Knowing no one here, she embraced Irish life and has not only started her own unusual business, but created a stunning home in Co Kildare\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Businesswoman Vivian Wong in the kitchen she designed with her husband Philip McKendry.

Steve Jobs\u2019 signature phrase when he was giving presentations on Apple\u2019s latest invention was always the same. Invariably as he got near the end of the presentation, he\u2019d say \u201cOne more thing\u201d, and would then go on to describe another even more special feature of the device in question.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom0 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">To herald that her products are special, Vivian daringly called her company One More Thing. It\u2019s quite audacious to hint that you\u2019re putting yourself in the same league as the best, but Vivian has many of the qualities of a top entrepreneur \u2013 ideas, get up and go, a fantastic work ethic, stamina and curiosity. She\u2019s only been in this country nine years, yet already she\u2019s not only created a successful company with One More Thing but also, along with her Irish husband Philip McKendry, has taken a literal shell of a house and turned it into a stunning home with some exceptional interior design details. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vivian Wong left a sunny Hong Kong and came to live with her husband Philip in a rainy&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[9,10,18,13,14,6,19,48305,17,11,12,4746,15,16,4850,5,7,8,128086],"class_list":{"0":"post-244051","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ireland","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-featured-news","12":"tag-featurednews","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ikea","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-latest-news","18":"tag-latestnews","19":"tag-life-magazine","20":"tag-main-news","21":"tag-mainnews","22":"tag-mary-osullivan","23":"tag-news","24":"tag-top-stories","25":"tag-topstories","26":"tag-zara-retailer"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115756711699306737","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
