sherniece.lj needs a new name

sherniece.lj was meant to be my secret-blog 3 years back.
But it ended up as you-know-what today.

I'm definitely not as successful as LRH, HVV, TE, SR, OSF, BONITO, AS or even LR.
I cope "just fine" selling a few pieces of clothing and earning a bit of income from the apparel updates. Never thought i'll be an e-sales lady. Ever.

I've my pool of royal shoppers, the naughty shoppers and the 4-digit subscribers.
Don't think i wanna own a boutique or start manufacturing my own line. Not serious or committed enough.

I get pissed at dead buyers, putting up with bitchy shoppers and all sorts of crazy girls who just don't credit the photos to me when they want to sell a similar piece not purchased from my website. I get frustrated at sellers who copy my style or designs. I get upset when apparels don't get sold. Its annoying.

On the other hand.

I love shoppers who rave about what i bring in, how much they love the apparels (no matter how trashy the stuffs are), how good my service is and how the money in my posb savings account grows (and ungrows).

There's a lot to be thankful for.

Today's shoot: Liz the model, Amber the stand-in model and Shu the photographer. Three hours + duration. A truck load of apparels.

It was nice watching Liz and Shu work together. And Liz just have this look that's very desirable. I have a lot of personal favourite shots (:

And Amber, thank you so much for helping, else the photo shoot will take forever. You did a good job given the situation..you're new to posing..the people/environment. I would have died of shy-ness if i was 15. Haha.

Tons of variety, shall let the photos speak for itself. He directs well! I'm basically just a props man. Haha.

Whether this collection will be a hit or not, i owe Liz and Shu a good meal. Hope you're reading this (:

Melly -> brazilian!!!!!!! ahhh...i've waited so long for this day. Haha! Beach soon? (:

Caleb -> uncle. you relax, later heart attack. i'll get pingpong lady to blow whistle, wake you up. Hah. Wondergirls dance, i've mastered it. Waiting for you to pay me 700 baht so i can dance for you!! if you want me and my sister to dance for you, its 1440. 40 baht for tippssss!! *eats banana*

lil' sis -> hahahahahahaha!! your comment was hilarious!! oh darn, miss the "ultimate endurance test" in bangkok :( and i cannot find any favourite shots to blog about the trip..pfff!!

Back!

Was nice talking to Faith the moment i'm back in Singapore (:
Hearing her interesting story...i feel happy and excited at the same time for her.

Its like, i don't really hold long conversations on the phone anymore..
Not since the last boyfriend..whom i spent hours in the phone for, everyday.

In relation to phone call, i think as much as i want someone to care for and love, its difficult.
Either because i've locked myself up or that i have no confidence/time.
Or maybe because nobody "right" came along.
Or maybe maybe, nobody likes bad Shanice anymore.

E-shopped on ae.com while chatting with Faith, saw alot of pretty clothes. I added USD172 into the cart, got a shock at the value and signed out.

Back in Singapore after spending 4 warm days in sunny Bangkok with lil' sister and Caleb.
Fruitful trip, eye-opener definitely.

Photos will be up shortly.
Was busy replying 100+ emails and wrapping parcels for PO trip tmr.
Feeling the stress, but i kinda like it.
It gives me satisfaction and sense of self-absorption in work.
Whatever that is suppose to mean.

Friday is the studio shoot.
I dunno if this collection is going to rock or what.
The fashion in Bangkok is all the cotton stuff..and shirts..and flowers..and slouchy tops/dresses..
Need to prepare props, accessories, get the clothings pressed, settle my transport..thinking about it makes me all stressed up..and then i feel like shitting. Haha. I call it the-nervous-shit-feeing.

Ok, will update soon (:

I need to:

1) put my type-case up on the wall
2) settle Amanda's kit
3) @scrapztudio's work
4) victoria secrets spree matters
5) prepare for shoot
6) pack my frikking messy table
7) mail out parcels

Hot yoga-ed with Jindi last week after work.
Was pretty good. Stretching, breathing..sweating out.

Anyways, I will be launching another collection tmr.
Taken 2 months break to cope with the demands at work.

Flying off to Bangkok this Saturday with my lil' sis, Caleb and Kong Sing.
Celebrate the end of KYC II project.
A well-deserved break! (:
Will be meeting Komui there on Sunday for dinner and tiger show. Just found out she'll be there a day before us with Eugenia.

Lotsa errands to run this week.
Change money, sign univantage contract, complete scrapbook orders, refund VS spree, collect my spectacles, collect cert, photoshoot, pack up for trip, mail out parcels. Holy moly.

Been thinking quite a bit.
I think i can be a very selfish and stingy person.
But its all in the hope of sticking to my "plans" for the future.
Building up my career so that i have enough CPF to invest.
I realized that insurances are crap (i'm holding on to 3) and i'm spending most of my income.

Am planning on going to the states, australia and prolly korea later this year if my finances allow.
Which means i really have to work very very hard.

Can't wait for baby Veronica to come home this week (:

A special gift on vday09..

Baby Veronica arrived safely yesterday (:
Both mummy and baby are doing fine.
And i can't wait to have one of my own some day!
Very touching..haha..

Ahh..photos will be up soon.
Been slightly busy.

Lunch wit AVP tmr. Args.

I am what I am

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jasmine's class was a relaxed one (:
Look at those cute lil' cupcakes!

Sweet nothings..

Full Moon

Am researching on where to get a white/grey backdrop.
Clubsnap seems like a good forum!
Ultimately, i'll use my own Canon and "home-made-studio" to take photos of my collection.

And someday, i'll be a proud owner of a store with mini cafe, scrapbooking supplies and apparels. Yay! Continue to dream Shanice (:

But meanwhile at work, its very taxing on my poor eyes to be staring at the computer screen for hours. Lunch with VP tmr. Gasps.

Ruffle things up!

F21 has got some really awesome office-wear (:

Angela -> thats cool! the model issue is bugging me. i have tons of clothing for sale in the upcoming collection. start getting excited! haha. Shu will be helping out and it'll be done in a studio. ROCKING!!! (:

Pesky Pants

Really need to sit down and start filing my income tax Form B.

Spent my day..doing..nothing productive at work.

Jindi treat me to subway breakfast.
Joanne treated me to Japanese lunch.
Old man treated me to subway cookies for high-tea.
Had dinner with Jennifer at Ajisen for dinner.

Eat, sleep, shit loads and grow fat.

Am thinking of changing the name of my livejournal apparels shop to something catchy. Suggestions? And what are your opinions on my potential model as featured above? Ok looking, good or bad? Comments welcomed (:

Day trip to kranji turf city

Cousin Alan came to fetch me & lil' sis over to turf city.
Felt pretty "V.I.P."ish. Haha.
Professional jockey super-star!

Swarmed with males.
Saw a cute butch though. Haha.
Shook hands with the bosses and then said hi to my cousin-in-law who's a trainer there.

Took a walk around the air con and non-air con stables.
Got introduced to a few of the star horses.
Stroked their faces..feels nice (:
They're so pretty and handsome!
Check out those muscles i tell you..i'm in awe!

Thought i'd get the chance to shower the horses, but i think its like "shit-job" for the apprentices there. So we can't.

So these racing horses swim and run on treadmills. And a whole lot of other activities. Very interesting a life. Learnt more about their routine and how horse betting works. Educational trip. 2 hours time-off from work was pretty worth it.
We took turns to ride on Lucky Star because he was one of the tamer horses today. They can get temperamental and kick you if they're unhappy.

Though its just sitting on a walking horse, it was a pretty nervous experience for me. Race horse leh...not some pony or horse at the zoo. Hard time getting up the damn horse. 4 times i think. So embarrassing!! :( My sister took 2 secs and i took nearly 1 minute. Super lousy!

A pity it was drizzling, else i wanna try trotting on him.
By the way, standing beside my cousin and the other apprentices was super shameful. They weigh about the same as me but yet i look like a fat buffalo beside them.

He treated us to dinner Marche@vivocity.
Guilty eating so much.
The week before my Bangkok trip, i'm gonna go on a strict diet and exercise scheme.

Shanice is going to try loose some unhealthy weight in 2 weeks time.
Oh yes.

Happy birthday, lil' sis!

Work's quite a bore these days.
Project's coming to an end.

Yesterday, i conducted some training for the bank associates.
Today, i shopped at bankofamericastore.com.
Tomorrow, i'll be taking time off to go horse-riding with lil' sis at Kranji in the late afternoon.
My cousin who's a professional jockey will be introducing us to the sport.

Wanted a million and one things on VS. But after placing 5 batches of order (sgspree.livejournal.com), i was over-worked to be able to shop in peace. Got a sweater in the end.

I cannot wait for Bangkok trip on the 21st.
Take me away.

Kim -> what trend! tsk. ok, i'll sell my silver set for $200. Let me know if your friend is interested ya

Sa'edah -> how was convocation dear?? hee..hope you're doing great! Pam tried to ask me out but timings dont seem attractive :(
