Happy Chinese New Year...

Hi All,

Happy Chinese New Year and Valentines.

Saw some coverage of the Winter Olympics. Hope to get someone there in 8 years time with the ski field.

Currently, we are still trying to find investors with the vision to see what a success this venture can be. When they say "good things take time" they weren't kidding.

All the best for you for the year of the tiger.

Presentation Early Results

The early indication from the potential partners are that they might be interested in the project. The terms were a bit of an eye opener and I am looking through the possibilities.

Sorry about being vague at this point but, it is difficult to say too much as it is still very early stages with this partner and there are several possibilities for the partnership. They are also looking at financials on their end.

However, what I can tell you is that if the partner and I can work things out then the ski field could be very exciting. This partner is interested in making the ski field a world class venue.

It is almost a certainty that you will get a ski length of 200m IF not more!!!

meeting...... (and nerves)

Wednesday is a big meeting/presentation. I can hardly sleep and my mind is going at a million miles an hour. I still have so much to do. There is enough time but my mind is too unsettled for it to work properly.

One tip to self and others reading this... must embrace the nervousness. All great sportsmen get it and they use it to channel their talents. Do the same with yours and you will be amazed at the results.

Happy Deepavali!

Hi All,

Hope those who are celebrating Deepavali had a great weekend with friends and family.

Fantastic to see so many cultures and races in one country.

Happy celebrations...............

Location location...

The business plan is now complete...
Right now waiting for investors and sponsors to review the report...

In the mean time there is the search for a potential location. Preliminary investigations indicate that there is viable land in Cheras. Ideally, looking for land in Puchong as it seems to be the up and coming area. Most other areas are either too expensive, too far, or don't have the land space...

Anyone have 10 to 20 acres spare? :-)

What are your thoughts on an ideal location for the ski field (within KL/Selangor!)?

Happy holidays

Selamat Hari Raya!!! (belated)

Hope that everyone is enjoying the festivities and the food.

Went to Genting and Melaka for the long weekend and got my first glimpse of snow in Genting. It was good to see so many people enjoying their time in there and see positive signs for the ski field.

The second draft of the business plan is complete and under review at the moment. It should be ready for potential partners and/or investors VERY soon... It is hoped that this will be within the next two weeks. There will be a lot of communications soon with various parties.

Will update you guys as I go along.

If anyone needs help in preparing a business plan please do not hesitate to ask :-)

All the best,
Eric

Business Plan

Hi All,

The first draft of the business plan was just completed. Quite happy about it after days of work. Taking a break from it so that I see it with fresh eyes after a few days.

One of my friends said "Don't spend your life savings on this... Then again, how can this idea not work?!? Snow in a tropical country with a population that large?!?" My sentiments exactly.

However, I still need to convince my investors and that is where the business plan comes in. Right now, it is a "to the point" document. Nothing hidden and no BS behind it. That is what I want to run with, cause there is nothing to hide with this project.

Only worry, this idea is done first by someone else. So far I haven't heard of anyone else who is willing to do it to this scale in the SE Asian region.

Fingers crossed that the design will start in Jan 2010!
