The famous Busan Jagalchi Fish Market

Wear all black, never go out of fashion... True story...

atb go DTF is to be seen and to take photos post wechat. they dont eat much, so food quality is not the most important. that's also why ATB like to go HDL... expensive place for them to be seen as satki taitai. warm lightings in restoran, easy to take pics to post wechat. tip top chinese service make them feel like princesses. (if go AMDK cafe, their poor english might exposed them) small food serving, so they dont need to eat too much.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 29 — Coffee is a tough business. The margins are razor-thin; the competition fierce, with new cafés popping up all the time despite almost an equal number appearing to shut down just as fast. Gone are the dreamy early days of specialty coffee in Malaysia when regular appearances at barista competitions, Instagram-friendly café décor and intricate latte art would get you a stream of customers. Been there, done that. Now is time to actually run a business. Just ask Michael Tan. The 30-year-old started his career at Starbucks before joining RAWCoffee (since shuttered), one of the first cafés serving specialty coffee in KL, in 2012. He then moved to Singapore to join Forty Hands Coffee and Common Man Coffee Roasters, before returning to KL in 2016 to set up his own café, Alpha Brew Coffee. It was a dream come true, one shared by many an aspiring barista. Tan closed Alpha Brew Coffee last April, after a couple years of decent but not highly profitable business. What went wrong? He shares, “It was a humbling experience. I thought I knew how to run a café but it takes more than simply making coffee. It’s one thing to run a café as a manager vs. running it as a business owner. The numbers — rental, electricity and other expenses — brought me down to earth real fast.” Tan learned his ambition of serving high quality specialty coffee was unviable due to the market demand. He explains, “It’s quality vs. pricing. To serve the sort of coffee I want but at the price the customers want is not realistic — I’d be losing money.” What was required was identifying the sweet spot of what the customers would be happy paying and serving coffee that is still good. Tan says, “This is where my skills as a barista and my understanding of the industry helped: I realised I could still serve a good cuppa by using beans that are better than commodity coffee but not as expensive as specialty coffee.” Using his hard-earned knowledge, Tan calibrated his brewing process so that he obtained only the sweetness from the beans. As far as the casual customer is concerned, it tasted like good coffee but without a hefty price tag. Though it seems that Tan had cracked the code, he was also burnt out by the daily running of the café and made the decision to close shop. Serendipitously, he sold his equipment — espresso machine and coffee grinders — to Thomas Ooi, the founder of Owls Café who was expanding his business. Besides seven outlets around the country, Ooi was also growing his coffee roasting business, Ghostbird Coffee Company. Previously, Ghostbird only supplied beans to Ooi’s own cafés. To expand Ghostbird’s reach, someone with the right industry knowledge, experience as a café owner and network of contacts would be needed. Enter Michael Tan. What seemed at first to be a setback proved to be a blessing in disguise. Everything he had experienced led him to his current role today as Ghostbird’s Wholesale Director handling wholesale distribution, marketing and training. A perfect fit, given his background and skill set: Tan is all about connecting the dots where coffee is concerned. The most immediate task upon joining was to revamp staff development at the various Owls Café outlets. In his first three months, Tan trained 18 baristas, who previously were unable to calibrate coffee properly after six months on the job. “Now they only need two weeks to learn how to calibrate,” says Tan. “Based on what I learned when at Starbucks, I also set up a deployment map: debriefed staff on positions available, how to fit and complement other positions — especially when the café is busy.” This was to create consistency across the group of outlets. He recalls, “During our busiest time when I was running Alpha Brew, we had six people working so it was not possible to operate without an S.O.P. (Standing Operating Procedures) — everyone needs to know where they stand on shifts, bar flow and customer service; who is front of house and back of house.” Using a buddy system, Tan would pair new hires with the most senior barista. This also created a hierarchy of baristas. He says, “This modifies behaviour so the staff become accountable: they now understand who their supervisor is. If a customer complains about coffee, they know who to approach to diagnose the problem.” One nifty practice he picked up during his days at Common Man is to get the baristas engaged in a filter coffee exercise: “We brew once every hour and give samples to customers. It’s an opportunity for the barista to practise as well as build confidence as they walk around and initiate conversations with customers.” Tan’s own stint as a café owner came into play when he shifted his attention to Ghostbird’s wholesale business after the barista training system was well established. He says, “It’s all about relationships. I wanted a wholesale programme that’s more than ‘Hi, I’m here to sell you beans’ then ‘See you again in two months!’ and instead show we understand what our customers needed.” This meant shifting the focus to merely selling beans in the typical B2B (business to business) manner and treating every customer as someone in need of a solution they are uniquely positioned to provide. Tan says, “We have to show that we mean it when we say ‘I am here to help you’ — such as training the café owner’s baristas through our Academy on how to get the best from our blend. It’s asking ‘What areas you are lacking in?’ If you need suppliers, contacts, machines, we try to help. We have been through this so we understand the challenges you face.” The numbers speak for themselves. Prior to Tan joining, Ghostbird had four wholesale customers. Within one and a half years, that has grown to 68 wholesale accounts. Something is definitely working. Life is full of ups and downs. Some say it’s cyclical, even. It’s what we make of these peaks and valleys that define us. It’s clear that Michael Tan has found a new role for himself — beyond barista and café owner, he’s now a true coffee connector. https://sg.yahoo.com/news/coffee-tough-business-one-owner-000805845.html

Have you noticed that Orion the Hunter – one of the most iconic and familiar of the wintertime constellations – is looking a little… different as of late? The culprit is its upper shoulder star Alpha Orionis, aka Betelgeuse, which is looking markedly faint, the faintest it has been for the 21st century. When will this nearby supernova candidate pop, and what would it look like if it did? The story starts, as all good astronomy and space stories seem to, on Friday night going into a holiday weekend. We started seeing discussion on Betelgeuse trending on social media on the evening of Friday, December 20th, and dug down to the source of the excitement: a December 8th paper on "The Fainting of the Nearby Red Supergiant Betelgeuse" by researchers at Villanova University. Light curve estimates courtesy of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) verified the assertion that the star had indeed faded about one magnitude, or a little over one half from its usual magnitude +0.5 to +1.5. Noticing the sky was clear, we headed up to our parking garage rooftop observing site in downtown Norfolk, Virginia to take a look. Betelgeuse was indeed noticeably fainter, about a shade dimmer than nearby +1st magnitude Aldebaran. Now, a change in one magnitude isn't unusual for a variable star such as Betelgeuse… but such a large dip always gives the astronomical community pause. A red giant star 12 times as massive as our Sun and about 700 light years distant, the variability of red-orange Betelgeuse was first noted by astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1836. Physically, the star is currently bloated out to a radius of perhaps eight Astronomical Units (AU). If you plopped it down in the center of our Solar System, Betelgeuse might extend all the way out to past the orbit of Jupiter. This fact also allowed astronomers to use the first crude optical interferometric measurements from the 2.5 meter telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory to measure Betelgeuse's physical diameter of 50 milliarcseconds. In the late 1980s, astronomers used in emerging technique of aperture masking interferometry to obtain the first direct 'image' of Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse is always worth keeping an eye on, as it's one of the closest candidates in our galaxy for a nearby supernova. We see supernovae frequently in distant galaxies, but such an event has not been witnessed in our galaxy in the telescopic era: Kepler's Star in 1604 in the constellation Ophiuchus was the last supernova observed in the Milky Way, though a supernova in the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud put on a good show in 1987. A red giant like Betelgeuse lives fast and dies young, exhausting its supply of hydrogen fuel in just under 10 million years. The star is destined to undergo a core implosion and massive collapse and rebound as a Type II supernova. Such an explosion could occur 100,000 years from now… or tonight. Is the fading act a prelude to a truly spectacular show, or a false alarm? Astronomers are unsure, but a supernova event just 700-odd light-years away would be an unrepresented opportunity to study one up close. Not only would every optical telescope get trained on the exploding star, but assets such as the Laser Interferometry Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) could detect gravitational waves from a nearby supernova, and neutrino observatories such as Ice Cube buried in the Antarctic ice could detect the event as well. …and fortunately for us, we're safely out of the 50 light-year 'kill zone' for receiving any inbound lethal radiation from Betelgeuse: a supernova would simply be a scientifically interesting event, and put on a good show. Ancient supernovae may have had a hand in the evolution of life on Earth, and a recent study suggests that one might even have forced early humans to walk upright. Here's the rogues gallery list of stars that are current nearby supernovae candidates: Nearby supernova candidates out to 1,000 light-years. (Dave Dickinson) What would a supernova in Orion look like? Well, using the last supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud (also a Type IIb event) as a guide, we calculate that when it does blow, Betelgeuse would shine at magnitude -10. That's 16 times fainter than a full Moon, but 100 times brighter than Venus, making it easily visible in the daytime sky. A Betelgeuse-gone-supernova would also easily cast noticeable nighttime shadows. But see the ongoing fading event for yourself. Betelgeuse is easy to find in December, rising to the east at dusk. In fact, northern hemisphere winter is the very best time for the star to blow, as it's roughly opposite to the Sun, and would dominate the night sky. Summer would be the worst time, as it would tease us from beyond the far side with the Sun in the daytime sky. You can even guesstimate Betelgeuse's brightness yourself, using the nearby stars of the Winter Hexagon asterism as a guide: Betelgeuse vs. stars of the Winter Hexagon, with magnitudes. Note: this was taken prior to the current dimming. (Steve Brown) What's next? Well, expect Betelgeuse to brighten again in early 2020… though if it rebounds into negative magnitude territory past Rigel and Sirius, well, then things could get really exciting. For now though, we're in a wait-and-see-mode for any New Year's Eve fireworks from Betelgeuse. Such an occurrence would be bittersweet: we would be extraordinarily lucky to see Betelgeuse go supernova in our lifetime… but familiar Orion the Hunter would never look the same again. https://www.sciencealert.com/betelgeuse-looks-fainter-than-usual-and-we-re-all-hoping-this-star-is-about-to-pop

all kids easily bored and change targets... whahahaha!!!

Haha, daughter actually very naughty. Easily bored.

Diam diam rah kgk I am nao satki kia jiaking amdk hee in amdk land ok

Yah that phone call scene was good.

not surprise. from what i see: * turning or changing footpath without signalling their intention to do so * abrupt footpath change * speeding * weave in and out of footpath * Reckless riding like near miss * dash through the flashing green man

btw kgk xdd, what u think of this atb auntie????? still passe for ur connoisseur taste?????

Wah..TS, Those are great pics!! Surprise Busan not infested with Ah Tiongs?? Happy Hols!

yeah he got only one expression. Frown.

reminds me of a conversation i had with my neighborhood roti shop ah bang. he asked me which political party i support, i told him i only support sgx becos simi pap/sdp/wp dont give me money while sgx give me monthly pocket money for me to spend on atbs. he cannot help but agree with my political inclination.

most likely let them die out naturally. that was what happened in queenstown. many were old folks living in 1-room hdb rentals and when their mortal time is up, hdb just take back the flats. so by ard 2005, not many residents were left as there was alrdy a population hollowing out in the early 1990s.

maybe kgk xdd can borrow company daihatsu 1995 model to drive, i think ur atb gfs will be sibei impressed.

its true... i suspect tim crooks hacked the front camera of my iphone XI pro to watch me fap.... Sick old faggot! lucky i smart. i use masking tape to cover the lens when i watch prawns
