Flea with Brenda!

Attended a flea market with Brenda on 14th May at the Singapore Flyer. It was my first time attending a flea market there as I was afraid of getting lost if I went alone. hehe. and in the end, we really got kinda lost together because of me :p We had to walk all the way from City Hall to the Sg Flyer, which was not quite near... All because of me, yes!! I suck at directions, i can get lost easily!! Lucky thing is that my friend(s) are always understanding!! that's a blessing for me at least :)) So pictures of our long walk to the flyer!! And i realised that the scenery is AWESOME!! didn't know that we have such breathtaking view here in Sg. Okay, i admit that I take things for granted at times.... 

Arrived at the flyer eventually, we had no idea where to go initially, thus, we followed the crowd~ Glad that we were able to find the place after our much effort put in to get there. And boy, the place was practically filled to the brim! Both of us were overstimulated by the crowd! Despite that, we braved on through the crowd, and we spent about 2 hours there. To our disappointment, we did not manage to buy many things, Our loots- B: A polka dot chiffon top and 2 rings while I got 1 pair of high-waisted shorts and 1 ring. Yeah, so little, cause the crowd was really horrible, we were both a lil turned off.

 B and I left the flea feeling dizzy due to the "lack of oxygen" aka "too much carbon dioxide". Woah, hated the crowd, honestly.. guess it would have been better if the flea was conducted in an open area, but it's beyond my control... hehe. Went for "high tea" at the Food Trail! It was introduced and reviewed by magazines/ newspapers, therefore, we decided to give it a try. The ambiance of place was so old school and nostalgic, felt that it was quite cool. The stalls, cutleries and decoration of the place were all of the retro style. Good point is that the place was kept cool, with air conditioners/ fans and good air ventilation.

Food that we ordered: Century egg with pork porridge (mine) and popiahs (had a portion each), Sugar cane juice (Brenda's)!! My porridge costs: $3, Popiah: $2 each
Verdict: The food was an okay, average, not spectacular imo. Average food at steep prices. A very apt description.. haha. Was a nice experience though, wouldn't mind dining there again.

Continued to take pictures along the way and I suggested to cross over The Helix Bridge over to Marina Centre. I've been wanting to 'explore' the place for ages out of curiosity, and Brenda was kind enough to oblige to my wish :) Thank you!! More pictures along the way and we made our way to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands!

Magnificent and huge shopping mall with an ice skating rink in the middle. House of top branded brands of apparels, watches, accessories, eye wear, shoes etc etc..... Not forgetting restaurants, cafe, candy shops etc... Even the food court was completely "atas", the prices of the food were sky high, and we were sure glad that we ate at The Food Trail before exploring the shoppes @ MB.

We were completely drained by the end of the day after walking so much!! Dreaded the thought of crossing over the bridge again and walking back to Marina Square, which we did eventually. Trained home and ended our day of outing together.

A few days later... We went our again for a movie!! Caught Fast & Furious 5! Quite enjoyed the story but the only thing was that I thought the movie was a bit too long. Maybe it's just me. Brenda bought a fake LongChamp bag so that we could sneak in snacks from NTUC. LOL <3 that silly girl!! 

Pictures taken before we entered the theater :))
