Project compeletion?? Well, almost there

One of the main reason that I hadn't been writing regularly was my house was under going renovations for the past few months. It had been a long long process and although the time taken had been extraordinary long, I was pretty pleased with the end results. That I have to thank my PILS because if not for their generosity, I will never be able to achieved it.
All of it was paid for my PILs. A lot of the raw materials, accessories were all bought in China where my FIL likes to be most of the time. But I must say, I was embarrassed to take advantage of their generosity. And was in constant reminder to myself not to exceed the budget given. Everything was discussed with my FIL, and relay to my MIL.
As I sat in my dining area the other night, I was happy. Well, in my little heaven. Until, 1 of my friend's wife who happen to be also an ID. I did ask her to quote me but as her quote was much higher and FIL wasn't familiar with her work, we gave the project to another ID who worked with us on my walk in and cupboards in my rooms and also @ pasir panjang. She belong to the Romantic types who would filled a space with lace and velvet! ( Not exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for light, airy and space for the 2 kids) Anyway she came over that night, she scrutinised and turn her little nose at my tiles and toilet accessories. (They came from China). She also find fault with my wood laminates. She insisted that she had never seen this pattern before, And although it looks nice, she is not sure where it is from as she had never see it, therefore it might be from China!. She falls short of saying SUBSTANDARD. She says she never likes using stuff from China as they never meet her requirements, poor quality , not worth the trouble blah blah blah
To me, it doesn't matter where they came from as long as the standard was there. Made in China 's products could be high quality too as long as U are willing to pay. There is always a market for good quality. After all China had been producing 90% of the world's consumables so I honestly feel what I have is on par for quality. And most importantly, it is through my PIL's generous and giving nature that enable me to transform it to my dream hang out. That I will forever be grateful and remember. No other people's opinions matter to me nor dampens my mood. And I feel if U are my friend, then U should rejoice with me, instead of picking on it. This is definitely one of the qualities that I look for in a friend
