Start of the Year 2011

Another year has passed, and indeed time really flies. 22 years, going into my 23rd year and I still can't bring myself to believe that I am past 18 years old. Somehow I don't feel like I am a 23 year old adult.

My new year resolution is to lose weight. Yes every year I will make this my aim but every year instead of going down on the scale, I climb up the scale. :( Dear did a comparison of me last time and now, and I can really see a huge huge difference.. damn it. Really, I was not so fat then because I ate lesser, and I joined some Herbal Life programme and there is this nutritionist who will ask me to only eat 1 meal a day and drink their specially formulated nutritional shake for the other 2 meals. And surprisingly it really works. I managed to lose like 5 kg over 2 months which was really remarkable for me. Then I stopped the programme because that guy who is in charge of me kept wanting me to go back every week for reviews and the office is not very convenient for me to go. I find it a little irritating so being contented with my 5kg loss of weight, I stopped drinking the nutritional shake. Then I start frequenting Sakae and steamboats.. and a lot of junk food. This is how I landed myself into what I am today.

Another new year resolution is for my family to be safe and healthy. Nothing can be more important than that. I wish for my father to stay healthy and recover from his constant coughing, my mother's hand to be better as she is feeling numbness in her hand, as well as her business to prosper. And my brother, to drive safely please.

I have nothing to wish for myself, except that I will be able to land myself into a career with good prospects, and my business to prosper.

2010 has been a year full of misfortunes, which brought upon my family a lot of troubles. Bad luck, Shoo! Good luck in the year 2011!

At this moment, I had just finished doing quality check for all my apparels which I had just purchased wholesale. All designs carefully chosen by me. I asked around the whole complex on manufacturing of clothes, and the good news is, almost every shop does manufacturing of clothes, but the bad news is their minimum order quantity is 60 pcs per design (mix and match of colors and sizes!). 60! How to accept that large a quantity! But like what they said, it's exclusive to us only and that same design will not be sold elsewhere, unlike my manufacturer now, whom we had a one-month policy with. Perhaps I can consider this in future when I have reached my number 10,000 people in my mailing list, and an average of 200 deals per collection.

I suggested to dear about changing my current model now as she is too expensive for me to hire and my profit margin is low because of this. He agreed on it and even commented that the new model I found was not bad. Her first photoshoot will be on next Saturday! We shall see.

Dear also suggested setting up a home studio to save cost in the long run, which I agreed. We passed by Gain City and we enquired about the Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras. Canon E500 was an old model and was not for sale anymore. The latest model is E550, at a price of $1359! Plus the must-get flash at $229, a total of 1.6k! A little over our budget.

Will be heading down to the electronics fair at Suntec this either this Sunday or Monday to see if there are any good deals.

In another 1 day's time, we will be heading to Genting! Mad excited about it although it's going to be a really short trip. I hope Cyclone indoors and cockscrew outdoors is open! If not it will be a wasted trip there!

Oh and did I mention my iphone casing from Korea just arrived? Real pretty I love the bling blings! :)

P/S: Sorry dear about mentioning that. I will not anymore.
