Magazines

I love magazines related to interior design and architecture. I have a huge collection of it. My favorites are Trends and Singapore Home & Decor. Too bad for Trends, we get the local version most of the time. I do manage to find foreign versions in used bookstores. Singapore Home & Decor keeps me up with the latest trends there.



The other magazines I have are Impiana, AM, Square Room, Dwell, BHG and many more. I cherish all of them very much. Recently moving to the office was very hard. The major thing we had to move were the magazines. I have put them up on my Ivar shelving but i have 2 more boxes sitting there coz i need more magazine holders.

Handover & Stress

We've got 2 handovers this coming week. It's going a stressful week ahead. So much attention has to be paid to minute details.

On the other hand, met a potential client today. Will have to send in a proposal soon.

Long Day....

Phone meeting went great with my client. Now it's time to sit and think how we are going to do this. I told him i will need 2 days to get back to him. Since it will involve me flying there atleast 4 times, i'll have to include the cost for it too.


We'll see, i have 2 days.....


It was a long 3 hours at Ikea today trying to get part of the furniture list for a client arriving on the 26th. He wants to rent out thi place but since he likes the location very much, he is planning to stay in first before he rent it. We had to get 2 nightstands, one dresser, a sofa bed, an office chair, table and it took us that long. Ikea was crowded....


We'll have to make another trip to pick up the lamps and mirror later. Delivery scheduled for Tuesday and hope all goes well....

Second time around

I'm sitting here and waiting for a phone conference with a client i worked with almost 2 years ago. This time around he has bought a landed property somewhere far away from PJ. He is interested in using our design services again. I felt absolutely good when he approached me again. I don't know how we'll be working on a project that far away. We'll see if this will work out.

I told him we've never done it before but there's always gonna be a first time for everything....
