Updates

Business Aspect :

Working on some recipes especially on the beverages. Manage to have some interesting concepts to attempt. Meanwhile, a shop lot right behind my house is available for renting. It used to be some film editing office. Anyhow, seems like an opportunity for the business to have some proper rooting.

Personal Life Aspect :

My very first camcorder. IS COMING SOON! Now I can really start on enhancing my blogging experience. I hope it'll be likewise for my audience.

Nothing too fancy, yet I've couldn't ask for more. RM2500 at Digital Mall. Comes with batts, pouch and a RM200 worth tripod.

Last Saturday, went for Yoke Yan's early bday party. It was good to meet up with some of the du'rians. My apologies, no images was taken then. It'll be rather odd for me to draw out my phone and start snapping pictures over there anyways. A personal gratitude to Yoke Yan for the party. Those who were present was, Jonathan Teoh, Han Tsong, Jin Min, Sam, Chee Seng, Edwin Loo, Nelson Wong, Jon Ming (& his girl), Janning, Ee Lyn(hope i spelled her name right..), Madeline, Kar Yan, Chong Xian, Yoke's College Mates .. (can't recall their names).

Those who didn't turn up was ..

As if Bountou wasn't BAD enough ..... who are these people .......


The worst part was, during the introduction of the episode, they state that after Ichigo defeated Grimjow, he successfully saved Inoue .... I have no idea how are they going patch up all these huge loopholes they're digging.


Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.

Opportunity. Seizing for one?

"But it's a risk worth taking, because business is booming at the 945,000 individual restaurant locations across the nation. Despite a faltering economy and an increase in wholesale food costs, the restaurant industry cooked up record-high sales of $535 billion across all sectors in 2007, according to the National Restaurant Association. That works out to just under $1.5 billion spent every day by hungry consumers--and there's every indication that the industry will continue to thrive."

This is the current scene at the United States but at the local scene?

There aren't any efficient organization in Malaysia to do a thorough research or survey to know the statistics in details but observe around you, compare 10 years ago and today, do people eat at home more often, or outside?

Admit it, do you like doing the dishes? I don't.

Do you like to stress yourself wondering what to cook for the family? And ensure that each and every member doesn't have any problems devouring your food?

"You know I don't like spicy food... "

"I HATE MUSHROOMS!"

These are a few factors, just to name a few. But mainly, the market is becoming more sophisticated by the day.

"If I can afford it, why not?"

After all, we're encouraged to spend, to keep the economy flowing on a healthy basis. Even tipping is slowly becoming a policy here.

"Westlake Village, California restaurateur, who projects revenue of $30 million for 2008, recommends hiring professionals--including a restaurant consultant, who understands industry policies and licensing, food standards, personnel issues and more. She also recommends hiring an accountant who can handle the books, taxes and bills. Use these professionals only for the services you require. Or, if possible, purchase a package of services to keep your startup costs manageable."

I've yet to find a service that provides a company all the necessary services to start up a restaurant so that equates to a lot of independence.

But not independence in terms of doing all the accounting, stock counting, licensing on my own .. I can if I wanted to, but is it worth the time and effort?

I'm referring to searching and filtering for trustworthy individuals who can and will deliver their duty. Individuals who has high potentials of becoming great business partners and shares the same vision and goal.

Pots of gold are lying everywhere. We can see them and we're digging for them. The only difference is - the time factor.

Much has been said, nothing has been heard so far.

I'll still patiently and diligently search for potential individuals. After all, great partners don't come by easy.

Just a tribute to Ray Kroc, the Father of the Fast Food industry.

He was 51 years old when McDonalds first opened their doors to the public. He was a milkshake machine salesman.

He saw the opportunity when the business was beginning to bloom and catching its pace. Problem is, there was only one restaurant in town.

He approached the brothers and propose the idea of franchising. Soon enough in 2 years time, he has his very own McDonald's restaurant.

However, things wasn't easy for him as the brothers kept requesting to filter through his ideas and systems he wanted to implement. Ray Kroc then decided to buy over the entire company to himself. And true enough he did.

Ray Kroc was a genius in terms of creating a system where diners always have the same fantastic dining experience at McDonald's by ensuring all franchises owns the same facilities and implement the same system. All products will be measured and pricing will be the same.

Today, McDonald's is the icon of the fast food industry, all thanks to Ray Kroc, a 51 years old milkshake machine salesman.

If you're not interested in what I'm proposing, what you can do to help out is by looking around you. Do you have an uncle who has been sharing that he's been looking for opportunities to work out with? Wanting to invest into a highly potential business that will earn millions?

It doesn't matter how old that person is, or who that person is. It's the mindset and passion that counts.



Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.

Revelation

For those who's been wondering the image of our floats stall, located at the front our ex secondary school - your patience shall not be tested any further.

There's nothing to hide, as we've already publicly displayed the stall and hoping for a good response in the market.

Having said that, it is also understood that there wasn't much in depth planning of the design as our budget is really tight.

We did not have any expert consultants or mentor, any graduates in business for the matter.

By having assistance from experts or at least a certain sufficient amount of knowledge on designs and how to creatively tackle the budget problem, I would say the stall would appear to be much more appealing.

I mean, I'm sure by now, you've come across many different types of stalls consisting of burger stalls, nasi lemak stalls, ching nong pao stalls, mata air kucing stalls, jenny hong's stalls, kuih-muih stalls, ice kacang/cendol stalls, bubble tea stalls, pisang goreng stalls, taiwan sausage stalls, rojak stalls, satey stalls . .

But the design of our stall is nothing close to that.

With some mediocre skills of adobe photoshop, some items from home, some products from Ikea, some products from Jaya Jusco and its home centre and some products from Giant, we manage to create a really one of a kind stall.

Without fail, we have anonymous faces giving an awkward stare or sneering away when they noticed the existence of our stall.

My relatives did enquire about what we're up to. And every time we inform them about the stall, somehow i got the feeling the image of the stall is not going to meet up their expectations. Even Gary is not too keen on sharing the news.

Well, one fine day, we'll look back at this and just laugh our heads off. But all of this definitely worth every single sweat and tears.

I guess probably by now, you'll be questioning,

"ENOUGH WITH THE WORDS! PICTURES!?"





Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.

The Big Decision

There's lots more than meets the eye.

We shall allow them to meet the eye.

What if you fail?

One of the best asset you can ever have for your company.

Tonnes of crappy people out there to have as partners.

Crappy entrepreneurs = Crappy partners.

Be realistic, what makes you think you're the 1 out of millions?

I wonder what will happen if Bill Gates pasted that phrase on his bedroom wall?

The big boss' supposed to do almost all the work, not his directors.

The Board of Directors look out for each other, not for the profit. Sharing the same vision, the same goal of the company and achieving greater heights together.

If you're so successful, why aren't you as equally as wealthy as the 19 year old teenager who opened his own boutique?

The definition of a successful individual is not by what he/she owns but who he/she is.

Opportunities are lurking everywhere. It's whether we're there to seize them.


Yet, at the end of the day, it's all about the "Calling".

Thanks for your time.


God bless, cheers.

Let's get down to real business . .

And so, it begins.

The preparation for the big showdown at 2008 must begin now to avoid detrimental effects.

However, to ensure the intended message to be conveyed to the large scope of audience, I must organize this properly.

Firstly, I'm currently building up an organization, or more accurately, a business organization. The name of the organization - ExO (Extraordinaries).

Each member in the organization has unique abilities, specialized in their fields to contribute to the business. After all, the main point of building this organization is to leverage on each other's strength instead of trying to do everything on my own.

Yet, one of the main criteria of being an ExO, is to be an ExO with an attitude. All efforts would be futile if the organization cannot work along efficiently.

Another criteria is that the ExO must be fluent in English. Communication is vital during business meetings.

And of course, without a business mind, there's no point considering this invitation.

Right now, my mini-yet-growing-organization is working on small projects such as R&D and the organization's logo.

Any inquiries are welcomed.

College life is catching up on me.

Assignments and exams are becoming more and more demanding on my tight schedule.

The folks at college are still roughly the same. Isolation is really getting familiar with me.

At the same time, I'm looking out for opportunities to fix my finance aspect. Of course, I'm thankful that God has been really merciful to me. I also believe He would bless me with opportunities if it is part of His plan.

Still working on my spiritual side as well. Every night before I close my eyes, I would softly whisper to God's ears, praying for to remain focused on Him and not lose sight.

I apologize for the absence of images in the post. It just occurred to me that there's no necessity for posting any images.

Coming up next, "Updates on the progress . . / How to survive in College?"

Thank you for your support and time,

God bless, cheers.
