the 19-year old

The 18-year old is now 19 and having just got a girlfriend (his first serious one) on his 19th birthday, the (now) 19-year old is quite excited about his prospects in life.

As the relationship becomes more serious, he begins to remember about his struggle to earn money. Thus the 19-year old starts devising an ingenious business plan. Muahaha..

"Eureka!" Cried the 19-year old. 'Lets sell t-shirts with social designs for social awareness'!!. Not a very unique concept but a fairly marketable idea nonetheless. Armed with accounting knowledge, a head for writing and a whole lot of bulls**T, the 19-year old sets out to make his business a reality.

Roping in a school friend and a college friend, the 19-year old starts printing his t-shirts and selling them at conferences, or just pushing them to his other college friends.

Lo and behold, the 19-year old actually does make a fairly decent profit of RM 400, which is shared with his partners equally, leaving him with about RM 120 to spend. This money is then plowed back into the business.

Some time soon, the 19-year old joins a reality TV show, calling for interesting business ideas. Pitching his social T-shirts project, the 19-year old makes it all the way to the semi-finals only to get kicked out because he got smart with the judges, thus depriving himself of the RM 30,000 which could have been his if he had won.

Dejected, the 19-year old lost focus of his business, his friends continued their studies overseas, and the 19-year old began his descent/(ascent??) into employment.

Yet not all was lost as his girlfriend, the Sweet 18-year old remained loyal to him, sticking by through thick and thin!
