A new venture

I had a talk with a relative recently. Apparently one have to venture into different types of business to be successful. And to be successful in each venture, there must be sacrifices either monetary or time wise.

One of the ventures that intrigues me is restaurant business.

The first thing is to select your food style. It can be something that you have created, you get ppl to cook it or by a franchise.

Secondly..the restaurant equipment. I believe normal household equipment is not enough to handle the high volume of a restaurant. Apart from that, you might need stuff like bakery display cases (for the cakes, brownies..of yum)... bar supplies... also the usual thing like refrigerator and freezer... Then when the restaurant gains a bit of popularity, the next step is to be a caterer so that you can get your brand name to more people...and you will need catering supplies and a vehicle to properly transport all the catered food to the locations.

Time and effort are important ingredients to make a business venture successful.

p/s I think restaurant cleanliness is very important. A dirty restaurant means bad reputation. Btw, I am imagining a fully air-conditioned restaurant and I hate to see dirty toilets or to imagine that the restaurant kitchen is dirty... It will be ghastly. That's why janitorial supplies is so important.

Hiatus

I havent been posting for more than a year. amazing how time just flies... During this one year, I have been adapting to a new working environment...and I am still adjusting. It seems that I am still in the invisible mode which suits me just fine.

Will be going on an out-of-the-country trip with my mum. It’s her once-every-two-years treat to me. I shall be touring Taiwan and hoping to eat as much food as I possibly can. Do as much shopping as my purse will allow.

But before that, my flu and cough better be gone because I don’t want to look sickly in my travel photos.

What should I get?

Got invited to a christmas party and I have not gotten the present ready yet. Oh no~!!

I seems to be infected with flu virus... at this time..when it is holidays season. I think I will swallow loads of vitamin c when I go home and sleep the whole afternoon. Hopefully that will work and I will be ok.

The gift... That is something I am going to have to think long and hard. Something that can be suitable for a guy or a girl. I am considering a few options.

One of them is to buy toiletries... But the risk is that the fragrance - I cant differentiate the feminine or masculine fragrance.

Then, there this is this iTunes Online gift. I will be able to customize my gift according to the person I want to give to. No worries about it.

Got to rush out. Need to check that iTunes out asap. There isn't much time left.

Sorry

Sorry for being away for so long. A lot of things has happened and I just keep delaying and missing out on a lot of stuff.

Sigh...

Did learn that I have to let go of some issues that have been bothering me. Feel pointless to let them get on my nerves.

Family

One thing that I have been regretting the most is probably the fact that I did not get the chance to take a family portrait with Grandpa and Grandma when I have grown up. I am not talking about the family photo taken at home with a home camera but with a professional photographer.

But it is quite expensive to get such picture taken because of the sitting fee. It is annoying that one need to pay upfront such fee before the photos are taken.

Recently as I was surfing around the Internet, I stumbled upon a site that offers some attractive stuff. First of all, there is sitting fee. Yea!! Then, you can get $50 off coupon. Another Yea! That is a lot of savings.

Here is the down for me. It is available only in Philadelphia. But if you are in that area, do check out New Jersey Beach Portraits.

To get or not to get

I am contemplating between getting this accounting program or not. The thing is that to get it will mean that I need to get a loan from Mumsie but I dont want to. But not to get it will mean I have to work extra hard to complete the book keeping.

Decision decision.

Havent been able to reach Mumsie to discuss this with here. Is this a sign that I shouldnt get the program?

Ah... Decision..decision...

Opps! I did it again!

Opps~~!

Once again, I have fallen into the trap of online shopping. I dont have to step out of the house or should I say office to buy stuff. This time, I bought a Gucci inspired handbag. Gasp~

Recently I found another place where they offer a lot of stuff that is quite retro and to be honest, I miss those stuff. For example, the Pokemon card. I remember JWei used to be so crazy and played with the cards whole day. I wonder if I get the cards for him now, will he still be interested in them? Maybe not. Maybe he will ponder about it for a while and then put it aside... Talk about having new things to play with.

If only... If only I have all the cash in the world, I would buy all the pins in the whole world...Hehe.. Looking at those pins makes me think of my pathetic pins collection. I would really love to add a few more pins to my Disney's seven dwarves collection - make it a complete Disney pins collection. Wouldnt that sounds nice?

Ah.. time to get back to reality. :p
