Mrupupup just happened to be at Haig Road Hawker Centre and saw this shop that sells baking materials. Gim Hin Lee, also branded as Bake King, sells baking supplies. Mrupupup first time entered such a shop which is located at Blk 10 Haig Road near to the hawker centre. Mrupupup saw a wide selection of baking supplies: wedding couple figures those placed onto of a cake, chocolate sauce, mini dinosaurs, chunks of chocolate for cooking, special baking cups, flour and colouring for the cakes. Very interesting place and think would not be too expensive to shop for baking supplies since the shop is located at a HDB void deck. Ok, let's go baking!  

Dempsey Hill is a popular place in Singapore. Dempsey Hill is located near to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The place is filled with furniture shops, high end restaurants, butchery, brewery, and also arts gallery filled with very nice art pieces. Mrupupup took a few hours to walk around Dempsey Hill and discovered interesting images. Mrupupup even saw a collection of very colourful parrots next to a shop selling carpets. Interesting finds- $0.80 cold coke from Huber's butchery (quite cheap), many types of meats & beers from Huber's butchery and saw a huge fish in the pond in front of the 'Dempsey Hill' sign board, got a durian seller at the side road and a furniture shop that sells wooden chests and many types of wood products. Dempsey Hill is a very interesting place in Singapore. Got  a huge fish in the pond! Linda's Gallery Go West !!! Figures from Linda's Arts Gallery Huge Cow in Huber's Butchery

Mrupupup attended Uniqlo Stretch Jeans launch at Ion Orchard. The whole launch event was a snazzy affair and very nice. Uniqlo really wanted to do well to launch their new product Stretch Jeans. At the event, there were TV stars (Joanne Peh and Rebecca Lim), models, fashion show, food, and a very cool string music quartet (Piezo String Quartet). The best part was Uniqlo gave us $50 voucher to spend in their Ion Orchard store and happily Mrupupup got a shirt and many coloured socks! Very nicely done Uniqlo. Check out the photos and videos.

7 Eleven is Mrupupup's happy partner when one needs their favourite items like snacks and drinks. Well, Mrupupup went to the nearby store to stock up on Straits Times (need to read up on the latest social media news from old media!), 8 Days magazine (catch up on TV stars gossip) and Snickers ('peanut butter' flavour- to give energy to read so many articles!). Just fun to visit the 7 Eleven store. Check out the pictures of things Mrupupup bought and leading brands in 7 Eleven (even got Halloween stuff). Pretty good - got promotion $3 for two 'peanut butter' snickers bar plus newspapers and 8 Days- all set for a brand new day. Just dreaming that I can visit Japan - the land where convenience stores are abundant including the 7 Eleven store and Mrupupup just wants to walk in and purchase from a 'Japanese' 7 Eleven store in Tokyo! Oh, so dreaming.... Thanks 7 Eleven - hope my dreams will come true.

The 'Better Toy Store' at Ngee Ann City Singapore #04-20 had the Sesame Street Ernie flying a plane! Super cool. This toy store is unique as it imports many toys especialy those wooden toys that helps to stimulates a kid's mental ability. The toy store is fun even for adults and place to indulge in a little bit of childhood nostalgia. Mrupupup just love playing with the wooden toys, train sets, interesting child play and small toy soldiers & animals. Ok, check it out Ernie is flying in his Red Plane.... woooooo!

Mrupupup went to the Miyazaki Fair @ Isetan Scotts Road (Singapore) Basement Level, 23 Aug to 2 Sep 2012. The Japanese sells many food items from special rice, Japanese ice cream (very nice!), plums, sweet potato, snacks and cakes and many more! Go and see the fair or you can take a look at the pictures below. Mrupupup bought their milk ice cream and taste very nice and unique! The prices for the Japanese food items are at a discount. If you are familiar with Japanese shopping mall, you can do some trying before you buy. Anyway, have fun and do take note not to go to the fair too late for they close early at 7pm daily till 2 Sept 2012.

Mrupupup went to the China Square Central Flea Market. The shopping centre is near to Chinatown and at the junction of Cross Street and South Bridge Road. Mr Upupup was totally amazed at the 60 plus stores selling mostly collectibles, lots of toys, antiques, posters, clothes, watches and many interesting stuff. If you happen to be in the Chinatown area, do take a walk to the China Square Central on a Sunday morning. The place was buzzing with activity from 11am onwards with many people trading and buying cheap/value for money stuff. Mrupupup was totally amazed at the varied toy collections and the flea market was like a popular toys trading arena. Mrupupup never knew the World Wrestling dolls were very hot toys - selling at $15 a piece! Do check out China Square Central on a Sunday from 11am to 6pm. If you are lazy on a Sunday, just take a look at the pictures which Mrupupup took.
