in search of perfection
Something small before I dash out for a crazy afternoon of errands.
About two years ago, a friend of mine told me something profound that has stuck in my mind to this day. We were discussing relationships and how we all have a dream of the perfect partner for us.
You know how idealogical we all get, [...]
a little dream time
I’d really love to be here right now.
Plitvice Lakes in Croatia.
Beautiful, isn’t it?

o! for a horse with wings!
One thought has been heavily on my mind for the past few weeks.
I want to fly.
I look up at the sky and want to take one huge leap and soar…
When I’m on a motorbike, I close my eyes and imagine myself a thousand feet in the air, the wind rushing by my face…
At night, I [...]
your subconscious is a sneaky lil’ bugger
I’ve realised with growing concern that there’s too much of me scattered in here, but two things keep me going. One, it’s my blog darnit, sue me. Two, when I started the blog, I promised myself I’d only talk about life, technology, design and business issues based on experiences I have gone through, unless they’re [...]
stay hungry, stay foolish
I have an sms dated 6th June 2003, 9:01pm in my old phone. It goes something like this:
“Over six months I have called this place home. And so it ends. The future beckons. Shall we proceed? Afterall, it is only destiny”.
I sent that message to myself that night, via True African, lame I know, especially [...]
letting the old go
I carry two phones. Not to show off, but simply because right now it’s practical. Both phones are very old, and very tired.
One of them, the one I can’t let go off, I’ve had since around June 2003. It’s a Sony CMD-J70. It’s O.L.D, and each ring, sms, and call is an earnest plea for [...]
lazy days
Today was one of those totally pass you by days. I woke up at 3:30pm! Well, granted, I slept at 4am, but it felt good to just take a chill pill for a lazy sunday.
Design Kingdom is finally up, for all you designers. I’m currently maintaining it as well, posting almost twice a day, but [...]
restaurant deal is almost done
Yesterday’s meeting with the valedictorian owner of the hotel went well. He’s a pretty decent chap, not too presumptious like I initially thought he would be. He was very casual, in manner and dressing; jeans and stuff, and has a background in Computer Science and some finance, so we kind of connected.
We ironed out most [...]
it pays to take that first small step
I have a friend, we’ll call him Jimmy.
I got to know Jimmy through my former business partner, with whom I had started NVGOR8, a multimedia and design firm. NVGOR8 didn’t work out as we expected, another post, another day.
Jimmy was a very sleek man, always looking sharp and crisp, with nice custom made suits. He’d [...]
You tread on my dreams
At what point does the pursuit of excellence become an obession?
Today was a beautifully ugly day.
Early in the morning, I recieved a message from a very irate client, who was not satisfied with the final product we had delivered.
Halfway during the day, I got another call from a client who asked me to call him [...]
