Ok, within these few days, I know I haven’t been updating well, but if I want to sum it all into a sentence, it will be that I’m dreading the Sun and I’m so tanned that I don’t look like the Marcus you knew. Whatever that sentence is, I will look like a “chindian” by the last day of the Asian Youth Games. 3 more days Marcus, tolerance level is tested.
Now, let me picture you what happened the past few days that happened. Literally.
I don’t know if you guys can see but it’s the parachuters that I’m going to mention about. Anyway, this was taken while waiting for dinner at the Marina Square Food Court, and while the SAF is having their NDP rehearsal, parachuters (as usual for most NDPs) glide down after jumping off from the Chinook, spiralling down like slides at a playground.
This is the poor dog that my dad looks after at his workshop. Not really under his care, but the dog actually kinda looks after my dad’s workplace, barking at whoever strangers that walked past or into my Dad’s workplace. But if it sees that you are a regular here, he will come up to you and just sit beside you, gazing around with so much freedom to flaunt.
Then again, this dog came from a ship like at least 5 years ago and it didn’t wanna get up the boat again. It was pretty lively but got knocked down accidentally by my Dad’s friend and the poor dog went limping on one leg ever since. And my Dad’s friend felt guilty and at the same time, he felt fated to look after the dog, so he took care of it till the day he shifted out of the vicinity. Now it’s under my Dad’s care indirectly, although there are other people around looking after the dog concurrently. But it seems that it always visits my Dad regularly everyday, sitting inside the workshop and relaxing.
The other amazing thing about this dog? When it has to pee or shit, it swims to the other side of the canal at my Dad’s workplace to do his business before swimming back – that’s how fantastic this dog is. =)
Dad was trying to stick up this Carlsberg car decal sponsored by his friend and at the same time, using it to see if we can win more tickets to catch Liverpool FC playing in Singapore this 26th of July. I can’t wait though!
This is my accreditation pass to the AYG venues all over Singapore. I know I look like a criminal from the Philippines, but still, it’s my pass and stop laughing at it. I know you are laughing right now. Sheesh.
As I was sitting at the bus stop opposite Bukit Timah Shopping Centre waiting for Dawn to give me a lift to the National Sailing Centre, I look up and I saw the many things that a normal human being would wish to have. Firstly it is to have a house to call their home (which is the private apartments that you see at the back), then to have a car (which is the carpark in the front), and last but not least, to run a business of their own to have a stable job and income (on the left of the picture is the shopping centre, with stores that resembles business that you wish to set up in time to come.).
And it kept me thinking and thinking about my future, and who am I to marry to and spend the rest of my life with, to earn the amount of money to sustain the liabilities in life. Of course, it is early in the morning, but that doesn’t stop my mind of thinking about all this. Finding a girlfriend is hard already. Having a family is much more suffering, although I love the warmth. =)
Oh well, work hard for a better future. =)
Saw this pair of Vans and I thought it looked damn cool. Amazing enough, it was the size of my feet as well. Tried it on and thought it looked real cool, but then again, in the end, I didn’t buy it because I wanted to check if the outlet at Ngee Ann Civic Plaza has this, and I could have 20% off for it. This pair is lovely I tell you. =)
This is the thing that sometimes I don’t understand my mum. She makes qingqing (the girl) sit there with her potty, doing her business while facing the locked gate but with the door wide open for the world to view. And the girl happily sits there and “lepak” at one corner, singing her favourite Barney tunes (Yea yea laugh at me. LOL.) and then continues to fiddle with her fingers while hanghang (the little boy) wants to camwhore with me as seen in the picture desperately trying to pose but fails to do so because I’m not in the mood to smile. Shit that is a damn long sentence.
And whenever the girl has her business to do, that’s her favourite spot – and no one can change that. Hah.
I hiked around Orchard alone today while looking for a pair of shoes as well as other cheapo stuff, and I came across Royal Sporting House, and I saw the person I knew. So I went in and I thought this shoe was really cool and it looked like the one to replace my spoiling Converse sneakers, so I asked if this was a 20% and she said no.
Because it’s a 40% discount for me. (ALRIGHT MAN!).
Of course, I bought this below $60. A nice slip on, a good slip on, and of course, not an impulsive buy, because it’s really quite comfortable inside. But still, I’m happy with the purchase. And I’m also educated on the fact that Vans is a 40% off thing for me now. Shopping is really tempting sometimes. And I was really happy that I only manage to spend on the shoes and nothing else in fashion.
But I spent money on a Siew Mai and a Da Bau from Teck Kee Bau, a slice of Oreo Cheesecake and a medium Mango Fruit Juice from Spinelli’s, and a Chicken Briyani from Prata House and then a bottle of water and a can of 100 Plus at The Baker’s Story. I shittily spend too much money on Food and Beverages. I think it’s time to cut down on such stuff.
Then again, I don’t want to hope, but I can gurantee that there’s an estimation of about $500 more to be in my bank. Of course, if only the private party job was approved, if not I would have been more rich than I thought. Shit.
Oh well, hopefully a wedding shoot this Sunday is confirmed. It sucks to be not earning enough. =s. I have 3 more days to suffer under the sun, and it really seems that this half of the year is when other people is starting to find their right partners and falling in love all over again. Not jealous about it, but I could only sit in envy. But no point envying because it’s your fate that your fight for in life.
Well, I’m tired of fighting. It’s just not meant to be. So whatever happens will happen. Patience is still a virtue.
After all, we all wait to find the right one, don’t we?
P.S. I won’t be showing you how black I am now because I’m really quite black and it’s fugly on the face. Haha. =X
