Fun, laughter, jokes and embarrassment are what you get if you put 4 girls (who are all bloggers) together. I meet up with some fellow Singapore bloggers, Ivy, Brenda and Cherlynn last Saturday during our monthly meetup session. Terry, our wonderful organiser couldn’t make it because he was sick. With one more guy, it would be a blast! We miss you Terry, hope you get well soon. 
We meet up at Relax Bistro at Somerset 313 for lunch and here’s a peek of what we had.
Delicious looking soup
Grilled Chicken
Cherlynn is totally (not) camera-shy!
After a hearty lunch, Brenda suggested going to the flea market near by. As I’ve never been to a flea market, I gladly agreed, so did the rest of the girls. The last time I tried to go to a flea market, I spend 2 hours trying to find my way, got lost and never made it there in the end.
Come to think of it, I’ve done a couple of things I’ve never done before that day. I have never withdraw cash from an ATM machine nor have I ever been to a flea market before Saturday. I can explain myself. Let me see, the probability of Dayna losing her wallet is 10% and the probability that she will drop some cash when she opens her wallet is 30% which is about 40% in total and this is considered high risk. To mitigate the financial risk, it’s safer for her to bring lesser cash when she leaves the house. Sounds cool? 
Since it was my first time, I thought it was normal that I inserted the card in the wrong direction! Ivy helped me on that and Brenda even conducted an interview with me. I feel grown up to have finally used the ATM machine (lol).

Flowery vintage top
The flea market was packed and we had a hard time trying to escape. We went across the road to the other flea market (I’m not sure if it’s suppose to be the same one) beside Cineleisure. It’s quieter and we had a better time shopping if you ignored the hot weather. Everyone bought something and I’m no exception being a hardcore shopaholic myself.
I got myself a brand new vintage flowery top for SGD 18. It was priced at SGD 20 and Brenda manage to bargain to 18 for me. Lesson learn: always try to bargain if the tops are above SGD 15. According to the girls, the top is so me! They practically know my style 101% in an hour. I thought the photo of us above is so “blogger-style”.
We were melting by the time we “conquered” the flea market. Some air-con shopping and Sakura flowers sounds like a good plan? We headed to Takashimaya excitingly to view the exhibition of live Sakura flowers and here’s what we saw…
This fantastic video is taken and edited by Brenda. You should definitely check out her post and Cherlynn’s about our outing. It has an extremely unflattering but cute (according to her) photo of me and I’m definitely not going to post that photo of myself here. :P
Sakura flowers & a really cool pose - Photo by Brenda
Cherlynn and I look kind of dumb beside Brenda’s awesome pose. It’s kind of funny how all of us did the peace sign in a lot of photographs to piss Brenda off. =D The awesome pose ended with a bang as well as Brenda fell after a few seconds. I think a few others saw it but we were too busy wondering if Brenda’s okay to bother about the attention. At least her effort was not in vain as Ivy managed to capture this great shot of us. We should all do the star jump pose the next time we meet!
The day ended with more shopping and jokes, of course. I will proudly present the joke of the day award to Cherlynn (I’ve got a feeling she’s going to kill me for this). So what happen exactly? We were trying out some clothes at Fox. Cherlynn tried out this grey superman tank and denim shorts. We thought she look great in it and urge her to grab the top. She thought the denim shorts was a bit too short. It all happened within a few seconds when she asked the big question: Do I look like a hooker in it? And the next moment, this was what we heard over the speaker: And you ain’t nothin’ but a hooker. According to Brenda, this song is titled ‘Hooker’ by Pink. It was so much of a coincident that all of us burst out laughing uncontrollably. I feel bad for exposing her in this entry, how about a little cartoon as compensation?

HHAHA XD XD You guys are soo funny Dayna!! SORRY SORRY for not commenting lately!! Gaackk!!!
I feel so bad 
I would love to meet up my fellow blogger friends too but we’re soo far away from each other! Not like Singapore
and congrats on doing two firsts!! hhehe :P I first used the atm when I started out college and I’ve been to tiangges (what flea markets are called here in the Phils) loads! Don’t buy much though
It looks real fun to go shopping with you guys!! ahaha CHERLYNN’S A BLAST! XD hhahahaa Man I also had those moments when the song is so appropriate for the situation XD
Have fun all!
NICE ILLUSTRATION!! :P

Nah, it’s all right. Don’t worry about it! There are times when people are busy and it’s understandable.
Singapore is smaller city so I guess it’s possible for us who lives in different corners of the island to meet up together. In other countries, I don’t think it will take less than 2 hours to travel from one end to the other.

Ahahaha I love your version of that photo! So cute! :B
It’s a shame Terry couldn’t come along but I hope he gets well soon! That soup looks really interesting, and that grilled chicken looks really yummy… mmmm. Just when it’s lunchtime here too.
I remember the first time I used an ATM I went with James. I was totally confused. I remembered my PIN though! I was glad I had someone with me, because if it was the first time using one and I was alone, I might be a bit embarrassed. But there is a first time for everything. ;D I am amazed that you can check your balance just by putting your card in!
I haven’t been to a flea market. Is it much like a regular market or does it have distinguishable qualities? I usually like any kinds of markets, I love a good bargain!
31 March, 2010 at 11:35 am
Yea, I think I would be really embarrassed if I’m alone and couldn’t figure out which direction to slot the card in. With everyone in the queue looking at me to see what’s wrong, I totally feel like an idiot. :P
The stuff in the flea market is a lot cheaper than elsewhere. You can get a top or dress at 3 bucks in the bargain bins which is a really good deal. Brand new clothes at 10 to 20 bucks too. The flea market in the town area are usually run by teenagers and young adults so most of the stuff are pretty trendy and new!

I loved the hooker thing, lol.
Once when I was on holiday with my family, we were joking with my sister saying that she drank so much that she’ll wet the bed and be sailing out of the hotel room in the morning; the next minute the band starts playing “We Are Sailing” by Rod Stewart, =D
