Flea Market

I love watching home improvement or makeover shows on TV. Especially those that are challenged to do in a very specific and tight budget and time. The designers will tend to be innovative and creative, by finding cheap and bargain items in flea markets or yard sales and start to improving them and using them in a way that sometimes our simple minds couldn't think of.

After watching those shows, I will always complaint to mom that there's no flea market in Kota Kinabalu, only rombengan that sells bundles of (used?) clothes. Some other usual complaint by me is "Why is there any flea markets or yard sales in KK?" "We have to buy everything in retail price!" or "Gaya Street is not flea market as they mostly sell handicraft."

Yes, yes. I know. I complains. A lot.

Good news! There'll be a bazaar/flea market in Kota Kinabalu! And it's going to be indoor, which means fully airconded!

It is said that it will be like the flea markets I always see on TV. Well, not as elaborate and huge. It is just starting out, so the stalls are limited. But that's good enough for me! And the products will be at bargain price, that is what important!

I'm aware I sounded like one of those moms that hunt for discount coupons and bargains but I don't care.

I don't expect to see furniture yet. But I expect to find clothes, accessories, plants, food and artworks.

Oh, did I mention my friend will be there too? He'll be promoting his photography, design and print business, InsideArts.

The bazaar will be held on 14 & 15 November, at the Ground Floor, Lintas Station, Lintas Plaza. Kota Kinabalu people has to know where this is. If not, you need to revoke your citizenship. It is the same building as RHB Bank and 7-Eleven, and in the same area as Yo-Yo Cafe & Salim Restaurant.

Darn, I'm so excited that I can't focus on my revision for my exams!
