Roy Phay Weekend Rambling…
8 June 2008 1:21 am Weekend RamblingThis weekend, there’s 2 things that I’m going to share about… the first one being the results of my choice for my SUNNET company website… I have a few friends email me personally asking me which one did I chose.
The second matter I’m going to talk about is the shrimp shop visit that I went with my wife on friday. I’m going to share some insights and some photos…
Drum roll please…
So, many people posted their comment last week on the 2 design, and it’s a fierce choice. Almost 50% of them like the first one, and the other 50% seems to like the 2nd one.
There’s a couple of comments like both the design. Ha ha… it seems to be a difficult choice.
Nevertheless, I still have to choose one, and the winner is:
We decided to choose this design to start with. When we started to market it, we’ll need to test the conversion of the subscribers, and also test the headlines, videos, benefits and etc.
Of course, as my loyal subscriber, you’ll be the first to hear from me once my website is ready for launch and able to shop online for our services.
So, that’s wrap up the poll for that design. Really appreciate all your participations!
Now for more happy note, and the interest that I love… shrimp rearing…
It’s something new in Singapore, and it seems to only started early this year. However, some people might have started many years back.
Aquarium fish, both freshwater and marine, are always popular all time. Shrimp seems to pretty new to me! So, I decided to drop by the shop about 30 minutes away from my house.
We took half day off from our work, and drop by the shop… also as a way of relaxation for both myself and my partner.
Here’s the shop when we reach:
We had quite a hard time finding their location, and also finding their website. Haha…
It took me about 10 minutes to find the website in Google, and another 10 minutes “trying” to find where the shop is.
In the end, I gave up and call the shop to ask for specific direction.
This entire process really gives me a good insight how will my customers find their way to my website, engaging our services and what kind of feeling I want to give to them.
Great shopping experience!
When I step into the shop, it’s really a tiny space. However, the feeling is very warm, and cosy.
The place is not brightly lit, but with the lights from the tanks makes it feel warm, comfortable and happy.
The marketing campaign by the shop owner, Colin, was pretty good. Total, they have 2 newspaper press release, and that’s how I know about the new hobby. Colin is only 23. Supported by both parents, mom and dad, he started this shop.
When I was there, both his parents is there.
Let’s look at some shrimp!
All these are not ordinary shrimp that we can find in market. There are many kinds of grade in all these shrimps!
The white and red ones are called Crystal Red Shrimp! And CRS have many grades. From C grade all the way to SSS+ grade.
When in the shop, the B grade are about S$4.50 per shrimp. The SSS grade, I think, is about S$45 per shrimp. A difference in 10X the price!
After chatting with Colin for about 15 minutes, I realize it’s really easy to start one. The cost is relatively low, and survival rate is pretty high.
So, we decided to get one in a few weeks time! We intend to start small, get a small tank, with lights, small filters, gravel, and some plants…
quick start the setup for a few days first, let the plants grow, water to settle down…
then, we will go and get 2, S$4.50, Crystal Red Shrimp.
They are really cute pets! You can look at them for about 10 minutes, while we are in the shop, and they look so interesting.
Most enjoyable part is that you can build the landscape on your own, design, choose the kinds of plants, and the kind of shrimp, and you have a hobby.
Let’s see if they’ll survive under our care!
Haha…
Have a enjoyable, family-warming weekend!

Hi Tong,
Haha… I doubt you want to eat the shrimp, they are too small and too expensive to eat.
Hehe…
