We went to the Public Garden flea market at the national museum. Since it was free and guess what. Free entry to the exhibits at the museum too! Woooo.

Well, this is seriously Sarah and that's all you need to know for now.
Mangafest 2013!
Mangafest 2013‘s events for the weekend was held at The Arts House and Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann City. The Arts House’s exhibit was from 10am to 8pm. I lurked outside, eating my Old Chang Kee porridge as I waited for my friends to arrive.
And good grief… It was Saturday morning and I saw lots of people going up to the second floor where the exhibition was held at the Gallery.
Beanstro!
Technically we went to Beanstro on that 19th Jan after we went to the SG Handmade Movement. The branch we went to was the one at Ngee Ann City, the one with Takashimaya. Mind you, this is our experience with Beanstro for that day and it was awesome.
A few notes, Beanstro is the fancier version of The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. It’s got more food than their regular cafes. From the moment at this post, we only know that there’s one at Marina Bay Sands and just this one at Ngee Ann City. That’s it.
Also, wanted to put in the whole menu of Beanstro in this post but decided it was too much so heck that. You’ll get the price range idea with what we ordered cause we ordered quite a bit anyway!

Now, let’s get to it.
No Trouble in Little China
The library at Chinatown opened on the 31st of January 2013. We went there because we could. It’s at the top floor of Chinatown Point!
A Valentine’s Day ukulele special
What better way to use that groupon / voucherwow / online bargain ukulele that you just bought than to serenade to your loved ones? Sure, you have approximately 12 days left. That’s why I’m offering private sessions for beginners to learn the ukulele in one hour!
This is a crash course to just play that ONE song that you want to play on Valentine’s Day.
This is for:
- Beginners who have no freaking clue how to play a ukulele at all
- Those who will practice after the session because even if one session can teach you the basics, you’ll still need practice to be good
- Those who are too busy to go to classes in music school
Of baulu and barang
We went over to Jo’s place because her granny was making kueh baulu the traditional way. Yes, with coals and a charcoal stove thing as you can see above! Chinese New Year’s next month and thus, they’re baking kueh.
The first SG Handmade Movement!
Fort Canning green. That’s where the first Handmade Movement Singapore would be held on the 19th January 2013.
It didn’t stop raining.
And it’s… N.E.mation! 7
Guys, do you remember N.E.mation! from last year? If you could recall, I WENT TO THE USA with the winning team. It’s back again this year and the 10 teams’ Animation Clips are all ready to be voted. This year’s theme is “Together We Overcome” as you can plainly see on their logo. YOSH!! TEAMWORK. Togetherness! Wooo!
Each team in N.E.mation! has worked hard for us to finally watch it. The best you can do is watch and vote for them.
Plus… you can win prizes JUST by voting!
It’s Pantry Magic not Pant…
It’s Chinatown! And it’s all decked out to prepare for Chinese New Year. I was there because I was going to Pantry Magic.
Have a break!
We had a break. Sometimes you need to have a mini break where you can eat pizza or burgers or candy stuff at someone’s house and play video games. That is what we did.
Also, I guess we really did eat a lot of kit kats from Japan! Strawberry, blueberry cheesecake, green tea and wasabi.
In other words, this is like a filler episode post.
