A brand new chapter

So the restaurant venture I had high hopes for didn't work out.  In the end Jeffrey, almost-chef/partner, had an offer he simply couldn't refuse.  The opportunity was too good to miss and while disappointed, I wished him well on his new journey in Singapore.

I'm a firm believer of things happening for a reason.  
A week after still being gutted, I met Amy's best friend's brother, Kelvyn.  Though we knew each other in a short period of time, we clicked.  We were discussing various ideas and what could be done.  A common thing we both loved were heritage buildings but were not sure what was the most ideal business. 

A few were mentioned but didn't spark, then suddenly Kelvyn asked me what do I think about a small boutique hotel or a bed & breakfast?  I responded immediately saying that's an idea I had in mind!  Actually for the past couple of years...
This was August of '10.  Fast forward today, a quaint two bedroom B&B located on Bangkok Lane is born.  Our doors have opened since November of the same year and we've had guests trickled in from all over the globe.  Its been quite surreal.  Unimaginable that sometimes when a door closes, in patience, perseverance and luck, another will open

My belief of things happening for a reason, stands strongly as ever if not stronger.  Its a whole new venture, wish us luck!
