lazarusylicious: A new system also means a new ATTITUDE...

Hey good people... Tonight, photos again... So with this post, there is a total of 89 pictures on this page alone.. On this blog? Hundreds, I think.. I just did math homework and am crazy with my calculator..

Fact: Hurricanes are named by alternating gender names... What's odd is that the ones named after women are the strongest..

Went to the bazaar on Saturday night.. Was full of people.. FULL OF MATS AND MINAHS.. My gawd.. It felt different.. Seriously, after entering NTU and hanging out with all the geeks, I almost forgot how it was like to hang out with hardcore mats and minahs..

And stuff were SUPER cheap.. I mean, most of the traditional clothes I see were like $50, $35, $45.. Compared to my mom's shop, selling traditional clothes at an average of $80, I really wonder how they make it, taking profits that low.. Hmm, paying $20, 000 to rent a big shop for a month, paying workers (at least $700 per head?) and still make profits?? You do the math..

If there are 3 workers,
1) You'll have to make AT LEAST $737 a day just to cover rent and pay people

To at least earn profits of $6000 that month (considering you take 100% profit),
2) You'll have to make AT LEAST $1137 EACH DAY!

Which means, if you open from 11am to 12am (13 hours),
3) You'll have to make AT LEAST $88 AN HOUR!

Wow.. And that exclude transportation, food, storage (at least $1000 for that whole month) and other miscellaneous stuff like spot light (which the contractors charge at least $70 for each installation) and putting up shelves...

So, to run smoothly as a big, profitable company, approx $1187 is your goal EACH DAY, $92 AN HOUR..

People just go crazy over FIGURES.. But yeah, rental charges at the bazaar are too high, I say.. Thank God my mom's shop rental is only around $3000, she works alone and hell, she takes more than 100%.. hehe..

I can never make it in business..

And on Sunday, celebrated the last 2 Lonerz birthdays: Aisyah's and Saru's... FINALLY!!! And on that day, we divided ourselves into groups to finance and organise Lonerz celebrations for 2006.. This is to avoid having people not contributing and sponging around.. And yeah, budget per Loner rose to $10 a head.. So, annual membership fee is $80, excluding Lonerz Day budget and all the bloody dinners..

So Doc, go easy with the therapy yeah? I earn only $4.50 an hour and $80 a week from dad..

Announcement of groups:

Group 1: Samz, Bedah, Pras
Group 2: Usha, Aisyah, Ain
Group 3: Yati, Vidz and Saru

1 for 2, 2 for 3 and 3 for 1.. Get it?

Anw, here are the photos.. Enjoy..
