#ChurpOut2013 was held at the Outdoor Park, Setia City Mall on last Saturday, 19th October 2013. It was a fun-filled event with a turnout of over 4,000 people.
The event started at 11.00AM and the crowd started streaming in where they stop at ChurpChurp's registration counter to get themselves registered. Pre-registered Churpers only needed to show their QR code to get an awesome goodie bag!
After registration, everyone was free to explore the four different zones at #ChurpOut2013 – Market Place, Street Fair, Center Stage and Tech Zone!
1. Market Place
With 25 over fashion vendors participating in #Churpout2013, it's no wonder that the Market Place was crowded with shopaholics from 11-7PM!
Churpers and friends had the opportunity to raid the wardrobes of influential fashion icons such as Audrey Ooi a.k.a. Fourfeetnine and Cheeserland of Foruchizu, and scout for more great deals from various online boutiques such as Street Fashion by Sazzy Falak, Fashion Valet, and more.
After getting a great bargain with enough new clothes for lots of #OOTD sessions, those with growling stomachs feasted like a king as KyoChon, one of our official partners, made their Malaysian debut at #ChurpOut2013. Our Churpers had the chance to be the first to sample the freshest, healthiest chicken from one of South Korea's largest, award-winning fried chicken restaurant franchises!
The booth even attracted tons of fans of Korean mega stars Super Junior, the official ambassadors of KyoChon! Everyone had the chance to win Super Junior merchandise upon participating in games like a chilli chicken challenge, and a tongue twister challenge.
Food lovers were excited as well when they see MAMEE, partnering ChurpChurp for ChurpOut for the second year in a row. At the MAMEE booth, members of the public satiated their hunger with various MAMEE Chef, Mister Potato, and MAMEE Monster products, and got entertained with several games as well.
Of course, it wouldn't be "a street fair with a cause" without our NGO partners! Present at ChurpOut 2013 were also the causes that ChurpChurp supports, such as The Star's RAGE Against Bullying, World Vision, SPCA and MAKNA. If you had missed out the event but would like to make a contribution to any of the organisations, just click on the links and learn more about each cause.
2. Street Fair
Besides shopping and eating, #Churpout2013 provided a carnival atmosphere throughout the day, where festival goers could find many of their favourite childhood carnival games there, such as the ring toss, coconut bowling, hula hoop and even an i Darts machine!
After completing these 5 tasks, Churpers could redeem stamps they collected for cool gifts at the redemption counter, such as Dorinku drinks and a limited edition ChurpChurp badge. Besides that, giveaway sessions were held on ChurpChurp's Twitter and Instagram platforms throughout the day to reward our loyal followers who were present at #Churpout2013.
The Street Fair section was also where art and creativity flourished. 7 Malaysia's most well-loved comic bloggers with 7 distinct styles, Akiraceo, CheeChingy, Ernest Ng, Bolehland, Ericleeh, Ms Bulat and Kendylife entertained the crowd with their caricatures drawn on illustrating papercraft.
The highlight of the street fair was undoubtedly the #ChurpBungee! Our Churpers were thrilled to find that the reverse bungee ride was FREE as all they had to do was to either tweet or flash their LINE app for a turn on the ride.
Things got heated at 5.00PM as our ChurpChurp Alphas (Linora Low, Jeremy Teo, Aida Sue, Dennis Yin, Reuben Kang, Dan Khoo, Chelsia Ng, Redmummy) each took the #ChurpBungee challenge head on and got catapulted into space!
And to relive our first ever #ChurpOut, we brought back kite flying to #ChurpOut2013.
For those feeling a little low, giant bubbles were there to cheer everyone up.
3. Center Stage
Food, fashion and games weren't all that ChurpOut 2013 had to offer, as we also showcased a number of talented local performers that day.
First up was the cheerleading troupe Cheer Aces, who wowed the crowd with their energetic performances.
In the evening, K-pop dance group, Epsilon showed the crowd the new definition of "sexy".
The Capoeira group, Grupo Capoeira Cordão de Ouro Malaysia also gave Malaysians a taste of something different with their performance.
Meanwhile, William Sin and the Sunshine Ukulele Kids serenaded everyone with soothing tunes at the Center Stage.
A street fair is incomplete without street art, so for ChurpOut2013, we teamed up with Nusantara Edaran Filem and local graffiti artist Kenji Chai for a special "umbrella graffiti" display, in conjuction with the upcoming release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire!
Kenji gave 26 umbrellas his personal touch with graffiti to spell out "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire". Besides the umbrella graffiti, Kenji also put a spin on a dress inspired by Katniss' in Catching Fire, designed exclusively by Gilbert Ng.
4. Tech Zone
Our Churpers definitely did not miss the opportunity to get their free photos taken at the WOW Photobooth as a cool souvenir from #ChurpOut2013!
The overcast skies did not stop our enthusiastic Churpers and friends from enjoying themselves at #ChurpOut2013.
We would like to thank every single one of you who came out that day to join us at #ChurpOut2013. For more awesome pictures of the event, check out Churp Churp.
