The second one was definitely crazier, pulsating with surprises, planned + impromptu. The best bit is we get to meet more new friends as well.

*waves at everyone*

We thank everyone who came, saw + conquered. You peeps were awesome!

Oh and let me introduce the youngest DJ at Bijou Bazaar that weekend: DJ R!!!!


Go DJ! Go DJ! Go DJ!

How to find us?


Happy Tuesday, peeps! Well, what remains of it. :op

To them who has just found us, a very big + warm welcome to all of you! :o)

We are doing another installment of Bijou Bazaar @ Jeumpa D'ramo this weekend y'all! If you don't already know where it is, Jeumpa D'ramo is the white bungalow on Jalan Maarof, Bangsar. It is just at the traffic light junction into Jalan Bangkung.

The address is 102 - 104, Jalan Maarof, Bangsar. Operating hours is from 3 pm till late!

As usual, we'll be having the rainbow wind wheels in front of the bungalow, so that you won't miss it.


In addition to that we are crocheting a tree cosy, which is now looking more like a tree fishnet stockings. Harks!

I guess, trees want to be sexy too right? Tree ... more sexy!!!


Come hangout + shop with us this weekend...

We have over 40 traders this time around, catering for petite + plus size women, men and even them tiny tots! Airplane Systm + Button my Buttons will be having their preview at the bazaar. There are quite a number of crafters selling awesome handmade jewelry + tees (remember my orders, peeps! To friends who envy the stuff I get from the bazaar, it pays to be early). There will be two acoustic sets on Saturday, one in the afternoon + one in the evening. A CDJ will be available for you to experiment with, at a minimum of RM 20 donation for a 1/2 hour lesson/session, you'll need to bring your own headphone + CDs. There's two sets of PS2s to keep the boys entertained.


The Oral Stage troupe will be giving us a sneak preview to their upcoming adaptation of Paula Vogel's 'How I Learned to Drive' on Saturday. There will be sales of music CDs by independent artistes. Jaxen from Rhythm Identity will be conduction a salsa session, all are welcomed to learn to salsa for free on Sunday.

There's an inflatable pool with slides for the tiny tots to play in (and a few water guns for the brave ones).

Come enjoy our mixture of poolside fun at Jeumpa D’ramo from 3 pm till late! Show your love + support to our local young entrepreneurs + talents!

Ask them who were with us at the last installment, we are one crazy fun lot! ... the shopping is even crazier!!! ;o)

Oh folks, and don't forget, although Earth Day was somewhere last month, lets still bring our own shopping bag or reuse old plastic bags ya!

Bursting at the Seams

As much as we want to make space for everyone who wants to flaunt their wares at our bazaar, we are currently bursting at the seams. Unless you've registered your interest earlier, we are not able to accept anymore traders for both Bijou Bazaar @ Jeumpa D'ramo 02 + Bijou Bazaar @ KLue Urbanscapes 2008. We are really, really, really sorry. :o(

Unless you don't mind a car boot sale, literally, at the car park area in front of Jeumpa D'ramo...

Even then, there'll be limited space because Cosmopolitan magazine wants to park their mobile gig + handout giveaways to the crowd.

But, we thank you for the interest + we'll keep you folks posted for our bigger installment, soon, hopefully. :o)

Bijou Bazaar @ Jeumpa D'ramo 02


Bijou Bazaar @ Jeumpa D’ramo is back! Bigger! Crazier! Featuring upcoming independent designers, e-boutiques, rookie crafters, xxx-treme crafters, 80s vintage, secondhand clothing, little knick knacks and of course, food + beverage so that you don't have to drive out for ‘makan’.

Jeumpa D'ramo will be serving their signature murtabak and banana + chocolate popiah. I heard that they may be sourcing for Sosro's Teh Botol and Fruit Tea to be sold at the bazaar. Now I don't have to fly to Jakarta for my Teh Botol fix, hmmmm ... I wonder if they can blend a Jus Alpukat for me.

*salivating*


The Threadszoo Zookeepers will be with us as well! The barabicu chics will be serving us a barbecue buffet spread.

No, no zoo animal will be harmed.

Oh, we need to follow up with the yogurt ice cream people to confirm if they are coming as well.

(Sorry, peeps! I've not had my lunch nor breakfast, hence the food talk first. :op)

Since we are in the Indonesian theme, we're happy to announce that we will be having a preview to Bandung based indie label, Airplane Systm, on Sunday at the bazaar. The full range will be made available during Bijou Bazaar @ KLue Urbanscapes 2008.

Curious?



Want more? Go here http://www.airplanesystm.com/homepage/

On the acoustic stage, we'll be featuring a local DIY band, as they called themselves, which will be doing their Indonesian tour in June 2008, Oh Chentaku!

Initially, they were supposed to share the stage with Yuna (www.myspace.com/yunaroomrecords), but she'll have to attend a family kenduri in Johor that weekend.

Dang!

Let us share with you a video clip of Yuna doing a cover of Oh Chentaku's song, Polaroid, while we continue working to make sure Bijou Bazaar @ Jeumpa D'ramo 02 is way crazier! ;o)
