a mercs.. and a Volkswagen Phaeton, 6 litres v12 engine! Singapore only has up to 3.2 litres.. 450bhp 0-100 less than 5. Was nice to be in that vehicle all the way and made friends with the owner.
then headed down to a meeting with a company in the electronic industry. Won't be convenient to give further details of the products or company as everything is still under pending, it was an eye opener. First time of me attending a rather formal meeting with a presentation that most of its higher management came for it. First time attending meeting with a Taiwanese comapny. Quite 'Sua Ku' at first and many were wondering who am I this young man here. Of course, I was introduced as my dad's son.. This experience was a fruitful one, was quite impress with a few of them, especially those with higher position, the way they speak and present themselves, you can tell the difference and dominance they portray.
spotted this San Tai Zi statue along the way, really big, really nice...lesson learnt.
Its the same as back in holland, the higher level u are, the more power you have, thus, the more decision making power you have which comes in hand with more say and dominance. Its a two way thing, buyer and seller. Its always important to head towards a win win situation as the end state without compromising each others intentions. Always have a basic knowledge of your products and their products and the purpose of this meeting. To cut cost? to save something? or to seek improvement? or safety? the purpose behind it must be at the back of the head such that one would not backtrack or sidetrack and get the attention diversified. then weight the scale of pros and cons and differences between now and then, returns and potential. negotiate further be it production or price and aim to be a partner instead to make something special.
Headed down to a second company, despite being smaller in scale and the presentation wasn't as good, their products was impressive, very impressive. this one is associated with the energy industry, I became very keen, as well as many others, about their products. I strongly feel that it has immense potential but just lack of the capital to maximise it to its fullest.
lesson learnt.
have foresight, don't be bias or too light headed and take in every single word the person say. Always see from another perspective, then question in a nice way. to verify and ensure yourself that it is good. do not be convince too easily but instead be open minded and that its possible. don't rush and jump into it. always leave some space for consideration and further analysis. ask for sample to test out then decide again.
this moth or butterfly flew all the way up to the 85 storey..
went to taipei 101 for dinner at the 85 storey, this particular restaurant only takes reservation 3 months before hand! So... it was quite nice to be dining there at night with the city lights by our side. 
it was a pretty nice dinner.. but didn't took too much pics as usual..
Yeah wore my suit for the first time today, just got it from this very nice local tailor/designer by the name of Roy. most were wearing suit and to avoid being too special, I decided to put it on.. afterall the weather was alittle chilling.
check the name of this place next to the restaurant..
