Ok... No more pissed le.... Just very scared... I think my mom is going to kill me.... as in kill me big time.
I made the biggie that I should have made long ago. I don't know why I dragged it longer..... Maybe I wanted to test myself? Well, this isn't really me, but hey, at least I gave it a shot.
Now I no longer mad le.... :angel: but scared mama scold... how? How to tell her I quitted?
This post is dedicated to my Gelare colleagues: They roxxor. Take care.
Now I can go visiting during CNY in peace. What lies ahead of me who has passed the quarter century mark? Well, I really don't know.
Ok, I think my left leg and right hand telling me: Thanks for the rest. They have been so injured/hurt for the past month. My right hand practically cannot close and that hurt nerve/ligament in my foot? Well, it had never really recovered. :sad:
Ok, about the F&B industry- nice industry to work in especially if you have a passion for food and drink like Jess and I do, however in sucky place like Singapore, it's hard to be professional and give good service. I can tell you that the bad service complaints received by the service/f&b industry are not uncalled for. The pay is so sucks, of course what type of service you expect? Sucks service too right? Basically I can tell you what's wrong in Singapore:
- Land/Rental costs too high. I don't think I need to explain further? All brick and mortar businesses in Singapore require a space to operate isn't it? Even if your company is internet/web based, you still need space for storage of your goods. IMO, it's the main cost everyone has to incur, and it starts from the bottom of the business chain, from the guy who sends you flour and other stocks and all, he incur high costs of land. What happens? Well, he has no choice but to pass the cost to you in terms of higher stock prices etc.... because if he doesn't, it will eat into his profitability. And the chain goes on.... each time the product passes through the value-added chain, the more the product costs. I mean, it's unavoidable costs. Rental just kills. Most of the money made just goes back to paying rental. Quite sadded.
Enough ranting... :) Thanks for reading.
