I've always been dreaming of having my shop.
It's those kind of shophouses where you have 2 storeys.
The 1st level will be a cafe where I'll serve up some pastries,
premium coffee and tea, cookies, muffins...
Yanru will be my pattisseur who shall come up with all the delicious cakes and such.
I will also recommend every-week lunch specials.
The 2nd level will be my little boutique where I'll sell
clothes belonging to my own label.
Ladies will be shopping on the 2nd level while gentlemen will have their coffee on the 1st level.
Isn't that great???
If the ladies need a little alteration to their clothes, I can have them sit at the cafe to enjoy their afternoon tea while I alter them upstairs!
But Yanru says that I can only have such shops in other countries. Definitely not Singapore.
They suggested having a gaming centre on the 2nd level instead.
Cos gaming centre earns quite a lot.
Besides I can have the cafe downstairs to provide drinks and food for the gamers if they're hungry or thirsty.
I can also create a small comics section in the cafe, so that studious type can relax in their corner.
Yanru also suggested having a pets' cafe where pet owners can bring in their favorite pets to my cafe.
Of course, there will be a section barricaded off so that I can separate pets' corners and normal corners so that customers who do not have pets and chill out too.
Haiz. So many options and so little capital.
But the more I dream about it, the more realistic it became...
When do you think I can have a shop of my own???
I need shareholders, or else I will not be able to save up for my shop on my own...
A rule of thumb is to have savings which can lasts for at least 6 months of no business.
Workers, rental, utilities...
It's a whole load of money.
I sincerely wish that my wish could come true in the very-near future.
I love my world:D
