How was your weekend?

'How was your weekend?' ehehehe mine was good...could be better though...but it's all good :D

My weekend was spent at the LelongLelong bazaar in Asia Cafe SS15, the weather was suprisingly kind...no rain..no thunderstorm...no heat stroke...OK rite? The booths are covered with canopies with only a few left unshaded but a little bit of sun tanning is healthy I reckon :P There were a lot of familiar faces so it practically felt like gathering of vendors for me...I guess I can say that this bazaar is getting substantial support from us.

The organizer is briliant in securing Asia Cafe as the venue, the place is strategically located, visible for pedestrians and students are seen flooding the place all the time (I see the same customers returning to this place for 2 days in a row, taking their time browsing and surveying the goodies and pricing) With this kind of visibility and with the power of WOM (word of mouth), getting good response from customers is a breeze compared to some bazaars which are hidden in some buildings *thumbs up for Biatch Bible*

Though the place was swarmed with people, sales did not come easy. With mostly customers being students, they were excellent in their negotiating skills...better than me when I was a student donkey years ago AHAHAHAH!

For this bazaar, I made a very last minute booking, so I was not given much choice for the booth selection. I got the last booth...so I took it without checking the floor plan. Came that Saturday morning, I wanted to dig a hole and just disappear beneath my booth when I saw my very-near-just-opposite neighbour was one of the big players in vintage clothing...NoOo...I was dejected. Looking at their well equipped, full range of vintage and crazy pricing...I felt like a tiny ant, just about to be squashed. Well, I don't know how and I don't know why but I survived. In fact, I dare say that my sales was better than theirs. Although it doesn't mean anything to them (they didn't look like they care), most probably they were being invited to participate in the bazaar for FREE and they have gotten their return of investment long ago but I felt good. I realized that it was silly of me to be afraid of them. Afterall, we are all vendors.

Like many other bazaars these days, LelongLelong is also adopting the green factor which is to encourage no usage of plastic bags. Unfortunately, many vendors were still using plastic bags, even when clearly some customers were already bringing their own eco-friendly bags or carrying shopping bags, big enough to fit a house! I wish vendors will take a moment to reflect on our role in supporting this go green policy and not just faking it solely for the credit of their names.

That's all on my little unofficial post mortem...Sorry folks, no pictures this round, my photographer ran away to compete for his paintball tournament >.<

Next up, watch out for a big SpOoOky event end of this month.

Fish Has Bags

A little bit off the track, I have started all this blogging frenzy several months ago, all in the name of helping out a friend who is trying to venture into online business, selling 100% leather handbags...well and of cos with curiosity always killing the cat but in my case, fortunate enough there wasn't any casualties, it was more like a pet project for me. Back then, when the ranting mood is switched on or the 'writing worm' has caught up with me (that is how I used to explain to my boyfriend), I would start blogging and that leaves me having more than one account...blogspot, wordpress, virtual diary and even using the traditional notepad...AhHAHAH but I will always lose the momentum after a few posts. So now that I have finally found a reason to update a blog regularly, it isn't so bad after all ^__^ One thing leads to another and not long after, I have decided to create my own blog, a virtue online store for vintage, simply because I fell in love with vintage and I still am falling in love with these gorgeous dresses!

Since, managing 2 blogs is virtually a waste of time and effort, I have decided to move these fabulous bags, making them available right here! *TaDaAa*!!!
