The Untold Story

 Assalamualaikum & Hi Dear Readers… This Is the Story I’ve Never Fully Shared Before

Assalamualaikum semua…

Hari ini, I nak buka satu cerita yang sangat dekat dengan hati I.
Sebuah kisah perjalanan yang panjang, yang penuh pengorbanan, air mata, peluh, keletihan, kerisauan…
tapi pada masa yang sama penuh dengan harapan, kekuatan dan doa.

Ramai tahu yang I sudah pun membuka Pressurini Spa di Damansara Damai.
Ramai nampak hasilnya hari ini.
Tapi tidak ramai tahu perjalanan yang membawa I ke sini.

Dan hari ini… I tulis dengan hati yang benar-benar terbuka.
Supaya sesiapa yang membaca akan faham,
kenapa blog ini terhenti seketika,
dan kenapa I kembali semula dengan versi Mimi yang lebih matang, lebih kuat, dan lebih bersyukur.

 How It Really Started: When Everything Was Just I, My Hands, and a Portable Bed

Perjalanan ini tidak bermula dalam spa yang cantik, dengan lighting lembut dan bilik wangi.
It began with something very simple — a portable bed in the back of my car.

I started as a mobile therapist.
Every day, I drove from house to house.
Kadang-kadang waktu masih gelap, kadang waktu dah lewat malam.
I carried everything myself — bed, oils, towels, equipment — semua I angkut sendirian.

Ada hari I penat sangat sampai rasa nak menangis.
Ada hari I rasa macam nak give up sebab terlalu letih.
But something in me kept pushing…
because deep down, I knew one day I would have a place I can call my own.

Kereta I pada masa itu…
adalah spa pertama I.

Then Came the Small Rented Room — My First Real “Space”

After saving little by little,
I beranikan diri untuk sewa satu bilik kecil.

It wasn’t much.
Tak besar.
Tak mewah.
Tapi itu ruang pertama yang I boleh kunci pintu dan rasa:

"This is my place to work."

Dalam bilik kecil itu:

💆‍♀️ I urut klien satu demi satu
📆 I belajar handle booking
📚 I belajar tentang hygiene & professional standards
💬 I dengar cerita hidup klien yang kadang buat I ketawa, kadang buat I menangis bersama

Ruang itu sederhana,
tetapi ia membina asas keyakinan I.
From that small room, I realised—
I was capable of more.

 Then I Rented a Whole House — A Bigger Step, A Bigger Responsibility

Bila rezeki makin bertambah,
I kumpul lebih banyak simpanan,
dan I buat keputusan besar:
I rented a whole house untuk jadikan home service spa.

The responsibility doubled.
The pressure doubled.
Tapi semangat pun naik sekali.

Dalam rumah itu, I belajar:

🔹 macam mana nak menjaga client flow
🔹 macam mana nak upgrade service standard
🔹 macam mana nak manage time & energy
🔹 macam mana nak jaga diri sendiri walaupun kerja tak pernah habis
🔹 dan macam mana nak percaya pada proses, even when it feels slow

Masa di rumah itu juga blog ini sunyi.
Bukan sebab I lupa.
But because I was living in a reality where every hour, every day, was dedicated to building something bigger.

I was working…
really, truly working.

 And Finally… Pressurini Spa Was Born

Then came the moment I will never forget.

Hari I pegang kunci unit spa di Damansara Damai.
Tangan I menggigil.
Lidah I kelu.
I stood there quietly, just breathing, just absorbing everything.

Because for the first time…
I was no longer a mobile therapist.
I was no longer renting a room.
I was no longer operating from a home.

I was finally opening my own spa.

The spa that carried my name.
The spa that carried my story.
The spa that carried every sacrifice I ever made.

I chose the name Pressurini because it holds meaning —
pressure + serenity,
strength + softness,
struggle + beauty.

Setiap sudut dalam spa itu, setiap pilihan warna, setiap bau essential oil…
semuanya lahir dari hati I.
It was a space I built with intention —
so people who walk in feel the peace I’ve always wanted to give.

 Why I Stopped Blogging For So Long

Bila orang tanya:

"Mimi, why did you stop updating the blog for so long?"

I selalu senyum,
tapi dalam hati sebenarnya banyak yang I nak jawab.

The truth is…

I wasn’t gone.
I wasn’t forgetting.

I was just in a phase of life where I needed to focus deeply.
I was building a dream with my two hands.
I was working days and nights,
saving money,
learning new things,
surviving setbacks,
and growing quietly behind the scenes.

Sometimes you can only choose one:
focus on the dream, or document it.

I chose to build it first…
and come back here when I was ready to share the story.

And now I am.
With a heart that’s more matured,
more grounded,
and more grateful.

 To My Readers — Thank You For Being Part Of This Story

If you’ve been here since Naomilicious…
thank you.

If you’re new here…
welcome.

I hope this post shows you that success doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes patience, resilience, and a lot of belief in yourself.

If I can journey from:

mobile spa → rented room → rented house → my own spa…

then I truly believe
anyone reading this can achieve their dream too,
one small step at a time.

Thank you for reading.
Thank you for being here.
And thank you for letting Mimi share this part of her heart with you.
