our heavyweight winner! December 18, 2006

After a long evening of trying to get all the weights of the products right and keyed into all the listings, I’m pleased to announce that Snoofie O (Snoofaloopagus O) emerged the winner of the heavy weight contest!!!! At 4.5kg.




In case you didn’t know, Singapore Post revised their postage rates and we’re taking the opportunity to peg our postal rates according to weight as well where we used to peg it against value of products purchased. Hope this will answer some of our customers’ queries. This will definitely give us less headache and a better projection of shipping rates, both local and international, as our products’ weights vary so greatly.

Keep those comments and feedbacks coming in!

So we were at the Raffles Design Institute graduation at Meritus Mandarin last wednesday to look for Cynthia, who was doing a fashion marketing project for MOOKS Singapore. When she came to us, we said yes immediately cos we love MOOKS! It’s not very known in Singapore but they (used to?) sell them at Blackjack under Club 21. I’m not sure if they still carry that label but Singapore has its own MOOKS store now and MOOKS stuff just ROCKS I tell ya. Cynthia approached us to come up with concepts for MOOKS and boy were we stoked about the idea. We came up with some stuff like bags, postcard sets, notebooks and mini pouches which you can see here:

 

 

and the rest of which will be viewable on our flickr page. Here you can see a photo of Xin and Cynthia with the punk pirate props.


p/s green pirate with dreadies inspired by Marc of www.onemannation.com. You rock, dude! :D

We loaned her the Punk Pirates props at her booth for fun! ShuffleArt also came up with some MOOKS stuff – awesome! We didn’t stick around too long being crowd-phobic. Some shots of the booth:

And to Cynthia: We hope you had a great graduation! Thank you for approaching us and we hope you’ll have a wonderful future in fashion marketing! :D xox.

hearts,

enqi & xin
