Stop my self-denial
Start denying myself
The End?
Monday, April 28, 2008
As those who has stayed loyal to my blog long enough, U do realize that my blog entries are getting shorter, and rather.... Strange... Metaphoric... Emo?..... Or jus plainly lazy, diced up load of gibberish....
Decided to write something slightly longer... Why?
FOR my avid reading fans!!!!!
No.... U wish....
To celebrate the first book I've bought for myself for a LONG LONG LONG LONG TIME!!! How long has it been???? 1 year??? And within that year, the only reading materials I've read were like my Bible? Text Book? Teaching Notes? News paper? (is reading Messages in my phone and MSN messnger counted?)
Before I start talkin bout my book... I've gotta really say a little bout myself.. I've a rather strange habit of buying books when I'm seriously in need of cash... I'm usually found wasting and splurging all my money at expensive dining places, or something... That's when I'm less desperate/strapped for cash...
I'll always be investing in the right stuff when I find the Finance Strap contracting and gripping my head...
Hahahaz...
I know by the time u've read till this point.... U'll wish I would be in front of you and U could yell something like "BORROW BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY U FOOL!!!"
Jus to clarify that.... I find joy and pain in buying stuff for myself... I find it both rewarding and dumb to purchase and own something of my own... But I always believed that unless that item(especially books) is bought by me(Stewart), I will find myself treating that item that I've borrowed with less importance.... especially books... borrowed from library or friends... Interesting at the first mins upon reading it... then the days that follows... It'll usually collect dust till it's time to return it...
OK! about my book.....
I'm sure all of you know about Starbucks(if u don't, u must have time traveled from the medival ages), how many of you are loyal customers to that brand?
It should be the most prospering cafe in Singapore? I'm not exactly their loyal customers as I've found my heart in a humbler cafe.. But Starbucks is still a brand that rather dear to me... I'm not sure whether it is the first cafe I've been in and ordered my first western coffee(not KOPI), but I remb crafting my first lofty ambitions, business ideas there. I was impressed by both the taste of the coffee and the quality of service that hence forth, it has been my benchmark for other cafes... (Coffeebean and Teafleaf is whacked, no offence to Coffe bean fans.. but... Seriously.. )
Being 14(I'm sure it's rather old... U must have went to starbucks when u were wad? 3? stopped drinking milk? decided to switch to brain pounding caffine?), and in a average family, I'm impressed by the natural casual service from the waiters in starbucks.. Unlike perhaps TCC, or Coffee Club.. Formality is and structure is much casual... I was surprised that U actually found cliques and friends chatting away hapily while serving their customers.. But still make simple yet tasty treats.. Always self-service, there's no need for the waiters to be standing at the corner to wait to clear your plate, or serve u drinks(Excuse me sir, your drink is here..?) LOL...
Wad makes starbucks such a success? How did it made it from being jus another cafe, to a global business? I've gotta find out... Even though my love is in another cafe... But everybody has to admit that Starbucks being a global business, still able to keep their quality in coffee rather high and competitive that they can pit themselves against other tastier easier-to-manage, small scale cafes.. I mean think about this... When things go big, or many, especially when it starts to sprout miles away from the motherland... Quality will SURELY drop... Service standards and stuff... will start to mess up... Unskilled business-wannabes like me will soon find myself not only messing up my branches and franchise, but also my original branch....
Ha...
I'm hoping to find more answers in the book The Starbucks Experience..
For all wannabes out there... If u're looking for a service line kinda enterprise... Seriously... look up to starbucks... hahahaz...
I'll blog more about this subject afta I've read the book...

I am the professional LETDOWN....
Need a splash of cold water(metaphorically)? call me..
The End?
A person can never juggle with 2 or more contasting persona's... One will be less prominent, but ultimately... the guy will look stupid..
The more I know, the more i realize how much I am not putting up what I know.... A man can't multi-task like that.
A wise man is suppose to know what he's saying... A wise man is careful with his words and actions.... I am not that yet...
LOL...
The End?
