Recently, I came across this food blog by a 20 year old girl. She's a chef-in-learning and just went overseas for her chef studies. Althought I do not know her, but by reading through her blog posts it's like I can see how much she loves food and cooking, and all the efforts she take to come up with a meal for her family! I mean yes, I cook for my family at times too, but I dunno.. it just feels different. Perhaps her presentation and food description boomzified me? Haha..

I admire her passion. Extreme passion and willing to take a path other than a normal Singaporean.. JC>Uni>9 to 5 job. For myself, I have no much of a choice other than to carry on in the workforce.
I have been thinking recently too.. as to what do I want to do. I want to open a cafe/restaurant and set up an events company. Both are my passion. But the thing is, I cannot open a restaurant without a chef. I need to find one, and this is a main problem! Thai chef from thailand? Indon chef fron Indon? Just go there for a month and try to find one good one and ask if he's interested in working in Singapore? This is so drama! Do I think it can work out, yes i do. Haha.. extreme optimism from me. Aside from the chef, there's the logistics, menu, marketing and publicity... And the menu.. pricing.. raw ingredients and stuff! What's my start up cost, and how much how long before my money comes back? Lots and lots and lots of research. Should I just start and if it's just a time wasting thing cuz I cant find a chef, you never know what would happen in future. Ok, I jus decided I would start on my research slowly.
The next thing.. events company. No head no tail. I've done events and stuff, but I need a platform. The platform would be to work in an events company. But it's usually 9 to 5, and I cannot do it with my current job. I'm not going to give up my current job yet cuz I just started. Oh my.. Marcus... I hope we can really come up with something once you grad in June.
Tuition centre is another thing I thought of, but it's simply because it's easy money. Haha.. And it's the easiest of all. Get a place, get furniture, get teachers, market urself like a somebodehh and hope people will come to you. An almost no brainer if we dont consider all the admin, licensing and manpower-ing issues.
