Bazaar Raya?!

Went out with Nani today in the afternoon. First stop... the DBS ATM at Paragon Shopping Centre. =P Withdrew cash then went to Swensen to have an early dinner. It was barely 6pm and there was already a queue. I wouldn't want to go later or we might end up having late supper!

After that, we went to Taka, Wisma & Paragon to look for Nani's working pants. She didn't find any that she liked. Unfortunately the shopping centre was already making its robotic announcement "we are closing ......" so we left.

We decided to take MRT to Woodlands and checked out the Bazaar Raya. What a disappointment! No doubt it was huge but would have been better to call it pasar malam. I was told that more than 100 stalls were set up there. That is true - I saw minimarts (selling instant noodles, eggs and other groceries), furniture stalls (matresses, beds for sleeping beauties & rip van winkles) and other sorts of stalls. The so-called Bazaar Raya or Bazaar Ramadhan to be more precise, occupied the same lot it did last year. Ah well... business must be quite bad. I have nothing against such things though I do hope that since it's a Bazaar Raya... proper etiquettes are observed during the fasting month. I am not requesting that the non-Muslims refrained from drink and food, but at least not to drink and eat in front of the Muslims.

I passed by one furniture shop and saw cans of beer on the table. First thought that came to mind was "where did he buy it?" Hmmm...
