My initial plan was to focus on the store once I graduate, laze around, shake my legs until I'm fully rested to go back into the industry. (Partly also because I wasn't confident enough of my work and didn't think that any opportunities will be presented to me.)
But life is like this, isn't it? Everything is just unexpected. Some shit happened but there will always be something good to remind you that life isn't all about falling in holes and taking a shitload of time to get back up to see the light again.
Yes, I'm taking this opportunity! For sure! Don't know how it'll work out in the long run, and how I have to juggle between the shop and a job and all the personal relationships. I've done it before, and I'm doing it again. And be better at that.
So I guess preorders will be once again, a monthly or bimonthly thing. But I'll never give up on my baby. Thinking back, it's my... 7th year of managing the store already. To be honest I don't have such big dreams of having a brick and mortar store or whatnot, or expanding SUPER BIG. (yeah we don't really do ads, ha ha) It's just something I love doing and is part of my life now. Hmm.....
I do hope to move to a shopping cart site soon though. We'll see! ;)

HO HO HO
In the past I used to say.. I'll do a thrift preorder. Means items within $20 price range!
However..............After getting the item for myself (To see if the material/cutting pass), I decided not to do it anymore.
Yes it's the same design as our item which was $30, but the material and cutting was HORRIBLE. booo. well, that's why a $10 pu leather skirt is very different from a $30 pu leather skirt. you know?

Boom boom ~
YAYYYY!!
Super happy.. Been working hard, day & night the past week editing pictures and finally launched P#50!
247 new arrivals check it out yaw~
HTTP://WELUVMEOW.COM
(Actually there's supposed to be more items but it's a new supplier, so i'm wary of the quality and accuracy of designs.. so i'll buy them for myself first. if satisfactory i'll upload them later on!)
x
Actually.. If you have tried to logon to our site the past few weeks, you may have realised you got directed to a folder/email host/wordpress and stuff like that.. Well we were trying to change hosts and upgrade to a shopping site. However it was terrible~ The move wasn't successful because of proxy and stuff.. Well guess we have to wait for end of the year to upgrade to a shopping site!! Please bear with us!
Things are really getting crazy. As i was working through the pictures, I really have to give myself a pat on the back.. I was thinking..... If I upload so many items...... People will like a not? Will response be good and better since there's so many items?!?! I hope so!! hahah. Please do not wait to purchase ok! Things get OOS fast. A common myth is preorder shop stocks last forever!! That's not true ok.. BUY FIRST OR REGRET WHEN YOU SEE THAT GIRL IN THAT ITEM! The feeling sucks haha, because you could have been the owner!
Okay that's all for now. Time to work on our new look!
Been facing the computer for too long, am having a headache now.. So, goodnight girls! :D
Tomorrow I have a talk to attend (yay..) so replies will be late!

REQUEST REQUEST!
One thing we had regularly (or so, I think) when we were still on the livejournal platform was this: I'll randomly email you girls to let us know what items you are looking out for, and we'll search for 'em. If we find them............ YES< they will be up for preorder!!! \m/
SO, YES WE ARE BRINGING THAT BACK.
More info on that here: http://weluvmeow.livejournal.com/18318.html
Well, you can email us anytime with your requests! :}
P/S: Our next launch of new arrivals will be end of Feb/early march. Yes.. Long way to go, but by that time factories would have resumed work = new styles!!! Who knows, maybe we'll even have 200 new arrivals. HAHAH. & we'll be launching a couple of new things too.. STAY CLOSE, WILL YOU?
Xx, J

Stresss
The most dreaded thing happened again.. Which is delay in shipment. usually items reach me within 1 day after it has shipped out but here & then, it takes longer. whenever this happens, i get damn stress HAHAH so I'm writing here.. I know I said I'll post real life pix here, I'll do so very soon!!
To destress, I went to browse through our old site.. weluvmeow.livejournal.com (anybody seen us grow from back then?) previously we sold a lot of street style products. should bring more of that back.. and man i sure miss the livejournal community! haha. i nearly forgot there were so many comments, and people reading my random entries here and then between preorder entries. (lol, and my shitty collage skills back then. galaxy backgrounds.. HAHHA) Miss the replying back and forth and somehow it seemed friendlier.. I wish I can retain that on our domain. Maybe should just reopen the livejournal or have a commenting section.
Wow it's already 4.30AM.. My thoughts are in a mess. Don't really know what i'm typing up there. I should sleep. Goodnight whoever's here :-)

FIRST POST
Hello! me again! 2 entries in a night, because hey a new space!
very soon we will update this little home with pictures.. random things, stock pictures and what not.
Just thought that since we have started this blog, I should provide a little info as to who I am!
(Pls note: weluvmeow is single handedly managed by me, J. But very often, my boyfriend / family come in to help me pack, meet customers up, head to the post office for me.. So i tend to say "WE".)
Sooo.. here goes!
About me / weluvmeow:
I'm a girl. 19 this year.. in my final year of school, pursuing a diploma in graphic design. (that's partly why our preorders are up in such a long interval.. if I can't find nice pictures, I will try very hard to fix the image or source for another. I also don't upload items if I find their quality to be "not there". If I can't find a nice image, I will just not include the item!)
I started dabbling in this online business in 2008 (or was it '07, I can't remember) under another name. I then moved on to livejournal, and "weluvmeow" was born! I was 14 back then, so the name "weluvmeow". When mentioning about it nowadays, sometimes I get very paiseh because.. eh. love spell as luv somemore. how to say?! Since the very start, I was bringing items from overseas and managing preorders. But I wasn't very consistent.. I will pop up with a preorder a few month or so, because back then it was soo troublesome. I didn't have paypal nor an ATM card, so I went around meeting customers at MRT stations to collect payment personally. (HAHAH can you imagine??? or remember me from back then?)
At the start I was really a veggie bird.. (菜鸟). I didn't know this or that. I didn't even know how to do postage. I read through the whole post office website HAHA. I was trying hard not to disappoint anyone and went through so much mistakes and systems, to what we have today. I was so happy running the business that I was still doing it during my O levels!! (Anyone remember our denim x jacket?)
Slowly but surely it became my life. I stopped doing preorders again when I got myself a part time job. But it felt so weird?!?! When I go home and have little emails to reply.. Customers commenting/asking "when is the next preorder?".. So even though I have a job where i have to wake up at 10am and sleep at 1am, I continued doing preorders again. Then slowly.. fixed preorders monthly! :)
I'm sure over these years of business I have offended/disappointed a few. I get super stressed everytime new stocks arrive and during my submissions, but nice comments from customers kept me going. (Also when new shops pop up.. But heyyyyy weluvmeow is my baby, not gon giveup)
During FYP still having preorders?! That's me. Haha. So pardon me if I take a few days to reply emails..!!!
Thank you for forgiving/sticking/staying with WELUVMEOW.. We're really grateful for your support & understanding! But despite having this shop for so long, I find it hard to admit that I'm the owner or even say my name. It's not a disgrace or anything, but I just find it hard to say.. 99% of my friends don't know I own this :|
Does this.. pull the distance between you and us closer? I hope it did, even if just a little bit.
Love,
J
