Batik & Flea-tique




The agenda for the nite was to hit the nite flea market held at the Singapore Art Museum but we ended up spendin much time engaged in artsy exploration, thanx to a Batik Workshop held there, thanks to my cuzzin Sitz who insisted she wanted to try it hands-on. So we all had our batik fun!

What's most pleasantly surprisin is the workshop instructor was actually my ex-MCSS mate, Dino Hafian. Never knew him as an artsy person but through a twist of fate, he is now a batik artist! Major surprise as i always remember him like an "Adventure" dude, nevertheless, we had fun & it was really nice gettin reacquinted again.

Like Sadiq said, I'm actuallly kinda proud that people from my school mostly didn't turn out so bad since it was one of the most notorious or non-credited school in Singapore.

We did end up at the flea market & i got away with 2 tops & 2 cutie hairclips for less than $50! Yeay!
