A Fish I Like: November 2009

Halloween was a blast for me last weekend. It was a fun-filled Saturday with lotsa goodies, yummy muffins, awesome coffee, cute pumpkin lights, a lost bunny and a-not-so-scary grim reaper. We, vendors celebrated Halloween with A Shopaholic's Den at The Crest, 3 Two Square and of course with lotsa happy shoppers too :).

Both ASD and Fashionista's Bazaar definitely deserves the thumbs up in this event. I don't know about you, but organizing this bazaar in an excellent air conditioned area, good lighting, squeaky clean washrooms and simple yet 'champion' sound system filling up the place with happy-cheery music, what more can you ask for? I was a happy vendor there. Having said that, and not starting any bitchy ranting session, I noticed that some of the vendors were having some difficulties in finding their own booths. Perhaps we are being pampered by other organizers who will label the booths with our names/booking numbers but it will definitely minimize the hassle of having to refer to the floor plan and list of vendors which were printed on A4 size papers, pasted at the entrance of the bazaar.

Besides that, some of the customers and friends pointed out that the place was quite difficult to locate and there was no clear instructions indicating the location of the bazaar. Being a first timer visiting The Crest, I was a little bit lost too that morning but having my 'walking GPS' aka the boyfriend around, it was not an issue for me *winkz*. Maybe some banners or flyers might help in this case :).

Vendors or I would prefer to refer them as young entrepreneurs are getting more creative by the day. Throwing contest to win tickets to the All American Reject (AAR) concert and displaying their own custom made halloween props was a success in drawing attention from the crowd. Bravo to the girls from Bikini Republic! Check out the pictures below ya...I absolutely adore...no..I fell in LOVE with the cute white casper look-alike dollie but too bad it ain't for sale :(. Another excellent win-win cooperation I have witnessed in this event was the participation from Bad Ass Coffee. Not only they promoted their delicious coffee, bagels and doughnuts, they also provided their lunch-in service for the vendors. Imagine this => Bad Ass guy walk around with the menu, vendors order their lunch and wola! lunch will be delivered to your booth...steaming hot. One word, brilliant.

Although the crowd kinda dispersed during noon time (no thanks to the rain!) and I just about managed to cover the rental. All in all, it was a rather good day. I will definitely return for the next ASD event *Griinz* To my regular customer (you know who you are), thank you for making time to visit me at the event. And I hope you love all the dresses you bought :D. If you are reading this, remember to get your fishie discount card from me next time...I will safeguard it for now ya...eheheheheh :P.

Wokay...pictures time!
