As the title suggests, today is friday the 13th.

A supposedly day of bad luck.

But luckily, nothing bad happened to me today.

Today, Horti sold flowers at the guitar concert to raise funds for the Sri Lankan tsunami victims.

Since I was the one who initiated it, I was really worried that the response would be bad.

Mrs Chuah suggested ordering 20-30 stalks but I ordered 40 instead because I felt that 20 was really too little.

So I was scared that we couldn't finish selling then I would get blamed.

But actually horti people are very nice, so I don't think they will blame me. Haha.

We ordered 20 stalks of gerbera. 10 red, 10 yellow. 15 red roses and 5 sunflowers.

The stall was set up at 6.30pm and people already started buying. So I became quite optimistic about the sales.

In the end, we sold everything except 1 sunflower by 8pm.

And we decided to go back if not we would have to wait for the interval to continue selling.

I don't deny that the sunflowers really looked dead.

That's why we had 1 left over even when we ordered only 5.

In the end, we made about $20. It's not bad, considering the amount of capital we put in.

We're thinking of selling next week for the chinese orchestra and strings concert as well.

Hopefully, we'll be able to make more then and I'll be sure not to order sunflowers.

At least not the dead ones. Haha.
