Few and far betweens

Posted by skmkh2002 on September 9, 2008

PM Samak was asked to resign because he breached the constitution, he had private employment during his term of PM.  

The cooking show, Tasting and Grumbling (what a catchy name) was the ultimate down fall of his political term as PM. Apparently, he was asked to appear on 4 episodes, and was paid 20,000 baht per episode.

*gasps* 20,000 baht!

Quite frankly, that is considered peanuts compared to what I was given a quotation to hire emcees for a talk show….I agree – taking money from a private firm is bad, very bad…but..er hmm…how about as honoraria? debatable no?

But that’s besides the point, it is quite amazing (AMAZING THAILAND!) that they can oust him based on this charge. Rather that using any of the bazillion-and-one reasons to have him removed, he was caught red handed wearing an apron and frying chillies.

Nigella Lawson, I love you, if you do get into politics, please remember to give up your Nigella empire – yes that’s right,  Nigella Express and Nigella Feasts have to get axed too.

In my opinion, finding a man who enjoys cooking is quite a feat. Few and far between.

Thank you for punishing a man who has a passion in cooking, so much so that he unknowingly sacrificed his power and position for it.

Cheers to few and far betweens.

HAIR2

Posted by skmkh2002 on September 9, 2008

As I am blogging during work, its only natural for me to write about what I do.

HAIR2Centre

  I am the marketing director of HAIR2Centre.

My father bought the worldwide distributorship of HAIR2 in 1997, so its been our core product for the past 11 years.

You know, approaching people about hair loss is an extremely touchy subject, and so, I take on the more soft approach…put HAIR2 out there, and if people are interested, they contact us. It’s extremely touchy when I see a friend who has hair loss, because I know that I have the answer for them, but everyone’s a skeptic.

I’ve honestly seen many customers change the way they look. We had one printer, who bartered with us (products in exchange for print jobs) and when I came back from York University, he dropped by our office and it was so amazing! His whole crown was thick, and he was very happy.

Also, when we first started the company, during a conference, I met a 5 year old chinese girl (couldn’t speak to her because of my lack of putonghua skills) but the doctor told me that when she was 2 she was walking near her mother when cooking, and the scalding soup pan spilt on her. Her bald patches were from the burns, and HAIR2 helped her grow back hair, at the Chinese hospital.

Oh and most recently, my sister’s friend used it and he looks completely different now.

So yes alot of people can say that I can say whatever I want, but I sincerely know that HAIR2 works.  Like everything in life, it takes effort and patience to make things happen. ( A total course of HAIR2 is on average 5 months)

I just re-designed our website : www.hair2centre.com

and just for ease, I’ll also be uploading our hair loss articles in my blog.
