Blogless and plans for 2007 | Monday, November 27, 2006
Its has been a few days since I last blog.. Well for me there isnt anything happen.. Still the very same old ben that anyone knew.. There might be slight, little or even nothing had happen..
Just awaiting for Bangkok trip to come fast.. Take a nice break and await for any bonus coming up.. After which I shall see if I can see any increment for me.. Before I left DLS to work on my own.
2007 might be on of the busiest year in my life. I got to cope with the new shop and doing my degree. Thus I got to give my VSC role. No more nite duties of 7-11, Ops or any National Events. The main aim of 2007 is to do up the new Seng Bee. To get everything up and stable within six mths into it. I know it will be hard. But with the support of my friends, dad's old customer. The new customers in the area. I guess it might be much easier for me..
Afterwhich my studies in SIM. Into the second semester and just another 2 years. I will be through graduated with a degree. Tough life indeed but I will keep going. Some ask... Why get a degree when you had plans to do bicycle?? Well, my reply was always... So many of my friends got a degree so why not. I even had plans for MBA after doing my degree. Got to always upgrade onself in order to see something different.
Thats what I had plan so far within the 2 years of my life. This is the path which I will take for my career/hobbies. Dun you think it will be such a good business always. Be it cycling as transportation, hobbies, sports or for slimming down. There is so much need for a bicycle. The always rising fare for public transport, The always expensive cars.
Imagine how much you can save if you can actually cycle to work. How much healthier you can be by exercising. How much better our environment will be with lesser exhaust air. Meanwhile can only think of these few good points in mind.
Cycling can also be a healthy workout if you want to slim down. Dun like to cycle outside on road. There is personal trainer which enables you to do it at home. Together with a healthy diet, results would be seen fast. Will soon work out a plan with a sports diet consultant. It shall be a plus point to use cycling to look slimmer and healthier.
Ideas will be coming out soon... Will be trying to source parts and accessories soon. Making ourself to be the sole distributor and sorts. Wanna push this new shop to a yearly turnover of 500k by 2nd year. Then other plans in my life would have come into place.
Think and plan of such.. Work for onself, you will see the results from the fruits you bear. Slog for others pushes them even further up the earning tables. So since still young why not come out and do something great.. Do something you will feel proud of yourself. Cos once you missed the period of time. You will not have the guts anymore..
Thats what anthony and me had missed.. We actually had a plan in 2003 to have a all in entertainment outlet for everyone. Something like what cineleisure is having now. Cinema, pool, arcade, lan gaming, bowling, ktv.. All this in one area for 24hrs.. Too bad we are not rich businessman who can invest. So we can only talk about it. And see people doing it.. Perhaps this life. Money makes wonder.. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.. We actually had 55,000 Singaporeans who are millionaires. US1million I mean..
So lets work hard towards it.. To get 1million in life, not accounting to the assets. But 1million in liquid funds. Then people will look at you differently.
Roger so far..

Run 1 | Tuesday, November 21, 2006
Run 1 is a total new thing from Jog 1. Jog was meant for the runs I did in the gym While run will be meant for the runs outside. Did my 1st run at Bedok Res. Completed the whole course in 40min Seem a little slow. Distance cover should be more than 4.3km. Indeed a very nice workout. The stunning part was not I had jog there. Its with who I had jog with. My sec sch classmate. Never ever think that I would ever do it.
The Jog was nice with some catch up for the past 8 years. So much things had happen So much things had been mistaken So much things to be remembered So much of a surprise Thats so much for the time being..
Run 2 will come soon.. With the target of getting it done below 30min
Roger so far..

New Shop | Monday, November 20, 2006
Well on the 15th Nov 2006, My dad had decided on the location of the new shop to be. It shall be located at Blk 5 Upper Boon Keng Rd #01-12. Handover date will be around mid dec. So plans had to make fast...
Got to make a payment of 92% of the value. 485K So got to look for bank loans liao. And trying to compare and get the cheapest interest rates. After which got to look at the renovation Due to space constraint, The whole shop shall be fully utilised to the ceiling. After doing the sums for the major cash flow. Then comes the monthly expenses. The utility charges, salary all came into place.
From a conservative point of view 4.5K will be needed for the payments of such loans n bills. Which means to say $150 profit had to be generated to cover such cost. This is the 1st time in my life that I felt this much of pressure.. Cause Im afraid that I cant match what I want for myself. For the achievement my dad has done. To match him would be hard and not to say surpass him. Unless I can hit a turnover of ard 1200 per day. I would have pocketed a nice handsome profit.
Some of the possible brands that the new shop might be selling. 1. Giant Bicycle 2. Fox racing accessories 3. Shimano 4. LAS helmet 5. Easton/Thomson 6. Fizik seat 7. Cateye 8. Minoura 9. Topeak 10. Tyres=Panaracer or Maxxis or some other brands.. 11. Cycling shoes=Addidas/Shimano/Sidi 12. Rims=Mavic or some other?
There is actually lots of brands out there. Meanwhile only thought of these few which will be in. Got to look ard and search for more if the space at the new shop permits.
Roger so far..

Friend 1 | Friday, November 03, 2006
Well, you see me posting the number of jogs I done. Now I shall post on how I know about my friends and sorts. Rather than posting on their friendster's testi. How we met till what-so-ever.. Got this inspiration from this very lady I shall blog on. Xiaoli shall be the first person.
Get to know this cute lady in DLS since 3rd April 2006. She was my course mate during poly and blind as I. Never saw her in poly before. Sociable girl saw her blend into my group of classmates 1st day lunch at Hong Lim complex during our orientation lunch break. Furthermore the medical checkup we went in such a big group. Indeed very friendly which breaks the ice of unfamiliarity.
She was 'posted' to the same team with one of my classmate. Thank goodness her temper should be real good.. Only until recently when she cant stand it anymore. However at times she can be Attitude.. 'I Slap U' are her favourite verse. Or 'bored', 'Boooo' are the other few. Online purchase of clothings from 'Mr Q' 'Missilover' Never knew that she was still so young
Whats more about her.. I guess meanwhile only can write up to here. Unless she shared more things about her.
Roger so far..

Jog 4 | Thursday, November 02, 2006
Ya did my Jog 4.. But a very short one only.. It had told me that consistency is very important.
After 4 days of slacking. Then when I go up the threadmill. I just go push myself as hard.
Set the speed at 13.0 in order to hit 2.4km below 12min Then only 3min through the run of 600m Game over for me. Cant carry on anymore.
Rest for awhile and do it at speed 8.0 Then only managed to do another 7mins and die off again. So went over to the cycling section. Did the fats burn and also for another 10mins.
Thats all for the exercise yesternite. Tonight shall run again. But I feel that I can do much better.
Cos yesternite was another warm up session. Shall do: 5min of speed 13.0 10min of speed 8.0 10min of speed 9.0 5min of speed 10.0 Shall see how it goes later..
Roger so far..
