The Passion Pops

Now that I have completed my bartending course, I dream of one day owning a bar/club. Cool bars and clubs like these ones...

ROXY, Brazil




BED SUPPER CLUB, Bangkok



T-O 12, Stuggart




Check out more cool stuff here! Anyway I'll be continuing the course with waiting, food handling, gaming and coffee making. Now they won't have any excuses for not hiring me!

eh.. i didn;t know you want to open bar too!
ok ok.. you don't invest money.. we go in partners. =)
i'm sure sujen also interested! but we gotta think of what will make our bar different...
maybe we should ban feng tau music...

Edwin said...

WHAT.. i also wanna open club/bar/lounge too.. i wanna join partnership!!!

didnt know you took bartendin course? what they teach you?learnt how to make any cool cocktails? or.. do any flaring?

i second the motion of bannin feng tau music!!!

Damien Wong said...

learn basic cocktails..did my RSA..and prepare a bar for service! what's feng tau music anyway?

jac jac said...

i want a stake in the bar too! i would love to join in.. so exciting! i think i wanna do the course too!

Jeannie said...

haha..
yes lah... all the alcoholics.
okay.. eddie has pretty good music taste. quite hip one. i think i'd let him be in charge of booking music.
but i think maybe 1 section for me to open my jazz bar.
jac can hire then bouncers. i think she has enough fire to keep them in line. plus she can keep us legal.
feng = fling/move from side to side
tau = head
fengtau = music u move ur head side to side to.. aka ah beng aka trancey druggy music.

eh.. i would like to think that.. not only do i have good music taste(which i do), i also understand consumer taste in alchohol and have a wide understanding of knowledge of different types of spirits, wine, champagne, beer etc.. alchohol in general to make it work!!

Also.. i would like to say that.. with diff spirits to work with.. i can make good cocktails!!!

Damien Wong said...

LOL...ok 10 years from now! we need to get the capital first..start working your ass off ppl! heheheh

Jeannie said...

10 years feels far away?
haha.. but ok ok...
we meet up in 10 years if the dream hasn't happened. =P
make sure you keep 'researching' drinks all the way. =)
now must play stock market.

Damien Wong said...

10 years is realistic. don burn all ur money in the stock market! 2008 is a bad year!

Jaclyn said...

haha. why not 5 years? when we are still young and have the passion for it? =)

oops, it would mean 3 years after i graduate.. hope i am eearning big bucks by then. =)

toetai said...

haha.. yea man... 5 years to short already.. chances are.. ill be doin masters.. that would mean i only have 2 years to earn money... dont think im gonna get rich that fast!

Ooh!! shotgun havin it in malaysia and not singapore since majority of our 4 person partnership is in malaysia (shanghai does not count)

will be headed to spain! so i will definitely keep an eye on the drink research whilst im there!

jac jac said...

we can start in m'sia.. see the response.. but opening a bar in m'sia need to pull a lot of contacts right? i think its hard to get the liqour license..

Damien Wong said...

NO NO..open the bar in melbourne! if in malaysia open mamak...aus open bar! that's the culture..omg haven't open bar alrady got differences..LOL i guess that's y ppl don wanna do partnership in business..oh well we'll open one in every country..hahha..think BIG! like really BIG!

Jaclyn said...

damien, lets open our first one first.. then hopefully one in every major city every year! how are we going to manage?? franchise??

Damien Wong said...

LOL..i don think franchising is a good idea! we should let whoever that's in that country run it..
