Hi Mr. Ma

8:30pm
i.Tea    (爱茶) 
Blk 372 Bukit Batok  St 31 #01-336
Operation MMM (Meeting Mr Ma)

After having a long break in school, approximately 2.5 hours, Jin Wei, Wilson and I managed to replenish ourselves and head towards Mr. Ma's i.Tea branch in Bukit Batok at around 7pm.

We managed to reach the meeting location at around 7:30pm. Since we are have around 1 hour to spare, I decided to try one of their new inventions. Being a typical Green Tea Fan, the "Green Tea Macchiato"(a green tea topped with fresh milk) caught my attention immediately as it was displayed on the 42-Inch Philips HD TV in the shop.

After looking around for the next one hour, trying to find any potential competitors/threats, we decided to head back to the shop. We met Mr Ma and introduced ourselves formally before beginning our conversation

From our short conversation, I can understand that Mr Ma has had many previous collaborations with other students from polytechnics to university. He told us that he is very open to young students like us, since he believes that "Young man is full of innovation and creativities.....given chance and good platform".  He also stated that he will be giving us admin rights to i.Tea's FaceBook page and is willing to help us in this project whenever necessary, since he understands that we are freshmen and may be inexperienced.

P.S. We actually wanted to take a group photo with Mr Ma, however he insisted that he wanted to keep a low profile and offered to take a picture of us instead.


Cheers :)

Daniel
