Hey! It's TogetherLAH! campaign's first main event! What is it? It's the Lokal Bazaar! Isn't it exciting? After Global Branding and Identity lecture, we head to the boulevard, college link bridge and the walkway respectively to get into our positions. Although I'm not on the job today, I have to help out my department- research and evaluation team, to collect surveys for those who drop by at our booths at the college boulevard.
Most of us are at the boulevard to help to set up the photo booth in collaboration with MY Home Gallery for our social media photo contest. I sit on the round bench at the boulevard with my own "personal booth". The time is still early, only a few students drop by to check out the booths. Don't forget we have food as well, such as our signature onde-onde, cakes from Good Memories cake house, muruku to make your tummy happy! Not enough? Head over to the walkway between the college and univerity, there are four food vendors selling Malaysians' all-time favourites- nasi lemak and satay!
We all know that when it comes to food, Malaysians love to have a good treat! If you missed our publicity week, fret not! Because here's your second chance to write your "love letters" to Malaysia. It's located at the college link bridge.
On the second day of the bazaar, no vendors is around at the college boulevard because it's MUFY's (Monash University Foundation Year) Sharity carnival. We still do have the food trucks along the walkway of the campus. Since I'm a MUFY alum myself (class of 2016), why not head over to promote the campaign to my former lecturers and juniors? It's gonna be a win-win promotion! Double the event, double the promotion!
Besides our campaign, there are few booths beside ours. One of them is the Chinese Cultural Society (SUCSS), they are promoting their singing competition finals. I manage to get two of them from the society to write their message on our Jalur Gemilang expression board. They even buy two unity ribbons.
What is the unity ribbon? The unity ribbon is a project by Projek 57. It's exactly like the national flag but only it's in the form of the ribbon, it also has our Father of Independence and first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman at the side of it. All the profits will be going to the foundation to help the orang asli children to receive education. We'll also doing charity at the same time, because the orang asli is also part of the Malaysian community. Not to mention that our onde-onde is a big hit of the bazaar. We manage to sell all of them!
On the third and final day of the bazaar, everyone gathers at the college boulevard because we are having a photo shooting session. I'm in charge with the attendance. The next hour before the bazaar starts, we put up all the signs around campus and make sure everything is in top form. As the time is near 10.00am, Chivonne and I head up to the college link bridge to start our duty.
My job is to wave the flag to attract people and pull some students over to complete our Jalur Gemilang expression board. At one point we lost count the number of sticky notes written, there are too many of them. Nonetheless, we manage to keep track. Since it's the last day of the bazaar, we promote our stickers at just only RM 1!
Once my shift is done, I head to the library to chill off due to the scorching heat. When I head back to the link bridge, they are lacking of manpower at the college boulevard. All that walking sure make my tummy rumbling. I bought lok lok from Mei Tuan food delivery! To get a 50% discount, all you have to do is to like and follow their Facebook page and Instagram account. We also have a lucky draw too! Who knows you might get a cash prize? The good news is the unity ribbon which we collaborate with Projek 57 have all sold out!
The three-day Lokal Bazaar is a success! Thank you for those who drop by to support the campaign, I'm sure you have a happy tummy after tasting all the delicious food we have throughout the bazaar.
