river hongbao
christie's [singapore style]
went for some jalan jalan (stroll) at river hongbao along the esplanade last saturday evening with pseudo master and mom. missed the good ole local funfairs and though this wasn't the best of the lot, it was entertaining enough with:
- super-cheesy-beng-vmp techno blasting from the rides
- jumping frogs carousel
- pseudo master throwing darts for $5 a round
- eating popsicles that dripped down my top
- the long queue outside the smelly disgusting portable toilets
- people buying pin tang hu lu despite the swarm of flies
- the amazing lost trade, an auction (stood there for a full 15 minutes watching this dude go on and on and on and on, holding up an auction on his own.)
next step? will need to convince like-minded friends to join me at
- uncle ringo funfair this weekend at woodlands
- chinatown to get a bohemian ashtray
- arab street for bargain ethnic home decor like beaded lampshades (i'm in a martha stewart frame of mind these days with the new home)
