Busy Month

This is a busy month for hubby and I, especially since we are starting some new products and he’s getting into a new line. I’m trying to check out other competitors’ products too, and do a rough market survey. I guess I have most of the name tags with logos for most of the major industrial fairs in Bangkok now. LOL!

So far, my staffs have been very helpful and good enough. I would like to push them more but I can’t do so, for fear of losing any of them now especially at this critical moment. But I might need to get more sales to cover our investment in diversifying the company. Oh ya, I need to get a new office building!

Architect Fair

We visited an architect fair yesterday and I love what I’d seen there. I hope that we will be able to buy a land one day, and build our own house here in Thailand. It’s going to cost a bomb but it’d be my dream house come through. I like those latest building materials especially the waterproof kitchen!!! It’s awesome! It’s a must for Bangkok since it’s a flood plain, so no one knows for sure if a major flood will happen again.

I like those gazebos like those from pergolas. I must have one in my garden and I’ll design the landscape.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, do check out baltimore Mother’s day flowers promotion if you are interested. My mom is not keen of receiving flowers and she prefers to plant her own. She’s good at gardening anyway.

I haven’t celebrated Mother’s Day with her for years, that’s the price of living abroad and she’s still in my home country. But we are meeting up at least once a year, so I’ll make it up to her.

Tummy!

After merely 5 days of feasting back home, I’m back with a bump of fat! I shall try to limit my food intake, but I won’t skip meal. Judging from my experience, if I skip a meal, I will eat more for  the next! LOL!

Nevertheless, I won’t take any diet supplement too, especially after having to read more about the side effects. It’s best to stay fit and healthy without jeopardizing my health.

Furniture

I’m glad that we chose to source for our dining set on our own and it’s one of the first furniture arrived at our place. I would love to have a bigger table with more seats but due to space constraint, we are settling with 6 chairs. We got the set from the furniture fair, and even if it’s not one of those cheap dining room sets, the price is very reasonable.

Now, I’m sourcing for a bigger sofa but it’s not urgent. We already had one, but I’m thinking of moving it into my room and getting another set. Let’s see.

Almost

The place is just 80% completed and I’m not sure when will the whole condo be done. Actually, after staying in it for months, I can’t be bothered much about the progress, as long as the kitchen is fixed and my boy’s bed is here. But maybe hubby is still trying to do some other “projects” as I saw him getting another quote from another contractor. Whatever…. just don’t dirty to place.

I’m glad that I don’t have a tub now, so I can forget about scrubbing the tub or getting those hot tub covers. Not having a cleaner is a pain in the a**.

Can’t wait for my ex cleaner to be ready to be back to work.

Learning about money

I’m not sure what’s the exact term of my gals’ school project today, but she has to bring some money and a toy to be sold in class as part of their weekly term. She’s supposed to bring only ONE toy, but this morning, she packed a bag of old toys. OMG. I didn’t let her bring all the toys, of course, and telling her that these toys, once sold, won’t be coming back. But she said, ok la, don’t come back never mind, I don’t want already. O.o

In the end, she brought along her favorite wand and another toy, which I can’t remember. I will not buy her another wand, and let her “suffer” the consequence of selling one of her favorite toys. LOL!

And they use real money in this learning process, instead of challenge coin or fake notes. So, I guess she will spend all her money.

Making Ends Meet

Contribution by Kennith Griffin

I am in the process of setting up a website for my business, and it is harder than I thought it would be. I won a small boutique, and I am barely making ends meet. I figured I could save a few hundred bucks if I made it myself, but I don’t know if I made the right decision. I am starting to think that I should have hired a web designer and seen it as an investment. You can’t operate a successful business these days without a functional website, so the fact that I don’t have one up and running is hurting my bottom line every day. I am driving myself crazy because I am too stressed outto figure out how to figure all of this stuff out. I think I am going to have to give in and hire someone when it comes down to it. It’s not worth it to stress out and lose business. If I hire someone I know they will get the job done right, and all of this worry will be over.

Rich

Don’t you wish that you will have more money to spend? If I may, I will shop till I drop, buying all those designer bags, shoes, Black diamond earrings, jewelry and more houses and cars!

That’s the kind of life I wish I can afford, without working too hard to it! But in reality, it’s totally different. Everything I have is earned the hard way as I’m not born nor married to rich family.

But then again, I can be very proud of myself for achieving on my own.

Body Building

I wonder if hubby should take testosterone boosters? When he was into body building, he used to take some supplement in shaping up. Maybe he’s interested in checking out this  myoripped review.

In my opinion, I think he needs more sleep as he doesn’t rest enough. He’s in 40s now, so it’s time to take good care of his health. As for me, I need to take some vits!
