bazaar
Friday, October 31, 2008
3:07 PM
Today was the bazaar can and the P6 cohort rocked! We earned like, $12 000 lor!
Pro right? 6J and K got $1000 together :D I think mostly from the game, which many boys like, obviously 'cos it involves shooting (albeit cans).
OK erm let me start from the start ._.
The damn bag of the packet drinks is damn heavy lah D: My domestic helper helped to carry it to the bus stop, after which I carried onto the school bus, placed on my lap (stupid person I am) and then after reaching school, I carried it to the courtyard. On my way up I saw Ariel carrying this pot can! Looks like this lor:

Ugly.
Anyway we walked to the courtyard together! :D XH and Yan Tong were doing their posters. They're quite nice.
So blah all the ceremony things 'cos we do that everyday. Then we went to class, where the teachers briefed us.
At about 8, we went down to set up our stalls! Lalala.
Was tres tiring. Put all the drinks, food etc. on the table in such a way as was presentable. Being selectively neat and OCD, I arranged all the titbits according to their respective flavours/brand. For the basket (the basket is used by the Mobile Stall Person, who goes around the courtyard brandishing said basket and asking people to buy stuff) and the box (in which we put the rest of the stuff. Those that couldn't fit were simply placed anyhowly on the table D:<). Because I am so freaking clever and I possess entrepreneurial (yeyness I can spell this properly now! - actually, cannot.) expertise, I put more Mammi and Chicken Rings than let's say, erm, some weird digestive oats biscuit thing. Ahem. Oh yah, and for the drinks basket, (same purpose as the basket, only that it's stuffed with packet drinks I and Sara-Ann bought) I just put all five types (Ribena, Peach Tea Pokka, Peach Tea Seasons, Lemon Tea Pokka, Green Tea Pokka) (I think) into them and arranged the packets neatly, with help of Ariel. LQ also gave us drinks to drink (Ariel, green tea. Me, peach tea pokka.) 'cos the straws came out and of course we couldn't sell damaged goods, could we?
:)
Oh anyway, I was the Walking Advertisement. (Not that I did my duty as one lor. I simply suck at selling stuff to people lor! But I did table duty (serving customers)! :D) The stupid advertisement which I was supposed to hang around my neck in the typical walking-advertisement style (one advertisement sheet on both sides of me! Attached with strings, and strings rests on my shoulders) was like, weird. Firstly, the strings (as mentioned) were positioned too far apart and one end, left or right, constantly falls off my shoulder. Which is bloody irritating. Imagine having to push up that end of the string every one second, and after two freaking steps, having the other end to fall -.-. Secondly, one side of the string attached to one advertisement sheet was prone to dislocating, and breaking off from the advertisement sheet 'cos it wasn't attached properly with tape or something. In a span of 15 minutes, the bloody thing broke off from the advertisement sheet a good four times.
So I got frustrated. And gave up on wearing the advertisements after walking around and getting ignored by rude people D:<. (Dumped it at the games stall! Waha :D) The basket I was supposed to hold (while prancing around) was then taken up by YYX and the drinks basket by Ariel. They attempted to sell the things, not to much avail however. Hmph. OK at about 8.45 p.m. people started coming up and prodded around, but they mostly ignored the auctions stuff, which are stuff that were left over from the auction we had some time ago (read my archives). I was immediately reminded of the fact that the box containing these stuff was messily brimming. This is because some person just dumped the auction stuff from a plastic bag into the box lor. And never arrange somemore lor! Ewil. My OCD/neatness spirit was angered and I dumped all the stuff on the floor (after bringing the box to the floor lah) and started to arrange them in the hot heat. Our form teacher was bemused and asked me what I was doing. I told her I was arranged properly and she seemed to accept the explanation (of course lah!) and walked off to look at 6K's cocktail sausages or something. After a bit I finally finished and put on the table. I took one pencilcase (it was recycled lor) and kinda brought it along with me everywhere. Hello hello, I never steal lor! D: I ended up asking Ariel to buy coupons for me (I didn't have money on me then) but they were out of coupons lor! WTH?! How can like that one D: So I waited patiently, holding said pencilcase tightly while attending to the few people who passed by. After like thirty minutes Ariel came by and passed me $2 worth of coupons. I immediately bought the pencilcase and stuffed it in my pocket. Things started to pick up during the P1 and P2s' recess. Lots of P1s or P2s or whatever came by lor! People were actually queueing up leh! :O This lasted for like 30 minutes.
We had short spurts of the same activity until after the P3 and P4s' recess. The P5s are not generous! D:
OK maybe that's a generalization.
Oh wait but throughout the freaking whole thing until the P5s' recess was over at least, the games stall was damn popular lah! Got one whole mass exodus gathering there lor! :D Yeyness.
The bazaar was a blur of activity and serving customers. I occasionally saw LQ bursting in and acting gey to customers. OMG he like flirted with these P3 girls can, when they were at the auction stuff section. Quoting him somewhat:
-in slightly gey voice- If you buy something -gesture to few remaining auction items, told you they were running out!- from here I'll wear this -picks up gey electric blue string thingy-
Anyway it worked 'cos the girls giggled (bah!) and bought some weird things I couldn't remember.
I also recall bringing WR's sister to the 6M's stall leh! See, I'm so nice :D.
OK enough egoing.
Oh yeah leh, a little before the P6 recess time I got a bit hungry so I bought one of my own lemon teas ._. and a Wei Sheng cookie! Tasty and nice! :D
At the last part I really slack can. Mostly sat around and briefly attempted to sell cookies. Failed.
At the last last part I helped the games stall. Ever so popular :)
The bazaar was funfunfun! Not as fun as Snow City but still nice lor. Ariel tried to get people to buy the cookies/muffins by talking in Chinese about how the cookies/muffins are damn tasty, and somemore portion of it is for charity. Quoting her:
买这些零食,不仅能让你大饱口福,还能支持慈善机构,这岂不是一举两得、一箭双雕、一石二鸟吗?
Roughly translated, "buy all these titbits, not only can you enjoy the taste of them, you can also support charities! isn't this killing two birds with one stone,
killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone?"
Needless to say, most heck-cared her lor ._.
At the end our food stall had a big big bigggg sale. A cookie which was originally one for 50 cents became...
.
.
.
Suspense! Suspense suspense!
(I must stop using this line.)
.
.
.
3 FOR 50 CENTS, 7 FOR ONE DOLLAR!
The cookies is not only damn chocolatey hor, it's like 4cm in diameter can!
Cheap or not you tell me! Freaking cheap lor!
:O
I must omit the fact that quite few people wanted to buy even after the sale
Erm OK I think I finished this post liaoh! :D So happy today, can make so much money. And the auction stuff only left a bit. My drinks were sold out in approximately 2 hours! Hurray! :D
And Etsuko got Ah Lian hair
After the bazaar we packed up, went up and then 'cos there were some muffins and cookies left we went to sell to teachers.
The muffins were damn popular and in like, 10 minutes? all were sold out lor! Yen Siang baked them! :D
Wei Sheng cookies left like five, and I brought home two. They ended up mostly crushed and lay scattered in my bag which then needed washing.
Etsuko cookies left none, I don't think, except one which she brought home herself ._. It was like 10cm in diameter, not kidding.
P.S. Ariel thinks 一石二鸟 is not a proper Chinese idiom but I don't care, I'm quoting her anyway! :D
P.P.S. Ewil me -.-
P.P.P.S. OMG did I mention I lost a damn pretty photoframe made out of ice-cream sticks (asked YYX to help me buy from 6G, I think) lor! It had a pinky ribbon on top. And it was $1 lor! D:
Bye :D
