Funny thing is, my sister is also selling it for they have also decided to move to Singapore this November 15. Hmmm, sayang, I should have sold it to someone [...]

I don’t know what came to my mind. It’s just that in an instant, I’m starting a business. An internet café, that is. A businessman once told me, to start a business, you must take the first step otherwise it will only be a long lost dream. It will take guts to do so though specially that the economy is not doing well but then again, I took the first step! Well, hopefully it will be operational by August 8, 2005.
