Is there any place/shop that I should not attempt to patronise due to my lack of ability to speak cantonese? Years ago, I had a colleague who told me that I should not attempt to communicate in any other language except cantonese at Ladies Market/Temple Street unless I want to get scolded by the stall holders.

no lah, just to steal ideas on how to make full use of all the space in my flat. as the flats there could be tiny, the creative usage of space is something i like.

i also like to go to their 杂货店 (mini home store) to check out the household accessories etc.

haha, think i have been a sahm for too long........... :evil:
