
38:45for the theme,
38:46what's
38:47something

41:42what they're doing.
41:43So,
41:44if anything happens,
41:45this is your work.
41:46Why you cannot do it?
41:47Explain to me why.
41:48Because,
41:49if anything happens,

41:54What happened?
41:57At least,
41:58I said,
41:59okay uncle,
42:00give me 2 minutes,
42:01I ask my team.
42:02I will get your answer
42:03in 2 minutes.
42:04I will ask the person
42:05who has experience
42:06who has worked
42:07for 5 or 10 years.
42:09Because the reason
42:10I asked like this,
42:11maybe there's a listener
42:12or a neighbor
42:13who's like,
42:14okay,
42:15I want to start
42:16event planning,
42:17I have an idea,
42:18okay,
42:19this team,
42:20this team.
42:21So,
42:22it's a way
42:23to educate.
42:25I mean,
42:26if I,
42:27when you start
42:28wedding planning,
42:29you need to have
42:30your circle
42:31in the industry.
42:32Like me,
42:33I have friends,
42:34photographer,
42:35photographer,
42:36designer,
42:37plumbing,
42:38decorator team,
42:39I have friends.
42:40So,
42:41you have to listen
42:42to their problems
42:43or their journey.
42:44You have to listen.
42:45As wedding planner,
42:46it's like,
42:47okay,
42:48you pass the job,
42:49you do it.
42:50But sometimes,
42:51when you listen
42:52to other people's problems
42:53or tell business
42:54to other people
42:55in the industry,
42:56that's when
42:57you learn a lot
42:58and it's easy
42:59for you to deal
43:00with clients.
43:01It's about learning
43:02and making connections
43:03in this industry.
43:04Yeah.
43:05You need that support
43:06actually.
43:07So,
43:08if I don't have
43:09my friends
43:10who are caterers,
43:11I don't have my friends
43:12who are designers
43:13or decorators,
43:14I can't do this business.
43:16So,
43:17get your team first.
43:18Yes.
43:19Okay.
43:20Before we...
43:21We're at the end.
43:22We're almost there.
43:23We're done, right?
43:24We've talked a lot.
43:25We have a lot more questions.
43:26We have a lot more questions.
43:27We have a lot more questions.
43:28It's time to be jealous.
43:29Okay.
43:30Shit.
43:31Okay.
43:32Before we're done,
43:33I want to ask,
43:34okay,
43:35any words of wisdom
43:37to the future
43:39business owners
43:40in terms of
43:41event planner,
43:42wedding,
43:43what are the words
43:44that you can share
43:45with them?
43:46Okay.
43:47If you're not doing
43:48any business at all,
43:49be it a wedding,
43:50or if you want to sell
43:51a product,
43:52you don't wait
43:53for the day
43:54for you to start.
43:55If you want to start,
43:56you start now.
43:57And then,
43:58you don't have to listen
43:59to what people say.
44:00If 10 people say it's hard,
44:01you have to be the first person
44:02to make sure
44:03that it's easy.
44:04And,
44:05just don't give up.
44:06Because,
44:07if you do business,
44:08you'll feel like
44:09giving up every day.
44:10But, like me,
44:11if you do business,
44:12the passion is there.
44:13If you want to give up,
44:14you won't.
44:15Because,
44:16the passion is there.
44:17Okay?
44:18And,
44:19always thank your client
44:20because that will be
44:21your biggest supporter.
44:22Without your client,
44:23you are nobody.
44:24That's it.
44:25See?
44:26Oh,
44:27your mother's prayers.
44:28Ah,
44:29that's my mother.
44:30Every time I post an audio,
44:31I always say,
44:32how did I get through?
44:33My mom replies,
44:34it's my mother's prayers.
44:35I prayed for you.
44:36I said,
44:37oh yeah,
44:38true.
44:39I would not make it
44:40without my mom's prayers.
44:41I think,
44:42every struggle
44:43that I went through,
44:44I can get through
44:45because my mom
44:46is always there for me.
44:47She said,
44:48please make it easier
44:49for her son.
44:50That's it.
44:51Your mother's prayers are important, right?
44:52Yes.
44:53True.
44:54And also,
44:55the passion.
44:56This is a word that
44:57always appears
44:58in the podcast.
44:59Passion.
45:00It's not easy.
45:01Even today,
45:02if you ask me,
45:03before I came to this podcast,
45:04I was like,
45:05do I have to do this?
45:06Because,
45:07I don't think that
45:08I deserve to be here
45:09to actually talk about my business
45:10because at some point,
45:11you should have invited
45:12someone else.
45:13But then I said,
45:14no.
45:15I know, right?
45:16You deserve the platform.
45:17What do you mean?
45:18Then I said,
45:19it's only been 5 years.
45:20But then,
45:21I thought,
45:22whether it's been 5 years
45:23or it's only been 1 day,
45:24every day is your effort.
45:26True.
45:27So,
45:28thank you.
