    Treasure HUnting! Local Flea markets

    Hunting for a place where you can find something you like amongst a wide array of different items offered at amazingly low prices? Or hunting for an opportunity to display your talents and sell your self-made stuff? The flea market is just the place for you! Its not a dirty market full of fleas (an image which the name might conjure) but instead, its the perfect place for you to purchase attractively super low-priced items! Also, the flea market often attracts young entrepreneurs to set up stalls peddling their own creations, perfect for individuals with preferences for quirky, one-of-a-kind items. So, what are you budding entrepreneurs waiting for? Below is a list of several flea markets present in Singapore. Just remember to bring along sufficient cash before you hit the road to head for a flea market because all purchases have to be made in cash!

    I’m not exactly a perfectionist, but he’s little vendetta makes me laugh, possibly as it tickles more than my funny bone. The other poster I love would be the penguin one….where it is advisable to conform. Or… be Cold. Check out ‘How I met your mother’. It is…Legen… wait for it… Dary!

    Brrr-ingly Cold. lols!

    Neil Patrick Harris on Sesame Street

     

    If you haven’t already caught this fellow, on the hilarously funny how I met your mother sitcom, well, catch him in his one-time off shoe production scheme… where he’s an angel on the widely popular sesame street…

    We can be Heroes – ABC Series production: Eons Passed…

     

     

    Back in my chubbier days in Melbourne, *note the hamster cheeks*, as I fondly recall, this one time off appearance on an ABC series, ‘we could be heroes’, I must say that diversity doesn’t really make much of a difference but rather empowers.

     

    Contrary to the usual ham-haws about racist-demeanours (there are of course a minority), of my 5 years in Melbourne, I barely felt unwelcomed, and if anycase, some caucasian friends I’ve met along the way were way friendlier than most; namely Adrian and Sabby. Still, this was perhaps the greatest experience that befell me when I was over there. And hopefully many more to come. Would love to get back into musicals and stage acting. Sighsy.
