mind my own business

seriously...i've been wanting to set up my own business for a long time now. (and i actually believe i have pretty good business acumens!) the opportunity has come;- someone's willing to fork out money to support my entrepreneurship!

now the issue is: what business should i go into???

i really like Mel's life as a tattoo artist. he owns a shophouse right at Pagoda street, in the heart of Chinatown! where he lives and work at the same place. everyday he gets to interact with all sorts of people; tourists and locals alike. many of his customers became his friend after. his shop is always filled with friends who have come to hang out, just chill and to play pool with him.

then i was at this expensive (but good) physiotherapy clinic owned by this lady at Cecil St. she waits for the people who have made appointment to see her for the day. and while doing physio, she chats with her patients about what happened over the weekend, the latest topics in town and all... heaps of interactions and her job satisfaction comes in when she knows that she played an important part in their recovery process.

i wish i can be like them...have my own business, do something i have passion for, meet different people everyday, interact and derive job satisfaction...

but how? cos i don't know how to poke needles and put ink into people's flesh...nor do i know anything about fixing an injured wrist.

so can someone help me think of what business should i go into??

all your idea sucks! HAHAHAHA.......

ivan: but i know nuts about design :(

liling: i think we will incur very high internal pilferage costs (cos we eat up our own desserts) than to sell enough to break even!

doramon: altho that is a special set of skills that i possess, but i don't think i can get enough people to like crazy cats. no customer base.

sibeh sian: you are hopelessly si beh sian

INTERACTION! I NEED INTERACTION WITH CUSTOMERSSSS......sigh. maybe i should open counselling center. counsel all the addict gamblers and convince them that what they r doing is right and should carry on. YAY!

Yup, we need people to make cranky people instead of cranky cats instead. But isn't our govt oredi doing a good job with that?
