Goodbye 2012

TODAY WE ALL SAY HELLO TO A BRAND NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!


Did 2012 treat you well?

2012 has been such a great year, I CANNOT ASK FOR A BETTER YEAR! :D

The greatest part of 2012, was adding even more great friends into my list of awesome friends. Friends i know who will stick to me for many many years. True friends who will always be there for me to pick me up when i fall. It's not every year that i add a new friend to that special list but this year i added FOUR. Hehe.

Too much happened in 2012 so feel free to read my previous posts~~~ I don't think i have much sad/angry posts? Hehe. My boyfriend even said "i don't know why you are always happy....it's like you're crazy, in your own little bubble". Which is a good thing right? :D

I wish that in 2013, Ohsofickle.com.sg will grow bigger and better! The OSF Team and i will continue providing great customer service and awesome stuff. I cannot believe i've been running an online store for 5 years++ already. It's getting better and better every year thanks to all of you. :) THANK YOU SO MUCH. BIG BIG LOVE.

LET'S BELIEVE THAT 2013 WILL TREAT ALL OF US WELL AND IT WILL HAPPEN!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, all!



The only occasion i look forward to besides my Birthday is Christmas Day! I love LOVE receiving presents (duh...who doesn't?) but i also love giving presents and making people's day! This is a time to forget all worries and show your love to the people you care for. 

Christmas is not only about presents and material things though, there's an even more important reason to feel blessed on this day because it is a day we Christians celebrate Christ's birth. Not to worry, ain't here to write a lengthy post on Christianity  and why you should believe it, just here to share my views on Christmas. If you don't know, i was not born in a Christian family. When i was younger and when my parents were still together, my family visited the temple weekly. Then came a day, a friend's aunt asked me to go to church with their family. Being the young and curious me, i really wanted to go and my parents were pretty okay with the idea (surprisingly, because most buddhist parents don't approve their child attending a church) cus they believed no religion teaches you bad stuff so i was given the freedom to choose what i want to believe. I am so thankful for that, because i was introduced to something really special and powerful. Someone who has kept me alive and happy till today. Someone who has made me a much kinder and less selfish person. 

My journey is a Christian is FULL of ups and downs, pretty interesting and funny, maybe one day, i will write a post on it! Hehe. I am thankful for having a boyfriend, who was brought up in a Christian family and is a firm believer. I don't think i will never go back to that rocky road again. My faith is stronger than ever. :) So yes, Christmas is such a happy day for me because it's Jesus's birthday and without him, i don't think i would be able to get thru all the hard times.



I wish i can give everyone something but well, that's not possible because i'd be soooo broke. Lol. I am giving a discount code to be used on www.ohsofickle.com.sg though! Use code "OSFLOVESXMAS" at check out for 10% off!

I am also doing a CHRISMAS GIVEAWAY! I will pick 5 presents to give to TO 5 LUCKY READERS~~~

eg. "Merry Christmas @Ohsofickle!!!

YEAH, IT'S SUPER SIMPLE! 

I will choose 5 random girls to give the 5 presents to!

May everyone have a blessed Christmas!

Traditional Thai BBQ (Mookata)

I got introduced to Mookata about a year ago (or longer?) by Christelle and have been in love with it since then.

It is SUPER unhealthy though so even though i like it so much, i try to only have it once a month.


This time we tried a different Mookata Place at Katong (address at the bottom of the post)...
Mookata is Traditional Thai BBQ...

Had a SET FOR 2 and i ordered extra Golden Mushroom, Crab Stick and Quail Eggs. Oh and more we had to order more meat after that because the 2 plates (the larges plates in the middle) are so not enough for 2? Or maybe it's because my boyfriend and i eat much more than usual couples.

This meal costed us $70? Which i feel wasn't worth it as compared to other Mookata places in Singapore. We can eat a lot more at the other restaurants for $70.

The chilli is so-so, not as tasty as the other Mookata place i tried.


So, as you can see, the pot used for Thai Steamboat is different from the pots we use for Chinese Steamboat.

See a white rectangle thingy in the middle? That is pork lard, you put it there so it melts and coats the surface to not only prep for grilling, but also to help flavor the soup that sits on the edges. I think it's super unhealthy lah? But REALLY SO YUMMY~~

I'm not a big fan of chicken on most days, i usually pick Pork and Beef over Chicken ANY TIME. However, when eating mookata, i personally think chicken thigh tastes the best.


You will be given a 2 plates when you order the set for 2, one plate for grilling, the other plate containing ingredients to put in the soup. I really LOVE putting "tang hoon" in the soup at the end of it all. Soup will be full of flavor and soooo yummy (and oily, but who cares.........? YOLO! Haha). I felt that the soup at the Katong one isn't as nice as the Golden Mild one though....soup itself (the refill) was already slightly salty so when u add the ingredients + the oil dripping etc, it becomes too salty to drink.


This restaurant is not as nice as the other Mookata places but still, worth giving it a try if you live in the east and don't want to go too far.

Do give Mookata a try if you haven't. Well you either love it or hate it. I know quite a number of people who hate it cus it's so oily and unhealthy. But i love it a lot lah!!! Haha.

REEBONZ X'MAS SPECIAL

It’s less than a week to Christmas! Have you all bought your gifts yet? If not, Reebonz is throwing a
crazy warehouse clearance at Reebonz SPACE from 20 – 22 December!

If you haven’t heard of Reebonz, you can click HERE to see more

I’m in love with this Prada Saffiano Lux shopping bag, and it’s finally mine since 3 weeks ago! I really
love it, and it’s suits most of my outfits.

Best part is, Reebonz is selling their Prada bags for cheap too at their crazy warehouse sale. They’re also moving their entire warehouse to Reebonz SPACE, which means over 10,000 items replenished daily!I’m not revealing how many colors they have, or how much it’s going to be. So be there, or be square! J

Here’s more bags Reebonz would be featuring at their warehouse sale too!


YSL Chyc Leather and Python clutch, a favorite for me whenever I go for parties, movies or supper.



Goes well with anything black or gold, like my outfits below!

There was a period of time when I really wanted a Bottega handbag too, but I always go ahead with
other bags instead. Maybe I’ll get it at the warehouse sales, maybe? I’m really fickle minded, no?

I’d matched this with mostly any of my outfits, be it for an event, dinner or even shopping. It’s so
comfortable on the shoulders, you’d barely feel anything!


My friend bought her Proenza Schouler PS1 at more than 45% off during Reebonz’s last warehouse
sale! Be there if you don’t want to miss out on the goodies!

Date : 20 – 22 December 2012
Time : 12pm to 8pm daily
Venue : 24 Raffles Place #07-07 Clifford Centre

OSF SALE

Updated!

Apology from the organizers, Inknlight & I.

Hi all,

Thank you all for your genuine and honest feedback. It is our utmost regret that as organizers of the event, it was not managed properly as we did not expect the overwhelming crowd that turned up for the event. We used the previous OSF Clothes Buffet crowd and timings as a rough gauge for this event. But it seems that we had underestimated it this time round.

Greatest apologies to the lack of ventilation for those queuing up on the stairs and the lack of shade for those queuing up under the scorching hot sun. Also, our sincerest apologies to those who have que-ed up for almost 2 hours but yet did not manage to get their hands on any stock.

We understand that firstly, if the crowd is going to be this big the next time round, the venue will definitely be bigger and be better suited to accommodate more people; especially the crowd that are queuing up for their turn.

Secondly, the crowd will be better managed in a way where we will minimize que cutting and the wastage of time queuing when stocks run low.

Thirdly, we will definitely ensure that there will be sufficient stock to clear before holding another similar sale. We could probably post a rough estimate on the pieces of clothes, bags, shoes to be cleared prior to the sale so you girls will know what to expect. But please understand that as much as we would like to cater to everyone, stocks are still limited at the end of the day.

We will continue to take all your comments, suggestions and feedback seriously and handle future sales as best as we can. We will definitely look into how future sales can be handled more effectively and efficiently. We seek your kind understanding and forgiveness for the mistakes and misjudgment made in this event. This is a very valuable lesson learnt for all of us.

Please do continue to support Ohsofickle in her upcoming collections, sales, promotions and events.

Thanks
Inknlight

I cannot feel any more terrible then I feel right now. So the Ohsofickle EOY Sale was a success for me BUT I disappointed too many people today as we didn't have sufficient stocks for everyone. I thought we had! I really should've been more optimistic and expected a bigger crowd.

I was not prepared for such a huge turn up. It was MASSIVE. The amount of people who turned up was so shocking...I've never seen such a huge crowd for any events I've ever participated in.

It's a warehouse sale so we cleared everything that was leftover in 2012. There were a lot of stuff however it still wasn't enough for all this who turned up. So we ended up disappointing those who were behind in the queue.

The event was supposed to start at 11am, however there were people starting to queue since 9am. Which means by the time we opened the doors at 11am, the queue was already super long. By 12pm, the queue filled the whole of Purvis Street and it got longer and longer every minute.

In the office, we allowed 40 to enter at one go and every 15min we allowed a new batch to enter. All the 40 who entered in 15min, most of em walked out with over 6 items. So in 2 hours, most stuff were sold out so we had to announce the bad news to those who were queuing that we have insufficient stuff for them. I felt SO BAD when my staff told me "Really cannot already...no more things". I was panicking. I wish I had a back up plan but I alr brought every single leftover piece and there was no more left. Then came tweets, tweets of disappointment. I was SO sad. I didn't know what to do, in fact there was nothing much I could do already. I seeked advices from ppl, everyone said "Calm down, there's nothing you can do to please everyone. No stocks means no stocks."

So yeah, I know I have hundreds of angry OSF supporters right now and I am SO SO SO SO SO SORRY. I really wish I prepared myself for the massive crowd.

For the next OSF event, I promise all of you that we will manage this better. If u have any suggestions, feel free to share with me how we can make such events run better. We were thinking of doing pre-ticket sales before the event so we can control the crowd better and also releasing the stocks at different timings etc.

For those stuck in the queue under the scorching hot sun, I am very sorry and I hope to seek your understanding. Hope to still see you for the next OSF event. Thank you all for your time and patience! Not forgetting, the support for Ohsofickle. BIG BIG LOOOVE TO Y'ALL!! Don't be mad at me alr okie? I REALLY LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
