When the Week Ends with a sunshine…

Ay-ay from the faraway land! I truly miss my homies! Read this: I MISS YOU PEEPZ! And I hate it that I could not celebrate Lectureboy Beh’s birthday and the end of Sem 5 with the rest of friends from m103! Nevertheless, I’m sure these dudes and dudettes must have had a massive blast of fun!
I promised a few of my homiez back home that I will update and will tell what’s a day in Glasgow… on a weekend seem like. Anyway, today was good day. With fine sunshine and a lil’ summer breeze. Not wet at all, thanks to the sky of Scots’.
Morning Glasgow! And some of you may guess who could have woke me up with this pic…
And when all thought it was a good summer day to run about, the sky can be demoralizing at times…
Ay-yay, we’re on our way! Honestly, walking is the main activity ever since i stepped foot on this land. To add challenge in lifestyle here, climbing is next after walking… There we are, on the way to the morning mart, The Barras. To Aussie peepz, this place is like Vic Mart, only difference is the place has more scattered stalls… and hotdogs though. This is where people of Scots get cheap bargains and fresh vege and fruits here. Can be considered a pseudo-ChiChiongKai (Chinatown, KL)
Hoho! And whatd’ya knooo… The Scottish kilts are on sales here…
Hah, and what’s around the corner of The Barras, is this place, the Amusement Centre… And those are whole heapz of pounds and pennies there… (Ow, imagine what’s it like for a person like me whining bout every pennies spent, while people there just slot their coins there). People here gamble and drink all day long. These sort of amusement centres and pubs ACTUALLY open from 9.30am-12midnite…
And as we browse through… these are the recycled toys. Wamba-freaking coooool! Impressive.
And people here are “mighty-friendly”, I might say. I mean… what happen was i wanted a self picture and this Mr nice fellow wanted to take a pic with me as well. Oh well… there, a typical Scotsman (you can notice the beer belly and it’s REALLY typical for men to have them here).
Street performance are very well regarded here. The people really do watch them and dance along, and then give them a big applause as the performers finish. What warmth. *schweet*
Aah, a great day indeed. On other more “ordinary” days, wearing shorts like this can be quite impossible to even stand straight.
And the day usually ends at around 5pm, when all shops are closed and the streets getting more plain and progressively emptying… So we usually turn around at 11 evening and say “Goodnight Glasgow!”
Glad to see you having phun in Scotland. Take care… Cya next year…
