yesterday's lime flea market was a big FAILURE!!!
1. weather was so hot, i got rash marks on my neck!
2. position of table was lousy--table's area facing the crowd was small.
3. people slashing prices with us (partly coz everyone else sell so cheap) like WHAT THE. maids are especially dangerous.
4. bloody heavy clothes rack
5. sell wayyy below cost. sigh.
in the end i think the sales came up to only $50. profits= -$xx which is like shitz. rental of stall i have already paid $10 and yet the what little profits i made barely covers the rental cost. much less the hours i spent waiting there in the hot sun and ferrying all the heavy stuff from boonlay there.
lessons learnt:
1. not to anyhow buy clothes anymore. like what my mother wisely say: u buy one dress so expensive, but when u dont want them, 1kg amounts to 50cents.
2. never open another flea market UNLESS i have 5kg worth of UNWANTED stuff to sell. selling brand new stuff there is a total waste of revenue--this is why it's called a FLEA market.
3. display of stall must take more conscientious efforts.
good things that came up from it:
1. my mum's like very heartened (HAHA!) and more accepting of my ventures into business. she just washed my bedsheets and without me asking her to and even though the bedsheets like not very dirty! she only does that like when she proud of me or something. my mother is so cute.
2. know my 2 classmates suzette and vanessa somewhat a lil better. =)
ANYWAY went for service this morning! wahhh cant believe in the past go for sunday service like so used to it but it took so much strength to go for today's service! woke up early again (God's testing me alot this week!) and lucky got junwei's company! HE'S SO SWEET! coz i left the house without bringing any sweater and i was feeling sick after sleeping so few hours and tired then i messaged him and he lend me this very big brown comforting sweater! =D =D i have this unexplainable passion for wearing guy-sized big jackets even though i look like im swimming in them. i think i look pretty in them. (HAHA)
ok eh anyway. service was pretty awesome. i was kinda wow-ed coz i thought i would fall asleep or be disappointed somehow, but everything was good! God was good haha. because there was only me n junwei, we managed to get front seats!! like so front! i could FEEL the bass and see the singer's clothing quite clearly.
the insane man-turned-bible school student's testimony was super powerful to me coz he used to be an insane man, drug-taker, abuser, violent man, medium of spirits. can u imagine transforming the lives of such people?? when the guy stepped onto the stage, he looked like any young winsome man. i felt so heartened.
and the NGO guy! no, NGO not refering to Non-Governmental Organisation, but nicholas goh organisation. actually, church always have these turn-millionaire stories almost every week, such that hearing another i became unimpressed. however after yesterday's business venture, today's story about nicholas goh was quite memorable. i really do wonder whether he was born into a rich family and thus manage to get a head start of others into setting up of his own business.
if only one day i can be like a halve of such people. i have to start thinking and believing and visioning and speaking of it now! haha but it's only sooo tough.
wish i can turn millionaire by 30. janet janet go go go!
pray for me tomorrow's presentation for my mass comm project!
