Things done today:
- Yoga class in the morning. The SITC workout at One Wellness Fitness Club, Bugis is seriously intense. I was sweating like a man on trial! At least now I know that being bald doesn't help reduce my sweating. Lesson learnt!
- Met Devin after yoga class.Will be getting a coffee with him next week (Wednesday, 24 August) to talk about potential ways in which I can work with him in his start-up. That could be very interesting, but let's see. I do look forward to the conversation.
- Breakfast at Yah Kun, Bugis Junction (peanut butter kaya toast is the best!) and read the newspaper. The debate/fanfare on Joseph Schooling continues. Meanwhile I wonder about the not-successful Singaporean athletes and how they are mostly being ignored. It is true after all... everyone loves a winner.
- Solid one hour of French practice followed by a good drum practice session at home. May not seem like much, but that's a major victory for me!
- 3-7PM at The Pit. Talked to Raphael about his experience at the bar. He has the over-confidence of a kid (which he is) but some good ideas on how to run the business as well. In particular he mentioned how the lack of a good food menu doesn't help the bar differentiate itself. I agree that this would make a difference, particularly in bringing in new customers, especially those who aren't really big drinkers.
Case and point- look at Smokeys (which I feel does have a similar ambiance), where the beer is part of the experience, but not all of it.
- Cooking session with Lisa. Cooked my first batch of mung beans under the influence of one pint of Archipelago's Summer IPA. Something tastes funny...
Lessons learnt: Be open to people and try to listen to what they have to say. They may have thought of things that I never came up with, which could be really helpful in this process.
