Please wait for everything to load!


22nd march 2008.

2nd lime flea market with non other than...




AUDREY NG AND JOANNA TAY!
here they are all excited and smiling for the camera.


we got the store set up by 12pm.




thats audrey's pile, and joanna's pile respectively...



... and here's mine.
notice how the pile of clothes gradually increased from audrey to mine. haha.

as expected, it was a slow start so we just sat there and bummed around. in the meantime joanna's handphone suddenly went dead on her and after many failed attempts to fix it, she decided to send it for repair at wisma.




she's obviously getting irritated with me.
there's her phone. its probably irritated as well.

the crowd gradually increased with each passing hour, and we were pretty busy after 3pm.
joanna's friends sarah and selina popped by and bought snacks and slurpees for us. they also stayed awhile to help us fold and tidy the clothes. so nice of them!

later on, lester also came by and shortly after that around 4pm the sky started to darken ominously and we heard thunder in the distance. gradually pple started to "pack up" and move their stuff to the covered shelter nearby. we decided to do the same, and lester helped us pack and carry the heavy bags over.





here we are rushing to move the stuff before the rain came.
the shelter was packed full of other sellers and people who were actually still looking around and buying things!

it rained pretty heavily non stop for more than an hour so we just sat there and stoned and gossiped. despite the shelter, the wind still blew rain at us so we used audrey's umbrella to protect ourselves from getting more wet.




picture taken by lester with my phone.
audrey looks so emo, while joanna seems rather contented to be sharing an umbrella with us.
ok sing along now:
"you can stand under my umbrella ella ella a a a...
under my umbrella ella ella a a a...
its raining.. oh baby its raining..."
HAHAHAHAHA




joanna is attempting to look sad. audrey obviously isnt deceived. TSK!

to make matters worse, an inconsiderate bunch of pple started to smoke in the shelter right next to us.
[insert random audrey vulgaraties here]

audrey: "!#%$^&*()*^$^$!!^%*&%$$&%&((*%$*"



joanna hard at work playing a game on audrey's handphone. check out her pure look of concentration.
joanna: "arghhh! i keep losing! arghhh!"
audrey: "!#%$^&*()*^$^$!!^%*&%$$&%&((*%$*"

while waiting for the rain to stop i took 2 videos. here they are. please turn on your speakers to hear the commentary in the first one. its pretty funny.


*NOTE: ignore the picture after each video.. something's wrong with my blog but u should have no problem viewing the videos.



finally around 5.30pm the rain lightened to a drizzle and we moved back to the stall.

another funny video featuring audrey using one of her shirts to wipe our tables which got wet. a classic moment. listen out for lester's comment at the end. hahaha.

some sellers had given up waiting and went home, so some of the stalls were empty. however, there were others who decided not to move at all and remained under the shelter. a majority did not move back, hence the bulk of the customers were all at the shelter and fewer of them ventured out to the stalls where we were.

to make things worse, it started to rain again slightly. as a result, only a few customers came over to our stall and before we knew it, it was already 8pm and too dark to continue selling. so we packed up everything again. as i was packing my clothes into the luggage, the whole thing tipped over and some of my clothes fell out onto the wet, dirty floor and got stained. i ended up throwing away one top.

afterwards we proceeded to kobanyashi at cine for dinner. lester joined us. we were all so shagged by then. just sat there and stoned for abt an hour before going our separate ways.

i will not be participating in another flea market in the future.. its wayyyy too tiring and i dont have the time anymore.

made very little money in comparison to the first flea.. abt $50 only.. but then again i sold all my tops and bottoms at $1 or $2. oh well, at least managed to clear off some clothes.

ok thats the end of my long long update. hope u enjoyed reading it :)

as promised, an update on yesterday.

arranged to meet joanna at city hall around 2.30pm. she was late! TSK. but never mind la.
so we went to raffles city cos joanna supposedly wanted to go river island for awhile. turns out that audrey and gen popped out from behind and gave me a shock. lol. they came straight from sch.

from there went to soup spoon where audrey had her lunch, then on to spinelli for coffee cos i was falling asleep standing. havent been sleeping well for the past few days.



everyone was acting really suspiciously.. and then miss jenna tan turned up and hugged me from behind -_-
TSK. u all ah. full of surprises.

but the "worse" was yet to come. i was blindfolded with audrey's hot, stuffy and SMELLY jacket and led by jenna to god knows where while the rest were laughing and taking pics of me.

HOW UNGLAM PLEASE. TSKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

luckily my face was covered.. saved me from further embarassment!

so my torturous journey lasted about 10mins (though it felt wayyy longer) and ended at minds cafe at clarke quay.

there i was presented with a cute heartshaped cake and a present from all of them. it was a mini hand-winding musical box which played the happy birthday tune and a HUGE lovely loungefly wallet.


i will add on the pics of the presents in my previous post when im feeling less lazy.

so anyways we were at minds cafe from 6.15-9.15pm... ordered some famous five combo which entitled us to 5 drinks, 2 meals, chips and cookies. we all shared the cake, pasta and chicken.
played many funny games.. lazy to list em all down. i was sooo exhausted from playing by the time we left. the bill came up to close to $90. $90!!!!!

*faints*

i felt so bad when they refused to let me pay my share. we walked around clarke quay abit more and sat and chatted awhile by the singapore river. i was the first to leave around 10pm.

what an interesting and fun filled day! :) :) :)

oh, will be at the lime flea market again on 22nd march (saturday) with audrey and joanna!

PLEASE SUPPORT!

11th march 2008:

joanne had a FABULOUS 21st birthday.

because im feeling lazy to type, ill just let the pictures do the talking. sure gonna take a lot to top this one!

PLEASE CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE.


san marco's the lighthouse, fulleton hotel





hands down the BEST food i have ever eaten in my entire life, plus a wonderful view from the top of fulleton :)
someday i shall have my wedding dinner there lol


singapore national museum





toured the singapore historial galleries, and the greek masterpieces from the louvre exhibition. took many, many pics but i cant post em all up here cos it'll take ages to load!


10000 BC, the cathay



despite getting mixed reviews abt this movie i thought it was good! the only thing that sucked was the bullshit ending, aside from that its my kind of show! nice graphics and action scenes.


the long bar, raffles hotel



the drinks pictured are johnny walker black label and singapore sling (or swing?). black label was better, singapore sling is too "funky" tasting for my liking. the teriyaki meatballs are all right, but not worth the money.


bengawan solo chocolate cake



bengawan solo makes good cakes and pastries :) absolutely delicious chocolate cake with nuts and berries on top.


the best part of all: PRESENTS!














this is all i've gotten so far, will add on more pics when i receive the rest :D
