I have more than 6 to choose so I would dedicate this award to all my fellow bloggers out there who are always giving me nice and sweet comments.

Pink Saturday - Bazaar

It is pink Saturday again. I am posting photos of some stalls selling some beautiful baju (clothes) for the malay festival.

I only featured few stalls that are nearer to the main road cause the weather is a killer, it is so hot, I dare not go right into the bazaar. I think I will visit again next week during the night and take more photos...lol.

These are baju which are the malay's culture style of dressing. During their festival, i.e. Hari Raya Puasa which will falls on 21st September 2009 for this year. The whole family would wear the same colour clothes. They looked so cute especially for the small kids.



These are for the little kids, they are so cute.

Did you see any carpets that you fancy in this stall?

We are a multi racial country and most have friends from different races. So same for me and my family too.

We do get invited by our malay friends to join them for a meal during their festival but this year I wont be able to join my friends cause I have to attend my cousin's wedding on 21st September in a very nice hotel. I have so many cousins, so after this cousin getting married we are down to one very last female cousin that is still unmarried.

For more pinky participants, please visit Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.

Skywatch Friday - Hari Raya Puasa

Here is Geylang Serai, where you can find almost everything that is related to the malay culture. From food to clothes.

It is fantastic that Singapore celebrates the different festivals of its multi racial people. We have Geylang Serai (for the muslims), Chinatown (for the Chinese), Little India (for the Indians) and Orchard Road (christmas for others, tourists, etc).

We have lights up at the streets at the four important roads during the different festivals. This month is the celebration of the muslim for their Hari Raya Puasa. So the streets of Geylang Serai is decorated with fairy lights and there are bazaar selling things associated with Hari Raya Puasa.


I will post the photos of the bazaar tomorrow for Pink Saturday.
Note the sign (circled) which do not allow people to jaywalk but yet people still cross the roads without using the designated crossings. It is not only dangerous to themselves but also to the traffic. You will face a fine if you are caught jaywalking. But not all roads have this sign, only busy roads.

For other sky watchers, please hop over to Skywatch blog.

At the Park

Still taking a stroll along the beach and the little park beside it.

Admiring flowers and plants as I stroll but dont ask me the names of the trees ...lol, I am not familar with their names.

I guess these fruits/seeds are waiting for birds to help them disperse and grow into tiny plants.
Now who might be living in this hole.

My World Tuesday - Taking a stroll along the Beach

This week, lets go to the beach for a stroll. I guess you are all tired of the malls...lol. Time to get some nice fresh air instead of being inside an aircondtioned mall.

We dont have the nicest looking beach but the sea is so very important to us.
Ships have to pass our shore and take refuge here to refuel and re stock food. If you are living on the western of the earth, the products (i.e. television, microwave, computer, etc) you bought from Japan, South Korea or China, they have to be ship to the west via our sea. So our port is very busy (one of the busiest port in the world) and it helps us with our economy too.
