Fleamarket at Macam Macam

I had always wanted to try selling in a flea market, and finally i took the step.

Searching online for quite sometimes on a cheap location, and well, i'm lucky to go for Macam Macam Flea market at IMH (institution of Metal Health).
It simply cost $10 for a stall and i was lucky to get it before it was taken up fully.


Well as a newbie, i'm not too sure what to sell, but my main aim is to clear all my unwanted stuff and balance stock that i had left over from my blog shop previously. So i think should not be that hard to get back my $10 rental right.

Before the day arrive, i'm rather excited and try to see how i should place my items and setup to be nice appealing to attract people to my stall.

So well that is how my stall look like:

Trying to arrange it at Home

On the actual day of event

Isn't that lovely and sweet? Overall, it was quite lucky that quite a number of people bought from me at this quiet neighborhood.

But the weather was rather hot, and lucky we were well prepare with cold icy water.

So if you are a newbie and wanted to try out fleamarket, i would say try Macam Macam. Overall is the experience that make the whole thing fun.

Whoohoo... We won in Ladies Bowling Champion

As per the tittle stated... Whoohoo... We won the Bowling Champion.
But frankly speaking, we are not expert in it.
Don't expect me to hit like 200pts per game... if so, I will start changing my job to be full time bowler. (haha)

But getting to Champion really need to put in some effort. Especially I'm the lousy type that don't even know how to walk and throw properly.
Strike and spare is usually by my lady luck of the day. Imagine the points I get can get as low as 85pts/game... haha then you shall know where my standard is.

Our first training for team selection

Enjoying our 2nd training session

The first training session, our WEC was so enthusiastic that we would like to practice 3 games.
By the time i start the 2nd game, my back and tight start to cramp and walk like an old lady.
This is really a tough sport for me, but after getting the hang of it, I'm choosen to represent our team base on overall scoring I got forth in place.

Getting a place in it seems to be a nightmare for me as that mean I'm the lousiest in the team which may drag my whole team down. So secretly I ask hubby to guide me one night, and he start shaking his head... I can't be that bad right.

Finally the actual day arrive and I start to feel the pressure especially my team leader is determine to win the champion. Oh gosh, I hope i wont pull the team overall points down.

Every ball throw I need to take a deep breathe and focus really hard on it.... and tada.... I make it.
Me and my leader had the same top score in our team and overall we are individual 2nd placing.
With that, our team had make to the team champion which make me finally relax.

When we determine to do something, focus on it, and we sure can make it.

If there's a will, there's a way

Singapore Garden Festival

Early in July, Singapore Garden Festival was held in Suntec Convention hall.
It had been years I had not attend. But this year, I was lucky enough that mums friends offer me a ticket.

Before you enter the hall, outside was fully decorated with real flowers and plants.
Out of sudden I'm immerse in a wonderful garden...which I also wish Singapore whether will be as cooling like the convention hall so that I have more chances out in the park.

Rain Forest Theme

I really feel like immerse in a virtual world.. creative designer had turn a small area into a beautiful gardern

Then I came to s section, and seriously I dont know what is this flower. But I just wish I can bring one stalk back too.

Trying to Camwhore with the beautiful background I stood at.






Seriously, if the event is held again, I will attend again.
It is really a hard work for those designer and planters...
Oh Ya, even there are student from local school having contest for the flower arrangement.
I was really impress for a 10yr old child work... as recalling back... I feel ashame as in my child hood days.. I dont even know what is flower arrangement, let alone to come out with a beautiful piece of work.

Many people had specially dress up in leopard skins, safari wear except me... hehe.

The event was hold once a year in celebration for the Women Integration Network (WIN).

Okay this dinner is not only the usual DND style where you will go there eat and run off.

We are doing good deed at the same time.

Below pictures will explain.

Before the Dinner, if you notice my earlier post, we have been busy decorating the teddy bears so that we are able to put up the bear for adoption. All $$ that are been collected will go to the HIV children where it will help them.

Of course, this round we had also set a target of 1240 decorated bears to be put in the Singapore Book of Record.

Bears that we decorated

I'm like in a beary land. There is so many adorable bears, and I just wish to grab and hug each one. Well, with so many nice bear around, it shall be my favorite activity to take place... Yes.. Camwhoring.

Ai Kwan & I

The event start rolling off by having a native dance.

Everyone was so excited about it. It was really grand one and the food was rather delicious.

Games were play and I got to have pictures with Mr Yam Ah Mee too.

Anyway, the most excitement for us was to listen to the award winning bear... wondering are our bears able to win a position out. With 1240 bears, where it needs to stand out is not really easy.

And finally, when come to the award for the most sporty bear..... Hooray, our skiing bear won the 3rd place.

Is that nice???

Super enjoy during the dinner as we had lots of fun and chat. really wish to join again next year. :)

I was so looking forward for the day and hoping darling will buy a small gift for me. [Cause he had not get me anything for Valentine day ( *_*o)]
I keep hoping until i'm about to fall asleep and shift my pillow... I shouted... who that idiot that throw a box of chocolate on my bed... arghh.

As I open the box is a gift, with a gift card

Haha... good wish... Love it.

Guess what is inside the box??? Is a box of SKII which I been wishing to get hold of it.

Darling specially buy this set for me as I keep mentioning it since last year but just can't pinch my heart to go ahead and made the purchase. I finally got it... having a mix feeling of happy and heart ache at the same time.

This set is really good start up kit for those that want to try or as a gift. So below is what included in the box.

A bottle Facial Treatment Essence 75ml, A bottle of facial treatment clear lotion and a facial treatment mask.

So today is time to have nice food... where I really missed it... Marche @ 313 Somerset. I love the environment and the food portion is really big enough to be share.

Once you enter Marche, you will feel like in farm stay, away from the hectic life. With the fresh market concept, it just made your appetite opens up and feel like trying everything.

Before you are been direct to the seat, everyone will have a guest card so that it enable us to purchase our food on the spot and best thing about this is everyone can go on dutch. Of cause today is my darling treat me... hehehe

Seat taken up.... Is reserved for me & darling

My all times favourite is the mushroom soup, where it is super thick and every scoop is full of blended mushroom.

Another not to be miss the the savoury crepe.... yummy... Usually I order the roasted chicken, but this time round, I go for the black forest ham. As usual, it is super delicious... the only disappointment for today is..... I waited for half an hour just to get one crepe... arghhhhh. Damn piss off, but what to do, I love their crepe so much. In it, they put lots of cheese and mix vegetable. Dipping it in the mushroom cream sauce just made it a perfect one.

Love vegetables??? They had a counter where you just order the size you want, and grab as many vegetable on the plate as possible for them to stir fry. It really taste juicy and fresh. Good for vege-lovers.

Well, nothing more to describe than bombarding with my pictures... haha.

Well, I should end of today with our lovely couple photo.
