Dionis on the web.

I know I haven’t been blogging ever since I came back from Guangzhou and I am so way behind time for so many many things. It has been crazy and I haven’t slept properly every night since I came back!

Finally things have managed to slow down a little (just a little) and I sneaked back up here to do a little posting to record down my thoughts and what has been happening the past 2 weeks.

Vicki has been following the AWARE saga quite closely while I was away in Hong Kong / Guangzhou then just as I came back to Singapore, they held an EGM that particular night where she was following on Twitter. Someone mentioned that it’s a good idea to put the quips on the tees and voila. The tees were born. She uploaded on cafepress – got a pretty good response and it was only till around 11plus  when she saw me online (I just reached home from Guangzhou like few hours before) and she said, hey why not put it on Printeet.

We worked till 4am to get the stuff online and the rest is history.

I’m still pretty amazed cause things have been moving so fast and furious. We have this running joke between the both of us that she forced Printeet into production. We pretty much were almost done researching our tees but this AWARE event really accelerated the whole process.

shutup and sit down

Some of the greatest things that I’ve learnt is really about speed, efficiency and listening to what the people really want and have to say. I think I’ve finally found a way to work around the family business structure and come up with a viable way to marry technology with brick and mortar type businesses.

Seems like my intention came through… Thank you CLEO magazine

On a side note.. Have been annoyed by the funny requests people have of me. Do I look like I run a money mill?

Far from it.

Some ramblings. Just because my family runs a business doesn’t mean that we are filthy rich. There are a lot of hidden costs – rent, workers pay, cost of goods, utilities, loans and so on that we need to cover… One must always look at the expenses versus the income/turnover. Geez.

How many times did we have to operate on savings and loans because the business was affected by the economy? Pfft.

I am not an ATM! I receive a pay check just like everyone else. I give a portion of my pay to my parents, pay for my own insurance and even pay for my own temp staff from my paycheck. Bah.

And why does TVB keep killing off their characters?! Bah. Made me cry 2 times in a row. This is depressing.

How did this blog entry turn depressive from happy? Ok, enough. By the way I’ve been twittering quite a bit… For more real time updates, check out my twitter feeds. I’ll blog something more substantial the next round.

Trip of decadence. Mexico on train. Met Noel and Cousin. Affluent (like really affluent chinese). Will elaborate on this blog post in a jiff.
