Setting Up A Stall @ The Curve Flea Market?
Then my colleague who's a regular to The Curve started to mention about the personalized cupcakes that were sold for the whooping price of RM3 per cupcake at the flea market. And our conversation ended up with the rental of spaces at the flea market for business during weekend.
Well, I'm not sure what kind of products are salable but second hand books are definitely not available there. I'll check with my friends and see if they are interested.

I've Got Tagged Again!
Okay, this is another meme and this time it's from Izad. I've decided not to pass it to anyone since I've mentioned in my previous blogging tips post that meme's a turn-off.
What were you doing 10 years ago?
It was 1997. I was in my second year in a local university and living happily with my fellow housemates. However, I was struggling financially and had to work as a promoter in a supermarket in Kajang after lectures. Sometimes I would stand whole day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and listen to the same songs countless times everyday. I wasn't really happy with the course I took in university but I did enjoy doing presentations and mingle with other course mates.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
I did a lot of freelance writing and editing jobs back then. Always a lone ranger at work and was missing the 'normal' working life surrounded by colleagues and free drinks at the pantry. However, I love the flexibility I had back then. I can work through the midnight till morning daylight and sleep the whole afternoon.

Merdeka advertisement that touches my heart
The commercial reminds us about the filmmaker's award-winning movie, Sepet, which explores the love between a Chinese boy and a Malay girl. It also remind us that we should be like the children, colour blind and live without prejudice and judgment.
