YOU INSPIRED US, THANK YOU!

Dear Readers,

Thank you for all the articles written about us after the major let down @ Lot 10. Something good will come up soon. Lets wait and see. However, we cant help but to feel thankful to these folks who have taken time to write long articles about us. We dont hate them at all. Serious!

We feel sorry that some have thought that we 'let' some of them down, and its not their fault to feel very upset (we're upset too). Especially when some of them joined us for the very first time.

This incident has given us an inspiration. Hence, we already have some plan rolled up in our sleeves, we will execute them one by one :-)

We dont believe in flyers to promote our events as most people would toss them into bins (been there, done that), we are thinking of a better one, and currently working on it.

And speaking of ethics and although its subjective, we gain nothing by being unethical. Do not be swayed by some 'reality' TV series which was meant to purely entertain you :-) We always shared the truth and though truth is not always welcomed, its better than keeping it hidden from you.


Thanks again for the inspiration. Your articles gives us ideas :-)

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GETS GOING

Say what you want, you may think we're some sadist people. Come on! after the chaotic cancellation last week we should at least wrapped ourselves in a cocoon, go jump of the cliff, or at least stay off the radar for a few years?

While we're waiting what's next from the Lot 10 peeps - we have just got to move on.

Entreprenuerial spirit is unstoppable. Just like Billy Ocean's song title (yeah, we're old fashioned),'When the going gets tough, the tough gets going...' We take every obstacles with pride. Well, the sun always shine after a bad thunderstorm right?

We will back soon. Stay tune for updates. Dont worry, you will still find us in KL (town area), as mentioned by some of you - you want TRAFFIC! So we will try to fulfil that :-)

As mentioned earlier - if you hate us, your perrogative. We have stayed true to what we believe in and will not stop until we achieve that.

To end this post, here's a portion of the lyric to feast your eyes :-)

When the going gets tough

The tough get going, tough, tough

When the going gets tough, the tough get ready

Yeah, ooooh, du da do da

I got something to tell you

I got something to say

I'm gonna put this dream in motion

Never let nothing stand in my way

When the going gets touch

The tough get going

I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river

That's the price I'm willing to pay

I'm gonna make you stand and deliver

And give me love in the old-fashion way

Woooh

Darlin', I'll climb any mountain

Darlin', I'll do anything......

WE GOT SHOT!

Yes, we have seen it all. The complaints, the feedbacks, even bad words thrown at us (spammed chat box) and everything in between.

No, we are not seeking any sympathy at all - we dont have anything to hide either, we are transparent through and through. For those who knew us, we are more than ready to share on why it happens.

If we were truly that bad - some of you wouldnt have joined us. We wouldnt resorted to refunding people's fees when something like this happens. We might as well run away and hide! For what? That's just not who we are. We have done our due diligence, we informed all via email and text messages. It was done at the very last hour, for we received the news very very late too. Imagined looking forward to the event and being at the supplier's getting ready with canopy and fixtures, only to be told (via text message) that the management have decided to postpone the event (or cancelled - no difference!) to a much later date? Imagined waiting for the venue provider representative in the middle of the night who promised to come but did not show up at all. All this happened the night before.

For those who didnt not received text message from us, that is because we do not have your number with us. Perhaps you did not register directly under Youthopia but with our co-organizer.

We reasoned things out with the provider only to be told that their decision is final. We are not only greatly affected for all the promotional materials we printed and goodies to be distributed - we even had ALL of you in mind when all these negotiations took place!

Of course we knew you are all prepared, baked your goodies, stocked up, etc! We were traders before, of course we will feel upset, cheated, conned etc. Because of this, we had no choice but to bring this matter up to the higher management of the mall for the impact is truly unbelievable!. We have never ever sent a nasty email before - but we did. If its any consolation - the matter is currently under their attention. We shall see what comes out of it. If need be, we might bring it to the press.

To those who think we suck, please do yourselves and ourselves a favour - dont join us - ever. Serious. We do not want to take your money either. We do not want to mislead you with empty promises that you will make big bucks or your stall will be swarmed with people who is dying to get your stuff when you join us. Dont do that. We do not want you to spam our chatbox later and accused us this & that. Dont waste your time. We will refund you (if you are one of the traders for 20/21 June) and please go.

Its human nature to blame the organizers when things gone wrong - not everyone knows things that happened behind closed doors to ensure that the bazaars that you all join - happens! The lucky ones will managed to pull through - but its not bed of roses for them either.

Its not our habit to point fingers at coorganizers, etc - in fact, fact is a fact - why hide the facts when its the truth? The truth is only known to us and the people that we have dealt with - of course you wouldnt know because you were not part of the negos right?

Unfortunately, we can't tell what others have in mind. Those who thought that we should have foreseen all these from happening (we should have third eye) or should defy all rules and regulations when dealing with venue providers, perhaps you were right. We should have run miles and miles aways when we 'smell' it. But being an opportunist, we always give others the benefit of the doubt. That is probably our biggest mistake.

We're beginning to think we were probably jinxed. Perhaps we are too nice to be taken for granted.

Like a true opportunists, we will not give up just because this happened. We are not perfect either. We never said we are.

For those who believed in us - who knew us, who stood by us, thank you for the support. For those who dont, and hated us for whatever reasons known to you - its okay too. No two humans are alike and we cant control what you want to say or do.

Thank you again for all the feedback and God Bless your kind souls!

Luv,

Youthopian Team

SORRY!

We regret that due to the unprofessional manners by Lot 10 peeps - have affected us greatly which led to the cancellation of June's event.

We were only told at the very last hour before canopy set up and we've never felt upset!

We have brought this matter to the attention of their management - as it is unethical to postpone the event at the very last hour before set up especially when all of us already made the preparations.

We have buntings, posters and banners printed already and its now becoming scraps - and now become no use! We have goodies to give away but now we are saddled with all of them at home!

To all good traders - we are in the same boat just like you. Let us stay united and show these peeps that we may be small traders but we are not weak!

Heartfelt apologies to all who look forward to visit us, we knew some of you look forward to visit us in this event and Thank you so much for those who believed in us and supported us all the way.

Sincerely,

Youthopian Team

LOOK OUT FOR THIS!

Folks,

Look out for this poster/bunting when you come visit us this 20 & 21 June, 2009!

Because, it's where YOUTHOPIA is!

See y'all soon!

JULY 11 & 12, 2009 REGISTRATION - OPEN NOW!

First of all, we're terribly sorry for the unexpected minor hiccup...the postponement announcement that took place just 2 days ago. Some of you were surprised, but really its beyond our power and we also ensure that we inform you at least 2 weeks - not days so you can plan the necessary. Of course, we cant take into account on everyone's schedule. So is the date 20 & 21 June 2009 for REAL? You bet!!! We fought tooth & nail for the date...so yes! muahaha!

Its better that we inform all participants now than later - furthermore, had we continue to do it on 13/14 June - we will need to face another 'music'- No electricity. So we better be safe than sorry and let the maintenance folks do their job.

In view of that, we're giving away a special RM20 discount fee to ALL our existing traders if they intend to participate again (July 2009). We might be revising the joining fee after the first instalment (June). We will put up the newly revised fee on the website real soon.

ANYWAYS, the participation to join JULY's event (same location) is NOW OPEN!

Already, we have a few on board for JULY 11 & 12th, HURRY!!

Luv,

Youthopian Team
