Ramadan Bazaar Essay

Improved Essays
The thing I love about Singapore is the union of various multiracial groups.

Everywhere in the world, Muslims are celebrating Ramadan. Right here in the little red dot, we have the yearly Ramadan Bazaars where Muslims go to after breaking fast and make traditional festive goods purchases as they prepare for Hari Raya Aidilfitri. With a whole lot of them scattered around Singapore, the biggest and most buzzing Ramadan Bazaar's located at Geylang Serai.

Believe it or not - this is my first experience at the Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar! I used to look at the bazaar through the car windows as my parents drove by, but never actually got down to join in the festivities before.

This year, it's slightly different - I've finally put an end to the

As I bought from 2 different stalls, I thought this stall was more generous with the servings.

Thai food is all the rage at the bazaar. Other than the Coconut Ice Cream that's circulating its way through social media, Thai Iced Tea and Coconut Shake that's topped with ice cream was also well-received! At the same stall, they also offer Nutella Milkshake.

Other interesting food choices to look out for are the Fried Oreos, Fried Ice Cream Rolls and Traditional Snacks!

SHOPPING

Expect rows after rows of traditional and modern clothing, Persian carpets, toys, accessories, mobile accessories, artificial flowers, japalang stuff, etc. up for sale!

GAMES

I chanced upon this game stall out of the many there were at the bazaar and played for a round. Players had to burst balloons with darts for $4 a round. Prizes are given to those who manage to burst at least 4 balloons and above!

Oh, what have I missed out all these years!? I see myself going back at Geylang Serai's Ramadan Bazaar soon as I haven't bought all that I wanted yet despite being there for 2 hours!

Have you spotted any other interesting bazaars around your neighbourhood? Let me know about your experience!

    How much faith does your school have in you? As personal responsibility is something often seen lacking in students, having an open campus lunch policy provides students with the right kind of responsibility to help them go forward in their life. A student can feel empowered to make the right choices for their own future. Having full faith of the school behind the student, they are more likely to make the right choices. Students should be allowed to eat lunch off campus because it will teach them responsibility, as well as it being a stress reliever and a social situation skill builder.…

    The Heard Museum The Heard museum was founded in 1929 by Dwight and Maie Heard, and has become internationally recognized for its collections, education programs, and festivals. The museum prides itself on portraying Native arts and culture in a sensitive and accurate way, while telling the story of American Indian people with art. I had no preconceived ideas about the museum, I knew a lot about Native Indians, First Nations peoples in certain tribes, but I also knew there is more to learn, therefore, like in any other new experience, I approached it with an open mind. As the tour began, it was explained that the Native Indians lands in Arizona once encompassed the entire state and more. However, their lands currently only cover a small percentage…

    The Mexica, a tribe of Nahuatl-speaking people, travelled south from what is now known as Mexico, to the waters on the coast of the islands of Lake Texcoco in the valley of Mexico.
