The Mega Flea Market 11 (Suntec City)

The Mega Flea series of tradeshow bazaars seemed always to surprise me. It amazes me because what seemed like a repeat of a similar event could have such interesting vendors all the time and merchandises so varied that I was excited because i found some really interesting stuffs.

Location, Environment & Atmosphere Well, the atmosphere was one that is laced with excitement, while coming up from the escalators, you could already spot signs leading you to the flea and as you approach the entrance, be greeted by some partners with booths and contest. Be a winner before you actually enter the flea hall. Globby's instagram contest was one that was fun while you could take a pic with the cute props with the Mapwerkz team at the Gumtree background while enjoying a yummy cup of ice cream with compliments from Gumtree.

The hall was well air-circulated and tables neatly arranged in columns with ample spaces at each lane for shoppers to crowd and move around. The entire atmosphere was filled with excitement, while you could hear one vendor explaining their merchandises and another customer asking for a discount. Haggling and laughters was pretty ample here and vendors were relaxed even when the crowd builds to a traffic jam around some booths.

Merchandises and Vendors I was really surprised to meet a few really interesting booths and as I do not want the review to sound like my grandfather's bedtime story, I would keep my lengthy descriptions to the #TMFM11 Post event article..

I found these exceptionally good handmade skincare products (Passionately Handcrafted) which is made of extremely good ingredients such as a concoction of natural oils (eg. grapeseed) and for the scrub i found elderberry extract which is a pretty rare ingredient to be used and somewhat an expensive one. Another booth across the hall promoted to me handmade soap from Ipoh with a history of more than 3 generations (Sabunim) that are made with pure coconut oil and can laterally rejuvenate your skin. The power of pure coconut oil is simply amazing and friendly to sensitive skin.

(The dorsal effect) is another interesting booth. Passionate with a clear and concise goal in mind, the team offers eco-tours to the island Lombok, off Bali, Indonesia, offering business to laid back fishermans so that they do not need to kill endangered sharks just to make ends meet.

(ISported) a newly designed app also made their debut at this flea, offering free downloads with wristbands for your favourite world cup teams. The app is intelligent enough to tell you where you can go nearby, be it a pub or McDonalds to watch football leagues without causing a fight at home.

Preloved Stores Fashion has always been a big hit for fleas but this time round I spotted more preloved booths with eager and friendly, trendily dressed ladies selling their preloved fashionable stuffs. Love their vibe and the easy going attitudes. What more, i found not only clothes and beautiful dresses and accessories, books and household items were also selling off fast. One such booth is made up of intelligent team of Malay family when their items were lovely and well organised, they even brought along a mic and speaker to boost their presence. Love the teamwork and the fun element they brought to the flea.

It was extremely enjoyable and out of so many fleas, this one got me into the buying mood and most items that I got were such good bargain, i was practically holding on to me cheesy grin the whole time i was shopping. Featuring many trendy and useful stuffs.. this is one of those memorable fleas for me and of course more stuffs to give away to make way for even more beautiful stuffs... LOVED THE EXPERIENCE and WILL COME BACK FOR MORE!
