The Mega Flea series of tradeshow bazaars seemed always to surprise me. It amazes me because what seemed like a repeat of a similar event could have such interesting vendors all the time and merchandises so varied that I was excited because i found some really interesting stuffs.
Location, Environment & Atmosphere
Well, the atmosphere was one that is laced with excitement, while coming up from the escalators, you could already spot signs leading you to the flea and as you approach the entrance, be greeted by some partners with booths and contest. Be a winner before you actually enter the flea hall. Globby's instagram contest was one that was fun while you could take a pic with the cute props with the Mapwerkz team at the Gumtree background while enjoying a yummy cup of ice cream with compliments from Gumtree.
The hall was well air-circulated and tables neatly arranged in columns with ample spaces at each lane for shoppers to crowd and move around. The entire atmosphere was filled with excitement, while you could hear one vendor explaining their merchandises and another customer asking for a discount. Haggling and laughters was pretty ample here and vendors were relaxed even when the crowd builds to a traffic jam around some booths.
Merchandises and Vendors
I was really surprised to meet a few really interesting booths and as I do not want the review to sound like my grandfather's bedtime story, I would keep my lengthy descriptions to the #TMFM11 Post event article..
I found these exceptionally good handmade skincare products (Passionately Handcrafted) which is made of extremely good ingredients such as a concoction of natural oils (eg. grapeseed) and for the scrub i found elderberry extract which is a pretty rare ingredient to be used and somewhat an expensive one. Another booth across the hall promoted to me handmade soap from Ipoh with a history of more than 3 generations (Sabunim) that are made with pure coconut oil and can laterally rejuvenate your skin. The power of pure coconut oil is simply amazing and friendly to sensitive skin.
(The dorsal effect) is another interesting booth. Passionate with a clear and concise goal in mind, the team offers eco-tours to the island Lombok, off Bali, Indonesia, offering business to laid back fishermans so that they do not need to kill endangered sharks just to make ends meet.
(ISported) a newly designed app also made their debut at this flea, offering free downloads with wristbands for your favourite world cup teams. The app is intelligent enough to tell you where you can go nearby, be it a pub or McDonalds to watch football leagues without causing a fight at home.
Preloved Stores
Fashion has always been a big hit for fleas but this time round I spotted more preloved booths with eager and friendly, trendily dressed ladies selling their preloved fashionable stuffs. Love their vibe and the easy going attitudes. What more, i found not only clothes and beautiful dresses and accessories, books and household items were also selling off fast. One such booth is made up of intelligent team of Malay family when their items were lovely and well organised, they even brought along a mic and speaker to boost their presence. Love the teamwork and the fun element they brought to the flea.
It was extremely enjoyable and out of so many fleas, this one got me into the buying mood and most items that I got were such good bargain, i was practically holding on to me cheesy grin the whole time i was shopping. Featuring many trendy and useful stuffs.. this is one of those memorable fleas for me and of course more stuffs to give away to make way for even more beautiful stuffs... LOVED THE EXPERIENCE and WILL COME BACK FOR MORE!

If you enjoy korean style fried chicken you should really pop by Kko Kko Nara at Tanjong Pagar. Walking distance from the MRT and the main road, this outlet is usually packed with diners during dinner hours, so please remember to make your reservations.
We were there on a weekday evening, good thing our friends arrived earlier and chopped us some seats. When i arrived which is slightly before 7pm, there was already a queue outside and well parking is pretty ample by the 2 sides of the road, so if you drive its pretty convenient.
This long restaurant has got pretty nice booth seats for a group size of about 4-6. Well cushioned and ventilated. I spyed our neighbours having Korean BBQ meat, however our good friend suggested a fried chicken party as their Fried Chicken are suppose to be super duper yummilicious. We thus started to order the various flavors and of course some korean wine to go with the meat.
The Original was crispy, tasty and juicy. Our good friend loved it so much that she ate almost half the chicken ($20 for half a chicken).
The garlic and soya sauce is my favourite, love the salty sauce and though my friends commented too savoury, it was just right for me. ($25 for half a chicken)
The spicy was a tad too spicy... I only had a small middle part of the wing and couldn't take it anymore... I was worried my lips would grow to sausage size.
I was surprised they had the lunch menu in which the chicken portions are about 20% cheaper than the dinner prices. Well, take away is the same price with GST and Service Charge but the package was nicely packed with side dishes accompanying salad and cold dish packed separately including a complimentary can of coke, not forgetting forks and serviettes.
Now how sweet is that :)

We were pleasantly surprised by the number of booths at this flea. Mostly neatly arranged taking up almost half in length of the level 3 concourse in a good chronological order and banners placed at all the right places to direct crowd to the event location. The walkways were spacy and organizers friendly and easy to work with, environment kept calmingly cool with good ventilation and background music that hypnotises "Shop! Shop! Shop!"
It was fun as I browse walk through the many booths, inspecting a varied of merchandises from handy phone accessories, fashionable wear and foot wear, even ladies lingerie, children fashion and also had some rather interesting finds. As i'm a flea hopper, I tend to see pretty similar items being sold in most fleas, items like preloved clothes and accessories, branded make-up or korean skin care, children fashion and shoes.
I managed to find a few very interesting things and am going to name them one by one.
1. i saw fire extinguishers.... No kidding.... for the best protection for your family, your home and your loved ones. Equip yourself with a handy extinguisher for small kitchen fires or accidental electrical fires. Otherwise a fire blanket to snooze it off. Something i learnt, fire blankets have got no expiry date, now how educational is that.
2. Branded imported lingerie and bikinis.... I'm amazed, ecstatic even to find some very farmiliar brands from the USA being sold for $10 a piece.... colours were great and the booth owner was equally sexy as her merchandises.
3. Handphone accessories, something we cannot deny we still need and prices here were super affordable. I am glad a came by this booth.
4. Shoes shoes and more slippers? Yes, i found some really nice shoes for my men, slippers and casual wears.... usually flooded with preloved female footwear, here you get them new and for men...
5. I spotted fighting fish for sale... yes, these little aquatic tigers are for sale as ornamental lifestyle products. You get a nice container and a couple of these shimmering beautiful fishes.
The entire flea was very interesting to shop around made crowded by the nearby exhibitions and other conventions that are going on. I haven't got started on the funky t-shirts, super cheap toys and stationaries, interesting snacks and cakes on sale. Well its a flea with a good array of vendors and products, fit for the young and old.
Plus plus plus my niece got herself a super pretty blouse which she loved and a super cool rubber illuminated watch... Well her brother just go himself a minion t-shirt which is super comfy and thin... The parents.... stopped by almost every booth, lets just not get started about them!!!

Found this little treasure while I was browsing the flea market. Love the colours, collection, brands and varieties available and what more... they are very affordable :) *shivers with joy*
Its a humble looking stall neatly stacked with boxes and some standing shelves loaded with eye shadows with colours so many, you wish you had brought along a larger bag to hide your purchases from that bewildered look your hubby is gonna give you... So while i loaded up on the NYX eye shadows and not forgetting beautiful eye liners in multiple hues of black, brown and grays, and aimlessly drifted to the next section.
Lipsticks in all sorts of eye-popping colours that simply jump out at you. Yes. boxes of them neatly bundled with the colour number facing up. Yes... affordably priced, you can get a few of the fluorescent plump looking lip glosses to go with your equally loud lipsticks.
Besides NYX, they do also carry a few other brands and service is well... super friendly. Blushes, brushes, foundations of all textures and whatever that makes you pretty is also available. They do appear mostly in fleas otherwise you would have to catch them online via their online shops.
I had a wonderful time browsing their merchandises which has an amazing variety, prices are very economical (you know what i mean), products are real good quality and mostly sealed.. Now don't get me started on that multiple blush palette that contained 3 colours of blushers or many combinations of eye colours in one box.... I just couldn't stop....

Your nails can't look more valuable until you've got yourself foiled at Value Nails. Yes, they retail nail foils aka sticker for your nails yet must more lasting and with more a fashionable taste in design, texture and application.
Spotted them at one of the flea market and got a free trial on my fore finger... I was pleasantly surprised at how fast the application was and how perfect it looked post application. All she did was choose an appropriate size, stick it on and file the excess off with a filing stick and TADAH..... your nail is dressed in style... Smooth and perfect prints on my nails... with that i took a closer look at the hundreds of designs placed in front of me.
5 for $10, made me wanna buy more than 5.... with designs so pretty.. i don't know where to start... So i started with geometrical prints, then to the polka dots and stripes, floral designs, lace looking prints, characters and lastly 3D designs that pops out with a texture....
I took a long time selecting for the right print, yet all seemed to look right for me... coz its so simple to apply, i could change my designs everyday or every other day.... Just think about how hip my nails will look.... So i scratched my head and went into the agony of controlling myself not to buy every one design that i get my eyes on.. i guess maybe about 500 stacks of designs on the table.
Good thing the helpful staff was there to save the day. Though a tall, strong looking gentleman, he's pretty much an expert in these nail prints. He could intro me the special designs and the ones he held up are looking pretty amazing, such I took almost all he recommended and was in a happy frenzy mood afterwards.
When i got home, i started the sticking regime, its simple, just stick on and file off, however its not really easy to do it single handedly, so i would propose a friendly girl pal to do it with you. A good tip i got from the staff, always stick straight and make sure no bubbles, then the nail foil will last for the longest time.. Most importantly, no aggressive scratching or trying to pick staples off your documents... no nail art can take these punishing drills..... love yourself, look beautiful and buy some nail foils :)

For sure this is one of my favourite tee-shirt shop... Love the thin and durable material, love the cool prints and the one of the kind designs. I can confidently say that the merchandises Urban Street Culture carries invoked my long lost love for tee-shirts and I'm loving to wear them much more than ever.
I met them in a few flea events but as unpredictable flea events these days are, everytime when i see the shop I will make sure i get at least one top for myself. Its the surprise factor that added to the interesting prints you can find in the racks and racks of neatly stacked bubble tees. Like meeting with a long lost friend, Mike the owner could always remember what I bought previously and he's also been an inspiration to me.
The Tees are very reasonably priced, material durable with plenty of nice smooth prints. Yes, the prints are good for machine wash and tees not drool colours during wash. Thin and very comfy to wear with a good range of sizes that fits most asian men and women.
They do carry a good range of rock and roll metal band branded tees, cartoon characters with a funny twist as well as famous brands and our childhood logos. Good thing they do have a permanent store at Orchard Central so if you really wants some tees you could find them there otherwise online, try to email mike or try your luck at fleas :)
Super love their lovely tees :)

The amazing Isetan supermarket finally arrived in the heartland of the west side of Singapore. I was super excited to have found it as the Isetan shop front at the ground level is a bad gauge of the actual size of this departmental store.
One level down is a whole level of household, lifestyle goods, children toys and fashion while another level down you get to shop at a full fledge jap supermarket, complete with good quality sashimi and during weekends boosting lots of food stalls. I love to buy, walk and eat and especially in love with Japanese food.
The entire supermarket is well spaced and neatly arranged with a good choice of many cooked food and I must say very reasonably priced. Theres sashimi of all kinds, sushi and even Bento boxes for you to buy back. Grilled food, tempura, yummilicious salads are also plentiful and as I browse away, I saw something pretty conspicuous.
I saw these 2 guys sitting at a pavilion look alike counter in the middle of nowhere drinking beer and eating sashimi... I mean can they eat before paying? and they seemed to look so relaxed. I went nearer for a closer inspection and realised there indeed is a mini island bar that can house a band of 10-15 brothers. They serve wine, alcohol and other beverages while you could enjoy your supermarket sashimi there. Didn't really find out how they charge, yet i think its a great idea.
Nearer to the door are some pavilions which houses what look like temporary stores. One selling snacks like black beans, grilled octopus and many more interesting side dishes, i couldn't help but got myself a box of grilled squid and it was superlicious. For $7/100g, I was given quite alot of squid. It was chewy but not tough, juicy and tasty. I also bought for myself a box of tempura mushrooms but it was not nice at all. First it was cold, then soggy and limp.... rather tasteless... So well, choose wisely... everything raw is good but deep fried is cold and not tasty.... Never buying another deep fried thing there again unless its right out from the kitchen :)
The place is wonderful and I'm sure to go back....

We were excited to meet Puppymoo at the No Man's Land Event held on the 1st / 3rd wednesday every month.
Offering a free service of glitter tattoos on anywhere of your body, the queue was way too long as the night gets later, however wait i must wait. So you choose a motif then she cleans your skin and put on some non-toxic skin glue, motif on and then glitter powder... The process was superquick and very cleanly done. It last a few days on the skin minimum if you don't so often try to scratch it off. While on ankles it can last up to 2 weeks, perhaps coz we don't scratch our ankles so often. So i took a card and browsed at her site and I was amazed by the unique products Puppymoo carries on her online shop.
There are a few really interesting products and I must say some so great for children's party. Besides the non-toxic and child safe glitter tattoos that every princess loves, theres also water based nail polish which I have never heard off. The products were amazingly unique and hardly found anywhere else in Singapore. I love the service, love the concept and the interesting products. If you are looking for interesting party ideas, puppymoo is definitely the place to go to...
Head on down to the PuppyMoo Site and surprise your friends with something unique and interesting... It gives the oomph to make your parties a WOW event.

We were enamoured by the cute sheep figurine parked at the entrance of the shop and drawn by the prospect of having pancakes for brunch on a late Sunday morning.
Located along the narrow and sometimes congested East Coast Road, just diagonally opposite I12 Katong, Batter Fluffy Flaps or BFF for short, boasts a cute, sheep centric interior and menu. Great if you are into cutesy stuff.
The both of us had the BFF special, which included 2 drinks, 2 pancakes dishes (savoury or sweet) and 1 side to share. For drinks we ordered the Cookies & Cream ice blended and the Pure Caramel Coffee Blended; Both decent but a tad watered down. And I guess you can't really go wrong with drinks?
Honey Baked Chicken Wings - I'm sorry to say this but the wings suffered 50% burns on the outside but remained relatively unscathed on the inside. Read. Relatively raw with blood still seeping through. Very badly executed and we gave up after the 2nd wing.
Fish Flaps - This was essentially deep fried fish fillet served with tartar sauce, coleslaw and 2 flapjacks. The fish fillets had way too much flour and very little fish but was still palatable though you would probably need a lot of tartar sauce to down that much flour. Coleslaw was a tad too creamy, rich and sourish for my liking. On a slightly more positive note, the pancakes were quite fluffy (though smallish) and well cooked, but the accompanying "maple syrup" tasted like the hotcake syrup that MacDonalds uses. That's definitely not maple syrup for sure.
Banana Bonanza - 2 pieces of pancakes topped with sliced bananas, vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and walnuts. Average tasting though the pancakes were quite fluffy. The bananas could have been grilled to achieve a certain degree of caramelisation whilst the ice cream was evidently from the tub as I could find ice chips in it. The sole saving grace was the relatively generous serving of walnuts.
The BFF special cost the both of us $42.80, which was honestly a rip off for the quality of food. Please heed my advise on this place; Look past the cute facade and name and give this place a miss.

He caught my eye when his wallets starts to flame and I vowed I smelled zippo fluid or some relates that to the smell of burnt dollar notes... I mean who on earth would set their wallets on fire except to prevent their wives from over spending during a shopping spree... So while he moved nearer to me, i placed my bag behind me.... *Burn me first before you touch my wallet....*
I am always excited to meet a MAGICIAN... they never fail to wow me with their fast moving hands to make that dollar bill disappear or the pick a coin from my ear and your ear and his ear and from somebody-else's buttocks. Yes, this was not what tommy does. Matter of fact, his illusions are always laced with lotsa smoke... as our first handshake make him smoked out of his coat sleeves, so it either I'm SMOKING HOT or he is just leaking smoke!!!
Tommy has real fast hands... I mean it in a constructive way... He's engaging and have a good sense of humor. While he did some close up magic that made me wanna shut the Awing Mouths of his audiences, the performance on stage made the whole hall of people amazed. Its Fun, Amazing and Astonishing...
Being professional and creative in his tricks, Tommy indeed wowed many with the simple props and casual approaches.... It made me feel like I've made a friend that is fun, makes me laugh and keeps me away from boredom. Though he couldn't make me disappear *most likely because i'm wearing a bulky body* yet he made my worries disappear like the smoke that leaked from his sleeves. Its a wonderful experience and sure did lighten up a serious looking party with many men in suits... otherwise a starched face. :)
