had quite a happening weekend…
fri night was fun.. right after work, mr ho n i chiong to jb, wanting to avoid the peak hour jam.. luckily not much cars since we went via 2nd link..
arrived at permas jaya ard 6plus7.. went2 makan lok lok!! i also dun understand what’s so fascinating about eating food on a stick, but it’s just fun. haha. the chilli sauce was good too! and then..the best part…durians! wohoooo.. craving for durians since forever.. besides the durians in mysia’s waaaay cheaper.. we had the mao shan wang with some friends.. yum yum..but it felt too little to me..haha.. endless tummy for durians. after satisfying our stomach, went bk n zzz with tv..
sat n sun.. we had our flea market at tampines.. i did it twice with my family in tamp a year ago.. kinda miss the feeling of “be your own boss” .. so decided we should give it a shot, and at the same time earn some allowance too. it was fun for sure! mr ho somehow became the soft toys IC.. lol.. i did the clothes n some japalang thingy.. we shared the space with grace n her lil sisters helpers, so it had quite a good atmosphere. i really like doing flea markets actually, the sitting around people-watching, selling your own stuff with pride, helping people save money in a way.. though definitely selling the stuff wayyyy cheaper than it actually cost. $2 for a $15 dress i bought? u must be kidding. but that’s what happens when price war starts there. anyway it’s 2nd hand and i m not planning to wear it anymore too.. just getting rid of stuff.
so many children around. really cutie pies stumbling about, attracted by the soft toys on sale, esp with someone like mr ho smiling at them and bribing with the soft toys.. i thought he looked abit like santa claus..lol (ops. sorry!) proud of my santa claus..ohya hor.. santas claus go “ho ho ho”..hehe..
sunday was a bad day..
went to east coast for some wind, sitting at the breakwater absorbing too much sea salt vapour (if there’s such a thing), walked from marine parade library to big splash.. when it started to drizzle.. not a good sign, when you are having a flea market in an hour’s time..
in the end, when we got there, it was drizzling too, but we still displayed half of our items cos i thought the clouds would pass. but nooooooo.. all of a sudden it started pouring! we were so kanchiong, hands over legs, legs over hands trying to keep the stuff and move it under shelter.. n waited for the rain to pass….with some of the clothes dirtied by the rain etc., i had to down the price somemore.. not too bad..sales started coming in, and it was more like wanting to get rid of the stuff at any price! haha.
rain stopped and we continued our business till closing time.. a fulfilling weekend with some extra cash to spare. yes!
