i am not cut out to do sales

humid and sweaty and sticky and frustrating - my day in a nutshell.

ok it wasn't TOO bad, cos i was in the company of nice friends. but still... it was horrible weather to be having a bazaar. business wasn't good cos i think the organisers didn't publicise enough. no shelters provided the whole day. and the rain kept stopping and starting.

at one point, the four of us were crouched in a little play tent that one of the girls had (thank God!) somehow decided to bring. we nearly suffocated for half an hour before the rain slowed down. heh

hmmm...

but i have to be thankful for the $35 i earned =) so after minusing rent ($3.50) and shopping from other stalls ($11) i earned about $20 =) yay.

but this whole experience has helped me really empathise with the pasar malam sellers that we so often see around. i used to get offended when they acted all grouchy and wouldn't give me further discounts, but now i know how they feel. poor things... i so sympathise... =(

hmmm... so. ya. i can't do sales man...

tomorrow is the beginning of my 9 months of stay-in.
