If I have a manufacturing plant, I will wait for firm orders before I start producing. This will be what I do even if everyone is telling me that there is a huge demand for what I produce or that what I produce is cheap enough for everyone. Seriously, if I were to produce first…

A supper thought. A new cafe. Kids and their choices. Oh dear…
After spending an hour in Decathlon Sri Damansara (nice place to buy sports stuffs), it was time to leave. We had an early dinner and I was a little hungry. My wife and kids were also a little hungry. It was 9pm. Should we go to for nasi kandar restaurant perhaps? Our favourite mamak place…
