    As if the starting point of one’s life is the best predictor of future achievement:
    1. Zhuge Liang (traditional Chinese: 諸葛亮) was a farmer before he became a prime minister.
    And you think being linked to the poly is something bad? Zhuge Liang (traditional Chinese: 諸葛亮 probably didn’t even produce enough to feed his family at that time as a farmer.
    2. 张良 was not a successful advisor before he joined 劉邦.  Now, he is known forever as a great man: 刘邦谈及张良时说:「夫运筹策帷帐之中,决胜千里之外,吾不如子房。」
    I don’t expect you to read Chinese. For all I know, you are one of those people who failed PAP chinese policy.
    I hope Sylvia read this.
    I meant it as an encouragement.

    hi Economic Fact,

    i am not in F&B business myself, i can only give my opinions on what a customer can observe when having a cuppa at the outlet. & from a customer standpoint, Ya-kun does have an efficient workflow, my orders never got mixed up & they are fast (except for the half boiled eggs that require time to get it just right).

    businesses like lowest running costs, but they should not take the easy way out which is cutting staffing costs. in a people oriented industry, hiring (& keeping) the right people makes a difference. is there no other way to cut costs?

    btw, i prefer Ya-Kun to Toast Box too, but i wish there are more Killiney Kopitaims around. jia you (Killiney), jia you!!   ^.^

    LOL My Views actually thinks the PAP propaganda he swallows and regurgitates is “the truth”. How cute.

    By now, it’s clear what creature defines the noise from My Views as usual.
    My Views has the biggest black hole below his nose. This animal makes this sound “Meow”.
    Here pussy pussy. Time for a bath. You’re starting to stink. Think the locals call that a CB mouth.
    Shut down this hole, if the stench hurts you so much!

    if the truth hurts you this much, don’t read this website.
    We don’t want to read from the local news that someone fainted or was sent to the hospital because he/she was reading from the TOC.
    This site doesn’t need that kind of publicity.
    This site seeks to promote life not destroy one.
