End of the week.. Phew.. Really tired over work this few days. But I still squeezed out some time to shop around!
After Monday trip to Chinatown, Tuesday is my final hunt for CNY signage. I was at Rocher Road with Jazs, and brought this!
Nice flowerly rats! Cost me $2.80, you cannot find it anywhere else! Only here! I pasted it on the West side of my bedroom. Feeling that waking up every morning, it is sure to ensure you reach your home or work place safely!! *HaHa!!
This costs me $1.00!! Very cheap! I think only this shop near my house have this price, other stalls are selling at $3!
I passed these very old, weeds-filled terrace houses which is very near to Mustafa Shopping Centre.

Some of you may have seen this place, it is actually a place where those Ah Peks and Ah Mmm display their 'ancient' stuffs here to sell.
It is 4pm when I was there, stunned to see so many people shopping there! 
Look at the things they sell! I really seem like those stuffs that we will dump when doing our annual Spring Cleaning!
Used shoes, those Duracell rabbits dolls, used hi-fi, watches and many more! Wonder if I could bring some of my stuffs over to sell! *LoL!!
I see this as part of the cult of SG, imagine the Hippo Tour pass by this area too! Sad to see there are some fellas selling XXX discs openly, certainly spoil the image of this street!

Woke up at early noon, went for a $17 haircut before meeting Jazs for late lunch. Fully prepared, as I am in shorts, polo tee, slippers (What's new?!), water bottle, backpack away for some sightseeing!
First stop :
I passed these very old, weeds-filled terrace houses which is very near to Mustafa Shopping Centre.Then I finally reached my destination.
Probably let you guys know something. I am actually reading up into 'FengShui' recently. In fact I am quite interested in this 'subject' since I read up those CNY fortune guide book selling annually, when I was in Sec 2. *Mmm.. Just that I did not find a starting point for that. It is only till now I have 2 colleagues who is very much into this, they recommend books by author name "Lillian TOO". So I have been reading up her books since then.
Back to the site, this is one street (recommended by my colleagues) that 'suprisinly' houses lots shops selling 'FengShui' item! I did some read up at home, planned what I am gonna buy before coming over. Thinking back past few years which wasn't going real well for my family, I brought a pair of 9 eyes Dzi beads with white beads (which represent Health) for my Mum and sister. Myself, brought 3 copper coins tied by red string, place in my wallet for income secure. Added to that, I brought a dragon turtle (ensure health and wealth for family) and 3 legged toad (booast money luck) to put at my home. Wondering how good will it do for us. *Mmm.. Looking around tha shop, there tons of other stuffs to energise your house or workplace!

Okies, done with this, I walked over toward Bugis. As I passed by this land infected by pigeons!! I had urge to call up my pest controller!
And I reached here, a part of Jalan Besar. Quite rundown. 
So I come to my 2nd part of hike. Sungei Road!

I remember whenever I take bus to Sim Lim Tower, I will surely pass by this stretch of road. But I never have the chance to alight to walk along these streets.

Saw this place which I have never come before too. This is the place where you see lots of Malaysia buses and cabbies. For me, someone who never put a step on Malaysia, surely will not come this place at all.
Up next was over to warehouses opposite Raffles Hospital. Those canned scallops, 'Bao yu', dried stuffs were selling at relatively cheap price! I find it is a good place to shop for CNY foods.
MMmm.. End of my excusion. Hopefully my next outing in Feb 08 will visit another part of SG. Any suggestion? *Ha! Anyway, do enjoy the CNY ahead!!
