arrgghh!

first of all... thanks for all your thoughtful responses. i was a wimp and all i did say was... nothing! i just stopped smiling, did my eyebrow raised look thingie, let off a huge load of hot air, and thank god i got a phone call on my cell just at that very moment... then i just said "sorry i'm busy at the moment, talk to you again when we meet next time" it sounds abit formal and pretentious in english now that i've to translate it, but yeah, it's how you say in mandarin... anyways, he is in the local fashion retail industry, has a number of shops in malls all over singapore, he would be what you call, someone who has "made it' i suppose! bleurgghh...

i've no deep rooted hatred for every single mass produced item, hell, i buy ikea stuff and topshop's plain tanktops like no one's business.. but to make such statements about me not being able to do anything about it if he decides to rip off my designs some day... is just.. ????????? yes...

also, i just have to say that far east plaza is getting to be so annoyingly sad nowadays, i can't seem to avoid small brand design rip-offs whenever i've to drag myself there for some work related shiat... there're even a couple of switchboarders' design which have been copied outright, from label to print design on the tee.. i'm so glad i've decided to stop retailing there, for now at least

on to other bad news... i have officially lost 3 packages i've been expecting - 2 from the united states and 1 from the philippines. a present sent to me from the philippines from my dearest aunt millie, which had arrived in singapore post office safely over the weekend, was actually missing the monday morning they had to deliver to me. i even had to file a police report in order to claim back some monies as compensation. it was so obviously an inside theft job, someone working in singpost looking for an early x'mas present i suppose. fucker!

i had also ordered a plush friend from mypapercrane.com more than 1 freaking month ago and yup, nada!!! aarrgghh!!! heidi was kind and sweet to offer a refund or replacement, i haven't decided yet - it's so hard because she ain't making anymore of the plush friends! SOB! and j was so sweet to send me a whole package of vintage fabric and buttons he has so nicely rummaged for me from chicago thrift stores and it's been 6 fucking weeks!!!!!!! it's not the compensation i want, it's those STUFF i want!!!!! @#$%&!!!!!

now i've made myself to worked up to continue with my brooches bulk order. grreat.
