this is the first big order we received.. got 40 pieces of shirts.. haha..

it's really a challenge to us.. need to draw so many shirts in such a short time.. haha..

this pic is the customer drew for us.. she want this pic to be drawn on the shirts..

and i took most of the shirts back.. and you can see this big pile of shirts! what a terrible experience.. i drew till 6am in the morning!

but i thank God for pui man.. she stay through the night with me to paint the shirts.. hee.. love her!

This shirt is ordered by one church friend.. she want to have a picture.. this is the shirt time i draw pictures like this.. hee.. kinda scared at first..

i love the effects of this shirt.. but looking back.. i think i can draw better now la of course.. hee..

Here are some of the designs that the customers ordered at that time.. Frankie and Yu Tong are friends. they came and order together de.. hee. they are sweet people..

and the Alex shirt is a very nice lady.. she bought for her husband.. hee.. she is kinda surprised by our service given..

i'm glad that she really liked the shirt.. hee.. and she told me that time that our service is better than what she expected.. cause we delievered the shirt to her house..

During Christmas last year.. we brought in MeiJi into the shop.. hee.. it's something new to the tenants around there.. they are surprised that we actually sell snacks in an apparel shop.. hee.. here is the picture that i took with michelle.. hee.. the contract that we have with Meiji.. by the way.. michelle is my classmate too.. her group is selling Meiji products..

and it's Christmas.. of course our decorations of the store must include some Christmas feel.. hee.. Adeline bought some deco.. and we put up everything to be like the pic you see below.. hee.. i like the blue and white combination.. and the mannequin also have new clothes to wear.. nice rite?? i like the crown.. didn't have a chance to own one shirt like that.. selling like hot cakes..

this is some of the designs that i have drawn at the starting of e business operation.. hee..

and the picture below shows another pic of the shop during christmas season.. as you can see we really brought in alot of stuff to fill up the store..hee..

but still not enough.. still need to do somemore. the mannequin is given to us free actually.. shh.. don't tell anybody.. it's supposed to be a full body mannequin, but the lower part spoiled.. and we make used for the upperpart of e body.. and the mannequin does not have hair... so we take some belt or scarf to wrap around her head.. hee..

besides apparels, we also bring in bags.. it's consignment de.. so i just leave it there.. main thing is to fill up the shop.. hee..

here's one of the creation.. making a shirt for jacky..

i don't have e final product pic.. hee.. so sad.. only have the in-process ones..

sorry ar.. wrong information... all these pic is taken during the first day of our operation.. this one is really very empty.. hee..

as you can see all the selves are not packed with shirts at all..

and we took some plain tee shirts to fill the emptiness of the store.. looking back.. it's really pathetic.. did you see this pic?? there is a blue colour object on the right? guess what?? is our changing room!!

we don't have money and time to go look for a decent cloth as a changing room.. so we just use the retail student's left overs.. hee.. that one is actually those toilet curtains.. cool rite??

this is how the shop interior look like when we just started our biz at nov 05.. we concentrade more on the ready made apparels.. cause we know that customised apparels need sometime to establish the customer base.. hee.. looking back.. the shop really feel so empty.. hee... seriously.. hee.. so different from the shop now..

here is the pic of the shop's sign board.. i don't really like the sign board.. to be honest.. hee..

cause not even a single one managed to pronounce it correctly..

Before starting the business.. i know nothing about drawing on shirts... i always thought that my strength is in pencil shading.. not in painting.. hee.. i need to come up with some designs as sample so that the customers could take a look at the shop.. hee.. need to create something from nothing is really difficult.. many trails and errors are needed..
but the experience is totally awesome..

this is my first real business.. starting the shop at bugis during Nov 05.. hee.. the red coloured one is a pic we took at somewhere.. that pic gave me inspiration to draw my end product.. which is the other two pics.. feeling good.. cause people accepted your biz idea.. hee.. so fun to start a shop.. i know many days will be ahead of me still.. hee..

wee.. finally i'm starting a special blog..

here will be a place where all (erm.. almost all) of my little drawings and creations will be honoured.. hee..
