Frustration

My TLC website provider - YOC, had been giving me TONS of headaches ever since my first month with them! Bandwidth prob, website maintenance extended without informing us, purchased independent bandwidth with them and STILL encounter issues blah blah blah... I think i've dropped them SO many emails that they've already listed me in their 'hate-list' customers. BUT I SERIOUSLY DON'T CARE OK! I'm super pissed everytime coz they are not very prompt in replying emails and they didn't leave ANY contact no. in their website. very smart. Until the maintenance incident 1 day i dropped them a super long email on my unhappiness with them then finally one of the guy replied with his HP no.

Just ytd i encountered prob with my website again. By right i'm already holding the independent bandwidth and visitors shouldn't have prob entering my website as long as bandwidth limit not hit. but when i tried entering it says STORE IS OVERCROWDED! at first i still tot WAH sooo many ppl visiting my page?! (coz it needs like thousands near million of visitors to hit the max of my bandwidth within a day) but when i chk my statscounter, thats NOT the case! so very smart yet inconsiderate of me call the guy at near 12AM. i'm already so pissed that i couldn't bother about the timing then. Really testing my patience leh! it's really really NOT the first time messed up things like tt happens. sigh...

I've been wanting to chg another provider but i seriously have no idea which is good. And i'm already kinda used to YOC now. :( so i've decided to give them 1 last chance! if another big issue occurs again that i think i can no longer tolerate then THAT'S IT!

spend my weekends at changi chalet (sat) and friend's hse (sun) for my last CNY gathering!

went to the NSRCC Changi chalet and i really love it there! the inside looks modern and the beach is just a short distance away! there're 2 rooms with 4 beds in total and some dilam as well. haha.. no idea why there're dilams.. :P only managed to took a few pictures of the 1st floor. not the bedroom tho :(



























































































It was a really fun night with DD and his bunch of khakis! 'Thumb-master' and Chang beer acc us thruout the night! hahah.. fun game but lousy drink. not a really a fan of Chang beer. the only survivors are me, DD, SQ and koon. tho koon went to slp at 6plus 7 (yes, in the morning) while e 3 of us proceed to the beach in hope of taking pics of the sun rise. but to no avail. :( All 3 of us were pretty shag from the beer so we went bck and slp for mere 1hr plus b4 chking out at 930am. :P

We're supposed to rch Cheryl's hse at 3pm. but we only manage to wake up at 3. hahahh.. prepared and cab down immed. yes, MJ! the gals played MJ while the guys played texas poker. i'm really pretty heng in MJ this yr but definitely not card game! i won ard $200plus in total for MJ this yr but lost back ALL in card games.. and even more i think. be it banluck, in between, texas or pairs.. sigh.. as usual, had a great great time with them! ;)) too bad we're so into our games that we did not tk a single photo. :(( how rare.. coz whenever out with the 3 of them (silvia, mimi & cheryl) we never failed to tk TONS of photos! lol~

i'm gonna change the outlook of The LaModa Closet. Received several feedbacks to make it simple and not so colourful would be more eye-catching. Well, there're just tooo many diff opinions ard. but i definitely appreciate every single one of it! Actually i prefer something simple and not too fanciful as well. so will start working on the website this few days! stay tune for a brand new look~ ;)

meeting up with ting at my plc for preparation of the shoot this sat! it's been really long since i last saw her! busy gal always travelling ard... nights all! ;)

The Virgin Post


It's never easy giving up what everyone tells you it's a 'need' in life for something you 'want'. There're bound to be uncertainties, risk, difficulties, challenges but you know you gotta held responsible for whatever that's coming your way the day you decided on this path. Even if it means 'failure'. Something i wish (and i pray every single day) that I'll never have to befriend with one day...


"Are you sure you're gonna do this?! You got money meh?"
"What?! You quit?! Huh, again???"
"I really envy and admire your courage lor! Really! I wish i have the courage too! I hate my job!!"
"So happy for you! I'll definitely support you!"

Above are some comments (that i could still rmb) i received from close friends and family around me when they know my decision to start up TLC! All i can say is, "Life is short, want to do it, just do la"

I know it's not gonna be easy AT ALL. But i'm ready to take the risk for something i love doing. And true enough, initial stage IS tough. But as the saying goes - When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. I strongly believe perseverance is the key to every success. I do admit i'm never a successful person in my past 20years of life, not even close. 三分鐘熱度, 半途而廢 totally describes me. But i'm not proud of it la of coz. I really hope things will work out well this time round, and i'm gonna trust everything to God while working hard on my part! ;)

TLC is 3months old already! I have so so so much things i wish to do and improve but it definitely takes time and.. $$. Self-manufactured clothings, new website, weekly launches, own labels, warehouse, new studio blah blah blah.. Well, very soon, i just have to keep believing. It's gonna happen very soon. :) I'm told to stay positive in everything. even though i'm never one to begin with. haha.. :P

Good night all! Remember to check out www.thelamodacloset.com! We've just launched a new collection today! And will be launching the next probably in 3rd week of Feb! ;)

Ending my virgin post of this blog with a pic taken by DD which i really like! I dunno why, but i find coins are very inspiring. coz i felt it is alot of hardwork saving up these amount of $1 coins over years. I've tried many times but always failed halfway!! maybe only survived like max 1 month then i will spent it all. hahaha.. ok la maybe it's not that difficult for most of you. only for me. :(
