S66 preview! launching tonight, 8PM! i was lazy so i re-used the same layout... :S
tonight's launch consists of 2 exclusively manufactured designs, and i kept both for myself (and so did the models!!) :P
a Boho Embroidered Dress with super pretty embroidery details that reminds me of friendship bands!! lol. in three colors Brick Red, Pure White & Midnight Blue :) :) :) it's free size and will fit UK 6-10 comfortably! and i just have to rave about the material, it's one of our favourite chiffon rayon blend, and also comes with thick inner lining, so it's extremely comfy and totally not sheer, even for Pure White!
totally love the embroidery details!
the other item is the Chiffon Keyhole Top, this top is really simple but elegant and looks extremely good either worn with highwaisted bottoms, or worn tucked out over shorts/jeans + throw in a skinny belt or use the sash that comes with it! i luuurve the keyhole details and the four colors! comes in Electric Blue, Rose, Champagne & Kelly Green! in two sizes S and M, S will fit UK6-8 and M will fit UK10-12 ;)
there's two pearl buttons at the back. so classy and elegant!
i wore a size M in the entry below! mad love :D
anyway... more pictures up on Facebook so you can check out the page here!
S66 will be launched tonight at 8PM! meanwhile, will be trying to clear the backlog of emails, it's really scary :( :( i have an appointment at the hair salon today, so i'm gonna bring my netbook to reply emails and formspring questions while i do my hair lol :P
had a really packed weekend cos of the performance on Sunday,
but it was quite a success! :) i love all my supportive friends who came down! hehe also finally met Candice in person, it's so nice to meet friends/customers IRL :D
Evonne, who bought drinks for us! aww. so sweet always! thank you :D

anyway my hair is really very bright now, a little too bright for my liking! so i'm gonna go and tone down the color a little!
thanks for coming down, babe! :D :D
大合唱!
we also went online Monday night at www.988online.net for an interview session, it's an online radio webstream and it's really cool cos you get to watch and hear us at the same time instead of just listening! will share more in an upcoming entry!
tomorrow we will be singing at Popular Family Extravaganza!
and YZ and i will duet 2 songs,
and sing 2 separate songs as well.
heehee.
we had some fun practicing earlier, and even recorded a video just for kicks! :D

ps. since XYY is in action, TVD is out of action this weekend haha all email replies resume Monday okay!! ._.
secretly changed his wallpaper to a picture collage i made of photos from our Korea trip earlier this year, and bought him a pair of quite nice but still compact computer speakers so that he can watch PPstream with better audio now! :)
i know right, i am like so sweet. i hope he liked it!
we didn't go out to celebrate with a dinner because he said it'd be too crowded :(
but still, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADDY! 我们是爱你的。
this week has been just lots and lots of mailing and parcels and packing and emailing and facing the computer. my life has been sacrificed for the better good of happy girls with pretty clothes!!! :D :D :D but on Sunday (26 June), 想YY will 重出江湖 because we'll be performing under Imagine Music, for the Popular Family Extravaganza at Bras Basah Complex! :)
starts at 1PM, and we'll be singing 2 songs together and another song each apart. do come down and check out the book fair (organised by Popular!) as well as attend the performance!
XYY is not dead yet okay! Evonne made this gorgeous scrapbook college for us! :D so nice right!
anyway, my hamsters are like so freaking cute. i must remember to buy hamster food later cos their food just ran out and they've living on bread and cabbage! -.-
they are little cute balls of fluff. bwahahaha.
brand new drink discovery: Pokka Straight Red Tea! it tastes like bubble milk tea for some strange reason (without the milk and the pearls) and it's really quite good! can go and try it.
so... 想YY's journey in K歌2击队 has finally come to an end! it's been a fun time that's passed by in a flash, and the weird thing is the TV broadcast is so slow it's not even halfway through the competition lol i feel like we're trapped in a time warp on air! (speaking of which, our next episode which is the quarter finals will be broadcast next Tuesday!)
anyways.. we didn't do very well for the finals :( but the one thing that will always have a very dear place in my heart are the lovely supporters who's been rooting for us from start to end, regardless of how shitty we performed or not hehehe because they're friends and family who love us! :) :) :) i must have said this a thousand times, but we're so blessed with such awesome people around us. THANK YOU ALL. i don't feel so much upset for myself than for letting down everyone who took time and effort to come all the way down to stay through a recording that only ended at 2AM, i'm so sorry we didn't do better :( :( :(
and to my dearest partner who's been putting in so much effort from the start to the end of the entire show, we entered this thing with no inkling of how far we could get, but i think it's been a wonderful time for both of us, and to get so far as well as to garner recognition and encouragement from respected musicians as well as our own family and friends, i think we really don't have anything to lament about :) i'm not sure if it's brought us closer or not hehe but there's definitely been emotions running high and low during this period, lol. but we somehow managed to pull through without killing each other during the more difficult times :D as well as shared lots of happy moments together! thank you baby :)
also having made friends with all the other contestants, it was a great journey to have shared together, and i'll definitely miss everyone! especially the finalists and all those crappy dance rehearsals we had. can't wait for that episode to air because i think it's really very funny :D :D hahaha. as well as the other groups who are always so very encouraging and friendly! :) i think all of you are amazing singers with so much potential and talent, regardless of whoever made it far (or not). time for us to zham our Partyworld vouchers! :D
i feel like i'm giving some thank you speech. but also honestly sincerely feel very much indebted to so many people during this show, including my Laoshi, the production crew, the hosts Yi Feng-jie, Li Teng & Wenhai, our very talented friend who accompanied for us on the piano, respected judges and so many more! i'm so thankful for this experience, really :) we will still continue to sing regardless because i really do love singing and music alot :)
haven't edited any of the pictures that i have on my camera and didn't really take all that many anyway, i'd just upload a few i snitched off FB (thank you woon!) and some from my iphone :)
K歌2击队; 谁让你心醉! yeaaaaaaaa i love my retro outfit! plus, the outfits were all Topshop sponsored. what's not to love. full afternoon rehearsals, just for that few minutes on stage.. ehehehe the end of our "dance" segment. SO funny. YZ & I :) did you know, YZ lost like 10KG from the start of the competition til now!!! i'm very happy for him! i didn't lose much weight though. pfft!!!
from a very sweet supporter :) thank you Evonne! :) 想YY到此一游!!!
so now my life is back to emails and parcels and photoshop :(
not complaining, but there are SO SO SO many emails waiting for a reply that i'm feeling pretty stressed out. we just spent yesterday and today packing two batches of backorders and carting them off to singpost, as well as running about for photoshoots for upcoming collections, and trying to settle the new office. new stocks have been arriving non-stop which is both awesome and stressful because we now have a brand new low in the account books and an amazing amount of stocks piled up at our suppliers' waiting to be launched! D: D: D: not to mention that LJ is currently a dysfunctional bitch and i'm not sure what we're gonna do for the next launch :(
will get to the emails first. i'm so so so so so so so sorryyyyyyyy if you havent received a reply since last week. still trying very hard to clear the backlog of emails! we will definitely try to get the inbox cleared by Thursday. JIAYOU JIAYOU!
the semi finals of K歌2击队 Power Duet was held last Wednesday, at Mediacorp!
we spent the entire Tuesday rehearsing and doing sound checks and run throughs to prepare for the long recording session on Wednesday because all 8 teams were to compete together in 2 rounds, which meant 2 episodes of recording back to back. it was really tiring! :(
so.. YES we got through to the finalssssss!!!! :D :D :D :D
but to be honest, it was our shittest performance yet :((( due to a combination of nerves and stress i guess, i don't anticipate those 2 episodes airing cos we weren't at our best at all. but we didnt make any major mistakes and managed to get through to the finals which is really exciting! hope we'll be able to pick ourselves up from the poor performance and do better for the finals. it'll be held in 2 weeks time, on the 2nd April, and we'll need all the supporters we can get!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
a couple of blog readers were really sweet and came down to watch us for the quarter finals and semi finals too, thank you so much for being so supportive!! ^____^ from the bottom of my heart, i really appreciate it!! please introduce yourselves to me next time okay because i had no idea who you were! :(

time to 加油 for the last and final round, and it'll all be over!!! four teams will compete for the 2 top spots in round 1 & 2, while the remaining 2 teams will fight for 1st place in the last round. no regrets regardless win/lose. thank you everyone for all the support and well wishes thus far! it's really been an unforgettable experience haha. we're so blessed to have so many supportive family and friends around us! :)))))
i must say that this competition thingy has been consuming alot of my time and energy though :( i feel so bad that i've been slacking off TVD! haiiii. must buck up. we've actually got a new helper now (who also happens to be my good friend) so she's a great help. wouldn't be able to get through all the daily ops without her! and thank goodness for very accommodating and lovely customers as well.
