Suddenly feeling abit low.. been declaring and speaking and believing but nothing seems to be fantastically happening.. can I just say that the people around are blessed except me..
And it gets very frustrating when I hear their testimonies.. in fact it doesn't give me any hope at all..
I'm quite tired of this speaking thing, fighting off the devil.. so I'm told to do.. where is Jesus is all this? Can the big brother please stand up?!
It's just so overwhelming I can't even see my future.
Everything is about the Word I'm always told.. Jesus is a gentlemen and He will not force you they tell me.. I have to ask Him to come.. Spend time in the Word they would always say.. this year is coming to and end and I have not yet really seen my abundance yet.. my credit card bills keep amounting and the sales the come in don't even cover a fraction of it..
Suddenly my old life style didn't seem that bad anymore.. my friends from work have not been contacting me..now the people I hang out with is my bf and his friends who only happen to be just church goers..
What did I pray for exactly? I have no idea

NAZA Final Wedding Photoshoot Taipei Review
I just came back this week from Taipei. Landed in Singapore on Tuesday evening. Was there the previous week. Whole trip was 8 days 7 nights.
We arrived a day earlier before our scheduled appointment with the NAZA coordinator. Checked into Neijiang Hotel as recommended by the NAZA staff to book. It was a comfortable stay, clean hotel with basic toiletries. Rooms are quite spacious considering that budget hotels in Taipei rooms are relatively small. Convenient location, 3 mins walk to NAZA shop, 5 mins to Ximen MRT. Freego bus stops just outside the hotel from the airport. Round trip is NT$260 per pax. Alot of food stalls in Ximending area and convenience store just around the corner. You won't go hungry for sure.
Costs of Hotel room
Week days NT$1380 - after NAZA discount rate
Weekends NT$1580 - Friday is also a weekend
Comes with daily packed sandwich and packet juice for breakfast. Not too bad
Second Day went to NAZA shop, basically they own the whole shop-house with 5 levels. Our coordinator was not around that day so another assistant helped me with the selection of gowns. Because our shoot is mostly outdoors, the gowns for selection to bring out of the shop are very limited. I didn't really enjoy the selection processed as the gowns look really ugly and old and worn out. They keep all the nice gowns upstairs and you have to pay extra for wearing them. So out of the little selection I had to pick out 5 gowns, one white, 4 evening gowns.
I negotiated with them as I didn't like their selection and asked if they had other white gowns to had a mermaid tail. They did have something like that in my size. However after she made me try it, I was told to offer a price for wearing it for the photoshoot day if I wanted it. I didn't what to offer for it as the material for this gown is only soso but much better looking than the rest. She quoted a price to me at NT$6000! I really felt it ridiculous and decided to choose something else. Then the staff said how about I half the price for you to NT$3000. At that moment I felt there was something fishy about this staff, how can the price be halved in just 5mins??? So I still insisted on looking for something else, not wanting to pay for it. As I can easily buy a gown online and get it altered for the same price and similar material. In the end, she offered to let me wear it for free!!!
There was a second assistant though who was helping me to dress up and try the gowns, I can't remember her name but she's new and very helpful, not as scheming as her colleague who seems to have worked there for some time already.
Final selection was
1 white gown - indoor shoot - this was the one I initially had to pay for using it
1 white gown - outdoor
3 evening gown - outdoor
1 casual outfit - I brought myself
After the long selection process which took me almost 3 hours. We had to rush to C.K.S Memorial Hall where we had to go to this Men's Tailoring Shop called GEM to pick out the grooms tuxedo.From this place, they have a small selection of grooms tuxedo, 5 to choose from. There's the usual Black Suit, White Suit, a better looking Black Suit and a better looking White Suit and a Gray suit. If I can remember correctly.
Absolutely not much selection for guys. If you want to upgrade your suit, it's min NT$1500 and it's only an extra vest for the suit and a better material tie. Really a rip off place in my own personal view. The gray suit they offered included in the package was really ugly. We decided to take the better looking gray suit, however the upgrade was NT$5000! faintsss.. but because we were pressed for time as we still had to return to NAZA to discuss with the Makeup artist on the style for the bride and the locations for the shoot with the photographer, we hurriedly agreed to the payment. Taiwanese really good at upselling to you. I didn't really enjoy this part
In our package we have
2 Free Use of groom tuxedo
After rushing back to NAZA and having a super fast and quick dinner, we had a short discussion with the Makeup artist and the photographer. These 2 people are the most crucial to the wedding photoshoot. I give them 2 thumbs up for their excellent service and professionalism. This part of the wedding photo package I was willing to pay for. We went back to rest that evening and had to be at the shop by 7.30am the next morning.

eBay's Selling Manager Tool
I absolutely love this function...! It gets TWO Thumbs up from me! in FB it would get a LIKE from me!
I tried using the turbolister from ebay before, it's simple to use if you have to use it offline. But I personally prefer using eBay's web interface to upload my inventory instead. It's easier to include my photobucket pics to display enlarged pics in my listing.
I tried signing up for an eBay store as well, paid S$5.00 for the subscription. Didn't really work out well, because if I were to list in another eBay site, it probably will not display my listing in my eBay store because it's a Singapore eBay store. Eg if I list in eBay AU site, it won't show up in my SG eBay store. Abit upsetting at first. As I wanted to avoid having to keep relisting and keep updating the info. Just wanted to do it once and have it automated. In the end, I cancelled my eBay store subscription after a couple of months and just kept my Selling Manager Tool instead.
The Selling Manager tool is FREE! yes likes this alot! All I have to do is just Assign Automation Rules to relist every time the auction ends and until it gets sold. So simple. Selling Manager Pro does have some extra features which are pretty cool but you have to pay $6.50 for the monthly subscription. Good thing about eBay is that they charge monthly and anytime you wish to cancel it just unsubscribe.
Hope this helps fellow ebayers or fellow entrepreneurs who want to start selling on eBay. I learnt it the hard way by trial and error. So I guess for me this is one of the best solutions yet.
Cheers!

Taipei Wedding Shoot
We are leaving for our wedding shoot at Taipei this coming Tuesday. The weather seems to have turned out pretty good for us since I last checked the weather forecast for Oct. It's autumn now in Taipei.
The pictures will turn out great I believe, and we will have an awesome memorable time together.Haven't decided on which locations to check out yet but will do a detailed write up for the places that we will visit. How nice to bring along an iPad if we have one. Believing for one and should materialize soon!
Can't wait to post up the pics taken!
