fleaaaa market fever

disclaimer: this post was initially lost due to the mysterious workings of the computer, but resurfaced in my drafts.. phew. so here it is(: an antiquated entry
ever heard of flea markets and all the hype about it? well i always thought they were overrated when they say you find the cheapest and nicest stuff at flea markets and not shopping centres. and boy, did light dawn upon me after i went to the flea market at havelock road yesterday! everything was going dirt cheap and the things they were selling, albeit second-hand, were nice with nicer prices! if clinical shopping centres dont work for you, simply because you cant find the things you want n as prices in singapore are so steep, then you should have been there! besides, online shopping has its limitations!haha..if you're budget conscious and looking for a good deal then hunt the next flea market down! juling and i nearly went mad from the huge array and inexpensive goods available.
initially we got lost trying to get to the ulu riverside hotel nestled somewhere along the singapore river, and when we finally reached we saw the deceptively ugly and dilapidated emerald buliding (ala timberlux centre) which hid the vibrant retail bustling within. it didnt help having juling for company cuz even though we asked each other to help us save money, we couldn't resist the temptation sucumbed to our shopaholic, this-is-too-good-to-let-off nature and shopped shopped shopped. and seriously, after the adidas bag i just bought, i was seriously broke and blew some of this week's allowance at the flea market! then again, if i had scrimped and saved i wouldnt forgive myself!haha..this was a typical scene.

juling: hey fabian, is this nice?? (flashes a pair of pin striped 3quats)

fabian: wah, not bad.. how much is it?

juling: its only 12bucks, but i need to save money cuz i spent too much already! hahaha.. help me save money!

fabian: well, id help, but if you dont buy this now you're never gonna get a bargain like this again! it'd cost a good 60bucks of you buy this from far east man..haha. then again, if you dont wanna buy i cant stop you ( raises a brow and gives the you-gonna-regret-it-if-you-dont-buy smile)

juling: ok here's $12 (to stallowner without hesitation, and whips the newly owned pair into her carrier, content)

im sure with persuasion jules could've saved 12bucks but trust me, its too good a bargain to miss! if you looked hard enough there'd be good bargains aplenty! and besides, i never knew i'd have so much fun rumaging through someone else's old stuff, let alone pay for them.. haha. the looks on our faces were classic and i swear we just kept smiling after leaving the place. i spent merely 23bucks on 3 tees while juling spent 40 on a top, 2pants and a skirt. now tell me, where do you get such painful inexpensive prices?!?! wooo. yijun bought 2 pairs of earrings and a bracelet, and her expression thereafter speaks for itself. it says, i cant believe how worth it it was! kudos to juling for spotting the flea market advert in 8days! so sue us! for not telling you about the flea market!wheeeeeee!
pictures pictures pictures!

i was really looking for a green striped one instead, but this was the closest, and it only cost $8.heh


rather small, but yu know how much i love orange and i couldnt help it..haha


this was a real bargain! my fave too, at only 7bucks..heh. i like the spectrum(:


the guilty spenders(me&jules) - posing infront of a HUGE fan cuz the place was hellishly stuffy and warm.haha.


this pup here is fat joe(i like the name).. a stall owner's adorable pet..


two levels of shopping haven, and the insane ever-burgeoning crowd



we went to ikea thereafter to get ms sia's concert gift and i had swedish meatballs (i had cravings for the longest time..haha) next time it'll be salmon(:


jun and i, at ikea

a picture speaks a thousand words, so here are the pictures taken over the weekend


at cartel, thats sarah and i - kinda shaky cuz of juling's lousy shaky hands..haha


1/2 priced pastry anyone? thats zhenghong and joel(:


darling sarah at the airport when we went to study on sunday.. so pretty can.smiles


thats us (and me looking kidddy-esque as usual)



i love my hair man. did i say it already? I LOVE MY HAIR!!!! haha

guilty sinful pleasure! i just came home from town with bag i'd been eyeing for 2 months now and yes! now i own it! (albeit it being priced steeply at $199). defintely worth all that cash!heh

gosh, yu should have seen the look on my face when we were at the vault @ heeren. i was completely transfixed on that gorgeous must-have bag that im sure sarah must have felt a little jealous, at the very least. i'd been enamoured with the bag since i first saw it at the adidas originals boutique at pacific plaza, and immediately hatched a little money saving plan to accumulate a nice little sum to buy me the bag. but naturally, being such the spendthrift i am, and as i9 cant tolerate going hungry and end up eating instead of saving money i never did amass that desired amount. but with a little help from sianwei today i now own the coolest bag ever! haha.. no one's gonna have the same bag as me now..woot! sianwei, i owe yu one and i love yu more for this, heh, will treat yu to lunch once i become unbroke again!hahaha...

anyway, sarah went down with me today, which i thought was really really nice of her cuz it was such a hassle and kinda pointless to head down to town from simei just to get the bag and head home when she didnt even go to school. reagardless, anyway, i love yu dear((:just yesterday we were there too and today we went back to get my bag..haha. anyway, i still do think the green skirt yu bought is nice! and that the pair of customized mary janes at far east is quite a worthy buy, so dont hesitate k! smiles.

some pictures to accompany the post! ((:

the neoprint we took at heeren yesterday!so sweet la dear!


some stupid advertisement we saw in a advert book at kino. advertising for a line of clothing called black coffee, with a tagline that goes "clothing you wouldnt dream of taking off" with their models having sex fully clothed! absurd, but definitely amusing.



us at somerset mrt((: yu looked really nice in that simple white top and that gorgeous victoria secrets skirt((: so innocent looking (unlike yu..heh!)


money well spent!!
