a couple of weeks after our vacation in singapore, erik and i both got called for an interview so we had to fly back again. this time around we only stayed for almost 3 days and crammed whatever sightseeing we could after our interviews. not much shopping was done as we had a limited budget but we managed to find a few steals.
in a video rental shop near our bus stop we found original dvd's for sale. look what we got!
i've always wanted to watch this john lennon documentary but could never find a copy and i keep forgetting to download it. so when i saw it at the shop, i instantly grabbed the copy. the other film, nine, is also very interesting and was not shown i think here in manila and there's no dvd here yet. we got both dvds for around P600 only. pretty nice!
next time i'm in sg, i'll definitely raid other video rental shops.
ERIK:
You remember those Buddha beads that you use to ware during college, even if you don't what it symbolizes? I've got one! During our unplanned trip to Singapore a few days back.
So for those who want to know what is it for, Buddhist prayer beads are a traditional tool used to count time while meditating using mantras. They are similar to other forms of prayer beads used in various world religions; thus some call this tool the Buddhist rosary.
It's when we passed by Chinatown after we had our lunch. (Mmm... Hainanese Chicken Rice...) Anyway, I bought the beads just for fashion and I don't have plans of changing religion but I appreciate the meaning and usage of it.
