(2005) Brides of year 2005

sdl, food business ah... so you will provide breakfast? if your area got a lot of working parents with young kids, will be good to cater to them.... maybe do something nutritious?
wat's jc's parents' tradition?
 


My bro-in-law started his pet-grooming stall just a couple yrs back.. that type of business even though is mainly interest based, but when advertisement is not broadly based enough, it is as good as dead.. i.e. he quit after just a few months!
 
ya lor...... somemore now the politics in my dept is getting worse and i'm actually feeling that it's getting competitive within my own team..... it's like now got to be on guard of everyone even my own lunch kakis.....
 
sdl, it's easy to start a biz but it's hard to maintain it going..... my sil also opened a cafe with a few friends..... also gone after 2 months..... i can't imagine the amt of $$ that is gone with the wind.....
 
Daphne.. we thought of the morning food express.. cuz eunos got lots of ppl moving in and out.. so hopefully will come across our designated stall and have a quickie breakfast before heading to work lor.. my IL's neighboring stall opened that type of business.. and every morning their business is tops with lots of customers queuing for it. Best of all, they only work in mornings.. and lavish with their earnings the rest of the afternoon. How envious!!

My IL's food tradition is Wanton noodles, chicken feet noodles.
 
i admire my friend who started his own biz in aussie (with some help from his gf then - now wife). he is in the furniture business and now, i think he is already a proud owner of 3 outlets. so sometimes, i think it also depend on luck. he started with only $5000 but used his gf's family shops as storage and also loan some $$ to buy more furniture etc.....
 
I guess it also comes with luck and the area we wanna start it. My wedding emcee started her cafe with a couple of friends, and till now I heard it's still going strong, infact expecting to expand their branch soon. They started their cafe within the city.
 
Daphne.. yea, we are also contemplating that

too much of a normal eye perspective will not attract ppl's attn.
 
Daphne/SDL
I agreed its all depend on luck... Years back, my hb start up a smoothie drink stall... but as at time, no one appreciate, so in few mths time, the stall oso closed lao...and now u see smoothies are popular lao...

Sometimes, some are hit and run business, eg : pearl milk tea and roti-boy.... its come and go fast !!!
 
SDL,
Can see that ur area will get quite popular..cos its a new place..and ur block is near to the MRT.. morning express seem good and u do need to apply licence to operate there ya....
 
jenn, i agree lor... some are just in fashion for a while niah...... like the taiwan shilin.... wah, long queues just to eat the fried chicken chop...... but now, so so only...... same as breadtalk..... when i went to indonesia, it was so popular that pp even started queueing from the kitchen to get the breads fresh from oven..... and then u gotta queue for at least another 30 mins just to pay! but now, i heard it's becoming just like another bread shop.
 
Jenn.. license is small thing.. its the rental that is a major ppt for consideration. The nearer to the MRT, the rental is higher. and we heard the going rate is $4k per month in the stalls nearest to the Eunos MRT. we are thinking of the areas near the wet mkt, where its cheaper.
 
I guess we also have to be flexible in changing the menus if the trend goes down for a certain food for thought, so we cann turn things around to keep afloat.
 
Daphne,
Doing hit and run buz, is to able to earn that revenue and run fast...but ppl are greedy lor, they will open many retails to maximise profit.
Then when see red figure, then closure..by then, the loss suffering is great...
 
wow, all toking abt setting up business now huh?

Hb and I also intend to start up a business lor...cos we figured taht we can't depend on the miserable salary now lor...got to have other source of income like wat Adam Khoo said " Maximise income and minimise expediture , also have many streams of income rather than one lor =)...."...somemore if have children liao, the pay also not enough lor, u guys agree?
 
SDL
Spore pool franchise ???But ur monthly revenue is only 1 or 3% of ur total monthly collection, for eg: if u collected on behalf is $100,000, ur mthly revenue is either $1000 or $3000, beside that, u still need to pay for the shop rental and electricity.....
 
Jenn, ya that also a major consideration.. so miserly hor?! thats why location very important for that one, otherwise confirm will dao bi!
 
SDL
yes... is not easy.. that is why lor... further if ur stall is really wang like yishun..always hv long queue when buying toto or NY Ang Bao, then is worth it lor...

My ex-co used to open one booth in the south area and getta robery ya...
 
my uncle used to hv a stall sellin nasi lemak n prawn noodles at bishan area. but also dao bi cos nt doin well. every mth seein red, thou can cover rental but goten fork out more $$ to pay for the ingredients n other stuff. nw they got lobang n hv gone to UK to work. if all's well, tink they might jus settle there liao..
 
Newbbi
I agreed lor, that is why till now, me and hb dun dare to think abt kids yet...just save as much as we can first lor....

BTW, how is ur brother ??? He is out fm high dependancy ward ???
 
Wa ting,
How come ur uncle got such good lobang to go to UK to work ??? IF he settled down there, he can re-opened the stall again...cos uk ppl had start to appreciate asian food...
 
Jenn.. yea, and furthermore now very hard to find a spot where there's crowd pullers and no other franchise competitors ard.

Think kids will also be a major hindrance.. so at moment we have to save and put it off at latter stages..
 
Ting.. yea!! since we both studied in UK, and Scotland being our fav country and with few chinese eateries.. we can actually open a stall there, even though abit far-fetched. haiz.. dreams dreams~~
 
jenn- my dad's fren got this fren who's the owner of a restau there. my uncle wil help out in the restau while my aunt wil help to take care of the kids. my mum was sayin if all went well, she n my dad also wana go over! work for few yrs thn cm bk...
 
SDL
Wa...so fast, u are going out to be a big snake huh ??? kee kee

BTW, u bot Nokia 73, is it ??? I am thinking of buying N70, cos got the $100 voucher, any comment abt this hp ???

Ting,newbbi
I think those couples who short-gun shld watch the show, cos its reflect the same thing they are going thru - unplanned preganancy and not stable to settled down yet .....
 
Newbbi
But at least is a good news that he is in the normal ward now, well doc know the best..just 4 more days to next week...tell him it will pass very fast wan...
 
exactly lor. tink later part of the show, they decide to file for divorce. but the gal reali too much lah, at least shd care for the bb n feed her mah. everythin also leave to mil.
 
ha ha... ting,
That oso explains why some MIL dun want to help to take care of bb...cos scared their DIL push all tasks to them... kee kee, is a serial that reflect the reality which young singaporean couples are facing right now....
