yay! purple_rouge got its first customer! not bad, considering that it took only 2 days since it became a registered seller. daner and i really put a lot of effort into this business, scouring the streets for materials all over singapore, then trying all ways and means to put the products together. my nails are totally scratched because i used my fingers to pry the wires open, the skin at the top of my fingers are peeling, and there are little dents on my fingertips. daner also sacrificed a lot, she even used her teeth to clamp the wires down! (haha, better not let any potential customers read this)

at first when i first started making the products i was thinking, why spend so much time and effort on something which can only give us a few dollars of profit? it's so much easier to just get that money from my parents. haha, it's true when they say our generation is the one known for instant gratification. but though this may sound cliche, it really does give one a sense of satisfaction after someone buys the stuff you make. not because of the amount of money you get, that's only a meagre sum, but rather because it's truly your hard-earned-sweat-and-blood money. hmm. this sounds like some reflection essay lol.

sigh. meanwhile it'll take a long long time for us to cover our start-up costs. we haven't even earned back our fixed costs yet while our variable costs are increasing as we are buying more materials. i don't even know how long this new-found interest will last. oh well, at least i'm way more proficient in using the pliers and wirecutters now!
