merry christmas!!

Good evening my readers! It's christmas eve now... I'm here wishing all my readers Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...

How's christmas eve going? Time flies... I didn't realize it's christmas eve now till yesterday morning i saw somebody's facebook comment about christmas eve tomorrow.. We are quitting later.. Going back to Brunei later afternoon or evening. How's business going on? I would say marketing and strategic planning is very important in business success.

What I have learnt, what kind of business you open related to the kind of customer you will attract. Just like opposite my shop there opened a new dessert shop, with a varieties of desserts available, nice interior and exterior designs as well as with air conditioned. They attract rich customers.... There were times i was sitting in my shop, spotting luxury cars like mercs, bmw, camry, lexus and so forth, they parked next to my shop and walked in to the dessert shop. These are Miri cars, with malaysia car plate. Miri people with these kind of cars can say like... they are very rich... Or should i say they are like bruneians keep spend spend and spend like there's no tomorrow? I found those rich aunties too, with branded bags and clothes, hair blew up till high like the mountain...! hahaha...

What about my cafe? What customers do we attract? Most of our customers drive like atos, proton cars, and so forth. Our customers are all very stingy people. Not all i suppose, maybe some are generous. I remembered there was an uncle came and ask the price of our leftover half stream chicken. I said RM 10 for half portion. That uncle gave a smelly face said, " what?? so expensive???! the next next shop only sell RM 16 or RM 17 for whole chicken and we sell RM10 for half portion so costly!!!" I still remember his smelly face!!! hahaha. He wants discount but we insist with our current price. My mum just went to ask the market price of steam chicken, and there goes rm 20+ for whole chicken ... and my brother said to me, " got RM 18!!!! that is years back!!"

What kind of business you do really attract what kind of customers... Our customers are mostly low income earners, while the dessert shop's customers are medium or high income. Or maybe it's still fresh i guess? My dad said, who would eat desserts everyday? It depends ... Just like kokoberry shop, taiwan ice shops, as well as shiki sushi restaurant, they are all located at our areas, and they closed down!!! Just few months away i see they are opened, and i wanted to try the taiwan ice and now??? Can you feel the creepiness which shop would be next??? My friend told me she heart shiki sushi restaurant moved... i'm not sure tho.. hopefully..

That's all i guess for now... It's very late and i gotta sleep now.. Goodnights !! ;)

好人難做

I was driving the other day listening to radio, and they came up with this topic “好人難做” . And I totally agreed with it. Don't you think so? There are so many people around us. There are the good ones and the bad ones. How do you face them? The good ones that will be alright just be good to them too. People said how they treat you that's how you treat them back. If they treat you bad or terrible, would you be bad to them too? If you treat them good, they would take advantages... What should the 好人 do?

According to the radio, “好人”will always be ranked below the “坏人”. This is because good people don't like challenges, they don't really strive in order to achieve something. They think that if it's yours, it will come to you one day. The good people tend to give way and this gives the bad people opportunities. “坏人”will strive until end and never give up for something he/she wants. For example, if "好人" being a manager and "坏人" is an employee. 坏人 will set the manager as a target in order to takeover his/her position. The manager doesn't set target and sees everyone as one. If "坏人" is a manager and "好人" an employee, the 坏人 will observe everyone carefully and demolish those who could influence him.

What the radio suggest us to be? If we become “好人”, we tend to be bullied by the “坏人”. Be a good person or a bad person? Some people thinks that good people will receive good retribution. Is that so? If it is true, when will you receive good retribution? Until you get old?
I'm not sure what the radio said, if you don't want to be bullied, and don't want to be too harsh. Then it would be better to be "好的贱人" . It means like from outside you treat people nicely, people think you're a good person but internally you're opposite. You observe analyze everything and plan them nicely and kick them out when the time comes?


I think this kind of person is the worst. But this kind of person success most of the time. 好人 is soooo hard to be. Let's learn how to be harsh... =)


Let's get back to my miri life. Lunch time is the most busiest hours, and there's time we are lack of employees and those. Last 2 days i was helping up and guess what? One customer order 1 steamchicken rice, he want drumstick. I told my maid and ask her to cut the chicken, but nobody is free at that time, people order ABC, rojak. End up??? I cut the chicken!!!

It's very simple rite... Use the knife and "dork dork dork" . My first time ever cutting chicken... It's a very funny experience... Can you imagine a lady cutting chicken? It's like very ... what do you call that.. haha .. Normally drumstick side from thien thien, how many pieces can they cut? At first i cut it very nice, I cut the drumstick into 3 pieces. I didn't get to take pictures.. My maid said I cut till too big... 1 more chop from me... and the drumstick goes... ...

Can't think about it and fast fast spray the source over and pass it to customer...

My mum's bak kut teh is getting famous very soon... I got a nice bak kut teh picture and make my menus, I stick it at the shop and the next day there goes 9 bowls of bak kut teh out!!! There is this sentence 人靠衣饰. Everyone judge a book by its cover..

Claypot mee and claypot rice are coming very soon at Li Da Hua Cafe! =)

I'm currently at miri helping up my mum and sister to jaga shop. Should i say jaga shop? or mess it up? Yesterday i serving customers order food and drinks. I ask them what do they want to drink. I didn't know my dad sell sea coconut drink here. One customer asked me do you have what "hai di ye" , i thought it was those like fresh coconut drink, and I don't see any coconuts here, thus i say don't have. And the customer frowned and wonder why got the poster at the wall and he order other drink. I didn't know what poster he was mentioning about till the next day i saw people order sea coconut ping, it's actually not those fresh coconuts but those like juice and add water. And there's poster sticking on the wall too. LOL.
