  ok..guys.. need yr help now.......
  
  i think before i even think of where to sell i need to test water first...
  just checking out the market and testing the feasibility...
  
  will u buy roses for yr gf?
  if so, will u buy from shop?
  what colours of roses will u buy? ie.. red? pink? blue? champagne white?
  if u have not bought any yet, wil u buy "off-hand" from someone who is selling along the streets?
  how much are u willingly to pay for such a purchase? (ie fr someone on the streets)
  if the price is cheaper than what the shops are selling? will u still buy from the shop?
  
  yr help will be much appreciated... thanks......

  Yup... usually people who buy stuff on the spur of the moment or on the spot, would be more inclined to buy if the value isn't that high. So something small and cute (and thus cheaper) might be easier to sell.
  
  I think your best bet would be outside shopping centers, near restaurants.
  
  Or you can bug couples at Mt Faber ... keep bugging them till they buy just so you leave

  issit??u think so ar...?
  coz i feel that stalk is not very appealing to me..... looks kindda of "cheapo" and insincere if a guy were to buy if for me.. (then again, some might argue that its the thoughts that counts)
  
  u know.. if package it like very nice n cute.. the gfs might have a tendency to ask bf to buy......
  
  maybe i shld have some stalks to cater for such ppl.......and cute and nice designs for others........
  
  if that's the case.....i guess i need to be station somewhere.. and cant move ard.....
