When did you start and what makes you started?
We preplanned the brand way back in 2012, and decided to take it a step further by registering the business in 2014. We fell very hard on our startup that goes way back to 2008. That was one fall that we will never forget. We lost everything, trust and even the miscarriage of our twin child. BUt it was lucky we bit our teeth and continued on. We wanted to express and tell the world, it's ok to fall. Look at the world with a smile and keep going. That was what Tee-Saurus was all about. Never give up. That is also why a lot of our merchandise plays with humour.
Where does your Inspiration comes from?Everyday life and complaints, literally. We love transforming the negative to the positive

Who inspires you?
My family. Who gives me interesting advice on life.
And also to my entrepreneur friends who are more successful than me. They are my advisers when I hit a wall.
Iskandar Jalil - my lecturer way back in Temasek Poly. He is man of temper, but really passionate in his teachings. He challenges you to unleash your creativity and feel towards your works. Also he helps the needy by sponsoring for their studies. This is something I would also want to do in the near future.
