Flea Party Tips

Me and 3 other friends recently did a flea at Luck Plaza Level 6, Opposite Jollibee organised by For Flea Sake.

We sold pre-loved clothes and accessories.


Whilst I was setting up my booth, there was a huge crowd that swarmed in. In the first 20mins, I have already covered my rent!!

I had to leave after 3 hours but I got quite a huge return from my "overdue investments", so did my friends who stayed the full 6-7 hours.

Some tips when you set up a booth:
1) Share the booth with friends- it is cheaper to share and they make life more interesting =D
2) Arrive earlier than the stipulated time - more time more $$
3) Get a good booth location- more space, more visibility, more sales
3) Mess up your store. The messier it is, the more people will be drawn in
4) Consider getting a rack for pieces that are good to draw the crowd.
5) Bring some flu medicine if you are pretty sensitive to dust as it can be quite bad considering you have to stay for 6-7 hours in the same area.

The Flea Party was also recently featured in Qiu Qiu's Budget Barbie:

We will be setting up another November 2013. So look out for us!

Groupon Dim Sum Class

I recently signed up for a Dim Sum Hands-On Baking Class at Oriton School with Groupon.


In this class, they thought us how to make Portuguese Egg Tarts, Liu Sa Bao and Polo Bun.

Portuguese Egg Tarts

The skin was made with dough and saturated margarine, rolled out and layered to create the crusty and flaky texture.

Liu Sa Bao
My Liu Sa Bao was quite a failure =(
When I rolled out the dough, I should have considered that the "closing up of the bun" required layers and layers of dough stuck together. It resulted in the filling seeping through the bun.

Polo Bun
As for the Polo Bun, I think I rolled the dough too many times. It was so hard!

Overall, I had great fun!
You can say that I was busy doing the dim sum that I forgot to take step by step photos!
Maybe that was just an excuse ~ haha~ it's just that my hand had too much flour and it was oily!

I found another blogger that went for the same course as me but with a different instructor. 
Thanks for reading~

Skull and Haha Press Conference in Singapore


I'm a BIG FAN of Running Man.

And when I got the news that Haha will be coming to Singapore, I was delighted!


This stage was up a few days before the press conference and I vowed I had to be there for it.

Some of Skull and Haha's lively tunes include Busan Vacance:

and their latest single, Ragga Muffin

On the day of the press conference, I went there about an hour early to find a good spot. 

They made their grand entrance down the Square 2 Shopping Mall escalator at 7pm SHARP!
Spot Haha and Skull
I took many fan photos that were pretty unclear..

My pictures aren't fantastic.

But for great photos and what went on during the press conference, you can go to this link.
