This week passed very very fast.
It is already thursday!
It seems like monday yesterday.
Well, today stayed back to study with pearl, alex and saw bian.
But saw bian went off early.
We played bridge too!
HAHA!
Today's quite good.
Finished my math asignment 10 and gp correction essay.

CO performance today at Bukit Timah CC.
And a Buffet Lunch! haha.
Then took 174 to orchard.
We meet with yanqiu and my sister.
After a while, we decided to go queensway.
It was like that the last time too.
Yanqiu bought her wallet, then we went around looking for bags.
In the end, Pearl and my sister bought the same bag(puma)-->$50, and i bought a nike bag which costs $64.
YeaH!
At least there were something for us to carry home.

PRB gathering!
We ate stingray, cockles, octopus, fried rice!
WAH!
And its cheap!
Food are nice too though.
We went to play pool too.
It was fun!
But i lost to yanqiu.
I am such a noob. Sometimes an easy ball will become a difficult ball to me.
Really a noob. Don't know what to say...
And in the end, we played till 9pm.
Sorry to those who need to reach home early.
But xinyi was addicted to pool after this session! HAHA!
Yea! MEB- external benefits to third party!
Argh! and here am i talking about economics, when i failed so badly!
I need a A for promos to pass my economics, and i am just talking of a PASS!
PATHETIC!

Good news!
Exempted from math.
Bad news!
Just 3 marks from a exemption for chem.
Common test! All due to that!
But perhaps, like what a teacher said, it could be a blessing in disguise.
I hope that is true, to some extent.
Actually, deep down in my heart, i wanted to take the math promotional exam, i am really afraid that i would slack off and result in disastrous effects...
Thinking deeply...
Buying a new bag soon...
Excited. Happy.
Sunday is the day.
Its either crumpler, nike or adidas.
Choose one.
=)

Students' Leaders camp.
Well, i just came back from the camp.
No, i should not say 'just'. Its 4 hours since i came back. And i slept all the way to now.
Homeworks are not done yet, although most have been completed.
JC is really difficult. We have to cope with a lot of other things, besides studies.
And there is the element of laziness in everyone. This adds more to the stress level in people. But there is a element of fun in everything, it is up to you to define fun.
I have indeed learnt a lot from the camp.
It inspires me a lot. Perhaps, we should change our mindset on some things. Instead of blaming other people, why not choose to reflect on yourself and sort this out? Instead of asking your mum for a birthday present, why not give your mum a card to thnak her for giving birth to you years ago?
Perhaps, you will be shocked at seeing this, but just think about it, this really makes some sense afterall.
Always do the best you can in everything you do. Always do the opposite of what people think you will do, give them surprises. Always believe in yourself that you are the best, and you can be the best.

Got back some of my results today.
It was quite bad...
Disappointed with my chem...
Really sad.
The worst thing is can't get exempted from promos...
ARGH!
REALLY MAD!
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5th AugToday is the first day we reached Macau.
This is my first time here and i am quite excited to see all the casinos.
We took Budget airlines and we had to walk to the plane on our own. The seats were quite small but it was a good experience for all. We saw a big rainbow when travelling to macau. WOW!
The hostel rooms were quite big and spacious. Nice environment.
Then we went to Island's weekly fair.
We had dinner at a Chinese Restaurant.
Then we walked around the place and saw a few casinos.They tried to attract tourists by showing nice performances.
It was wonderful!
(photos later)
6th AugWe had our first lesson today. It was on the introduction to casino Math and the 2 different games: Baccarat and SicBo. We were separated into our groups and start our mini casino. It was very fun, exspecially when there is a group of people playing at the booth. I shouted till my throat was very pain! ARGH! Our group were quite successful in our wins( because i was the player.. hahas). What matters most is the fun and enjoyment that we had during the game. One of the teacher took other booths' money and gamble them off! And everyone blame the teacher! LOL.
We went for dinner and shopping!
But i only bought 1 thing today...
7th AugAs usual, we had breakfast followed by the usual lessons(House advantage, Expected value, Variance, Standard Deviation, Probability).
The lessons today were more of calculations and formulae. It was more interesting.
After that, we had the mini casino again. We changed some of the tactics and realised that we earned more money.
After dinner, we went to the fountain (Wynn Casino) and watch the spectacular performance there. I was very fascinated and thought that this would attract players to the casino.
Macau is really full of casinos.
8th AugLessons are still as usual and it is more interesting. Conditional Probability, Bayes'Law.
I learnt many things today!
SPIN PEN! SHUFFLE CARDS WITH ONE HAND! WOW!
We did our group project and we finished what we need to do for today beautifully with one teacher's help.
At least, we can finally set our mind on play and fun! HAHA!
We went Macau Fisherman's Wharf and saw very beautiful things. But i didn't buy any gifts though.
At dinner, because of my very bad sore throat, i drank lemon water and ate a few pieces of lemon (5) and they were so sour. YUCKS!
And our group earned the most money, thanks to our great gambler(whale)!
9th AugNATIONAL DAY! SINGAPORE 42TH BIRTHDAY! WOW! Time really flies.
Today louisa, yongxin, fenglan and i were late for breakfast because of some miscommunication.
Well, we ate only 2 egg tarts because of the delay.
Today we learnt about Blackjack and continued doing our project. It was quite smooth-sailing.
Mr Seah did a presentation on casino gaming and showed us a clip on how professional players play in casino. It was an eye-opener for me. I also learnt many things from him, such as pen-spinning, shuffling of cards and how to deal cards properly. This trip is quite worthwhile afterall.
We went to a Portuguese restaurant to have our dinner.
We also went to buy pastas and some biscuits. And i finally bought some biscuits and cuttlefish! HAHA!!!
We watched NDP online! WOW! The performances were nice and fantastic! But i was quite disappointed as it ended quite early.
10th AugToday is our final day of studying! We learnt about the psychology and social impacts of gambling. In the afternoon, it was our presentation time! It was okay except for some flaws here and there. However, we did not manage to win the top prize, well, at least we did our best. We also got our certificate for casino gaming. We GRADUATED! After 5 days of hard work, we finally get something out of it!
Then we ate dinner at Macau Tower. It was 233 metres high and i suppose it was the tallest building in Macau.
It was fascinating and spectacular! We took the lift up to the 58th floor! And the lift only takes arounds 46 seconds. We could feel the pressure in our ears as the lift went up! The feeling is similar to taking a plane, except that we are standing. lol. Wonderful feeling! We ate out dinner at 360 degrees cafe and it was at lvl 60. It will turn 1 revolution every 1 hour. Very NICE! After dinner, we watched the movie 'Surf Up' in Cantonese. I did not understand a sentence of what they were talking about but it was an experience afterall.
Mr Seah also showed us some magic. Spoon bending! WAH! I was shocked by it and really wished that i could do all these stuff!
Magic sure does have its own magic. It fascinates people everyday, even if its the same kind of magic.
11th AugIt was shopping day for everyone!
We slept late and wake up late today! (8.30am)
We went to Senado's Square(i think) and bought some chips, cards, die.
I wanted so much to buy a mahjong set but it seems strange and weird carrying a mahjong set around the shopping centre.
Then we went to shop. I bought 2 shirts at MOP$80. I also bought socks(different colours). They were quite cheap. We ate MacDonalds for lunch! ARGH! PATHETIC! We were rushing for time and that is the reason why we ate MAC.
Eating the same food in different environments. Hmm...
Rain started pouring down. And it was raining cats and dogs soon after.
We separated into groups of 4 and took a cab to New YaoHan. By the time we reached there and settled everything, it was already 4.30pm.
We were given till 6pm to shop and have a light snack.
Louisa, Yongxin and i went to levels 1 and 2 only, without knowing that there were NIKE and ADIDAS shops on the thrid floor.(due to someone's words saying that level 3 only have food)
Only 3 of us did not go to level 3 and we raised our hands up when the teacher asked if anyone haven't finished their shopping! FUNNY!
We ate a very fast dinner at level 4 foodcourt. Hainan Chicken Rice! LOL.
Then we quickly rushed to the NIKE , ADIDAS, PUMA... shops.
I bought a adidas jacket(S$70) and converse shoe(S$52). It was considered cheap!I hesitated for a moment but set my mind to buy it because i wanted to spend all my money. HAHA!
Then we waited for the bus and headed back to hostel to pack our stuff.
We reached airport at around 10pm.
Then there was some delay and we departed for Singapore at around 12.50am.
12th AugI did not really sleep very well in the plane. Perhaps due to leg pain...
I touched down on Singapore at 4.20am.
Finally, it was home sweet home.

Yesterday i watched harry potter with yanqiu and pearl.
We watched at JE because the timing there fits our timing.
There was a lot of censorship and they cut some parts of the book.
Well, perhaps they want to show the main idea, that's all.
All in all, it was quite okay.
I hope the next movie will be better because it is the part where someone will die...
It only gets better.
Well, tomorrow i am going to macau already and i had not finished packing a lot of things. Aww...
i Hope everything goes on well...

Common test are over!
O-V-E-R OVER ah OVER!
HAHA!
But i am afraid that i can't do well...
Well, like what i said, its over!
No use brooding over it!
Later its harry potter time!
Woo!
And soon, its going to be holiday time!
MACAU!
But its a school trip. And most of the time we are studying.
SIAN!
I kind of regretted going macau.
After exams, it is supposed to relax and not get back into all those lectures!
ARGH!
Well, at least i get to sit the aeroplane once again!
It will be independent living for a week!
Kind of afraid, though.
One whole week not in singapore!
And can't watch the NDP performance!
My first time not celebrating national day in singapore!
A different thing!

I need to worry less.
I need to live a happier life.
What's with that always worrying and thinking and frustrating over things that don't really need to be cared about?
Argh!
Perhaps, i have been thinking too much.
Far too much.
But i can't just let this go on right?
I need to brainwash this person's mind.
Squeeze some facts into that person's mind.
This is important.
Or else, life is going to be tough.
The going is tough, but the tough gets going.
I can make it. I can do it.
My aim is to live a happier life.
Everything's going to be okay.

Happy birthday Huiying!!!
Wah!
Time flies!
And it really does...
Today is my chemistry common test paper...
It is disappointing.
Well, what can i expect?
An exemption from promos anymore?
What's the point of working so hard and the result turns out to be disappointing?
I can only look forward and hopes everything turns out as what i expected.
There is still one more paper left.
But i have no confidence in that subject. PHY.
Well...
And there is some unwanted trouble...
Haiz...
