Over the past week, there have been loads of the following: yee sang, cookies, soft drinks, packet drinks, eating, eating, eating, EATING! We Malaysians love our food and we hope that you guys enjoyed the Chinese New Year celebrations as much as we did, whether it was to host friends or to be part of the visiting gang…

At the moment, we’re on a eating break until the next festive season comes along and then we’ll probably start again… heheh… yup, we Malaysians really love our food…

But back to blatant© matters, WE’RE BACK! We suppose the common response would be: “So?” Well, we just want to get you excited about the things that will be coming your way….

Firstly, we’ve got 2 NEW designs scheduled to be ready by mid of next week. Once again, the design style and focus will again be something slightly different, so be prepared to be pleasantly surprised!

Secondly, we have once again managed to secure a spot for the March edition of Art for Grabs that will be held at the Annexe Gallery, Central Market.

Date: Saturday, 6th March 2010 - Sunday, 7th March 2010
Venue: Annexe Gallery, Central Market (downtown KL)
Opening hours: 12pm - 8pm

So yes, block out the dates, and keep some of that ang pow money for the new designs…!! Have a great week ahead!

And just like that, it’s already 2 months into 2010 and we’re now going to celebrate Chinese New Year. How times flies eh? =)

No long posts this time, but just to wish everyone….

For those who will be driving, please do drive safely and be conscientious on the road. Happy celebrating and happy holidays!

NOTE: We’ll be closed from Friday, 12 Feb 2010 and we’ll resume business on Monday, 22 Feb 2010.

It’s 2010 and it seems like 2009 flew by so quickly without even saying hello or goodbye… and in fact, now suddenly, it’s already 22 days into 2010!!!! Where does all the time go? =)

Anyways, we’d like start off our first post of 2010 by talking about an event that happened in 2009. Our regular readers would know that our favourite event is the Art for Grabs event that happens at the Annexe Gallery in Central Market almost every other quarter (we think). Anyways, we managed to get a spot there again for the December edition of it and this time, we were afforded a very nice space where we could decorate our place and make it feel like our place…and of course, it wouldn’t be blatant© if we didn’t spend time clowning around now would it? =)

NOTE: As usual, to enlarge the images, please click on the photos

Well, apparently, there are some people who can’t seem to get enough of this clowning around, so we just had to bear with it… (but since she’s the chief creative person, I guess it’s ok lah… we give chance)

This was how our booth looked like…

… we had loads of buyers from all walks of life…

And the very satisfying part was that we were dealing with a predominantly new crowd of people who were introduced to the blatant© of humour and wit…

We were terribly honoured when one of our local writers Amir Muhammad (of “Malaysian Politicians Say the Darndest Things” and “Yasmin Ahmad’s Films” fame) found our t-shirts attractive and bought one for himself! He’s the intelligent looking man on the right in the picture above. Amir, don’t kill us ok? =)

We were having loads of fun just being there, and the happiness was quite apparent don’t you think?

But we have saved the best picture for last. We would like to introduce the most excited new fan that we have seen in blatant© history.

She’s also our youngest customer we’ve ever had. She really liked the t-shirt and insisted her mom get it for her even though it’s a tad bit big for her… after buying it, she wore it on and gave us the wonderful picture above.. =)

We were really tired by the time the 2 day event drew to a close, but we really had so much fun. It wasn’t just the watching our merchandise get appreciated, but we ourselves had a lot of fun exploring the other booths and seeing all the creativity that was there… we actually spent quite a bit on buying a lot of things there as well… heheh…

But anyways, we’ll be back next to tell the story of our KONFEWSD t-shirt, which apparently has gotten more than quite a few people confused, so stay tuned! Have a great weekend and be safe!

We know that Christmas is around the corner… from the release of Jim Carrey’s “A Christmas Carol” to decorations that are starting to sprout all over shopping complexes and shops, it’s quite apparent more and more people are getting ready for it…. =)

For us at blatant©, another tell tale sign that Christmas is coming is when we start getting a flurry of emails asking us where and when they can get our Christmas designs.. we’ve even been getting SMS / text messages reminding us that Christmas is around the corner (and therefore implying that our designs should be out by now)! =)

But anyway, please bear with us because year end madness has descended upon this small little outfit and we’re literally praying for extra hours in a day to get everything done and sorted out. However, regardless of everything that is happening, we will be having our Christmas designs for this year.

More information will be coming your way next week… promise!
Have a great weekend (for the Selangor folks), and happy working for the KL folks…

Hey there everyone.. just in case you were too preoccupied with the WAR t-shirt launch last week that you forgot to read the bottom portion of the post, here’s a plug for our latest location…

blatant© is at Cyberjaya!!!! Specifically, our goods are being sold in Multimedia University Cyberjaya where we’re helping to do fundraising for MMUCS’ upcoming Agape event to held early next year….

Here’s the e-flyer that’s been given sent out and used on blogs…

Cute isn’t it? But anyways, here are TWO GREAT REASONS why you should be heading to Cyberjaya straight away:

1. A portion of the proceeds go directly to helping fund the upcoming Agape event.
2. We hear a little bird tell us that there are DISCOUNTS on our merchandise there….

Well, there’s 1 week left for this fundraising event, so we suggest you go chcek out while stocks last… =)

Have a great week ahead folks!
