August Rush. Not the movie (a really good one!) but in every sense of the word - August has literally whizzed us by. We have been dazzled and amazed by the feats of China, as they played host to the Beijing Olympics 2008. Finally, another Asian nation which has been bestowed the honour of hosting the world’s greatest sporting event.

The good news does not stop there as our very own home grown Chong Wei  won Malaysia it's first silver medal in 12 years. Though he did not beat the Chinese stronghold, Lin Dan, it's still a feat to be celebrated. We are proud of you!

As the torch of the Olympics passed on to London for the 2012 Games. Many questions how London would be able to outdo China in their efforts to "wow" the world. It's a  phenomenon of sorts. As an Asian heritage company, we feel so proud that China or Asia  can host world class standard events.

As we talk about the passing of torch, it brings us back to that of Cziplee as a business. Started 37 years ago by an entrepreneur, who only had a loan of
RM 2,000 from his mother to begin his little tuck shop, CzipLee has grown leaps and bounds through sheer hard work of family, support from the community (yes, that means you!=)) and continuity in the generations forward to continue the good work.

Cziplee believes in preserving tradition, yet forging ahead in adapting to times. That's why we are working on many other means to reach out and satisfy our clients. From our up and coming, CzipLee Lite an online concept store, to our newly set up of a one stop printing centre in Bangsar which many have been requesting for - we strive to do what our founding father did best. Meeting the needs of the community.

And meet your needs we definitely will. Especially this month of August, as we celebrate Malaysia's 51 first anniversary of independence. Cziplee will be running some exciting promotions throughout the stores for as long as we can. Stay tune for updates via our twitter or our blog!

Also, did we tell you that it's almost time to rid your 2008 diaries? Moleskine 2009 diaries hits the store early September and what better way to look forward to another new year than with a new Moleskine diary! With 19 models to choose from and 1 very Special limited edition only available in CzipLee. There will definitely be diary for everyone! A sneak peek:

Till then, we've enjoyed this August rush and we are all gearing up for September. Are you?

To our fellow Malaysians, have a great Merdeka weekend!
