Busy with new stocks

Been busy these past few days with the new products from the new suppliers. Was price tagging and packing the new products since thursday till today. Yesterday entered the product codes into the system in the shops and also delivered some stocks over at the same time. Got back home at around 11++pm after tabao-ing supper back home with mum as was feeling hungry. Today did more tagging of stocks and again delivered stocks to each outlets. Got back home at ard 10pm. Our other new products like shoes, bags, tees and jeans have yet to arrived. Will ony arrive some time in Nov/Dec, in time for the christmas period. Praying that the new products will be well-received in the market.

Our new supplier will also be our purchaser. He'll go ard sourcing products for us, show us some samples that he thinks is nice and if we like the product we can make the orders thru' him. So now he's our supplier-cum-purchaser. Ha. Is there such a position? Younger than me (only 24) but very entrepreneurial. I've a lot to learn from him. Indeed do not despise your youth.

Our new girl has already undergone 4 days of training. According to our malay girl who's training her in our far east outlet, she's trying to learn fast. Though still a bit blur with the stock location and a bit scared of using the cashier as she has never used the kinda cash register system that we are using (a lot of other shops are using the normal cash register where u juz key in the price. but we're using barcode cash register system that tracks whatever is sold in the outlet).

Apparently this new girl used to work in the shop just next to our shop in iluma selling jeans and some ladies clothings but I don't remember seeing her (that shop has already shifted out of iluma as someone else has taken over at the start of this month). She'll train in far east for 2 weeks b4 heading down to iluma for a few days. As we already have staffs allocated in each outlet, she's an 'extra' staff as such she'll be running ard outlets basically just far east and iluma (she won't be going to suntec coz there is no crowd there & it's a waste of money to pay staff to sit down there). Between far east and iluma, she'll located more in far east as that is our main outlet. She will only be in iluma for 2 days on the days that our girl allocated in iluma is off.
