i've always thought the cafe "Gone Fishing" is a really cool place.
it's a place opened by dreamers, for dreamers.

the owners wanted it to be a chill out place,
and anyone with dreams and ideas were invited to try them out there.

so it became a philosophy cafe every tues,
where there was a reg philo group discussion.

budding musicians and stand up comics could try their performances there,
and budding cafe owners can try their hands at running it.

what a grand idea.
-------------------------------

i've only been there once, when someone told me abt it.
it was there, that a group of jugglers, brimming with enthusiasm,
wanted to start our juggling company.

we named it "PiakWorks", and did a mind map.
i dun remember what was on the mind map, just that there was a huge dollar sign in the middle.

so huge the cafe owner quipped "that's a really huge dollar sign" when she served us our drinks.

and then we wrapped up the board meeting with prata,
where MJ ordered "splatter prata" when he meant "plaster prata".

------------------------------------

i've always wanted to go back there again,
but it was way too ulu.

then a few weeks ago i realised it was no longer ulu since my work place is also ulu,
and i decided i'll spend some evenings after work there.

imagine my disappointment when i found the website and it says the cafe has ceased operations effective from 1 jan 2009.

i guess shit happens.

--------------------------------

the owner is now a life coach,
and i found something that caught my eye.

He says, on his website,
that we find our life purpose when we do 3 things:

1) gifts
2) passion
3) service

Use your gifts in your area of passion to serve others. and the purpose will reveal itself.

it is our own inner GPS system, navigating us around.
