We serve Mint, Apple, Melon, Coffee, Strawberry, Mix Fruit flavors..

The weekend passed so fast that I forgot to breath.

On Saturday was the launching of my Shisha business at Taj Mahal at Seri Petaling. I am collaborating with BusinessPartner2 (BP2). I see the idea as a great opportunity given the location. What is more important that BP2 is very enthusiastic of running the show. I am very glad that she is because, honestly I know nuts about shisha. Barely could have a decent drag without choking. But as I said again, the meager Excel spreadsheet I use for the PnL shows potential.

Close friends came to show their support and that was really thoughtful of them, brick and bats are highly appreciated and we took note that the charcoals used last night are useless.

The team that set up the joint:

Me – Co-owner, the active sleeping partner that counts the dosh
BP2 – Co-owner, Operations Manager – skilled in smoking the hookah and PR skills that charmed the Mamak owner
Abe – Shisha Consultant – highly skilled in hookah retail and every detail of the art of smoking it (hired 4 hours before stall opened)
Adek – Operations Assistant – very fit and surpass expectations.
Friends, and friends of friends – supporters.

Tonight is Day 2, for Shisha. Spirits are still running high. I just got a text that orders are picking up and that is a very good sign. I am very happy that BP2 shows a change person now, not that I should judge her then. But all in all, I have faith in her and given her personal liking for Shisha, I think this is a good business for her too.

I pray that this goes well. I must have been really knackered last night from running around (even though I wasn’t the one hammering charcoals). I dreamt that the Shisha business went really well and I was about to announce an all paid company trip to the team. HAHA! Well, you never know rite? And it always starts as a dream.

Ending this, I invite you to come smoke some hot-ass flavored Shisha at Taj Mahal, Seri Petaling. The food is great too, like you can sing...

"Baby, where did u get your curry from - I got it from my MaMak,
Where did u get your kopi from - I got it from my MaMak.."

Seri Petaling is surprisingly near to PJ, Bukit Jalil, Kompleks Sukan Negara, Puchong, Old Klang Road, Mid Valley, Bangsar and Cheras.

Blast from the past

I started blogging a long time ago. With many dramas that unfolded with due respect to the entries from my blog and some not, my rantings went from one home to another. I don't see myself as a fantastic writer, in fact mediocre that I am actually surprise that people do pay for the things I write. The moolah goes a long way... all the way to the banks, the credit card bills to be exact.

I am surprised that I could track back where I moved my old blog. It is nice to read and recall what happened then. It is my not so secret diary. Oh, I remember my mom once found my diary, that I thought I hid so well which was under the mattress, it must have been the default diary hiding place. And boy, she wasn't a happy mother that week.

There is this Entrepreneur side of me, where I was so excited to put up the post on an Educational Portal thing. I think that got the ball rolling. And now, I have my CrazyForHandbag baby project. It is going for the second run, and I can't wait to go get the handbags. It is this crazy feeling when I have really really nice and affordable handbags to show. Certain things make me feel this good like... nice handbags, salmon and massages.

Stoned

Man, have I been angry over the past few months. It is physically showing, because I have an unexplained rash now.

So, I am releasing all anger and unwanted emotional toxins from the system. Shoo.. shoo.. release… *throw stones marked with the things I want to let go down the cliff*

I have been watching a lot of Men In Trees. The second season is not as good as the first one, but my fascination of Alaska keeps me glued. Is there anybody from this side of the world that wants to visit Alaska? Apart of the extreme coldness, I would love to see the Northern Light, humpback whale tour and the beautiful scenery.

















A good new year to you all!!
I am going to like 2008, because I am going to make it GOOD.
