Venue: Berjaya Time Square, Kuala Lumpur
This is the debut of valerieyan's creation to the public and I was glad I was there with her for the full 2 days, helping her (in my own way cause I know nuts about art & craft). This was the first time I've ever attended any creative bazaar and it was really a fun experience.
First of all, please take some time to visit Valerie's blog to view her amazing creations: ValerieYan's Creation
What is C+C? This is a new word that is about to lead the trend of the new words.
C+C starts a new creative platform for Malaysian youths to have a truly creative space, display and share your creative ideas and design. Whether it is a little creative household supply, a work of art or even a picture worth a thousand words, C+C will be your creative platform, where you can certainly liberate and express your creativity. You have been to the yellow brand furniture shop, you’ve seen enough of cool idea of foreigner, and you thought they were cool and great? How come such idea has never inspired by you? Or perhaps, we were too used to rigid life. We think less, we do not imagined and at the end, we can only manage to envy foreign brands and design? C+C tends to gather the innovative dream of Malaysian youngster, make these dreams no longer a fiction, but a truly achievable piece, make yourself, make other to feel and share your dream (masterpiece). C+C is bearing this mission, hoping to educate more creative youngster. We aim to discover more creative people all around Malaysia, let everyone make this special event a big success! If you think you have a creative mind, if you’re trying to become somebody who can lead the latest trend, then you are the one we are looking for! Meantime, C+C is also a charity organization. While being creative, we helped the weak group as well. C+C remind us on loving the society, caring about any living creature, regardless it is a child, an old folk, a youth or even kittens and puppies, we can only gain more by giving what we have. Let us practice the thought of rising environment protection awareness in the medium of innovative. C+C hopes people who join the contest can try to connect recycle idea in their work. All of us have the responsible to protect our environmental!
Valerie's creations are all hand made clay craft. She displayed her ready made items on these days but her creations are not limited to only these. Shall you require her to customize anything, she can do it for you, of course with a cost. Need something special as a gift for a special occasion, drop by her blog, view her work to gain confidence, and lastly, contact her for a fast response on your need.
I'll stop the hard sell now and carry on with my own story :)
Valerie got a booth and shared it with her coursemate, Priscilla. All rental from the booth goes into the few selected charity organizations. Priscilla's work involves stitching. For more information, you can visit her blog: rose❤mints
Anyway, we arrive Time Square at around 10am, on the first day to register and after that, set up the booths. The event officially starts at 11am but most of the participants had already finished setting up so we hurried and decorated ours. Since it was the first time we had ever participated in an creative bazaar, our booth seems "ordinary", compared to most others. However, the items that we had displayed were definitely on par with others, or maybe even better (self encouragement XD). On the second day, things seem to be easier as we only need to set up the booth as the previous day.

On a rough estimation, I suppose there were easily 50-60 booths, most were selling hand made craft and there were a few booths set up by charity organizations to instill the correct mindset to help save the Earth. The crowd was simply amazing.
The crowd...
Since I was at Valerie's booth most of the time helping her, I didn't take any photos of other booths although I did spend a little time walking around to check out works by others. As I mentioned, this was the first time I attended an creative bazaar and there were so many things that I haven't seen before. I guess I'll be attending creative bazaar more often after this.
The organizer had also arranged performances and games to entertain the crowd on both days. These included performances by local artists, talk show hosted by DJ/VJ from 8TV, dance performance, martial art performance etc. The high school I attended, Chong Hwa Independent High School sent out students as well to perform drama, singing, dancing as well as Wu Shu. Taekwondo performance was done by Zest Martial Arts Academy, arranged by my Taekwondo senior, Mr. Andy Low.
