However, my family will always be my first priority, especially my kids, they are the reason why we are working hard. So despite the toxic schedule,  I still found the time to bond with my family as I brought them along this Sunday to do my errands. And we even had time to pass by SIDCOR Sunday Market, now located at the ETON Centris Walk.

I have been curious to see what SIDCOR Sunday Market has to offer since I can always see Centris Walk’s parking space jampacked every Sunday morning. As I walked, I realized how Filipinos are so fond of tiangges or flea markets.

The SIDCOR market offers a wide variety of products. I guess this replaces the “market day” for most of the shoppers there.

You can find fresh seafoods….

Fruits and vegetables…

Household Furnishing and Accessories

and even plants.

There’s a lot more you can find at the SIDCOR Sunday Market. I was just too busy shopping to take photos:-)

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: It is with deep regret that I had to close down Pixelbug Weekend. As much as I want to share more photos of our weekends, my crazy and busy schedule makes it very impossible for me to do so. THIS SHALL BE MY LAST POST FOR PBW and I am so sad. I shall miss posting and of course, all of you. We shall always be connected through this big virtual world. Have a great week to all of you!

Palengke o Pamilihan ang tema ngayong linggo sa Litratong Pinoy. Ang palengke ay isang lugar kung saan inilalako o itinitinda ang mga bagay, dito nagkakaroon ng transaksiyon ang mamimili at ang nagtitinda.
(Market is the theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy. Market is a place where goods are traded, this where buyers and sellers transact their business in exchange of goods.)

Sa aming pamamasyal sa Singapore ay napadpad kami sa Bugis Flea Market, isa sa pinakamalaki at pinakamurang pamilihan sa Singapore, kung baga sa Pinas ay Divisoria. Kung gusto mong humanap ng pampasalubong o mga anik-anik na mura ay siguradong dito mo matatagpuan. Mura na at pwede ka pang tumawad.

Ito ang isa sa nakatawag pansin sa akin, tindera ng buko. Kung sa Pinas ay kariton, sa kaniya naman ay parang mamang sorbetero ang design. At in fairness, malinis na ang buko, ready nang biyakin para sa mga gustong makatikim ng Thailand coconut.

At dahil sa kainitan ng araw, nauhaw ang aking esposo at naghanap ng malamig na maiinom. Buti na lang walang nagtitinda ng Coke at nauwi kami rito — pamilyar di ba? Parang yung naglalako ng “sa malamig, sa malamig…” Kaya lang fresh fruits talaga ang mga ito, mura na masustansiya pa. Magaling na pampaalis ng uhaw!

(During our stroll in Singapore, we wandered around Bugis Flea Market, one of the biggest and cheapest street market in Singapore, similar to Divisoria in the Philippines. If you are looking for homecoming treats, souvenirs or just about anything, you will surely find it here. What’s good about this place is that its cheap and you can haggle for prices.

One of the things that caught my attention is this coconut stand, unlike here, where coconut vendors are usually pushing their carts along the streets, this one is designed like a “dirty ice cream” cart. The coconut husks are already taken out ready to be cleaved for customers who want to get a taste of Thailand coconut.

And because it was a very hot day,  I guess hubs was really thirsting for something cold. Good thing there was no Coke around — we ended up in a fresh fruit stall. It’s cheap and it’s healthy. A real good way to quench your thirst!)
