Worst Flea Ever

Still trying to get over the flea I attended last weekend in KL. Signed up for 2 days flea at e@Curve (just found out about this place!) in Mutiara Damansara. Being just a few steps away from The Curve, I thought it should be good. I mean The Curve, Ikano, Ikea and e@Curve is practically 1 building right?

Thank God I didn't sign up for the whole month! They were going to have this flea every weekend till end of Dec and if you sign up for 4 weeks, you get a RM50 discount of the rental ie instead of paying RM170 for 2 days, you will pay RM120 for 2 days.

I haven't been to many fleas but trust me, this has gotta be the worst! I doubt any fleas in Singapore can top that. Assuming Anlynn did not bring any of her friends to the flea, I would end my day with only 1 customer! Yes! From 11am to 8pm only 1 customer! My sales of the day couldn't even cover my hotel. I had lots of flies and mozzies accompanying me throughout the day though. Hubby as usual was enjoying himself in our 4* hotel room and sleeping all afternoon.

I have totally no idea if the problem lies with OPI or it's just the mall. The crowd in the mall itself is extremely thin so of course the mall plays a huge part. But OPI - the very few shoppers wasn't even interested to look at the colours, at least. They practically walked past my booth without the slightest interest. Aiyah, my problem is no money. Would have mix OPI and NYX just to gauge what are Malaysians really into. Honestly, I doubt OPI works in Malaysia. Really. No thanks to brands like Elianto who are selling polishes for RM5 while OPI is RM30-35.

I'm not gonna give up until I can convince myself that OPI doesn't work in Malaysia then I will have to gear up with my NYX or any other cosmetic brands.

But no doubt, e@Curve was my worst flea ever! To think that the organizer was trying to rent me a rack in her shop in the same mall, on first floor. Eew!

I am eyeing Jaya One. Anybody familiar with the crowd in Jaya One? I am very interested with The Curve's Street Market but too bad, management doesn't allow cosmetics.

Post Malacca

No time to post pics at all!

We stayed a night in Malacca at a little inn Hallmark Inn. It is not the best but it is decent after all. For the price we paid, it's alright.

What did I do? Nothing much really. Visited Jonker Street for the first time in my life. Don't be surprised but really. Nothing great....just another pasar malam. I very much prefer the day street then the night street. Less rowdy but then again the crowd was mostly due to the fact that it was a long weekend so larger crowd.

And the gem of the trip? Hard Rock is in Malacca!!!! *Nod nod nod* The shop is up and running but missing the cafe - that is still under construction.

Oh and for a non-laksa eater, man the laksa is superb! The stall is only open during the day (maybe for lunch only) and you cannot miss it - it's got the longest queue. Hubby had the Laksa while I tried the Baba Asam Laksa. Yumz! Two thumbs up (3,4,5 etc thumbs up if I have more than 2 thumbs) It is a must try if you happen to be in Malacca.

I will post the pics soon - try lah ok......

Meet again

Didn't realise it has been quite a while since I last posted. Have been extremely busy myself - getting everything ready for opening of outlets in 313 Somerset and Jurong East Central. Started on 1st Nov and still trying to get everything right so I'm still spending a lot of time running around.

But TGIF!!! Yes! A long weekend - 6th is Hari Raya Haji so brought forward to 7th (Sunday to Monday) and a weekend of weddings.

A wedding dinner tomorrow and a wedding luncheon on 6th in Malacca so yes I'm going to Malacca!! I expect to stay a night there coz we can easily make it back after lunch but hubby says why not just stay for a night since Monday is a holiday anyway. Why not?

I will for the first time in my life visit Jonker Street! Well, at least that is in the plan. We'll see what happens.

*Yawn*

I'm sitting in at my desk in the office as I am writing this and waiting for hubby. I'm damn tired and damn full. I hate this feeling - feeling so damn full. Yuck.

Anyway, anybody reading this post and wants to buy NYX, E.L.F or OPI products, please visit us at Jurong East Central!!! =)
