A event that many people have been looking forward to, around beginning of the year the media has been publishing it's news. Many people have been sharing in FB about the event and tagging friends that they have to go to this event.
Oh well I'm one of them that was looking forward to it and wanted to go. But deep in my heart I know it's going to be crowded like shit. What's more the event 1st day is a public holiday some more. Lagi more crowded right? Knowing Singaporean being Kiasu all want to be the 1st one to see the event to share in their social media. Aiyo all chiong there on a 1st day lah! Then after that, all starts to complain in their social media the event sucks to the max. Oh well I really pity the event organiser, but got noise better than no noise lah. Be it good or bad, people will still come de.
As a event organizer before I know the pain of organizing a new event. So I felt people's complain about the event was just too hash. Or I should say they over expected the event? People put Bangkok's standard into Singapore's. Come on lah Singapore price via Bangkok you want to compare sure or not? Lol Some of the vendor that was fly in here you can't expect them to sell the same price as Bangkok right? How they earn? You want that price fly over to Bangkok loh. Then people complain walkway too small too much people. As I mentioned before PH leh 1st day leh of cause crowded lah then again Bangkok's market walkway all also so small lah you didn't complain there? Seriously I felt people are asking too much.
Above are just my personal thoughts to the event, I felt it has been quite nice to have such event in Singapore. Singapore is already quite boring, so we should be more encouraging to the events. I felt the set up is quite nicely done really.
I went to the event in the 2nd weekend Friday afternoon. So less crowded as most people are at work and afternoon time is damn hot ah! Some of the store wasn't ready yet still setting up but never mind, I just wanted to be here to experience the event. I walked around the store see what they are selling and their pricing. Also saw the super long queue for the Instagram worthy drink, didn't queue for it because I know where got sell and no need to queue so long. hahaha So many store were selling Thai Milk tea, I basically see Thai Milk tea everywhere.
Spend a $6 for the "Ice" just for fun, took photo and then left the place within half hour. A super quick walk around as I really couldn't take the heat any more. haha Going there alone is also good too haha hubby didn't want to go there as he know he wouldn't buy anything and he wouldn't enjoy it.
Overall I still feel it's a good event, just that we have over expected it as comparing with Bangkok. Of cause there are still some parts of it to improve on but I personally still till it is a nice event. Good try. Hoping to see more different events in SG.
