Loss of Words..........

Meet up my army mates tdy at Fish & Co (Wheelock Place). Richie Ronald is leaving so is sort of gathering b4 he leaves.

I meet them after they have their dinner.. cos I was with my dad having dinner at kopitiam plus I wanna save money on having to spend 20 bucks on a meal.. cos my depreciating bank figures is scary..

This week is the worst week of my life. Things not going smoothly.. lost 3kg lately.. losing all my well tone body...

Facing my friends who did make their clothes with me doesn't come into perfection.. stress and tension hits my aching heart.... I wasn't feeling right that day when they came my house to take measurement, but I shouldn't use that as an excuse.. I shall learn from this! and never repeat the same MISTAKE again!!.......

I disappointed my friends, their support... I disappinted myself the most..

I will meet up them and do some adjustment for them... asap

NEVER REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN!! Sorry........

Savings is hitting rock bottom, so is my pathetic soul tired sad and demoralise once again..

I still need to fight .. cos the battle is not yet over and shall never be over......endure...

Right now I need to built the confidence back in my soul.. I need to force myself back..

I WILL BE BACK !!!

Research & Development




Went Shopping for the first time since I came back from Aus.. I was trying to get more shirting ideas so I went to Raoul Store at Paragon. Well, their shirts are trendy and nice.
I bought this shirt to assistin in my R & D.
I shall use this shirt to come out with some different ideas of short sleeve tailored shirts.
Ready make shirts are still not my kind of choice cos they dun hav the size that i exactly want. Hopefully my clients will like it after the R & D is done.

How to Wash Off Stubborn Stain?

I wash posted this question on my little chat box. To me it seems abit difference cos u can google it to find solutions.

This is what I reply him,

Hi XXX,
Stains are always there. But to totally remove it, I really have no 100per cent cure. As my job is a tailored fashion consultant.

Normally what I do will be to dip the clothes I wear into a strong detergent and leave it overnight ( More than 10hrs ). In the morning, I will wash it by hand and hang it dry. If u want yr shirt to last longer use hand wash at all times, or if u are lazy after dipping overnight jus throw into the washing machine. But pls ensure u do not wash together with staining clothes like jeans etc. Hand wash is more advisable.

This is what I have search for u in the internet.

Perspiration stains and ring around the collar are also a common complaint. For perspiration, soak the garmet in white vinegar and work the stain out. Launder as usual. For ring around the collar, try white chalk. The chalk absorbs some of the oils in the fabric. It may not completly remove the stain, but your garmet will look a lot better. Launder as usual.

No method is full proof, however, most work near 100% of the time if you act quickly and have the necessary equipment and knowledge.

Do not leave yr clothes for weeks and wash. Stain will be more lasting and tougher to get rid

Clothes can be well taken care off, its how much care are you willing to give it... based on my thoughts cos sometimes I bought stuff that I like yet I dun even wear it.. well so I did care.. lol.

As the same logic goes, how to prevent yr computers fr virus, dun surf the net.. but we still do. haha

Fabrics.. Collection Classic..






Some of you guys might have seen these fabrics, but to share with those who haven seen it I decided to post it.

Can I Make This?


Someone post this question to my email and asked me if I can make this shirt. Yes this is a very common shirt in shopping district. It will cost between 105 -120 for a tailored ones depends on the fabric the customer choose.
Is it trendy? Erm not really but customer is always right so if they wanna do I will do for them. The while collar and cuff and dirty easily, so my advise is that when u wash dip into detergent overnight and hand wash it if possible the next day morning.

The buttons that I use are exclusive shell button which are more durable and more costly than normal buttons. Normal button are thinner and lighter, they might crack with strong force applied to it (Thailand tailored shirt uses the cheaper ones, if you have done so check for yourself). You can find similar buttons which I am using at branded outlets.
If you take a closer look, the other side of the button is a white surface and thats the shell.

Happy Chinese New Year .. 2008

Happy Chinese New Year...........(erm wat so happy about chinese new year? ..) This was asked by my secondary school teacher who uses this joke to crack the Monday blue. It didn't seems to work, but I did remembered his words.

Last friday, I met Zhikun, Zhenrong & Jeff for a late night supper session. As usual we were chatting about shirts n stuff which I did for my friends not long ago. I share with them wat I feel about and wat I have learn when doing business with friends.

Doing business with friends and families:
1) Try to avoid partnership, sleeping working partner or even investment. Why? If you are making heaps of money, will you want to share your profit after all the hardship is done by u? It is difficult to be fair as fairness is judge by an individual perspective. What seems fair to you might not be fair to the rest.

If your business is not making money, this is when stakeholders will voice out their concerns and disrupt the right way in decision making and day to day running. Cos u are using their money... lol so you are forced to listen even you dun wan to.

2) In a business is like war, there is only one General-In-Charge. The general give command and the rest follow. This is like ancient war stories, internal conflict will happens when there is conflict of interest.

3) Friends do help as well when you start your business. In business, you gain support from your family members, relatives and then your friends.

4) Charging friends is always a headache cos normally they will ask for discount and on top of that asking more than wat a paying customer. The rule of what I learnt is to never make a lost even if it is your friend. You can make a slight profit from your friend but not selling a product at a lost.

After all, business need sales to survive. Your family and friends would want your business to survive and be a listed business that they will be proud of and not a business that is going to closed after several months of operations, they do understand.

I haven edit the grammer will do later gonna go for job interview.. bye

CNY SHIRTS Part 1

The shirts below are for Mr Johnny. The current price after the cny period will be 120 for the black shirt, 105 for the purple one.. both are 2 ply cotton.



I pass him the shirt v. late ard 2300.. Then we went chilling out at a little bar, over there I met an old couple selling snacks at that place... I said" Uncle Aunti..did u used to sell fishball noddles at NYP FOOD JUNCTION?' ...Yes they replied and there it goes we started to chat about our story.. We have a long chat cos I was seating there waiting for my chicken chop rice.

As we were chatting, I suddenly hav the urged to go in n cook as well. It reminded me of those days where I am working in the kitchen.

We left around 0130... When I reached back home lying on my bed, thoughts start to fill my mind...its such a touching moment where u see an old lovely couple operating a little foodstall. It just felt so warmth to see their relationship being built up by "little love stall" 愛心小吃.

Risk Taker

Since the first entry I stated this business and blog, I can be seen or known as a risk taker. At a point of time I really have the idea of giving up my passion and my dream. Well, seeing my friends who are working in other sectors getting stable pay and generous bonus payout to buy cars, or investing in their long term partner... This aches me seriously.

Recently, I met my friends and a female friend of mine asks me this. Why dun u wanna get a gf yrself? I paused and conceptualize the way I wanna reply her... "I am a risk taker, if I have a gf I can't guarantee that I can give her a stable life which other Singaporeans working as a regular job (Pilot, banker engineer etc) can give u. If my business were to fail, I lose both my employment and savings. I don't want the other party to suffer with me seriously... I cannot guarantee that I have enough savings to settle down with her... I don't have enough savings to buy wat others guys could afford on valentine day..

Do you still want a guy like that?

On the other hand, will someone wait till the high potential rewards associated with the opportunity that I believe on?

Will someone downgrade themselves from being ferried by cars for dates than SBS chauffer buses/trains for date?

Entrepreneur lives and suffer to the realistic world of reality. I respect those who walk the Journey...

She replied.. "I rather be with someone with passion and fighting for a dream, than someone who is just a normal person."

I said..." Its easier to say than be in those conditions cos all these cannot 当飯吃"

Wats your point of view?

Guys or gals..If u are reading my blog and wanna help me u can jus simply link me from your own blog. A little advertising do help ... THANKS!!
