OK, I am gossiping now.
But lets travel back to few years ago, when I just married and in between job, I worked from home then on jewellery beading, beside making tiara sold to bridal house, also received some special order from some tai-tai.
Then there was this lady from India, her hubby was a VIP with an international company, and follow her hubby travel around the world, staying in every country for 1-2 years then pack and go again. Sound glam isn’t it? travel around the world, flying business or first class, even moving around the company is apying for the shipment of their whole house (I tell you if the house can un-roof, most likely they will ship it with [Crown](http://www.crownlogistic.com/) also).
But the down side was she miscarried more than five times because of travelling around, she love to have kid, but most of time when she got pregnant is the time they have to transfer.
Anyway…so she basically nothing much to do after the hubby gone for meeting and conference, so don’t know how she got the idea of importnice South China Sea pearl from China, resell it to her fellow tai-tai.
And I forgot how we get in touch and she learn some basic beading skill with me, then later I started restring the pearl for her with a fee.
But I told her before she should get the finishing touch for the pearl with a gold smith, instead of my stainless steel compartment (FYI, a pair of earring in 916 gold cost RM200, compare with stainless steel RM10), since the South China Sea pearl cost about RM500 for a 10mm droplet, don’t you think only the gold or the platinium can match with it?
Anyway… she insisted stainless steel will do, and give me business, I wouldn’t press on this later.
Then there was this one fine day, she called me said there will be few datin tai-tai come to her place have tea and view the pearl, so asked me am I interested to come along, get some business, since those datin tai-tai might buy the unfinished string pearl, so I might get some business from them.
I told her no lar, datin wor… I scared leh… some more datin will get their pearl done in gold smith, rather than me lar.
But then she said she pay for my visit even though I might not get any business like what I thought.
Hooii… not much water turtle crawling around on the street you know? so I went.
