Bios Life

Last Thursday, attended Bios Life Franshisee talk with Leon at his MLM Company.

The drink is supposed to lower cholesterol and helps in diabetes.

Leon signed as one.

On Saturday, both of us went for the 90 days challenge blood test. This is to make sure that the drink helps if not, we can ask for refunds.

Hopefully the drinks help us.

Hehe...

Cooks Wanted!

I want to setup a cafe.

I need someone that can cook.

I need a Cook.

I need help!

I should place a Job Ad. on Classified and hopefully someone can assist me in my Cafe Dreams.

Let's pray again!

Peter - Daylight Pictures

My relationship with Peter was worsened on 18th March 2007.

I have rejected a few of his clients because the dates and prices dun match my expectation.

he has been quoting too low and I am seriously too tired to accept such assignments.

He asked me for last year Commission and I told him some clients have been given too low price and it is impossible to give him the comms. Even his cousins asked for discount and now he is asking for commission on the jobs done on his cousins.

I will ask the Cousins to pay for the commission if his wife or his so-called accountant called me. Lem who is also my accountant will talk to her.

His last cheque to me which was S$500.00 was not signed and I have to send back to him for signature.

I dun wish to work with him again. Forever.

Urinating Blood

Meimei has been urinating blood for the past 2 months.

I am very worried and I do not know what to do.

Should I bring her to vet or let her recover by herself?

She is still active and is eating well but I am not sure how she is feeling.

I am worried the medical fees will cost a bomb again.

Her last medical treatment in December cost me S$600.00.

I will pend for my next pay cheque to be cleared then I bring Meimei to see Vet if she is still not ok.

Shop or No Shop?

These few days, I am very lost.

I do not know why the retail shops I aim always give me lots of problems.

I have rejected Albert Court Hotel and is taking a unit at Sunshine Plaza but the current Tenant of Sunshine Plaza is not willing to move and looks like she will hates me for moving in.

The current Tenant is dealing with hairdressing and beauty massages. I dun know if that is pure massages or ... "you know i know type"

If I were to rent that unit, her sister who is 2 units away is operating a Sharks Fin Shop and I might get abusive remarks everytime when they passed by my shop. I have wild imagination. I hope that is still my imagination. Haha...

If I dun take any shop now, I do not know where and how I can sell the goods at my Living Room now.

Dun know how ...

Fashion Playground 2007

Lai and Leon helped me on 15th March for the photography of Fashion Playground 2007 at Marina Square.

The show is semi-sponsored by Absolute and of cos, we get to drink some too!

I dun like alcohol so no comments on that.

Some Photographers are damn bad. They can request those in front to move away so that they can take the perfect shots. They have forgotten that those in front are also trying to take the perfect shots too! Disgusting ppl.

Lem even got scolded by one photographer on 18th March as he accidentally blocked his view. Poor Lemmie... Not much money on this job and yet still get scolding.

Olympus E-500

Bought Olympus E-500 at IT Show on Sunday!

It cost S$1,199 with 2 lenses and a free additional battery!

Quite a good buy!

Hope to be a Photographer together with Lem for future projects!

Goodbye Albert Court Hotel

Finally, I have learnt to let go!

Albert Court Hotel has been giving me lots of problems since Day 1.

The unit at 01-02 did not reinstate to original and Far East whom was the Management Company did not reply me on the condition.

I always believe when we let go of something, we will recover something better soon!

Stay Tuned!

Music CDs Distributor

Last night, while shopping at HMV Citilink, we saw Piano Spa and Bandari Series New Age CDs.

We think such CDs can sell at our shop so I tried my best to find out whom I can buy the CDs from and luckily, I managed to trace out 2 Suppliers.

Once our shop is opened, I can call them to supply us those CDs at Retailer's Price.

Good Deal!

Cheers

Mark

Straits Times Display Ads

Called Straits Times today to find out the rates for display Ads on their Saturday Life Section.

They will charge me S$4K plus for 1/4 page.

If I take 1/8 page, that will be S$2.5K.

Quite costly but no choice, now is the time to place Ads for my Coco Lamps.

I am really worried Noi will assign someone else as their Singapore Agent. They have shifted their office to a more convenient place in the city and I am really worried someone will buy and import the same products before we do.

Hope everything turns out smoothly.

IT Show 2007

Went to IT Show last evening with Lem.

Nothing special. Actually wanted to find a camera phone and sign up a mobile contract but surprisingly, none of the service provider has the offer.

Got 1 Shaw Movie Ticket and S$5 Mac Voucher free. Not bad.

Had Fish Soup at Marina Square and had "Dessert" at Macdonald.

Hope there will be more great deals on handphone this Saturday.

Home & Decor Magazine

Just realised there is this magazine by SPH which is published monthly.

I think I can place Ads on this magazine to promote my Coco Lamps.

They charge S$3K plus GST for one issue.

They have a circulatiion of 27K copies and with a readership of 59K.

If I have 1K clients from there who will buy the Coco Tree, I will make a gross sales of S$1,980 * 1000 = S$1,980,000

I must be dreaming.

Who will buy such expensive Tree from me?

I will be contented if I can have 500 Clients from the magazine. Half of that is good enough.

I will catch a copy of the magazine later.

J.B. Wedding Videography

Abel who was my Ex Client recommended me to his friend for a Wedding Videography.

I am quite reluctant to take up this deal as it requires me to go to J.B. on 1st May, Labour's Day on an early morning.

They will arrange transport for me from Woodlands Custom to J.B. and of cos back to Singapore but I think this deal is too harsh for me.

I have been choosy and selecting Clients ever since the beginning of this year. I do not want to overwork myself and sometimes do not get paid by nasty couples.

As this Couple requires Express Highlights and it looks like a rush wedding, I will not be able to take up this deal.

Morning ends at 1.30pm and evening begins at 7pm. Less than 6 hours of interval. Too much stress to handle.

Sorry ...

My Maternal Grandma vs My Evil Mother!

During the Chinese New Year, I saw my mum at my grandma's place. I did not talk to her nor did she. She did not give me Ang Bao as usual and I never craved for that too!

My grandma later asked me if she gave. I said "No" and she said my mum is poor now. She is working long hours helping to sell satay at Hawker Centre.

I am not interested to hear or know about all these. She has been leading a good life as a Mistress for many years at Geylang with a Pimp and now the Pimp is dead, she is receiving her retribution! I dun think I am doing anything which is wrong. She did not care for me nor love me. Why should I care for her?

I have no feelings for her.

I dislike this topic and I hope my grandma will stop talking about it as she does not know the story behind my sufferings years ago.

Damaged Coco Lamps

Yesterday, I emailed Noi on 2 of the damaged Coco Lamps.

As usual, she said I must ship back to her if I want full refund. If not, it will only be half price of the actual cost to be compensated.

I have no choice but to accept the latter as I am at her mercy now. I am hoping that her products can sell in this competitive Singapore Market.

Honestly, I wonder how many Rich People can afford my Lamps and Trees?

Stay Tuned!

FujiFilm Photo Developing Kiosk

This morning, I called FujiFilm to make enquiry on their Photo Developing Kiosk.

They told me it will cost S$10K and each paper will cost around 28 cents. Recommended Charging per piece to customer is 50 cents.

I would say for a small shop like ours at Albert Court Hotel, it is very impossible for us to break even the cost.

Imagine, even if we can print 100,000 Pcs 4R, that is only S$5K collection. Minus away the cost, I make only 2.2K. I still have to include electricty and operation cost.

I think I must give up the idea on developing Photos in the shop.

Too expensive!

Lily's Haunted Apartment ... Again!

Lily told me the female ghost at her Bayshore Park Condo has managed to follow her to Loyang Valley.

I was very shocked!

It happened on the night when Vasu did not come home and Lily sensed a lady sitting at the living room while she was walking to the kitchen for water. She did not see the lady but she said she can sensed the lady appearance through her mind.

Later, she approached some friends and they recommended her 3 Thai Monks to her house. They chanted and prayed in her house during the Chinese New Year period.

I dun think they are good.

When I asked what happened later, Lily told me the monks brought the ghost to Sembawang and set her free. Lily chose that place as she said Sembawang is very far from Loyang Valley which is at Changi. Haha... That sounds very funny!

She paid around S$600.

Later she told me, Vasu left her again and this time, it was a whole duration of 14 days.

Sometimes, I really pity her.

They searched houses together just like a newly wed couple. They shop for furnitures at Ikea but later things turns out to be so bad.

Even if Vasu comes back this time, I think they are still not compatible.

Lily is still a mistress. Vasu still have wife and children in India.

Happiness can never happen.

Louis & Tess

Lestin filmed a Wedding Couple by the name of Louis and Tess last year October. They booked through me. I did their editing.

Louis is a very funny man. He refused to pay me cash nor transfer me the money and I had to keep his DVD until he pay. He did pay but that was many weeks later.

He sent me email a few days ago telling me his DVDs are corrupted. What the hell is that? DVDs corrupted?

I have never heard anything from my Ex Clients that my DVDs gave them problems.

He is very rude. He just say it is corrupted and wants me to send him another set.

I ignored his email and I will wait for his call then I will burn him a copy.

I dun think it is my DVD's fault as it has been more than 3 months since he has the DVDs.

Someone could have damaged the Discs and he just wanted complimentary copies.

Ugly Louis!

Lem's Birthday Treat at Merchant Court Hotel

Had a wonderful Buffet dinner at Merchant Court on Lem's Birthday.

It cost him $76 for 2 because they served New Year Food.

We had a 3 hours dinner sitting outside the restaurant beside the river chatting.

I told him I really need to buck and do some marketing for the business if I really have the shop.

I must try to make money and not wasting my time by sleeping.

Thanks Leonie for the Buffet.

3rd March 2007

As expected, Sealan was unable to provide a bare original unit today.

Kumar who was Ong KT's assistant wanted me to sign the takeover but I very reluctantly refused. Luckily, Ong came at the last minute just like Superman coming to rescue me.

He told Sealan the glue stain on the floor has to be painted. He will also ask his men to tear down all fall ceiling lights and additional power points which are not supposed to be in the unit.

I am so happy that Far East has such a good staff!

Now, I will pend for all these things to be completed before I can commence my business.

Stay tuned!

Lem's 34th Birtrhday!

Today is Lem's 34th Birthday!

I guessed he must have worked very late yesterday. He called me at 1.30am fom his office but I was sleeping like a pig already.

Poor Lemmie!

His work must be very tough and therefore he always have to work late.

I am also very bad. I always ask him to help me this and that despite his busy schedule at work.

I hope with this new shop, I will be able to be more independent and hopefully, make some money for me and for him.

Must buy Infinity this year!

Haha...

Sealan Vs Auntie

Yvonne from Far East called me today. She told me something which really shocked me! Sealan is not the nephew of the so-called aunt. He is only an Employee and yet he has the guts to decide on the handover for the shop.

Yvonne told me the lady boss is not going to return in original condition and wants me to accept with 1 week fitting period. I told Yvonne I am no longer interested in this Roti Prata flipping here and there. I insisted to have the original bare condition. I dun bother who the lady boss now is. Sealan is a liar.

Sealan wanted to ask for takeover fees and keep the money for himself I guessed. He did not tell his aunt about the takeover fees that initially offered but was rejected by him as he think it's too low. Then he said he will rather return in original condition for the shop space. I am of cos very happy to accept original condition. I hate that dirty carpet and the smell. I rather have cemeted flooring which can gives out a rustic peaceful feel.

Let's wait and see if anything good happens tomorrow. I asked Sealan not to call me on the neg. for 1 week fitting period. He should tell Far East and let Far East decide. I already stated my stand that I need 2 weeks.

That is why I called him, Mr Roti Prata. Takeover date I supposed have to change again.
