I've been busy busy busy. Despite being under the weather for a couple of days, I've done a second flea market sale at Serangoon, Tai Hwan Gardens yesterday as the booth was free! A couple of stalls were set up for the mid autumn festival party held for the residents.
Lanterns set up for the event
My all time supporter heh
Thanks Nesh and Kai fen for coming down too :)
My very young but filled with purchasing power customer. I love kids when they shop with their parents heh.
Since I started MelT, I've less sleep these days but I find that my time have been more fulfilling. It got me thinking whenever someone asked me if it is worth it to do something like this? I guess there are 2 aspects to consider. Money wise or satisfaction wise. To be honest, I did not start off MelT harbouring the thoughts that I would earn big bucks. It was more of a fun activity to spice up my routine life and of course not to lose any money. Till date, I would say I have not lost in terms of monetary terms but I have gained more in terms of personal satisfaction. Something I cannot get from my full time job.
So even though I've been down with the flu bug for about 3 days, it did not deter me from having a very packed Saturday. My Saturday started off with brunch at House @ Dempsey. I love catch up gatherings with my SMU peeps over brunch at cool places so I did not want to miss this.
One of the favourites at House. 7-Layer Pancakes. The pancake was filled with assorted nuts, dried raisins, apricots etc. Actually the pancakes itself was sweet enough so I did not use a lot of the maple syrup.
After brunch, we headed off to Nette's place. It was kind of a housewarming thing. We brought along champagne and cheese too. To complete it, our house warming gift to her was a cheese plate and a cheese cutter. Sheryl was the one who chose the pressie and I thought it was perfect!
As Nette and Caleb were into poker, we ended up playing poker throughout the entire time we were there hah. Sheryl was serious abt the game.. hahah it was so comical.
