My Daily Says: New Launch!

Finally launched a new collection today and i'm so looking forward to it!

It has been almost two weeks since i last launched a new collection as i was away last week to HK.

Anyway, i wanted to find some time to blog about our new website here.

Changing to .com is one of my main to-do list for TSW last year and due to some unforeseen circumstances, our website can only be up this year after CNY. Glad that we have shifted to our own domain and no longer have to rely on livejournal platform anymore! :D

We have been on livejournal for approx 4 years and becos of this, i still couldn't get used to using a domain platform. haha! I'm trying my best to get used to it for the past few weeks and didn't have much time to do my personal stuff including blogging as i wanted to focus more time on the new website. For the first launch, i'm not confident that the website will not crash or bandwidth exceeded etc, hence i reminded the technical team to ensure that the bandwidth will be sufficient and sending them many reminders to make it a smooth launch on that day.

On the launch day itself, for the first one hour, the website was running smoothly and no bandwidth exceeded, only part is that the website is abit lagging. I was so relieved and happy! Until after one hr later, my nightmare began. Guess what, the server i'm using went malfunction and the whole website couldn't be access till 11.30pm. I'm extremely panic like mad and calling the technical team to find out what happened. The server company i'm using is Vodien (One of the largest hosting company) and they claimed that i'm one of the thousands customers who is experiencing a server malfunction for the first time and they have never encounter such incident before. Other than that, all transactions that happened for the first one hour was gone and couldn't be retrieved back. Can you imagine how furious and lost i was at that moment? I'm so stressed and i dunno what i should do.

Thanks god i have records for those paid transactions but a couple of steps have to be done to retrieve the full information giving me alot of hassle and wasting my time :(

And so Vodien replaced a new server for me and optimised it for me as well and ensure that such incident won't arise again and i hope it won't and NEVER happen to me again. PLEASE!!

So that's how unfortunate of me to experience this on the first launch.

Today is like my 4th launch and i'm glad it went pretty smoothly and i'm so relieved!

Changing to a .com means no invoicing is needed and it saves me so much time and there's no need to do collaging of photos for every design before every launch.

Simply just upload the photos and key in the description and i'm done! YEAH!!

Ohhhh, if you still have yet to sign up an account with us, pls do so cos we have implemented a reward system program especially for regular customers like you to accumulated the points and redeem shopping vouchers from us! :)

Last day of the week and its a brand new week again!

Time really flies and its end of April now.

Spent my Saturday @ My Dream Wedding choosing our pre-wedding shoot photos and guess what, we took 4 whole hours to choose the photos. hahaha

Total there's 182 photos and we reduce it to 108 photos and reject those cannot make it photos.

Our package consists of 40 poses so we still have to reject more photos but some of the photos are really nicely taken and we couldn't bring ourselves to reject it. After viewing the photos for many times, we reduce it to 80 plus and the max 68 photos.

The staff there really know how to encourage us to purchase more photos and i'm trying my best to bargain for the best price that they can give for additional 28 photos. In the end, after much negotiation, we need to top up approx $2k plus for additional 28 photos. DAMN HEARTPAIN! :(

So its like our pre-wedding shoot cost approx $8K?

I think i'm crazyyyyy

I tell myself that its worth it since its once in a lifetime and we travel all the way to Hk to shoot and i won't regret it. Now i can't wait to see the whole album !

Headed down to my bf's relative place for baby shower after that! :D

Baby Caias, such a unique name!

Welcome to the worlddddd
