first of all would like to greatly thank you to all my group members for allowing me to be the Project Manager. Our Jumbo Sale was a great success.

The members were very helpful, special thanks to Jolene & family for letting us to use their place to store our stuff, i mean there are lots of it... & also for the foods & drinks that they have prepare for us..... Make all of us miss our home cook food. Most of us are not locat from KL ma...

Also to those who help us in transportation.... a very good thank you for helping us in fetching the stuff to Mont Kiara.... They are Alan, Lii, Tim, Din, Intan, Shirleen, Vincent, Roger & Jolene's dad. THANK YOU all very much....

On the Jumbo Sale, (30 April 06, Sunday)

Actual plan was, those who are helping us in transporting the stuf to meet at Jolene's at 8:15am...

I plan to reach there before 8am, atleast can finalise some stuff before loading them into the cars... Mana tahu, when i reach around 7:45am with Aishah, Alan & Lis reach earlier than us.... waiting in the living room d... Wah!!!! so early le u all.... malu nia.... Thank you so much for helping us ya...

When i look at our stuff in Jolene's house, they are already properly stack up & divided. Thanks to Jolene for everything... U had help us a LOT....

Later on Intan arrive, her Unser was fully loaded... Aishah followed Intan's car, all 3 cars, (Alan, Li & Intan) left from Jolene's around 8:20am. This is earlier than I thought, i think they had breakfast 1st lo....

Vincent & Ei Lyn reach later... we started to load more stuff into their cars... & headed to Mont Kiara...

Moments later, Tim arrive, some guy who almost went for RIKL IW 2 years ago but missed it because he was sick the day before... He got to know about our Jumbo Sale & help us LOts.... thank you again...

AT MONT KIARA

by the time i reach there, it was already 9:25am, we are still okay on our time. Everything is fine... except we have lots of stuff to arrange...

Those who arrive earlier like Ezra, Alan, Li, Vincent & Ei Lyn had already started to sort things out...

Our umbrella was only 8x8 feet... but we have loads of stuff in boxes, bags & everything else...

Our first transaction took place before 10:00 am. It was RM10. I was not sure what it was but somebody pass me RM10... lol

In the end, the management ask us to pindah tempat... Because we have too much stuf... Really sorry for our spot. I expected the sales is juz at average, so I did not wanted to take up 2 booths or more. We need to pay RM65 per booth, if spend less, then atleast we can untung more ma... But things went beyond expectation....

Around 10:30am at the new place, we sort out our things again... We have loads & loads of stuff to sell... I think we have more than 50 pairs of school shoes... more than 5 boxes of books & magazines & comics... & lots more of random stuff...

Before noon, business was juz cold but still okay. We manage to cover up the rent for the booth. By then lots of RIKL members came to help us... They are Vic (some photographer, he took lots of pics. I did not took more than 20 pics for this JUMBO SALe... really sorry... no time to do that as i was busy, so really thank him for taking our pics), Adrian, Shirleen, Eddie, Li Ping, Szu Mei, & many many more which I do not know them well yet & also forgotten their names(sorry ya)... but thank you all so much for making our project a successful one.

By 1:30pm, we need to change stategy, prices started to slash, things went as low RM2 or RM1 each. The packets of oats was sold at RM2 each, a lady bought all of it. (we think she bought from us & sell to others at a higher price to others too... lol.. jk). A lady bought a nice & well ELMO for juz RM2 too... that ELMO was nice le... RM2 was super cheap... Luciky I safe my TIGGER too... huahahhaha... It's hopping around with me now... lol....

around 3:00pm, a lady approach us if we want to sell the white board, yes the one we wrote [RM2] on it... Yes, of course we want to sell it off... so we got another RM3 from the white board... Yes, so now we left our voice to SHOUT... no more board.. lol

At 3:30pm, business was still not going that fast, & we still have lots of stuff, we change plan again, things now go as low as RM1 each. our business was super great then... Everyone came to buy our stuff... It was really cheap... Some of the RIKL members bought too... ya, they waited till RM1 only buy... lol...

We need to change the price also because we see the weather started to change.Almost 4pm & CLOUDY, no sunshining at us..... Then everything is selling at RM1 each... we had a great respond from the public...

We manage to sell as much as possible at RM1. I started to worry about the weather by4:15pm. We started to pack up the rubbish & some stuff into bags & boxes.

During the sales, a small girl came back many times to buy stuff from us.. She was so cute... lol....

At 4:35pm, i felt a drop of rain. It was time to pack up everything. We hurriedly pack our stuff & hide under the shades.

Even at such a time, there are still people who wants to buy our clothes. Yes, under the umbrellas. lol... They are the cleaners there... digging those clothes from the box...

Those who are all packed start loading our left overs into Alan's & Li's cars. Some went into Vincent's & some into Shirleen's car.

By 5:00pm we are all at Jolene's house again. They had all arrive, waiting for me eagerly... yes, the cash was all with me... lol.... Can lari with the wang ya... lol

We started counted, I got more than RM1000 in hand. Only then i realise, some money is with Roger & he's still not back yet... lol... mayb he left with the money... lol.... jk...

So for this JUMBO SALE we got a nett profit of..... *drums rolling****

RM1112.80

(sorry counted salah at Jolene's place) we were too tired & messy with the cash on hand...

half of this would go to RIKL & half to Angel's Kids Home...

I would also like to take this apportunity to thank everyone who had make this JUMBO SALE a huge success. Without any of your help, we would not gain this much, not only the $$$ but also friendship, knowledge & also skills...

To Joe & Evangeline, thank both of you in guiding and helping us throughout the journey. Although Joe can't make it for the BIG DAY, but without your help, this wont happen.

I am really pround to have known RIKL for making me learn more in life....

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH....
