flow of consciousness

    It's been awhile since I did the flow of consciousness writing, where I just write whatever that pops into my mind.

Again, I seem to have underestimated my expenses for the month, and however this time it's more disappointing because this was the peak month of the year, and what I will have left at the end is much more underwhelming than what I had originally planned.

I had this idea in my mind about how I would target the luxury high end apartments, and price accordingly. However in reality, I had to adjust my prices significantly, and the ADR turned out to be much lower than I originally thought.

Or at least I think so... Whenever I plan something out and the reality turns out to be different, I kind of start doubting reality, and that's not good.

It's almost like I can't trust myself, and even more, what is real and what isn't.

So that can be quite horrible.

But then I think to myself, no this is just numbers, simple math, and this is how reality is.

It's been a pretty frigging long 6 months.

In the end, I did have some proud achievements tho, such as creating my company here and getting a business visa from it.

It's a route that was clouded in fog of mystery, and I have come out successfully on the other end.

Now I just need to get through another one, this time the one of low season.

If the business proves to be like how it was in South Korea, then I will get through it no problem.

If I can endure it, then I can have an easier time asking for investment.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be like how Syed does business, where he has to take some minus during low season... But I think that's because he also gets low-end units.

My case should be different as I only go for high demand good location areas.

However it would not hurt to lower my prices and start preparing for it.
