Charity Bazaar~~

I have been so charitable this mth, must give myself a pat on the back! Have donated blood, pledged organs, bought charity booklets and raffle tickets and volunteered.. hehehhehe, talk abt a complete package! :)

Last Sunday, i was called upon by one of my colleagues to go volunteer at a charity bazaar in aid of Angels Orphanage, its an annual affair held at Overseas Union Garden.. I recruited Lilian there as well, hehe.. the more the merrier~

At the MCA Hall~

Arrived too early at the venue even after having an hour-long breakfast, so since the person in charge of our stall hadnt arrived yet, we took the opportunity to kaypoh at wat other ppl were selling~

Thats the 98.8fm stall..

They were selling all sorts of stuff, even soy sauce, cooking oil and evaporated milk, hahaha.. but no DJs to be seen :(

Organic food stuff~

Coupons counter.. RM10 for one book, as a volunteer we had an extra RM12, and my colleague gave me another RM10, so in total i had RM32 to fling.. muahahaha...


Coupons galore! :)

Our table still so empty when everone had already set up shop.. There was something unpleasant that happened, which resulted in us getting one table instead of 2~ but all in the name of charity, so...

Volunteers.. bought bought more than we sold i think.. hahaha...

Close-up~

Our team members finally arrived to set up shop ard 10am, we had been there since 8.30am O.o... Luckily we weren't selling lots of stuff, if not 1 table really wouldnt be enough..

Selling 'junk food'... price was adjusted to RM3 after much deliberation, hehe..

Damn hard to sell junk food.. eventhough it was one of the cheapest things being sold.. The stuff sold at the bazaar was quite pricey.. Sometimes the kids would want to buy, but the parents refused, sometimes husband wanted, wife refused, there was even one instance where the grandpa wanted to buy but the grandkid wasnt interested, hah! In the end, we resorted to carrying our goods ard to sell..

An uncle asked whether we are sisters, hehehehe...

very good turn out even with the blazing heat..

It was really really hot, but the place was quite packed the whole time.. and after one coconut, one cup of apple juice, bubble milk tea, and a heavy breakfast, i was feeling rather bloated, so desperately tried to sell everything as fast as possible to get home earlier :S

Got stall selling bak kut teh some more! It smelled really good~

Wish i could have tried it, but really too full.. :(

Kiddies dancing to Nobody~ cute!

At first i thought they were orphans, but were actually kids from a dance class~

Trying to pikat little girl.. hahaha...

Anyways, our strategy was quite successful, cos we managed to sell all our goods by 12.30pm :D i actually targeted ppl holding whole stacks of coupons, or ppl looking lost with no idea wat to buy, hehehe.. I spent my coupons mostly on cold drinks, a tin of biscuits and fu chok gingko barley tong shui :S

So many ppl seliing so little stuff, if cannot finish sure very embarassing, hahaha..

Quite a nice experience, imho.. but sure wish it wasnt that hot.. maybe a cloudy day would be good.. cos if it was a rainy day, then maybe not so many ppl would have bothered to go lor.. maybe next time i wanna go ladle soup to homeless ppl, hahahahha.... Thanks Kim and Fei Fong for the experience!
