Upgrade 6: Its the Little Things that Matters Or Benefits of being a Business Owner
originally i had another post in mind, but I was so excited about this new post that I just had to put the other one on hold :)
Last Saturday was the wedding of my sister's sister-in-law in Kamunting, a little above Taiping. Before heading there, we had a 2 night stay at Ipoh to look at the local potential market for a possible future branch as well as to have a splash at the Lost World of Tambun amusement park.Since the park is considered a "cawangan" of Sunway Lagoon, we were expecting the normal hustle & bustle.
When we entered, to our amaze the park was quite 'lengang', save for the park staff and a few groups of friends. Then i remembered, it was a Friday morning! I really thought that it was Saturday. I was instantly reminded that this was one of the small benefits of not being attached to a routine 9-5 job. Not having to stand in long queues to get on a ride, not having to sacrifice 'dangerously' personal space while swimming in the water, clean & dry toilets and changing rooms and most important less hairy pot bellies :P. Furthermore, since it was not a peak season we were able to stay at one of the most expensive hotel in Ipoh (The Impiana Casuarina) at 60% less the normal price. They even upgraded our room to a Superior Deluxe, definitely the biggest room that I have stayed so far in a hotel.
