[$1002.10]
LOOK AT THAT SUM OF MONEY!!!
That's how much we earned today at the funfair!!! WHOOTS! YAYNESS!
Today was tiring. SUPER DUPER TIRING.
Wake up in the morning, very tired, and still had to lug 6 packs of ice lollies which were breaking my arm. And poor me had to lug it all the way to our class, which by the way is located at the 6th level. I climbed up the STAIRS. The freaking stairs which everyone hates. Reach class, there were a lot of people gathering at the back to put the ice lollies into the cooler boxes. Turned out that we had too little ice box and too little ice to even keep the lollies cold.
Then we had a little meeting. We found out that 6E was selling ice lollies too. So we changed our strategy for marketing. Instead of BUY ice lollies, you donate more than $1 and you get a free lolly. And we set of really early taking pre-orders from the classes. Then we took the tables down to "reserve" the place. The mobile workers took their posiions. So left the dart-boarders. We just sort out the prizes and put them in boxes. When it was about time, we went down to set up the stall.
After about 10 minutes, Zi Wei and I went upstairs to make some fliers to advertise the free lolly you get when you play darts. Anyway, turns out that the location was so bad that we had to close the stall. =( But we still had ice lollies to keep our class stall running. So I joined Amanda, Grace and Phoebe in the delivering of ice lollies to the classes that have pre-ordered.
We set aside 150 ice lollies for the classes but they were not frozen. We went down to change the ice lollies to frozen ones. After all, they were told to pay $1 instead of $0.50. So we thought that we should give them better ones. We figured that if we tell them about the decrease in price, they will think there is something wrong with our lollies. In the end, we only managed to sell 3 measly lollies to 4N. The other classes who pre-ordered form us just left! We had 150 FROZEN ice lollies wih us, and we were dead beat after lugging it around, going class to class. The ice lollies downstairs were out of stock and they just went MISSING!!!
So in the end we just brought the rest of the lollies down to sell at $1 (the lollies downstairs were $0.50 at first) and said that our stock was running out so the increase in price. Apparently 6E didn't have enough lollies. (I think. hehe) And we auctioned the last ice lolly for $1.50! Wonder who that idiot was.=)
Then we washed the boxes, cleaned up and had "debrief ". We were applauding Phoebe, Brandon and Samuel for their contribution to our stall. Samuel was talking to the P1 and P2 kids and persuading them to buy! =) I'm so proud of him. We all are. And we counted the money! A grand total of $1002.10!!!!!!!!!!=) SO MUCH MONEY!
Then we had a "lesson" on economics. Something about the 4Ps of marketing. After this, we went down for recess. (Oh wait. Was it before or after recess? I can't remember the sequence) Mr. Tan 請 $1 drink for every one. Last time only $0.40 now finally upgrade to $1. =)Ash and Silvia were telling us about their mobile sales in the canteen. They were cutting the tip of the ice lollies towards themselves! And of course they got splattered. The short was so colourful with all the polka dots of red, orange and yellow. Haha. Looks kind of comical.
When we ended class, we took some group photos and then we discussed about the chalet. In the end we chatted until 2pm. We lugged Fu Kian's 2 ice boxes down for him and then we went o Coronation bus stop. Came home dead tired.
AND SO THE LONG GRANDMOTHER STORY ENDS HERE.
I'M TIRED.
Oh yeah. I have another blog at WRETCH. It's way easier to use and I'm experimenting which I should use. For the time being, it shall be here. Anyway, here's the link: wretch.cc/blog/ameliayumei
