i tot i should blog abt yday's flea market too. since the 2 of them blogged abt it too. but anw, the thing is, sg set up a store at the lime mag flea market yday, although the big A is like nearing. but i tot we were rather unlucky.
first thing. our umbrella mate. i guess she had to depend on this flea market thing to earn her livin/earn some capital to open her own shop/earn some allowance. but anw, she was so so so so aggressive. like a mother tiger. i could see how much she wanted it. so much so tat it irks me.
cos the whole flea market thing actually starts at 1 and me and ong arrived at abt 1220. the lime guy had some difficulty findin our space. and u noe why? the woman who is gonna share a huge umbrella with us took the whole umbrella and was prepared to set up this 360degree store (or watever). so finally the guy found it and we rented tables for our stall lah.
and so the woman had her clothes hung all over the umbrella that we were practically outside the umbrella. of course ong asked her to move her stuff and she said in this super disgusting way tat she came here first and that she had her rights. okay. actually that's not wat i disliked abt her. i hated her 'i wan it so much' attitude and it was not the attitude tat an entrepreneur shd hav yah? u wan business, u talk ur way out woman. my attitude can win u anytime. and ur clothes are freaking ugly. haha.
so the lime guy came to talk to her. and of course she had to move her stuff lah. but still, she was 270degree. us, we are facing only one side.
2nd thing tat irked me was the 2 barginning aunties. wah biang. they are the worse. i pity their children man. cos we had some other customers before. and when ann said the skirt was from mango and all that they were quite willing to pay like 10bucks for a skirt lah. (cos it's already a big cut from the original price) but there were these 2 aunties. i dunno whether they are either 1)got eye no see tarzan 2)so good at barginning, they actually asked ann and ong to sell their skirts at $2.50. hello auntie, not pasa malam u noe? the skirt u noe hu design one anot? okay, i bet u didnt.
but this auntie bought my S&K berms at $5.50. auntie, u noe s&k in taiwan is like how ex? got f4 and S.H.E leh. wah biang. but thank gdness i could talk my way out from her inital proposed 5bucks(only a little lah) cos i talked damn quickly to her, and while she was still counting her money (like wat is $5.50 + $2.50) i jus took her 10bucks, shove her her 2bucks and said 'bye bye thank you'. haha.
but i still think they got eye no see tarzan. seriously loh. wait. one of the auntie was holdin a bag from topshop. tamade. u win. i tell u. i hope all ur kids cant wear ong and ann's skirts and while they are out the skirts will bijak.
but there were others who knew the stuff lah. like this woman who gave me 10bucks for my ink bag (thank you!! i lurve you!!) and this girl who bought my tiny flesh imp shirt at 6bucks. yup.
learnt a lot of yday. but more to learn. like how to con aunties. buck up!!
in the meantime. study(:
