Maxi-Cash, when Singapore middle class goes to pawnshop

This ads is make me want to remove my Rolex and exchange it for a X-box 360. Seriously. But alas, I dun have such an pricey watch, nor any chain made of gold. I pawned them away 10 years ago.

Pawnshop nowadays high class liao. My mind still has pictures of woman who tries to cover her face with a scarf(scarf is cheap then), and a over sized sun-glass. Looking left-right to ensure nobody is following them. Even coming near to any pawnshop is sia-shui, mum told me.

Never mind what the older generation believes, to sell gold and jewelery during 'good' time is a proper trade. It proves that as a man, you can pick-it-up, lay-it-down. And provides your family the best is more important than yourself looking your best.

So, now you can visit the pawnshop with your family. Tell your kids that this is not a shameful thing to do. Tell them it's ok to trade that expensive jade bracelet for a PS3.

Introduce Cantonese song - Wall-E Hong Kong, 七百年后, Eason Chan



 I Love the lyric. One of the best I came across. Check out 林若宁.

七百年后

作曲:柳重言 作词:林若宁
编曲:柳重言 监制:柳重言/DavyChan/CY/陈奕迅

你那太空舱 能够发出金色的光
我废置一方 抬头便会为你守望
一天天催迫生活在现代化
缤纷星空抛低我寄存繁荣垃圾岗
多得你原谅我肮脏

送你破黑胶 廉价发出歌声依稀
送你破灯泡 便宜地照亮你天地
一箱卡式带一直没落仍能回味
那套旧文艺戏
生生不息的凄美爱情逾越物质跨过世纪

文明能压碎 情怀不衰
无论枯乾山水
旧时年月投入垃圾里
你我一起同居
仍然能送你 儿时玩具
老地方抱著一起安睡
七百年 潮流里
瞬息过去 / 建筑统统破碎

弃置那棵花 容我带它的根归家
送你这棵花 来怀念已逝去初夏
漆黑的星体花叶树木无从留下
你会在流泪吗
花开的沙丘滋养我们贫穷地方优美似画

天天进化热潮已记不起
用霓虹去建设欢喜
虽则你我被每粒星唾弃
我们贫乏却去到今昔

文明能压碎 情怀不衰
无论枯乾山水
旧时年月投入垃圾里
你我一起同居
仍然能送你 儿时玩具
老地方抱著一起安睡
七百年 随年岁
记忆老去
仍然有你的忠心~爱侣
