Today, I picked up a copy of U Weekly knowing my Advertorial will appear in this issue.
I am a bit disappointed as the Advertorial appeared on the left page instead of the usual right page.
I spent the whole day sitting in the shop surfing websites with no potential walk-ins.
Leon has always given me the strength to carry on as he believes both of us can make it for our retail shop.
May Buddha bless me tomorrow for good business!

Ah Haw & Ah Lai
Received a call at 12pm from Ah Lai. He said he is coming over to my retail office this afternoon with Ah Haw and a friend.
Ah haw has passed me 2 albums and he proposed me to market for him at $900 and $1100. I have dfficulty as his works are not to the market expectation. Perhaps he can sell that pakage in Malaysia but I doubt he can sell the same in Singapore.
Albert Chua of Ever After has seen his work and he could not appreciate Ah Haw's work. He discourages me to work with him as it will affect my overall image as a High End Videography Company. He has his points.
I always find it hard to reject people. I do not know how I should put my words to Ah Haw and Ah Lai that I am not using their services. I think they wil be hurt. Maybe our friendship will be affected too!
That is Life!
Business in Retail has been bad since Day 1. I wonder what goes wrong.
I am pending U Weekly to assist in the promotion. If that fails, we will pay for 1 last month in June and will kiss the shop Goodbye.
I really can't bear to close the shop so soon as we have only just started but Leon is right, I cannot sell off my Simei Condo just because of this Business. I would have ended up with nothing. At least, I still have a roof to stay. I must be contented.
And I know I sill have Leon!
Business comes and go. We never know what brings us the luck, what brings us the downfall. Nevertheless, if we never tried, we will forever dun know the result. At least now, we know, we have tried! No Regrets!
Leon, Thanks for always so Supportive!
Cheers

Lemz 121
I just passed the artwork for the new name cards to Regent for an order of 100 pieces which is 1 Box. They charge S$16 special price for me. Usual will be S$18.00.
The new name cards will be mainly for Lemz 121 Clients. As I will be handling Love Cupid and Holistic Counselling, I would say a separate name card with no retail mentioned on it will be better.
Leon is so cute. I asked him how do people usually write their BA or BSc and he sent me a few scanned examples through email. I thought he is already very busy and yet he still spare time to scan and email to me as reference.
I hope Lemz 121 will be a success.

Business
Running a business is really not easy.
My business at Sunshine Plaza still remains same. Not much improvement.
I book an Ad for this Sat. Classified for Sales Exec. I hope to employ one girl to market our lamps product. If that fails, then I will surrender but .... not yet, I still have a match making plans to proceed!
I even do counselling at my shop and hopefully all these will help in my business!
Buddha will bless me!

Bangkok Trip 19th to 23rd April 2007
How time flies!
I was preparing to fly Bangkok last Thursday and today is Thursday again!
Leon and me flew to Bangkok last Thursday night via Swiss Air and stayed at Twins Tower Hotel for 4 nights. Lily tagged along.
I felt bad for her as we cannot accompany her on Friday. We had to visit the Trade Fair with Sureemas and we had no choice but to leave her alone. She cannot walk that much as she is easily tired. Bangkok weather is not for her. She followed us to Chatuchak on Saturday and she almost melted under the super hot weather. She made an U Turn at the entrance of Chatuchak and speed off to Siam Paragon for the Aircon Comfort.
Sureemas brought all of us for Dinner near her old office, Patco. It was a far journey but the food is delicious!
Lily seems to enjoy the food very much.
After dinner, she felt weak and tired. She said it could be due to the beer. She dropped the plan to visit the A-go-Go Boys that night. She slept early.
Sureemas brought us to the Floating market on Sunday morning. No, not exactly morning as we reached there around 11pm and the weather was terribly HOT! Lily loved the noodles and she ate 2 bowls. What a big eater!
After that, we went to the Lychee Plantation to buy Lychee.
The lychees grow on the trees in such a beautiful manner that one just cannot bear to eat but somehow, we ate a lot of lychees over there.
As usual, Sureemas and her elder sister made some new friends over there and stayed for almost 4 hours for chit chat. The 3 of us also happily take the time to relax.
We had dinner at Sureemas House. The food is normal and I really dun believe Sureemas can cook after trying her food at her house.
I still prefer to eat out!
That last night, I brought Lily to the Boys Bar and she finally get to see what the money boys are. They performed naked show such as showering erotically on stage and even fucking too!
I told Lily, Boy 84 is handsome and good. She also fell in love with Boy 84 but she has no courage to talk to him.
Maybe next time, when she has more money, she will book one of the boys to accompany her in Bangkok or even bring him back to Singapore!
We dragged our feet to the airport on Monday afternon. 2 hours flight and we reached Singapore again!
Looking forward to the next holiday at Bangkok.
Perhaps in October!
Cheers

Facts of Life
It has been more than 2 weeks since I last blogged.
I am really very moody these few days.
I have been very busy. Yes, very busy with the setup of the retail shop at Sunshine Plaza.
Lem has been very helpful. He helped me unconditionally again in all stages of shifting including sitting at the back of the cramped badly ventillated lorry.
Straits Times was very helpful. I managed to get the Hot Spot on Friday the 13th April. I paied aprox $900 for the internal Ad Space and they gave the Hot Spot as a thrown in Package. Perhaps it is really a curse! I only have 7 calls on that day enquiring on our products. It dun really help much. I should say nothing at all.
I was a bit disappointed but thanks to Lem, he encourages me by looking forward and consoling me by saying Business has its Ups and Downs. He is right. I am now in Downs and I should look forward to the climbing up process.
Over the past weekends, his time is almost fully devoted to the shop. His friends came and support him. I dare not ask my relatives nor friends to drop by as I am afraid of failures. I guess I can only throw a party when business picks up officially. I do not know when and dun ask me when...
If I am not so persistent over the setting up of this retail shop, I would not have loaned a big amount through Lem's account. I feel deeply debted to him.
Perhaps I am too stubborn, I only thought of myself. I only want to succeed and ean lots of money but I never exactly think how I should earn and what steps to take.
I regret now but there is no turning back for me now. I can only look foward and continue my journey.
We have come to an agreement if business dun pick up, we will close the shop rather than I sell the Condo. I will keep the Condo.
I do not want Lem to incur any unnecessary losses through my mistake.
If he dun know me, his life will be better I guess.
He will not have to commit so many unnecessary loan.
Hope Buddha bless him and me!
