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.
