Black Lovet

A quick and succinct update on my professional life….

As you can tell from a few of the post regarding my Dad and his Company, I have a pretty special Dad.

I can never fill his shoes and blow people socks off like he does, but I’m trying to build a sleek professional style that is all my own.

Anyhow, I have been following the boss aka my dad around, experiencing first hand how the design and renovation world works….

SO, My LUCK surprisingly has been exceptionally good and exceptionally bad- WHY???

• Very soon after I decided to learn the family trade, I had an offer to quote for a prospective job. It would have pulled through, if only the price was lower but I was glad this particular offer didn’t materialize. Firstly, we don’t lower the price because we do not ever compromise quality. The company’s craftsmanship and interior work is really solid and even after many many years, the wood work will be in great shape and would have aged beautifully. You truly pay for what you get and at our company, the longevity and beauty justifies the price.

The second reason about why I am slightly relieved about the lost deal is that family isn’t easy to deal with. My Dad has gone through the exact same predicament and he did dispense this nugget of wisdom with regards to a lost deal from family:

” If you want to work for your family, be prepared to lose that relative or kin and whatever niceness that used to prevail before….” 

It was pretty exaggerated but he was trying to comfort me by letting me know that even if I had earned that money, it would have been at the expense of ruining a relationship.

• Recently, I have been at the shop undergoing some mentorship from a senior design consultant. With guidance, I somehow managed to get 2 prospects. Let me tell you that one of this particular deal was 99% done. But due to some unforeseen and strange circumstance, it didn’t close.

I am not bitter because  I know the worth of the company, the craftsmen, the products and services and with time to come, this company will be a brand to be reckoned with.

As some of you may know, I used to work in the government sector. This jump into the merciless land of consumers is daunting. I have had exceptional luck drawing customers in, only to be rejected for cheaper sources. Work is never easy…. especially in turbulent times like these. CHIN UP! Business is Business

TODAY, I was happily packing my room in total oblivion when I stumbled upon a card…

I spotted an unopened card stuck between all my work documents… I sieved it out wondering what this very unfamiliar card was doing in between work stuff….

Gerry I know you asked for my address some time ago and so I happily waited for a letter to arrive but it never did, and now I know why….

MY MAID DUMPED IT IN BTW ALL MY OLD, JUNK WORTHY work documents, and she never told me a thing. I SWEAR she’s pissed me off big time now… She could have just placed it on my table BUT IT WAS chucked in btw my stuff….

*THANKS GERRY  & I’m sorry I didn’t get to see ur pretty card and prezzie earlier *

I really love these shoes. SO DAMN CUTE ….

Hey Gerry, Your hand writting has really changed man…. But I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and even though its March 2009, I wana say thanks for your belated greetings last year….

The power of doing nothing.

I was reading through a few articles on obsessive compulsive disorders and found that doing nothing is something we OCD sufferers cannot do.

We can’t do nothing for long periods of time. We can’t just sit watching the sky or simply laze in a room, or our minds start to wonder aimlessly on scary topics, that we wished were never there.

I’m learning to Do Nothing Because I have OCD and when I do nothing, I feel mentally and physically ill. Its disruptive.

Doing Nothing is very difficult for me because when I was young, I was sick a alot of times. I had very bad asthma and it usually striked when I had any exciting program lined up. Mostly, I was sick and I was always in bed, doing nothing.

Luckily, I grew out of my childhood asthma, ( although I still have to watch my intake of cold drinks), but this fear of doing nothing was already deeply ingrained in me. Doing nothing had a bad intonation.

I am trying to smell the roses. I have a wonderful hubby and a loving family. I do not have any boss to please except myself and its time to let gentility back into my world. Its time to buy some roses to decorate my room and do nice things for myself and loved ones. Its time to let go of my expectations and my self judging and just let things be.

Doing nothing doesn’t mean I’m really doing nothing. Doing nothing is the first step to doing something!

nana, Relax man, u need a break ! Go do nothing k. I miss ya.

I think this superman series has gotten better as the each season progresses. I enjoyed it more towards the later season.

Jamie Scott (born February 12, 1982) is a British singer.

For $21.90 , this lip gloss has serious staying power. You most probably will need a base color to achieve a look similar to the first picture. Her lips are also probably BOTOX to death. GO figure. They have other colors selling at watsons.

My Rebonded hair lor… damn Short…

I MISS U GIRLFRIENDS…. and everyone who actually reads this crazy blog of mine.

So many things have happened this past week that I have just only had a chance to recover from the major ups and downs. Oh my god, where do I start?

Lets see:

1) I tried to perm my hair.

‘ Follow my pictorial progress which details my horrific impulsive nature on Wednesday 25 Feb 2009′

I have mostly had long hair for a large part of my life. It slims my huge ass face and it suits me. But I have been dying for a lindsay lohan perm for so so long, I though I would head on down to post centre and go to any hair dressing salon to go for a normal perm which would eventually soften with time and look more and more lindsay lohan-ish. WRONG WRONG WRONG

I had to endure looking like an aunty

Only to have F*&ing damaged hair…. Look at the curls.

They look more like oddly shaped macaroni…

Feel like F*%#ING CRYING WHEN I SEE MY LONG HAIR…. The thing is I was so calm. I couldn’t go back to her to scold her or even demand some sort of compensation like I normally would have done. The woman responsible for this is having a baby sometime this week and I didn’t have the heart to scold her. My hair can always grow back..(  Can you tell that  I am trying very badly to comfort myself??)

I had to go out on thursday so I made the best of the situation. Damn man.  I  grew my hair out long determined to get linsday lohan curls. It’s just not fated. Curls & I. Second Ear Holes & I. ]

SO, I HATED MY HAIR …. HATED IT ON WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY  & FRIDAY and ON SATURDAY MORNING, I CUT THE SHIT OFF & HAD TO REBOND MY OVER PROCESSED BADLY x2 DAMAGED AND BURNT HAIR….. F*%&ing NONSENSE!!

Now my hair is straight, shorter and gross. Better than cock hair as Mas puts it.

I’m Back people- I’m Straight and Boring:)

2) Miss Rosie & Myself had a makeover gig   [* Before and after pictures*]

3) A Re- launch of Country Concept Website:

GO VISIT    ———» http://www.countryconcept.com/

Mas did a beautiful job with this new revamped up market website.

If you ever would need a website designer or IT dude, my hubby is seriously good. He’s honest, has taste and has over 6 years of experience in this field. THANK U MAS!

I am in love with it.

I hope you love it too… GO LOOK AT COUNTRY’s CONCEPT WEBSITE…..

My friend came to my home the other day and she cried when she saw my home. She’s an emotional person but she said she was so affected by the beauty of my home and felt that I was so fortunate to live in a country, cozy beautiful home like mine.

It’s nice to look through other people’s eyes once in a while and appreciate what I take for granted on a daily basis. My father and his craftsmen are a truly rare breed and he’s so talented. My god. Enough for now people. I send my love. Don’t PERM your hair at cheap salons and hope you enjoy my pictures and this long long post.
