its not the end

Have u ever feel generally down and sad? 

And you feel like there is no one to talk to? And even if you have, you will have this thinking that people don’t understand you because they are not the one who facing the situation. Of course you do. In fact everyone does. It also depends to the support system around you. Recently I was shocked with the divorce cases that involved friends of mine and just thinking about it, make me sad. To start all over again with a judgmental community, man, it will take a lot of work. But life goes on sister. 

Especially when you have children, you just got to do what you got to do. This remind me so much of my Mama. She did whatever it takes just to support me and sister :') and of course, just like DJ Lin, Persona – Better, Undoubtedly’ brand ambassador and Suria FM radio host. Ingat lagi tak this campaign? It was really a great idea of Proton for organizing the Enpowerment Day Workshop where about 60 single mothers from various background participating in various activities, including talks to build their confidence level and empower them with knowledge. The two-day workshop was also held to build a support system for the women to come together on a similar platform of sharing experiences, learning and motivating each other. 

This 2 day session was held in Ibunda Restaurant where the session kicked off by with the mother sharing their personal experiences and stories with DJ Lin. Some of them were strong and happy, yet some were still vulnerable and hurt by their bad experiences. It was a morning filled with mixed emotions, and tears and laughter. I can imagine ... :( DJ Lin also shared her story where it was also quite a rough time for her whereby her family was in Johor and she was juggling with 3 jobs at that time. But with that situation she learnt about herself and had the courage to do many things she never thought she could. She said it was the learning experience that can only make us better. They were also talk on the topic of ‘How… from a single mother to a business owner’ by Puan Haniza Razif Bohlendera, successful businesswoman who was also a single mom herself. She shared her views how single mothers can generate side-income to sustain favourable living.  Her session was followed by Encik Azril Bahaman and Encik Mohd Nasrul Shah Samsudin from the Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC) who shared their knowledge on financial planning and useful investment techniques and the day wrapped up by Hj Ahmad Fadzli, religious motivational speaker who spoke about the importance of accepting fate and moving forward in life.

 strong woman they are :) 

DJ Lin

participant could not hold her tears back when telling her story to DJ Lin

Second day as an adventurous day for all mothers as they were given a free test drive of the Persona and also were given detailed explanation on the spec and features of the cars. DJ Lin herself admitted that she only took her license when she was chosen to be the ambassador of this campaign. They were also given a grooming session by CLEO team where they enjoyed themselves so much. I like what one of the participant said, “it is not about finding a new man in her life, it s more like the confidence you have in you”. The evening ended with a surprise from Proton where mothers got complimentary driving lessons to those who did not know how to drive. All this is part of inspiring the same confidence which PROTON has gained through Persona, which has risen above various challenges, to result in one of the top performing sedans in the market today. 

all set to go!
