So I headed to Mustafa after the movie. It was after midnight so the streets were much quieter.
Jam/ fruit puree/ fruit concentrate that Mustafa suggested eating with prata.
Delighted to see my favourite Red Leaf pens though I didn't buy any.
Even more delighted when I turned a corner and stepped into pencil heaven.
Shelves of wooden pencils waiting to be sharpened. There was also pail heaven. And dishwashing sponges heaven. And water bottle heaven. Lots of heavens, depending on what rocks your world.
Went home. Finished a book. Hesitated. Then headed out again.
Chinatown for my favourite glutinous rice. The two smiley, friendly uncles have two more helpers now. The price has also increased (from $1 to $1.20) and there're also $1.50 and $2 portions. But that's super cheap for something that is so bloody good.
That shophouse is lopsided. And I was a little disturbed by the repaint job when I first saw it. But the yellow and green have since grown on me.
Lantern time. Did you ever play with candles at old playgrounds or along the corridors? I loved that about Mid-Autumn when I was a kid. It was always "Yes! That time of the year to play with fire again!".
Decided to squeeze in a trip to this estate at Bendemeer. I always go past on my bus rides and I love the way the blocks of flats look. There's so much detail.
And I started to get woozy and decided to head home to bed. Sleep debt is hard to pay back. Still freaking sleepy now, despite collapsing soundly from 1 to 4pm, and then again at 11pm till 9am this morning.

I like how the white bendemeer flats look too, and I thought I was the only one. LOL. I used to go there all the time for the 興化炒面線。But the mother and daughter left.
Nice excursion. =D
It's a very pretty estate. Was all peaceful and serene-looking till I got to the buzzing market. Might go back there to eat one day when my stomach is empty and my head is not spinning. =)
This reminds of me of what i miss about singapore- being able to walk into a shop in the wee hours of the morning, not a chance in australia!
