CHAPTER 2

After appearing in “HAPPY GO LUCKY”, now HAPPY is happily married, travelling round the world, however he is still craving for BUBBLE MILK TEA that is widely available in SINGAPORE and believed to have been originated from TAIWAN. After careful consideration, HAPPY BROUGHT his own family back to SINGAPORE TO STAY because he feels it is a good environment for his 4 young children: DENISE, DESMOND, BENJAMIN and ROSWELL to attend school.

HAPPY wonders if anyone will be willing to sell the pre-mix, those 3-in-1 instant mix for coffee. So in a pack, you will find that it contains coffee powder, sugar and milk, add hot water and you have hot coffee instantly. HAPPY has seen the same type of instant mix for Hot Chocolate, MILO and TEA.

And there is instant noodles being sold in Styrofoam cups and packets. Some instant noodles can be eaten when we add hot water into the cup containing the dry noodles while instant noodles in packers need to be cooked and you can even add your favorite egg, vegetables and other food in or simply eat it by adding the seasoning, noodles without other toppings. Instant noodles also come in all kinds of flavors, some spicy, some sweet. And to those who are staying overseas for long period, this can be a great relief.

HAPPY WONDERS if there is anyone who would buy a pre-mix packet for BUBBLE MILK TEA. Just open a packet, pour into a cup and add hot water. Instantly, you will have a cup of BUBBLE MILK TEA, where ever you are in the world as the mix also contain dried bubbles (or pearls, you can “google” for BUBBLE MILK TEA and there are so many versions that will appear). HAPPY used to hear from friends and her mum that drinking and eating these “INSTANT” food and drink stuffs are very unhealthy, as they contain a lot of chemicals and preservatives to keep them “edible” for a long period of time, sometimes even years. Perhaps, the SCIENTISTS can come out with really healthy STUFFS.

Well HAPPY would still indulge in these pleasures if there is someone who would sell a pre-mix packet for BUBBLE MILK TEA. Haha.. WHY? Life is short, so be HAPPY like HAPPY. We never know what may happen in the next moment, if we do not enjoy NOW, then when should we really enjoy our lives?

And while BUBBLE TEA SHOPS open around SINGAPORE, HAPPY wonders if anyone would come up with a BUBBLE TEA VENDING MACHINE. That way, it is fully automated, and perfectly scalable everywhere in THE WORLD. In his imagination, HAPPY visualizes that the BUBBLE TEA VENDING MACHINE is one that allows buyers to pick their type of TEA (MILK TEA, ENGLISH TEA, CHINESE TEA, GREEN TEA and many more) while selecting their mix of toppings (different types of BUBBLES, JELLIES) and sugar level. Press a few buttons and the drink is dispensed, either HOT or COLD by choice, shortly after. Hot drinks will probably be preferred in countries experiencing their winter seasons while cold drinks sell best in SUNNY SINGAPORE which is around 30 degree Celsius all year round as the island is located along the equator in ASIA.

This actually mirrors what is in the BUBBLE TEA SHOP, a customer is allowed to customize his / her preferences and the BUBBLE TEA MAKER will make a drink in under 30 seconds, select the drink flavor, with or without MILK, size of cups (SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE), SUGAR LEVEL (FULL SUGAR, LESS SUGAR and some shops offer in terms of Percentages: 100%, 70%, 50%, 25%, 0%) and types of toppings (different types of BUBBLES, JELLIES). Many school children would know these by heart as they visit these bubble tea shops daily for their own pleasures and the drinks are not cheap, they may cost almost one hour of wages of people who work at these shops!

HAPPY has lots of ideas, but in his heart, he loves the idea of instant BUBBLE TEA mix. You can pop a few into the suitcase during travelling, once you reach a hotel, all you need is a cup, add in HOT water and you get a cup of delicious HOT BUBBLE MILK TEA.

The BUBBLE MILK TEA in a CUP is probably too bulky to carry along for travel trips, but perhaps good for people who work in large offices and crave such a drink during office hours. HAPPY is thinking of his friends working for the BANKS located in the Central Business District of SINGAPORE – RAFFLES PLACE and TANJONG PAGAR by MRT Trains (the local metro / subway stations).

As for the BUBBLE TEA VENDING MACHINE, it allows the same quality of drinks being served 24 hours a day anywhere in the world, and there is no need to hire any people to learn to make the drinks. Money can be collected in the form of notes, coins and even tap-and-go cards. There are even machines which accept MOBILE Phone scanning, and fingerprints verification. Well HAPPY won’t be surprised if there are machines that can recognize faces and a bill will be sent to your account after you press a button to dispense a drink.

Sometimes, these technology moves so fast that it is hard to know it ALL unless we read the news online. Of course, the drawback of having machine is that we lose the SMILES that HAPPY loves to see when he interacts with PEOPLE.

THE BUBBLE TEA VENDING MACHINE is an example of recurring income from an OPERATING ASSET. INVEST in the design of one machine, mass produce and sell them will be a way to scale up. Owners of these BUBBLE TEA VENDING MACHINES can also enjoy recurring income as long as people buy the drinks after deducting for costs such as maintenance, electrical, rental of that place to place the machine.

With such a machine, money can be generated for the OWNERS of the machine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, rain or shine! And the OWNERS are freed to explore anything they enjoy doing. IS THAT WHY WE SEE RICH PEOPLE IN MOVIES END UP AT THE GOLF COURSES PLAYING GOLF AND DISCUSSING NEW BUSINESS DEALS?
