Adek’s Drawing on My Wall

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

I’ve gotten so inspired to write this particular entry of Blog.

My designer-artist is drawing on my house wall! OMG. I knew that his works looked great, just didn’t know how great it looked up front and when it was being drawn in progress. It looks amazing! He’s SO talented man!!!! I can just go on and on and on about his work (note: his work- i’m not attracted to him otherwise). Am taking photos of the various WIP. It looks awesome. can’t wait for it to be done man! It’ll look really really good!!!! Will post more pics here when it’s over. Thern you too can see (or try to at least see) what I’m seeing now. WOW

Other than that, we’re going MAAD this Sunday! Keep It Like A Secret is gonna set up shop at the MAAD (Market of Artist and somerthing something- for original work only) this Sunday at the Red Dot Design Museum. We’re gonna sell our t-shirts, drawings, notebooks, slippers, etc. Can’t wait for that. Judging from what my artist is planning for the stall, i think it’s gonna be crazy!!!!! Come down if you’re free! We start at 11am to 6pm, and the Red Dot Design Museum is located at the old Maxwell Traffic Police Headquarters. Take the MRT to Tanjong Pagar MRT, turn right once you’ve tapped your ezlink, go up the escalators till you come to the open air. turn left (you’ll see the WhiteHouse building) and walk along the white house until you see the RED building. That’s the Red Dot Traffic building. The museum is there too. You shd see the MAAD sign lah.

Very very excited! Website looks great. My house wall looks great. Sunday sounds great. Everything’s GREAT! All except that nagging headache that spreads to my eyes that I have no idea what it is (neither do my doctor) but to hell with that! I’m having FUN!

2.24am in the morning according to my lappy. Just finished sending the email to as many people as I can possibly think of. So excited I dun think I’ll be able to sleep at least for the next 2 hours or so. I keep refreshing my Inbox for my Microsoft Outlook to see if anyone has decided to make the very first purchase of the www.keepitlikeasecret.org website. I know, sounds pathetic. hahahaha.. But cannot help but feel dizzy with excitement.

Dunno where this will lead me but am hopeful about the future of this business. Just hope my two other partners are as enthusiastic about it as I am… But I do see potential in this, so am gonna pursue it with all I’ve got.

News of promotion finally came true. Got a ’senior’ added to my level. Sighz. Means more work at almost the same salary. Was very happy with the raise, then realised that my CPF will take a chunk out of it and so not that happy anymore. Sighz. Anyway, i think the news already sunk in when my boss accidentally blurted it out a month or 2 ago when he was drunk, so all the excitement and happiness already worn off by the time I signed the papers. Nevertheless, am glad to be doing pretty good 1 year into this job. Thank God!

Nuff said. My head still filled with keep it like a secret, thinking of how to further increase the sales and how to market it. Any ideas out there? Wacky ones are welcomed too! Dun wanna be too conventional with anything nowadays.

Hopefully will get this up well lah. I know my designer has a strong following since he started this a year ago, just have to tap on this following and to build on that.

Wish me luck. Am gonna need this, and more, to make this thing really really big.

Keeping fingers, toes and tongue crossed.
