alright stop

collaborate and stop working!

i'm supposed to finish five a2-sized posters today to be submitted to the mall's marketing department (whose department head is so cute by the way--sometimes i think i'm drooling while talking to him! he's my only chinese crush because chinese boys are not my kind of! well except for my grade school crush named antonio tiu--god, i can't even remember how he looked like--i know his name sounds like confused spanish chinese kid but yep, he's chinese alright.)

this month we're on two magazines, wine&dine and timeout! so yay for us! i'm excited next month when cubes magazine comes out, we will be on a 4-page article. i am so anxious i cannot wait! =) then there's elle and singapore tatler and hopefully, on tv (this local channel wants to film at the shop! so double yay for us!)

last night i finally got to watch before sunset, a sequel to before sunrise (after oue's several attempts of stopping me from watching it). and boy did it remind me of my first love! haha! 13 days until our my 9th anniversary! i can vividly remember march 31, 1999, it was a wednesday.

so anyway, yeah, i need to finish these five posters by 8 and its 7:06 now. oue and karen called asking if i'm going home early. karen's home alone and oue's on his way with j.co donuts. ahh, i want donuts. i want to go home. like now because i don't think i'm making sense here.

now, my five favorite blogs of people talking about the shop.

1. this lovely lady who had breakfast and lunch at the shop on the same day. =)
2. and yes, we have a ken lee who did a nice review about the shop.
3. then there was a mother-daughter bonding sitting on table three. i was going to offer to take them their photos but the mom was so into it (their picture taking bonding) so i didn't bother going up to their table for a quick chat.
4. and we have a, ummm, i'm guessing, a japanese blog about the shop. i know the blogger though, i know her because she came down twice and she ordered the same drink, twice! if you know japanese, please tell me what she's talking about, even though i know they're all good things. (haha confident!)
5. and of course, last but not the least, our first online/blog review on hungrygowhere.com. =) (syet i have yet to put up the site's decal so they could finally post our photo in the review.... hay, so many things to do!)

we are getting there. i guess the hardwork is paying off now, little by little. i have yet to do hardcore marketing and public relations to let this baby stand on her own, then from there we can move on to our second shop. in london. yay! =)
