We are seriously selling these

Last year when I first started doing it, it was something spontaneous.

I made 2 and gave it to Oyan. (read here)

My mom read that post and decided to support me by buying 10 from me.

I was very happy.

Since then, Oyan keep encouraging me to sell it online but to me it was impossible.

Because who will go online to buy notebooks?

Besides, I don't really think I did a good job and I don't think that people will buy my "art".

So the idea of selling my notebooks was buried away.

Then came Christmas.

I did a few notebooks to give it as present.
To me, it is meaningful, useful and unique.

My CG members like it and they gave very encouraging responds.

So when Pearl talked about open booth last weekend, I told my CG members that Oyan actually suggested me to sell my notebooks.

And to my surprise, they were all very supportive and encouraging of the idea!

And so, I decided to go ahead.

But I was very nervous about it because I don't have no confidence at all.

I thought to myself, what if I fail?

Will people buy my notebooks?

Even until yesterday I still had this fear in my heart.

But Kevin Khoo said something that woke me up.

*Oyan told me things like this lots of time, but because we are so close, I always think that she's being kind.*

If no one buy, you don't lose anything. 

If someone buy, is a bonus.

Then only I realize, what am I afraid of?

I have nothing to lose.

So I went back home, and started preparing for the booth opening.

Which happened today.

I woke up early in the morning to do some last minute drawings because I have only a few notebooks in hand.

I managed to draw another 4 this morning before Oyan came by around 12 noon to pick me up.
I was still very nervous but I told myself

It doesn't matter. 
I'll gain experience.

We were there early to prepare and to work on our decoration.

While we were doing that, someone came by and we sold my FIRST notebook! 

I was speechless!

Then slowly, more and more people saw my artwork and I was super encouraged by them.

WOW!

You drew all these?!

It encourages me.

Someone even came to us and asked for a name card!
*Is this for real?*

... ... ... ... ...
*speechless*
