Why I (and the other 4) chose to 'Bang Against The Wall'

Hello ladies! Its been a while (i know i know... guilty as charged) since I last wrote but its been a tad busy for me... with lull economy times like this, I need to work extremely harder than before to ensure I get to pay my girls and foot the rent... Running a business is not easy and it is not just getting a space and take stock and sell clothes. It is more than that if you need to ensure that you can thrive in the business. IT is a lot of hard work and get loads of criticism and backlash and improve and progress... those who are in the same trade as me will truly understand what I am talking about...

And just when I am increasing my momentum for my business (i never stop, in fact I work more than ever) my 4 other girls namely Prissy, Cate, Jenah and Karen decided to launch a closed group for you curvy ladies namely, 'Curvysta - Because theres a Star in You'



Many people came towards me and even my friends and told them how dumb and silly it is to form a group for curvy ladies as this is not money making. It is time consuming, sucks our energy and at times we have to fork out our own money for miscellaneous items. Many told me straight in the face that I am 'woah, you are so big hearted but in a way you are dumb' and I know my other 4 girlies got similar backlash too but really, We WANT TO DO IT, willingly - period.

The 5 of us came together by chance since 2010 and we hang out pretty much often. Of course, some came and go and that left the 5 of us now. Of course we fight and we wish to can smack each others brains once in a while BUT we realised that despite our DIFFERENCES, we really have a common goal and that is we want to GIVE BACK TO the curvy ladies and we REALLY WANT TO SERVE. I was once mocked for being 'snake' and that I have hidden agenda when Curvysta was launched. I didnt need to even reply that comment for I know deep down I stand tall, am dignified and I shouldnt fear. We also have naggy loved ones who told us to not be so involved because taking a bus to source for location 'also cost money and Curvysta is not paying you' but WE REALLY WANT TO DO IT, period. I once heard from other source that we were criticised for choosing to be in groups and we shouldnt be choosing people and make them into our group. But then the truth is: We didnt! We sincerely welcome curvy ladies to come join us! 





So what is Curvysta all about?

Curvysta is founded by 5 like-minded FAT ladies who wish to give back WILLINGLY to the other curvy ladies. We know how it TRULY feels to be criticised EVERYDAY by family and friends for being fat and lazy and beyond hope. We believe that every curvy girl despite size OUGHT to be happy inside and beautiful outside. We believe that by bonding and gathering, we can share positive vibes and share the pain together should there be a need to. Curvysta is all about LOVE, POSITIVE ATTITUDE, SHARING, CARING and KEEPING IN TOUCH. We do create events (the first 3 was an awesome success!) and we will continue to keep doing it until we get it right! It is definitely not about making money! (as I am typing this I am getting annoyed... calm as a clam... ohmmmm kayde-oooohm) Each of us runs a business or has a dedicated job and one of us (not me) runs a family business that speaks millions. I am very happy with my Kaylene business and I am thriving well, really ladies... I couldnt understand why we are suspected to launch Curvysta with a hidden agenda. Okay.. maybe we do have a agenda and that is:

We want Curvysta to grow well and prosper in terms of the number of members and that we will constantly meet up and find new friendship and share our joy and positive lights. We want all members to find peace within oneself and that life is more than the physical appearance. We want Curvysta to grow in to big numbers so that we can support one another and network together in all parts of Singapore. We want to create a group where when we cross the road and see another curvy lady, we greet each other with a smile or a high 5 instead of having heads down and not looking up.

So there, right now Curvysta is a baby and has 600 over members (great job admins!) and we are very strict in this group. We do not sell products (yet) and do not promote anything. We have hawk eyes whenever we have members awaiting to be approved. We are that serious in making sure you girls get a safe environment. (that said, if anyone cheats and foul play, let us know we will block them) the 5 of us are very comforted by the numbers and we know it can get only better.  Do come and support this group by supporting events that we organise! These are our fuel and energy booster and remind us that all the calls we make, all the site recce, all the emails we sent out are worthwhile because you girls will get to enjoy the events. That is really what we are asking for and this is really what we want to do and that is 'TO SERVE'. The admins recently got deflated by the lack of response for the Yoga class (ironically theres more people asking on whens the next one since the 1st is cancelled) and I spoke to Mr Ling about my fears on failing to pull through Curvysta. He calmly replied:' Just keep doing. Even if it is just 1 person who turns up. Just keep doing until it becomes 10 and till it becomes 100..' woah... what a positive man injecting positive vibe to the low-morale wife... I got up shortly after and sent text to the other 4 to remind them to keep our heads up! All replied with positive response and yup, we are ready to rock and roll again!

So now ladies, I have officially introduced Curvysta (i know it is a tad too late!) and the 5 admins sincerely hope you will join us and be part of a new family that has nothing but joy, love and positive vibes.
