crap

i've made a freakin' big mistake of replying some emails.... GAWD! i can kill myself right now..

so what do you do when annoymous people just start asking outright for discounts?? at least tell me you're in extreme dire straits and your bag has a hole in it or you need to get a good birthday gift for your sister who's critically ill in the hospital or blah blah blah

and what do you do when people you know just start asking for free stuff and big big big discounts that don't even cover the cost of my materials??? i mean, i do give gifts all the time, but it's really up to me to choose who to give and when to give, isn't it??

how can some people just look at my stock and go "oh! you've so many of those (6 bags of same design but different fabric, which makes them DIFFERENT), give me a few leh.. i like this color and that color in this design. oh i'm sure you can afford to give me a few lah, don't be so stingy lah, you can just sew a few more things to sell what, i'm very poor this month leh, haven't gone for my weekly shopping trip... and i can't sew, but you can! can lah lynda... you're very nice one i know..."

GAWD... PLEASE...

pardon the singapore english (singlish) because that was the way it was said, and to correct it just makes it sound nicer than it should be...

ladies, please... 1 week or even 1 month of no shopping trips WON'T KILL YOU. hurricanes and tsunamis and poverty and stuff like that do!!

i must also learn to not be so easily tempted and enticed... now i'm #$%&*@ broke!! because i failed to get certain details of a business related thingie and be very firm in saying that i'll wait first.. so now that thing better freakin' work out okay and not leave me in big blobs of tears... i'll just have to make sure it works out and wait and see... :(

wat a whole load of rubbish rubbish rubbish...

You must learn to say no. You can not go around trying to please everyone. If that means you are going to loose a couple of "friends", so be it! As a crafter myself i know how hard and time-consuming making stuff can be: i will only give something for free if i choose to.
You are very talented. You are trying to get a living out of what you like to do, but nothing comes easy, i guess. There is much more we will have to go through...

This is one of the main reasons I may never go into business for myself. Its one thing to help out friends, but when strangers are asking you for a hand-out... That just makes me feel angry and sad for you.
