EEEE! :”>

1st segment: includes how it all started, what saponification is, startup costs.

2nd segment: includes where I get my ingredients, advice for mothers aspiring to be entrepreneurs, social work, future plans.

Oh my gosh, I had a tonne of fun at BFM yesterday! Not only did the interview go well (from what I recall, anyway) but everyone in the office were such warm individuals! Thank you so much BFM for making me feel right at home.

This is the stuff of my dreams!

Ever since I started seriously working on Kinder Soaps at the end of last year, I found myself turning into a loyal listener of BFM89.9. I think their music, interview content and presenters are intelligent, and they always have something of value to offer listeners, especially those who are budding business people.

They have a section called Open For Business at 10am every weekday morning where they interview entrepreneurs about what they do, how they started up their businesses, the challenges they face etc. It’s always very inspiring to hear how others got their feet wet and are currently doing more than just keeping their businesses afloat. And I daydreamed about how awesome it would be if Kinder Soaps could be on air one day.

That ‘one day’ is happening on Monday, September 28th 2009 at 10am.

I am so, SO very grateful for how it all happened. My first customer at last week’s bazaar turned out to be one of BFM’s producers, and after a few cursory questions she asked if I would be interested to be interviewed at the radio station where she worked. *WOULD* I indeed? I get to meet and speak with Freda Liu in person!

How do I feel? At times excited, nervous, thankful, confident… But always enthusiastic.

So if you have the time, do tune in to BFM89.9 this coming Monday the 28th at 10am to catch Kinder Soaps LIVE on air. Don’t worry if you can’t though—the podcast should be out on their website and I’ll definitely link to it from here.

Yay for radio!

First up, a huge thank-you is in order for Janet Lee who was the key person responsible for making the No Plastic Bag Bazaar such a success. You da woman! Your awesome organizing skills, pulling all parties together to work towards the goal of raising funds for the Furry Friends Farm and Malaysian Nature Society was clearly visible. And you still had time to sing for us, AND get some shopping done!
