DAY 1 - THURSDAY

I have a weird belief lately.

LONG HAIR BRINGS BAD LUCK

Being a superstitious man, I went to cut my hair to the shortest length as possible. As no hair brings no luck, no luck means no bad luck as well. And I’ve got the shock of my life when I reach home. The barber cut my silky long hair, into this:



Well, a small sacrifice for a big change I guess.

Anyway, met with bp for breakfast at Ya Kun, before going to the suntec COMEX show. The French toast is delicious, but every bite I took is a stab in the heart. Cause the set costs $3.90, which is double of what coffee shops are selling. Talk about big evil organizations.



Went to Suntec, and saw the booth we are allocated to. And we realized, it’s so far from the main hall, and most importantly, it’s behind a big fat pillar. After 4 hours, its time for lunch and we went down to collect a box of bottled mineral water from the main booth. And we’ve got the shock of our life.

Look at the crowd at our booth, and look at the crowd at the COMEX hall. Such a big difference! We didn’t signed up to swat the flies, we signed up for the atmosphere of the event, which is so disappointing. Anyway the crowd isn’t exactly all customers, if you look closely, the purple shirts are the dominating feature in this picture. Amazingly I think they over hired, and the booth away from the main hall is unnecessary.

Giving out brochures at the start or end of escalators is a big mistake. Somehow the designers of shopping malls conveniently placed trash bins at both ends of it, and somehow trash cans and brochures have an affinity to each other, and somehow I’ve never seen 70% of the brochures survived after the escalator, because somehow they ended up like this:


Well, that explains everything.

Shirley and Yiu hei came and visit us at dinner time. Took a few rounds around the exhibition hall because we have an excuse to collect dinner at the main booth. Anyway the dinner is delicious, so delicious that I forgot to take a photo of it, and the lunch is disgusting. Well this is lunch:

Anyway I have 1 sale today. Bp has none. Which we’re going to try harder on DAY 2 because we don’t want to go home empty handed. We need crowds though, so our supervisor is going to suggest to the event supervisor, to place a showgirl here. Here we’re trying to focus on sales and there they’re trying to distract us. I’ll get a photo of the showgirl is she’s pretty! Keke!

Well, wish us luck!
