Glassware

It was a Friday. The best part about retirement is that you are not tied up with a routine at times. So when Sara while on leave suggested I follow her to a location to buy glassware I gladly agreed. She had done her research and sourced the cheapest for a project for her big day.
"Mum" she reiterated "do not be afraid to use the waze. It will bring you anywhere under the Malaysian sky." The younger generation is always a reminder for us to relearn in life. When in their company you have to change or face irrelevance.

She ploughed through the mad traffic in search of her finding. To buy glassware for door gifts. I wondered at her determination and ability. Somehow when she makes up her mind, big things happen under her small frame. They use to say small doesn't mean anything less in achievements ! My mother sometimes looks at her small frame and wonder if clients adhere to her advice and doubts her ability in her litigation skills. Oh my dear mother has not faced her wrath...

Not very far she said; only at Kota Damansara? But the surroundings all have some connection to the term 'Tropicana'. In short it is somewhere along the factory lots opposite a medical centre and Segi University.

Aged 60 but still so super ignorant, I discovered on that day how thriving businesses survive in this place. All talk about volume, variety and competitive prices. Sometimes big corporations win by selling competitively. So, no need to be too sticky about prices. You win because you have volume.

Sara is determined to pick the best shape, best priced, best use for her guests. She is into details to plan for the best evening for her dear guests. It's a lot of time and energy but planning is her forte. Maybe it's her vocation that has taught her to be careful and meticulous. She is not into spontaneity and unplanned events. That is why I trust her instincts and efforts. So, when you trust, it is best that you say nothing at all. Just follow. 

 This is a good bargain place for all forms of businesses related to glass containers. I can think of jams, sauces, wines, nuts, drinks ...

 Cosmetics too can find its niche here. So, this is how and where people can lock their businesses with lower costs. Why? Sara told me from her findings that they offer the most competitive price as far as she is concerned.  So, it must be quite a bargain.

Perfumes? Medicated oils? Eye drops? Ear drops? The choice seems limitless. 

Creativity is a must to have the extra edge. 

Even special gift packaging is found here. Look at the various
container covers. All sizes, shapes and hues. It's amazing.
 So many ideas. But  I guess this is only at the tip of the ice
berg. There are many other ideas connected to this enterprise.
It's just being innovative and being relevant.
Idea to be added upon idea.

So, that's another learning point for me.

Of glassware and its use.

It was a good discovery day.
