THE Enspired Bazaar in Subang Square SS15 is a popular spot for those looking for bargains and curio items.
The bazaar, which operates thrice weekly, sells exotic animals, including snakes, scorpions, spiders, iguanas, hamsters and sugar gliders but specialises mostly in the sale of clothes and accessories.
Recently, the bazaar, which started in March 2008, received visits from two celebrity bloggers and a hitz.fm cruiser.
Celebrity bloggers Cheesie from cheeserland.com and Kuala Lumpur food and graphics blogger "KYspeaks" from kyspeaks.com dropped by on Sept 12, and spent some time visiting the various stalls and taking photos, which they hoped to upload on their blogs.
Among those who set up booths at the bazaar that day was Subang Jaya resident Yvonne Foong Ming Niang, 23, who came to sell T-shirts and her book which she hopes will generate enough money to fund her upcoming surgery to remove a brain tumour in December.
Born with Type 2 neurofibromatosis, Foong has so far raised RM113,248.01 out of the RM154,704.42 required for the operation.
Foong is the "2005 AYA Dream Malaysia’s Most Outstanding Youth of the Year Award" winner and her book titled I’m Not Sick, Just A Bit Unwell is a memoir about life with neurofibromatosis.
Handbag critic and specialist Alice Wonders also visited the bazaar to launch a lucky draw handbag giveaway, which will award one winner with a handbag for free from Alice’s Vintage and Designer Inspired collections every Saturday at the bazaar.
Two days later, a hitz.fm cruiser crew and the station’s radio announcer Jin rolled into the bazaar to give out FHM magazines, 7-Up Revive, Domino’s Pizza vouchers and free tickets to the Black Eyed Peas’ concert on Sept 25 to excited shoppers.
Enspired Bazaar operates permanently in Subang Square SS15 every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 10am to 7pm.
There’s now an early bird rate for those interested in opening a stall here. The rates are RM50 a day on Mondays and Wednesdays, RM60 for Saturday or RM45 for stalls opening on both Mondays and Wednesdays of the same week.
Interested traders should call 012-211 2347 or 016-979 0411 for enquiries, or email enspired.events@gmail.com with the subject Subang Square followed by the stall dates interested.
