Pasar Pink 2022


I was totally hoping that the weather would be kind because I wanted to go to Pasar Pink organized by PinkFest x Sunday Social. It rained through the night, but it cleared up by the time Pasar Pink opened. I decided to pop by earlier slightly before lunch instead of jostling with the crowd at the popular mid-afternoon timing. 

Pasar Pink was held at See Sing Soon Garden Center; it's sheltered and breezy, and it was also pet-friendly. Oddly, I was very hungry, so I zoomed straight to The Good Burger's truck for its a classic burger, and got some coffee. Then I was in a more sociable mood. Heh. We stayed on a little longer than usual than we normally do at events. A number of dogs went there, and we also said hello to a number of friends. Choya was done with socializing and kept reminding us that she was hungry and wanted to go home for lunch. Okaaaay, smol girl. 

There were booths run by some small businesses of which I wanted to kaypoh. I wanted to get some pins from Heckin' Unicorn, and some new sailor bows for Choya. The man also wanted to taste The Daily Broth's beef and chicken bone broth, and vegan broths so we got a few jars. Since the venue is a garden center, if you really want to, you could buy some plants, pots and soil and such. 

It's prudent to split up Pink Dot SG and Pink Fest so that the festivities are differentiated, and everyone could join in. The Pink Dot main event itself at Hong Lim Park could only be attended by Singaporeans and Permanent Residents. Having Pink Fest on another day and at another venue would reach out to more people, and offer options. 

Pink Dot 14 at Hong Lim Park is happening this Saturday 18 June, 2022. If the weather permits, I'd like to go add on to the headcount at Pink Dot later on in the week. My pink NRIC has to show for something, isn't it? I'd want to take Choya along too. Let's see if I can figure out the crazy schedule. #PinkDot14
