PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just came back from tanglin mall.
was selling 2nd hand stuff with jolin at the flea market.
SUPER TIRING ok,
though it was only like 6hours and we get to sit down most of the time.
haha.
out slot was number 19 and it's at the most far end of tanglin mall.
at where the entrance of the car park is.
tiring but SO FUN!!!
haha...
among those stall around us,
we had the least customers!!!!!!!!!!
from what we see,
those stalls ALWAYS had customers loooking at their stuffs.
then us??
haha.......
we spent like 1/3 of our time thinking;
-what's wrong with our stall?
-the location? coz it's the most far end?]
-our clothings are so nice!! how come no one come and see?
-our selling tactic?
-we weren't friendly enough?
blah blah blah....
haha....
but still we made $260 profit in total.
each of us around $130.
MIND YOU.....
we sold our stuffs at only at the most range of $1 - $3 ONLY!!!
they ALWAYS bargain with us!
and the soft hearted us just say OKIE and sell them cheap.
the most expensive item i sold was, a bag at $8!!!
haha.
the rest, all at mostly $2!
so imagine from our profit plus rental cost...
we actually SOLD A LOT of items !!!
we were quite heart pain at certain moments though.
when those BRAND NEW clothings ,even with TAGS attached,
purchase price at $20+++,
we sold them off at ONLy $2-$3 !!!!!!!!!!
they just keep bargaining la!!!
mostly those philipinoes and indonesians who come to singapore to work and ain't that rich la...
BUT IT WAS ALL SO FUN!!!
AND I AM SO HAPPY TODAY.
oh and one thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL!!!!!!!!!!
ALL OUT THERE WHO SAW ME TODAY.

it was madness!!!!!!!!
even before jolin arrives,

and see my 1st customer standing behind me,
ready to 'target' at my stuffs!!!!
then i realise my mat (table cloth actually) was too small for the slot!!!
but doesn't matter.
just make do with it.
showing her a top which is brand new from my previous thailand trip.
mum helping young kid with the half-jacket (brand new too).
lady in green also has a stall just opposite us.
tanglin mall, 3pm
jolin arrives!
she was shocked!!
'how come so many people? why never wait for me?"
it was only early 3pm and our business was VERY GD.
everything was messed up.
customers just dug in and throw everything around.
when they saw jolin,
they were so excited!!
because "wow more stuff more stuff!!! "
they even 'helped' jolin to unpack her bag.
haha
wow wow...
so MANY PEOPLE at one point of time!!!!!!!!
if i remember correctly.
this was the peak of our entire day.
haha.
becuase i remembering jolin and customer both asking me for price and i was quite confused.
a good start doesn't mean anything though.
ahahaha.
busy... but still smile for the camera
hahahha!!!
jimmy caught this!!!
I SERIOUSLY don't know what was it.
me looking so unglam and disgusted
and the lady so happy!
hahahhaha
wow!!!
good business! good business!
me with a thai vcd (sold for $1) and jolin with a tube top (gave out free to a lady whom bought a lot of stuff).
us holding on to my clothing.

so coincidence wenyong's mum is also selling at the flea market
we were at our most pathetic period whereby so often there weren't any customers at our stall.
we were at our most pathetic period whereby so often there weren't any customers at our stall.
and we could only look around and envy others...
especially the stall just directly opposite us.
then wenyong and jimmy claims that they will charm the people to come over.
most of the time, failure to do so.
haha!!!
but at the end of the day, $260 profit was very good!
wenyong's mum only made around half of ours.
wenyong's mum only made around half of ours.
so ..... low patron rate doesn't mean bad sales!
haha
jolin's money!!!!
hooray!
the best accountant and photographer of the day
the hot favorite among the bags!!!
you know.... taste really varies!!!
whatever we (jimmy, jolin and i) thought was nice and pretty,
those customer don't think so.
their taste and focus were on those UGLY stuff (nt refering to the bag above).
really don't understand why.
haha
only very minorities share the same taste as us
