PINOY DAY

Unlike Jakarta that goes to sleep on Sundays, Singapore's Orchard Road is buzzing with loads more people doing their shopping or simply hanging around the area just to see and be seen. I'm not sure if it's because of the Singapore Great Sale but last Sunday was sooooo full of people.

It is common knowledge that Lucky plaza is where most Phillippino maids hang out. Sunday is their day off. Lucky Plaza on Sunday?? Pinoy Plaza. I don't mean it in a mean way but it was simply amazing that you can probably do a population survey on the numbers of Pinoy in Singapore just by hangin around Lucky Plaza on a few Sundays. Amazing. And not only that, even on phone stores, Sunday is a Pinoy Day; you get bigger discounts calling to the Philippines. Or so they want you to believe. It's cheaper to call everywhere in the world on a Sunday. Ha!
