My Bazaar
My bazaar experience!!
Yesterday, eunice & me set up a booth at the bazaar at the Pits building.. it's a building where you are able to see the F1 racing cars at their start/end position..
we took a taxi down cos eunice's friend are not able to drive us there...the Eureka ppl told us to register by 11am but when we reached there and finally finding out where & which floor the bazaar is held, it was almost 11am, but no Eureka ppl was at sight..no chairs, no tables were set up. The bazaar is starting @ 12 noon & nothing was being set up yet. god....
after waiting for a while, they finally came and after much hardwork hanging up all the clothes and arranging the accessories, we were done!! however, it started to rain....heavily... eunice and me were like ..darn.... in this kind of ulu place + raining, the crowd will definitely be pathetic...& sure enough it was...
initially we had all our price tag confirmed and tag already with prices ranging from per piece @ $3 - $15..then after waiting for like 1 hr, we decided to change them from 1 pc for $6, 2 pc for $10, 3 pc for $12. ppl start coming in but not tt brisk..from the start, our stomach was already grumbling but we managed to tahan till 4.30pm and finally make a call for mac delivery..lol..then to our shock, they said they will need 1 and a half hr to reach us..god...can see how ulu tt place was? although it was near the Singapore Flyer..
seeing tt we still have tons of clothes hanging up, eunice decided to let go of them all at $2..so we drew and colour to change the price tag lol... we managed to make friends there.. all of them complaiining how bad their busn was and had nothing to do..there was this malay untie (she doesnt looks like a untie) who ask me tt if i wanted to go toilet jus inform her cos she will go with me..lol..she said she scared of going alone..haha..
den beside our stall is two very pretty big sister who sold beautiful clothes!! i was eyeing on tt piece of dress with roses but i think i cant fit in cos of..erm..there..haha.. eunice bought a leopard print dress.. they den treat us to candy..hehe..
at ard 6 to 7 pm, ppl were already packing up cos busn was tt bad.. earlier, we had known this uncle who sold belts and from the afternoon to the evening, there were very little ppl who patronise his shop & from what i see, i barely made 2 sales... me & eunice packed up @ ard 7.30 pm, and after calculating, not taking into the taxi fare we took to come down and taking into acct the mac lunch which cost $14.80, we made $86. deducting the rental fee which is $76, we made a profit of only jus $10. but we were happy enough tt we could cover up the rental cost..most of the stall i guess will have difficulty in doing tt..
quite disappointed in how the eureka ppl did it.. they said they will advertise in magazine, anywhere and everywhere that will attract the attention of the ppl with spending power.. ya crap..ppl who turn up were all teens , mums..
overall, both of us had a good time (playing ard) although the profit was pathetic.
