today was the second and last day of the ite "flea market". i feel super cheated for paying $50 rental and getting only so few customers i just covered the rent. the guy next to our stall for today (who was selling cute little gadgets and optical mouse and card readers and the like) was right: ite students have little spending power. if we were to sell at an actual flea market, i'm sure i would have sold at least half of all my clothes. the first day was a disaster. most of the stalls didn't have much business and i only sold one top (of mine) for the entire day. tons of people walked past but they just basically, walked past. a few took a look and only 3 people bothered to search the rack. i was very sure i would make a loss from this bazaar. luckily, perhaps thanks to my mom's prayers, we had some business today. the number of people was prolly only one-third of the first day's but more people actually browsed. i managed to earn about 30 bucks. some of the stalls weren't as lucky as we were: on the first day one packed up before time was up and quit the bazaar (she had a high opportunity cost just being a sitting duck), today some stall owners didn't come and the ladies who sold bookmarks and stuff packed up at like 3 plus and the events organiser even had a quarrel with her about packing up before time's up and that's against the "law". like, what law? you didn't give a confirmation letter for the booking of the stall to begin with, much less rules and regulations. no contract whatsoever, so don't blame people for packing up when they're making huge losses? seriously...

anyway, it's over.

maybe next time i'll try to rent a stall at a real flea market, but that would most prolly be after i come back from australia. anyway! met up with sam and greg at RK after dinner. it was great! it's hard to meet up since we always say we must meet up again but never set the date. haha..

shit, feel damn tired the past two days. all 'cause of the bloody bazaar. i think i'll need to sleep 12 hours to make up for all the lost hours..
