september already????

i need sleep. to say august (and september too i'm sure) has been crazy is such an understatement. all that you all knew of or saw was just a fraction of the crazy busy-ness.. i can't imagine what would have happened if i hadn't hire help in time. ok, granted, i'd just have no life at all and be working round the clock, and be very sad. so, thank you all, my new littleoddforest assistants!! thank you helping me have a life!! ha!

so, if you're in singapore, did you miss this? ;)

you still have 8 more days to go shop!
i have been busy restocking there almost every day, and the OOAKs specially made for this event are almost all sold out. some of you sweet lof customers have been super cute! going up to my lof sales gals saying, "hi! where are all the OOAK bags?" hahaha!!! i love it!!

please be sure to not be shy and ask our friendly helpful lof sales gals, wendy and maya, any questions you may have about the bags - due to space limitations, there are some kept in the storeroom, so feel free to ask them to show you if you couldn't what you wanted. i will most likely be hanging around there more this weekend.

and our dearest international shoppers! many items in the shoppe are sold out now, but fret not! i'm busy taking photographs of new items and will try to list them before the special once-in-a-blue-moon free shipping thingie ends this sunday!

and! if your customer emails haven't been replied to yet, please forgive us and give us an extra day or so to get to your emails! my new customer service rep, yvette, and a new intern, bianca, are trying their best, so thank you all for your kind patience!

and gosh. a big shouty thank-you to b and my super posse for the little surprise party at prive! i LOVE it. thanks for having the party at one of my favorite places here in singapore. and i love all my pressies :DDD thank you guys! {{{ group hugs!!! }}} and not forgetting the surprise presents i've been receiving at the door since early-august (???) from lovely littleoddforest regulars!!! very kiasu!!! (meaning scared to lose out, in a chinese dialect) hahahah!!! omg. you all totally shouldn't have, but i'm gracious enough to accept your awesome generosity of course :) i think i should have a customer-of-the-year award next yr.. you think? lol
and it's a strange year also because i haven't received flowers at all for the past couple of years, and then suddenly, in 2008, it's a flowers-giving year? since the beginning of this year until now, i've received like 9 bouquets! (and only 2 are from b!) lol. i don't know about you, but 9 is plenty for me.

and and and... i've been putting my newly appointed "secretary" to good hard work! (if you ever spy on my flickr photos). i'm glad you got the hint when i said that i don't have the slightest desire to have the silly iphone, because every tom dick harry lucy and sally on the street has it. (as with a few other mass-ly "accessible" mac products in recent years...) ha. i really have to emphasize this. i was waiting in line for my coffee the other day, and this kiddo (like yeah, a 16 yrs old teen?) was tapping away on her gizmo, and lo and behold, this uncle (ah-pek more like it) was at the corner tapping away on his. gahhh.... sorry. i can't help but be snotty like this. no offense taken from anyone of you reading yah, nothing personal ;p

and for littleoddforest, other than everything else you saw or know of already, one of the many lovely things i did to celebrate forestprints design's 4th birthday is to make new ribbons! and i've to thank aisah for this! ;)



sorry, and thanks for bearing with me through this post... the lack of sleep and stress in work planning is not so good. i have another 2 business trips coming up and because this is the year-end busy period, i'm still not sure how this is all going to work out... blahhhhhh.....

P.S!
if you aren't able to view the newsletters we've sent out recently, most likely you're using a gmail account, and the imbedded jpeg images are not loading for you. so... until i find a solution for this, please check in on our website and this blog at least once a week! :)

it took me more than 1 hr to type this post (so much longer than my usual 15-20 minutes).... text messages... phone calls... okay! going off to pack restock items for isetan! ciao, cute folks!!
xoxo~
