Going On Loopzy in Singapore!

Saturday, Sep 26, 2009 6:54PM / Standard Entry

Here's the latest business blog from Li Lin about her new Loopz that have finally arrived on the shores of Singapore! You can find them at select Guardian stores!

Going 'Loopz'y starting up a new business

Wong Lilin, Founder, Wureka.com

Sep 25, 2009 Friday, 03:57 PM

Actress Wong Lilin tells why she's pursuing a previous project as a business now.

I'M on the cusp of running an active business and the thought is sometimes frightening.

It all started 14 years ago when I was teaching Pilates and using TheraBands, a latex flat sheet used by the superfit and those in rehab alike. It's a great tool for resistance training, and anyone who knows anything about fitness will tell you resistance training is an important if not overlooked aspect of being in shape.

I had a client who had the hardest time with these TheraBands because of her rheumatoid arthritis. Grasping these TheraBands require a fist grip that she just could not manage. Tai-tais with long nails and people with hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms) couldn't manage either. So I figured, I can come up with something better. And I did, I think!

I developed Loopz, an exercise band with multiple grip openings so you can simply slip your hand or foot through them for exercise. It's more comfortable, safer, more durable and stronger than conventional resistance bands. The exerciser can also do more with it - including abdominal work. And, it is six times stronger than a market competitor!

Lilin shows how her Loopz band helps you get lean arms.

But I was too busy being young at the time and left it at that.

Fast forward to today. I've decided to revive my Loopz project. Why? Aside from the feeling of wanting to complete what I'd started so long ago, I'm now driven this time by a fierce motivation to provide for my family.

So the first thing one does in this digital era? Get a website right? Well, when I recovered from the shock of the fee involved in getting my site started, my imaginative mind (a numerologist highlighted as a key trait of mine) began to think up ways to milk my money's worth. I figured I'll continue to follow my heart of sharing wellness with others and decided to start an online listing for all wellness related businesses.

Wureka is a sort of "yellow pages" for wellness listings basically - but affordable and uncomplicated. It charges $500 for the year, or $1.40 a day, for a wellness-related business to list. The idea is for the auntie in Ghim Moh and the uncle in Telok Kurau to have their businesses seen on the web. I want the end user to be able to access all wellness information in one site, quickly and without fuss. I want www.wureka.com to be the most exhaustive, comprehensive and de facto definitive site for wellness in Singapore.

Wureka! Wellness: You found it!

And it'll house Loopz.

Both Wureka! and Loopz are intrinsically linked in that their geneses were my desires to deliver an improved product and to share fitness/wellness with all.

So here I am, on that cusp with so much to learn, too much to do and attempting to keep my head on - my Daily Batting. There are a multitude of times when I wonder if I realize what I'm getting myself into (I don't!). Yet I haven't thought about giving up. I think I'm actually enjoying myself in a sick, strange sort of way.

My husband, feeling badly that the new business is getting the better of me, very kindly volunteered the idea that I could always back out. But you know what? I choose to do this. It would be extremely unsatisfactory if I were to fail and lose my investments. But ultimately, it is less about the money than it is the task that I am committed to keeping. Every successful person or business has had their teething days and I am living it right now.

Yes, it's daunting but I'm in training! I'm a soft quivering mess now but I'm looking forward to building up some muscle. I want very much to succeed. I want to provide. And I am extremely motivated by my desire not to waste this opportunity.

Jumpin for Joy with a Hosting Reel

Thursday, Sep 17, 2009 8:59AM / Standard Entry

So Hollywood is a much different market to work than Asia, and I've had to come up with a separate Hosting Reel for prospective shows that require...hosting. If you're curious as to how it turned out, then head on over to http://www.wulander.com

I am not sure if these are the most appropriate pictures to show me "jumping for joy" with finishing the Hosting Reel, but I liked the tropical island setting of Bali anyway.

After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, ALLAN WU soon realized that his career would veer far away from his Pre-Med major and biotechnology background. Little did he know that his career in entertainment would propel him all the way to Asia even after modeling for the prestigious Ford Model Agency in Los Angeles, California.

Once Allan decided to "set up shop" in Asia, he was immediately invited to become an MTV (Music Television) VJ in Taiwan with stints on MTV Taiwan’s Party Zone, International Top 20 and Most Wanted. Not to rest on his laurels, Allan later moved to Hong Kong to focus more on his acting and was featured in numerous television commercials regionally along the way.

In line with Allan's desire to experience more of Asia both from a personal and professional perspective, he took Singapore by storm when he first dropped in over seven years ago. In addition to hosting and presenting, Allan is also one of the most sought after actors on screen and has starred in an extensive list of productions both in English and Mandarin. Never one to back down from a dare, Allan even found himself consuming maggots, worms, stinky beetles, and rotten fish eyes on NBC's Fear Factor in the United States.

Establishing himself as Singapore’s one and only hunkalicious action hero, Allan landed the highly coveted spot as the Host of AXN’s The Amazing Race Asia several years ago. With Season Four of The Amazing Race Asia ready to take flight once again, there's no telling how far Allan will soar--only the sky's the limit.
