I woke up not feeling well. I feel like getting sick so I opted to sleep longer and rest well for my meeting later. As I woke up, I still feel funny. I dont have the appetite to eat. I have butterflies in my stomach. I am nervous thinking about my meeting later with IDS.

I was an hour early for a meeting. Mr. Bruce Hemmingsen travelled from the province just to meet with me. It was privilege to meet and have a chat with him. He was just a concerned on the small scale strategy we wanted Beach Hut for distribution. I mentioned him that its a start but we aim to be widely distributed in ASIA. He asked me tell my boss to get in touch with him.

From hereon, I am looking forward for a partnership with them! I got so excited that I immediately reported this to Manila.

Another UP!- that night I met Flip and he introduced me to Hok and Jessie. Both owns a website which sells a lot of stuff. A possible partner in e-commerce. They are willing to look for me that particular distributor they see which carries a lot of products. I was glad to meet as they shared a lot of things about Thai culture which I really need to learn.

Sawat Dee Khrap/Ka is never used much anymore. They have a slang for it or cut it short when they pronounce it. Its old school using that phrase or either "you learned that in Thai Bars." I wish I can spend time with them again.

Thats me, Flip, Jessie and Hok in the picture above. We met at ASTRO Bar and Restaurant. A cozy place to have a chat and booze. Showcased in the bar are old toys that the owners normally collect.
