MMTP at The Fashion Uprising
Monday, July 23, 2012 || 10:25 AM


I'm so glad the event at Zouk yesterday was quite a success. Kudos to the CKL team who helped to facilitate everything. Preparing for flea markets and such events are so exhausting, but immensely rewarding when we get great turnout like yesterday! We got to meet quite a few of our online customers and put faces to some names (I hope I managed to say hi to most of you, sorry if we seemed like we were in a fluster!). I'm actually still aching all over from standing for more than 10 hours straight, and moving the unbelievable amount of stocks, hangers, etc. 





 boho weaved clutch & studded reptile clutch - both designs sold out by the end of the night. We're going to restock this for the Suntec event this weekend!






Unfortunately didn't manage to catch many photos of the fashion show :( Sipei was walking through Zouk, showcasing our latest floral embroidery cut-out throwover and basic tube skater dress.



my crazy Fathopes






 Our favourite (and of course, only) partner came down to support us with Tintin & John! :*) 


A special shoutout to our customer and ex Vainpot pixie - Amanda who specially brought us pastries from Bread Society :D & also Sam who got us lemon meringue cupcakes (which melted again :P)

Can't believe there's one more round this weekend, on both Saturday & Sunday. It's been one crazy July! If you missed out on our sale at Zouk yesterday, do come down to Suntec Convention Center Level 4, 28th/29th July! :) We'll put up more details on the event soon.

of an exciting/busy July; Chic Kiss Love & The Fashion Showcase. (blog post by Matt)
Thursday, July 12, 2012 || 12:10 PM

this month is exciting for us here at MMTP, but also really crazily busy!
just this July alone, we are participating in two pretty large scale events! we are ecstatic to be part of both, and i really hope both goes really well (for us, especially! haha).


THE FASHION UPRISING @ ZOUK

the first upcoming event is The Fashion Uprising organised by chic kiss love, and it's coming up next Sunday (22 July) at Zouk. MMTP will be having a counter/booth space at Phuture!



not only will there be a runway show (where our lovely Sipei will be wearing our latest designs and strutting down the supposedly longest runway in singapore), our booth will have fitting rooms (3 fitting rooms just for MMTP customers who come down to shop that day) so that you can try the clothes you fancy! yes, you will not only get to see/feel our clothes, you can try them before making a decision whether or not to buy! and you will love the prices of the clothes (both new designs, and old) we will bring for this special event - rest assured we won't be marking up the prices to cover our rent or anything!

sounds really good? mark your calendars and visit our booth at Phuture next Sunday! :D we would love to meet all of you, our lovely loyal customers. we would not be where we are now if not for you, and we are really grateful. say hi if you do drop by!


P.S.: we will be giving out VIP passes for the event in our next collection! these passes will entitle you to an exclusive preview before doors are opened to the public, a free drink at Zouk on the day of event, Zouk passes, and sponsored products!
stay tuned to find out how you can get hold of these passes!




THE FASHION SHOWCASE @ SUNTEC CONVENTION & EXHIBITION CENTRE

and yes, MMTP will also be taking part in the fashion showcase organised by ST Online Classifieds at suntec on the following saturday and sunday (28 & 29 July). we will have an entire counter to ourselves and we have specially arranged for a rack to be built in specially for our booth!

do also drop by for this wonderful event to shop, or just to say hi! again, we won't be marking up our prices, so you can expect awesome clothes at awesome prices at our booth!




the exhibitor passes for us and our minions, Michelle and her friend!

a visit to the zoo! (blog post by Matt)
Thursday, July 5, 2012 || 3:37 AM


so, the law friends and i went to the zoo on tuesday! even though it was raining/drizzling for almost 3h, it was still realllly fun! the zoo is a good/fun place to go even for adults!
(private note to zoo: if you see this, i'm doing a free advertorial for you! want to give me a free pass?)


PS: if you intend to go to the zoo, please apply for ntuc card first! 30% discount for ntuc cardholders - that means only $14 from $20!
thank god i have the ntuc card! don't ask me how i got it, they just sent it to me! (everyone must be thinking i'm damn kiasu/uncle now that i have a ntuc card....)


quite a pretty sight! the lake!


the cute friends!


the awesome clara volunteered to throw the frisbee to the sea lion! on her first try, she aimed at the sea lion but the frisbee landed back at audience area! and all of us watching her were sooo busy snapping photos!








it started drizzling and so we decided to go for lunch, and it started pouringgggg like crazzzyyy.
we ended up stuck at kfc for 2h!


but because we got stuck at kfc, we got a chance to surprise cheryl with a mini cake! happy birthday my dear friend!


with the friends again, under the fake penis-nose monkeys! the monkeys are cute - they have weird noses and they naturally look pregnant (even the males)!


a nice pic (in my opinion) i took of the friends when they were walking! jeremy looks super buff here!



and that's clara and jeremy with a butterfly on their shoulders! the butterflies love jeremy so much, they keep getting onto him! clara got implicated cos she was standing nearby.


anyway i think i might have said some insensitive stuff to my dear friends at the zoo, which i really feel very sad/bad about! i said something along the line of us always going to eat but nothing we ate have been really awesome. thinking back, it sounds soooo rude and ungrateful and mean! sorry guys, that's not what i really mean! was trying to be funny and half joking (not funny, i know), and just at that moment couldn't think of anything that we have eaten together that's super nice + cheap! please know i love your company, and would only hope for more food trails with you guys - please don't not invite me for nice dinners/meals in futures :( anyway i would give up good food for your company any time, trust me on that. forgive my stupid mouth/brain, please!

life of a blogshop owner + awesome ear candy! (blog post by Matt)
Sunday, July 1, 2012 || 12:54 PM

LIFE OF A BLOGSHOP OWNER
every day is a working day for me. the reason why i feel like my holidays hasn't really started (when two months have already flew past so damn freaking fast since the start of the holidays!) is cos i'm still working day and night almost every single day! yes, seriously, not kidding. i have been replying emails every day - sometimes i will reply using my iPhone even when i'm playing mahjong! but as the saying goes, hard work pays, and that's what i'm banging on.

so many people have asked, what is an average day of a blogshop owner like? and i have been recycling my answers hundreds of times.
here's what i do every week:

1) choose stocks (not manufactured by MMTP) - twice or thrice a week, 3-4hours each time!
2) design new MMTP clothes - no specific day or time, but forever looking out for inspirations! we are already planning for our year end and CNY 2013 designs!
3) meet up with manufacturers to discuss MMTP's new designs
4) photoshoot for new collection launch - 3-4 hours each shoot (not including the pre-shoot preparation which includes ironing of clothes, planning the matching of clothes etc)
5) photo processing/editing - 8-15 hours depending on lighting conditions of the place of photoshoot and number of designs we are launching
6) prepare collection post (including posting preview on fb)
7) reply emails - 4-10 hours each day (yes, even on school days, which is why i don't really get to study at all! always just feel like sleeping after clearing emails each day!)
8) pack parcels - rough estimate of 20 hours each week is spent packing parcels and going to the post office to register parcels!
9) tag clothes for kissjane - once or twice a week, 4 hours each time (not including choosing of stocks for KJ)
10) tag clothes for vainpot - twice or thrice a month, 6 hours each time (not including choosing of stocks)

yup. and if you do some math, you will realise that the bulk of my awake hours goes to work! and i didn't even mention the other stuff we do, like doing accounts and stock check for our online store and for vainpot, meeting up with people for sponsorship matters/events and marketing plans for mmtp and vainpot.
and this is why, sometimes i wonder how i still manage to find time to play mahjong and go out and stuff! hmm, actually i think i'm not really a going-out person, or have become less so, since we started doing mmtp, cos i'm so occupied with work that even if i do go out, the uncleared workload will still haunt me somehow. that's me, i guess, forever pressuring myself to do what i can and to do my best for mmtp, since i have decided to do it. and i also wonder how i manage to survive semester after semester in school without studying much, even though law school can be SOOOO demanding (the readings each week can really be quite a bitch - like a few hundred pages EVERY WEEK). every time i get my results, i will thank the god/s for their grace and blessings, for allowing me to pass all the exams even with minimal effort. i just really hope i can survive and if possible, do well, for my final year in law school starting in august - i'm soooooo freaking scared i can't manage but i'm praying for the best. wish me luck.

sigh, as i type, i feel a little sad, cos i sound like my life is just all about work. or rather, i have no life at all. i should really learn to relax and give myself a break - probably start with just having one day each week for myself to relax and not touch mmtp/vainpot at all. i have been wanting to do this for the longest time, but i haven't been able to bring myself to do so! cos there's always SO MUCH WORK, never ending. BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING. i really hope the mmtp workload increases so much cos we get more and more famous and one day we can hire a lot of people to do the work we are handling on our own now. i love mmtp and vainpot so much, i really hope we continue to improve and grow! HUAT AH!!!!
P.S.: i guess the same reason that "there's always so much work, never ending" could also be the reason for me to give myself a good break each week. i know, but i don't know.


MMTP'S LATEST LAUNCH
ANYWAY, mmtp has launched it's latest collection! once again, everything is super chio. go see it to believe it.

we spent a lot of time handpicking all the designs (and designing the MMTP-label shirt tunic), and i really hope all of you will like it as much as we do.
here are some of my favorites:

love this dress! classic flattering cutting, with gorgeous cutout details at the hem!


the basic white bandage top that can match almost every single bottom. we are selling it in black and coral too, even though we don't have photos for the two colours as yet! this top is a MUST-GET. every girl must definitely own this top in at least one colour, it's a staple for your wardrobe and you will definitely get to wear it so often - your money will be totally well spent! serene kept all 3 colours, and my sister bought all 3 too!
and yes, we are selling that pretty black pleated skirt! damn good quality and super luxe prints, i tell you.


another must-get piece that's certainly worth your buck! a reversible dress - you can wear it inside out too (beige)! the material is super comfy and the quality is really good for this piece too!
and it fits uk6-14 - looks really nice on serene who's a uk6-8 and fits my mum who is a uk14 well too (she loves it to bits!).


mmtp's black shirt tunic matched with the white floral paperbag skirt - both are of awesome quality and you will love the material for both, i promise!


EAR CANDY

finally, i want to share a song by jason mraz that i have been addicted to recently. it's super nice - i have been playing it on repeat for a few weeks already! enjoy!
