Haji Lane is my kind of lane

It was a usual stressful week, when the H announced he was assigned for a work trip to Singapore for a few days, it was the icing to  the cake. SO I membebeled till the cows came home.

" Right u know its dewan week? macam mana schedule Ayra kena rearrange, its the middle of the week bagusla bagusla pening la kepala yana macam ni WHY do u have to go every MONTH? bla bla bla"

After listening patiently  the H said the most wonderful words a stressed journo mommy can hear : Ikutla kita still ada autopass we drive in after Dewan on Thursday and then can go check out H& M kedai Hina dan Murah hahahahah ok jangan marah lagi!

Lepas tu saya senyum meleret leret leret sampai telinga. But because we have travelled to Singers a few times we were running out of places to go, I turned to trusty google for some other options. And Haji Lane popped out.

The description read : This tiny lane, hidden away in the heart of the Muslim quarter, is a fashionista's paradise. With very little fanfare, the collection of narrow shop-houses have, in less than a year, been transformed into an aggressively hip retail stretch recalling Le Marais in Paris or New York's Meatpacking District.

Know It Nothing is a stylish industrial space that stocks beautifully tailored dress shirts stitched with silver skull buttons by Japanese label Garni. Next, pop into Pluck for its shabby chic collection of Austin Powers–inspired cushion covers and a cute ice-cream parlor.

A few doors down, Salad boasts a range of home accessories like laser-cut table mats and Hong Kong–based Carrie Chau's quirky postcards. If you're feeling peckish, have an authentic Middle Eastern lunch around the corner at Cafe le Caire.

*grins* the description was spot on!  Haji Lane is a shopping paradise especially for those who have a liking for quirky stuff, I loved it!

We didn't go to many places since it was a weekend and a bit crowded. H&M was the worst. I coudnt breathe let alone shop. SO it was Haji Lane and just enjoying the hotel facilities. Which was a nice break from the daily routine, here are the piccies, I didnt upload them on FB since they are a lot of Singapore pictures there are already. IF any of you shopaholics are heading down to Singers do give this quaint lane a visit I am definitely coming back! 

The view from our room we were on the 47th floor. It was nice but I secretly wish that we had more of a sea view, and not so much of buildings. Well beggars can't be choosers!

Ayra and Me I know what she is thinking, mama is such a poser! LOL

The infinity pool. The is actually a gap for the water to fall through and also a little space built in at the bottom in case of accidents. The H who is afraid of heights checked it out just so everyone was safe LOL

Something is wrong with my hijab I look like my head is stuffed  or something. Ayra looks like a seasoned traveller with her brochure and all

The Sultan Mosque near Arab street, the architecture of the mosque is old school.

A little cafe in Kampong Glam. Gotta love the name!

Haji Lane independent boutiques me loves!
