I am in the midst of planning my youngest son's 7th bday party and was in need of fabric to cover the tables and decorate with. Where to go in Singapore??? Arab Street.
Hopped in a Taxi and headed there yesterday morning. On my way to Arab Street it was interesting to people watch. What I did notice was that it is great to live in an area where people are always taking photos. When you look around it is amazing to see how many cameras are out taking photos of temples, architectural buildings, people, and just sights around Singapore. It is wonderful to see people appreciating the beauty of Singapore and its people.
Since nothing opens until 10am, I was able to walk around for a little while and enjoy the beautiful morning weather. Arab Street is known for shop after shop of fabrics. You can get quite a bargain, if you are willing to negotiate. I am new to the negations, and am not very good at it-but have learned from a few friends on what to do. So after hitting a few of the shops, got the fabric I needed for only $5 a meter (that's like $3.50 USD). Great price!!! :)

I love Arab Street - it's so colorful. You got a good deal but you could also check out Spotlight at Plaza Singapura next time should yoy need more fabrics. They have a great collection there as well and discounts sometimes.
Thank you for sharing your blog! I think Ma would like to visit Singapore:-) --Pa
