About Me

Profile

okay, so i bet you are wondering who is it behind this mega incredible blogshop . the webmistress is a 51 year old grumpy lady who is too lazy to go out and find a proper 9-5 job, hence resulting in the existence of this incredibly cool blogshop . she is currently living with two dogs and a hamster named Toby . before you start pitying her over her bachelorette old maid status, well, maybe you should buy more from her. you know... so that she doesnt need to be sent to a retirement home by the time she's 55 . her name is Bridget, because every grumpy old lady needs a grumpy old name .

okay i kid . none of the above is true . and to hell with creative writing, i'm done referring to myself in a third person's pov . and if your name happens to be Bridget, my apology .

truth is that i am a 15 year old living in kl . my idol? oh that has gotta be tei, eru and brian joo . am i annoying you with the way i am not beginning my sentences with capital letters? if so, that's your problem . i believe that the only things in this world that deserves proper capitalization is my name and Durian Durian (and yours as well...only if you are buying something from me, of course) .

what? that's not what you want to hear? what do you want to know then?

oh, yes, more of Durian Durian and less of me, right?

granted . from the name of my shop, i bet you could tell that i suck at names . guess what? you're wrong . what does topshop and nose sound like to you? not exactly pure genius, if you'd ask me . if you’re selling shoes, at least name it…feet or leg or something right? But then again, names are subjective- look at how big those two brand names have gotten . a name does not justify the quality of goods it has to offer . so if Durian-Durian sounds like a good name to me, alongside with my dedication, i am sure my efforts will pay off one day .

Durian-Durian was launched on 25/12/2008...you know, just because i am kiasu like that loh wtf . i want my anniversary to fall on a public holiday hohoho .

the sole reason to why i wanted to open an online shop is to experience first hand how hard (or easy) it is to earn my own money . besides, I thought it’ll be cool to cater to the needs of the female species to shop- economically . I am a firm believer that good things in life need not come expensive . I am trying my best to keep everything here below rm100 so wish me luck okay! Where else can you find a rm35 dress? HERE ONLY AND NOWHERE ELSE . THERE . I JUST ANSWERED MY QUESTION .

but i have to stress the fact that i am not doing this to put food on my table, therefore i am NOT desperate (if I am the prices wont be so low lor right) . i want the money, i dont need it . this is a hobby, not my rice bowl . so if you think along the lines of 'customer is king cuz they're right at everything' and throw unreasonable tantrums then sorry, i might not layan such nonsense . just because you are buying something from me, it does not warrant you the right to throw shit at my direction- pardon my straightforwardness . i just feel the need for these unwritten rules to be written down in black and white . i just find it necessary to make my stand clear . so that I can say, ‘I told you so!’ in your face lorrrrzzszsz .

that aside, i asure you i AM a very nice person okay! i am a pleasant person to deal with (self proclaimed . or at least i would like to believe so) . of course i am, provided you are . my name? *flips hair*

Sandra Tze .

or at least, through this site that’s the name you are allowed to know me by .

think my site rocks? email me a note of encouragement! i’ll really appreciate it!

think my site sucks? well, email me as well! tell me how can I improve to serve you shopaholics better, I’ll appreciate this a lot as well! the perks? well, i might just mail you some complimentary laxative to flush out all the resentment in your system wtf . haha just kidding !

here’s my email! chipmunkey@ymail.com

Hello world

i've always wondered why is it that online sellers go on and on and on rambling over customers who back out from a purchase last minute . oh no, correction, POTENTIAL customers, if you want to get facts straight . i've never understood such intolerance (or so i thought was the right word to address situations like that) since their blogshops aren't unpopular or anything of that sort . for the longest time, reading fashion-truth daily has been my greatest source of joy WTF .

until it hit me that not all blogshops are capable or lucky enough to maintain a steady stream of viewership . it's not everyday that we owners get to conclude a sale . not everyday is a sunny day . not every update is a complete hit . on luckier days, you get reviewed, but that's that . you can pray all you want for people to click on your link but trust me, i have been hesitant about shopping online before this and i am sure many girls feel the way i feel .

but that's story for another day . you wanna know what angers me? looks like i can now feel the frustration of other sellers wtf . greatest lesson learned .

people who has the decency to reserve and item and then disappear . no emails, no smses, no explanations- no nothing . the people who has the cheeks to request for a prolong period of reservation, citing reasons like 'oh i am broke now but i love your stuff' blablabla, to which i would usually comply by, thinking that they really do want that item . you know what? most sellers would insist that sales be done in accordance to first come first serve basis . i dare not speak on behalf of other sellers but seriously, most of the time it's not about the money .

online shops are to most, small businesses . if brutal honesty is what you'd prefer, online shopping does not guarantee you satisfaction . for that reason alone, many would prefer to go out and shop for themselves because the convenience of online shopping is arguably not worth the risk of disappointment . this makes it hard for online sellers to establish a reputation because most are still skeptical over the concept of shopping in front of their computer monitors . this is totally subjective so i'll let you decide for yourself .

but point is this- business doesn't come by everyday . yes, to me i am still having a very solid stand on my opinions regarding selling clothes as an interest-based investment, but if anything, it's my customers who buy my stuff, tell me they are happy with it that makes me happy . that's why i'm so irritated with people who comes and reserve something and then conveniently pulls a disappearing act .

my humble shop, just like others', has a three day reservation policy . honestly, i dont mind extending it if you are genuinely interested in it because either way, i conclude a sale, no? but what should i do when someone reserves something and disappears? this act of irresponsibility pisses me off so bad . oh so should i sell the item off and let you email me saying 'HOW CAN YOU DO THAT BLA BLA BLA'

there was even one girl who reserved some stuff and then disappeared . when i emailed her to find out if she's still interested, she pleaded for an extension of time since 'she loves the item alot but is broke' . like fine lah right i'll just reserve it . but weeks passed . no news . i emailed her again because i was fed up of waiting . there were others who were interested and she was holding up MY time . that was when i realized that i should stop being nice because fuck this shit, nobody seems to appreciate it eh?

and guess what? she conveniently asked me for my shop link because 'she forgotten' . fml . -_- reservation? OH RESERVATION WHAT? lol . -_-

you may say it's my fault but honestly, i've never known girls that are so thick skinned . i thought it would be irresponsible of me to sell off something to another person when it's reserved but looks like there ARE people more irresponsible that i am . hooray does it mean my keji side can come out now wtf . T____T'

truth be told, when someone expresses interest in something and i tell them 'sorry it's reserved atm', more often than not, they'll not return . so for me, it's a lost customer . gahhhhh talking about this makes me feel so shortchanged $@#%#!@!!!! );

oh i expect people to attack this post in my c-box . bring it on WTF HAHAHAHAH . i've said my piece . have a nice day .
