Waking Up To Calls & Emails

I’m back to life as night’s owl again after being normal for a week..haha..today I woke up at 1pm to several missed calls and 15 emails in the inbox (those are not spam). My bunch of friends were circulating their own created rumors to fill up their boring working day..haha..I’m still sleeping while they have to go to work early in the morning.

I returned the calls and one of my clients told me that she’s coming over to pick more samples to show to the corporate people. You know how I hate handling corporate events. So this time, if there is any contract to do corsages or guest favors, let another party handle the deals, even if it means less money and profit for me.

So at first it’s the proposal for dinner corsages for some foreign delegates to wear on their dinner outfit. They want something traditional so I have to crack my head to come out with several designs in such a short notice. Actually I want to do some songket flower but since I don’t have any songket cloth, so save the idea for another day.

I came out with 3 designs for the corsages using whatever traditional raw materials I could find in my supply. This one use the cinnamon sticks and star anise. The other 2 I used rubber leaf and some mengkuang mat pieces. Then when the clients collected the samples last night, they were excited to see my range of guest favors and today they decided to take those as well to show to the corporate people.

They called in the morning around 11am and they even came in front of my house, honking and calling to no avail. I was sleeping like a log so I didn’t even hear the car horn. You see there is a lorry selling cooking gas always honking in the morning so I think my ear has been accustomed to not noticing the sound of any vehicle’s horn while sleeping..haha!

Then there is another friend’s missed call asking on behalf of another friend for IT services – whether we still do website design etc. I returned her call and gave the details and she will inform the friend.

Finally the corsage client came back again around 2:30pm to take the samples for guest favors.

I hope the corporate people will like at least any one of my designs and guest favors. Now I’m back to replying to the rumors emails. Just as you thought you could relax on Thursday..hehe..
