The idea

Every great inventors come up with numerous ideas before they find THE ONE. Thus, this is the story of 4 girls who called themselves Teenybopper trying to find THE ONE IDEA to rule them all



An inventor usually have their own little black diaries to fill out with ideas and plan. The same goes with us. This diary is filled with everything that we think of whether it's irrelevant or not. Every little things will be jot down as we believe that there is no ideas that is too small.


Planning stage is crucial whether we wanted to start our own business, inventing gadget for mankind or even baking cakes. A small mistake here could means expensive correction method in the latter stage. Thus, we started the planning stage by finding out what problems that always occur to students.

Students' life is hectic and filled with studies obligation and enjoying life. It's not all bed of roses. Due to that, we wanted to help them lift their problems.

We always thought that students are always in need of money. We even asked in a local forum what is their biggest problem. Most of them claim they needed more money. Their loan or scholarship is not enough to pay for rent, foods and etc. So we come up with the idea of Online Directory for Part Time Job.

Our next problem that we find is finding budget entertainment. Sure there are student's rate for movies and karaoke but some of us wanted to try our hand on paint ball (which very fun by the way. Try it if you haven't done it), go kart racing and maybe extreme sport but we have no idea where is the cheapest place in town. Students with limited fund have to think twice before trying those. Hmm, how to solve it? Ping~ We come up with the idea of free magazine for students on Budget Lifestyle. Where to find the cheapest place to play games, how to travel on a budget, where is the latest warehouse sales and etc.

Our third idea is to come up with a magazine on jobs. Final year students are looking for THE JOB. It's the job that suit them and they will enjoy it. To us, accountant doesn't mean they have to be an accountant. Thus, we provide them idea on what else they could become. Blogger for example is actually a good opportunity for those who like to write. Look at Julie who manage to become famous thanks to her blog. That is just one example and there are much more for students to explore.


Last but not least, is too become the distributor for second hand books. With the books becoming more expensive, students will sought after cheaper books and just renting it for few months. We thought of the idea plan of making a click and mortar where students can find whether education book or novels that they can buy at cheaper price than the book store.



Those idea was great and we are confident that we can use it. However after doing research online, we discover that some of the idea is actually used by one of the winner of the first YES Moneytree Challenge. Hmm, Great mind think alike right. Thus, back to the drawing board. We spent the whole day just to think of an idea that we really like and enjoy doing it.

Finally, we come up with a great idea that we really like and definitely will enjoy doing it. There a saying that goes "If we actually love what we're doing and we go and do what we love, and every day we get up because we're really happy to get up and go and do what we do, you can't actually do that without expression, and art forms part of that mix of expression that makes the whole package of life so enjoyable to be in" by Kerry Stokes.

Well, are you wondering what that great idea is? Well, we will tell you all about it after this Saturday. But here's a clue. It is a mix of the above plus something that two of our team members love to do.
