Thank you!

8 March 2008, whole day sitting at Starbucks Coffee to work out a plan for Uncle Fu Oven. Until today, UFO flyer is out; and started selling at Foh Sang, Kedai Kopi Kheng Hin and Damai, Restaurant Full Yuen. If you ask what is my feeling right now, I should say I am pleased. Not because of how good the response, just because since the day I start until now, I am pleased with all the supports and help from friends; Kerwin, Tsen, Melvin, Yuan, Brenda, Yong, Sean, Agnes, and a lot friend I not mention here. Truly from my heart: “Thank you so much for all the encouraging words, constant support and advice. Thank you for making a beautiful difference in my life.”

Below are some of the sms supports that I had received from friends:

"The act of taking the first is what separates the winner from others. So, the time for action is NOW. It is never too late to do something”

“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen, to succeed, we must first believe that we can. Sure you can!

Life can be tough on us. If we have the right attitude and spirit, it just makes us a better stronger man. Taking one step at a time "I dare to fail.”

决心是实现梦想的最基本底线。你要拥有成功的人生就必须要有成功的决心，配合大量的积极行动，不断的学习，奋斗及成长，再坚持到底，成功就在你眼前。

挫拆就像维他命，不一定好吃，却很有用，也会让我们快快长大。所以跨出去的脚步，大小不重要，重要的是方向。

Life - always remembers that life is riding a bicycle; to keep your balance you must keep moving only u will outstanding and growth.


In this one and a half month period, I bought a new oven and two new mixers to faster the baking process. Since everything is new, it’s really took me quite some time to adapt and handle the equipments well to get what is called ‘standard’. I can’t remember how many pieces of UFO I had dumped. By trial and error finally I found a combination that turned on 14th April 2008. My kitchen really full with notes stacked on the wall and with calculator with me all the time during baking…

Poster

If you are a good observer, you should be able to notice this poster around the corner of some coffee shops or cake houses. I wonder how you think about the design?

I know the poster designer in personal.

Frankly speaking, when I first saw the poster design, I indeed felt it was too common for a good designer like him. Basically, UFO is a legendary dessert in Sandakan, and has been well-know for over 50years in the neighborhood, so the design should exhibit reminiscence yet classical look rather than using vivid color like red and yellow. What was that? Tell you the truth, the first thing came to my mind was Sarawak State flag,



No kidding. Don’t you think there is some similarity?

I was a bit disappointed with the design, …….until it has been printed out.

I have to admit that Melvin, the designer has some artistic sense that people like me cannot understand at first glance.

Red, yellow, Black and red used to be the most traditional colors, has already imply the hidden meaning of ancientry and all time favorite food. The striking color can really catch the attention of people when stick on wall either at newly design cake houses or archaic coffee shop. The radian lines neutralize the out-dated feeling for the whole presentation. What a fabulous idea he got there!

For those who are interested in this macho, handsome and artistic minded guy, feel free to visit his website or blog at http://www.melvinho.com/blog/

Don’t play play. Cheers!

海报

近来在亚庇区的许多茶点总会看见这张海报。你有没有发现？

老实说，开始看见设计图时，觉得有点怪，因为印象中的牛屎挞是比较偏向传统和古老的小吃，所以以为海报的色调也会较为黯淡，可是设计者却用了鲜艳的红黄作为主色，我的确大吃一惊。直到海报印了出来，贴在各个面包店或茶室角落时，我才发现设计者的用心，这张在平面上看似平平无奇的海报，立刻显现出它的独特之处，有了不一样的诠释。

红、黄、黑、白，已经是最传统的颜色。放在设计新颖的店铺，客人很容易就发现海报的存在，而且感受到它的古典味道。虽说如此，一些浑圆的线条却隐隐带出时代感，不会让人有老土的感觉，所以放在古旧的陈年茶室一样可以发挥它颜色鲜艳的功效，一眼就看到它的吸引力。

总而言之，设计者的确很有心思，能够看到我们平凡人无法看透的事实，让我对设计者有了更深一层的信心。:)
