Yesterday was the day for the release of UPSR results, my sister, my buddy's brother and my Luckygirl's sister were one of the candidates. Frankly speaking, I had forgotten this date. My dad was so nervous and excited to go to our primary school in order to know my sister's result during his lunch time.
He told me that my sister achieved full A's once he came back home. Well done, my sister. She is currently following my footsteps. Her next target will be PMR, hopefully it is still available that time (Education Ministry plans to abolish this mid-secondary examination). I hope I can be a motivator to her.
Actually, I stressed so many times to my sister that she ought to get excellent result in order to be recruited to Penang Chinese Girl High School (PCGHS), one of the most outstanding schools in Penang and even in Malaysia, at least, she must get a result qualify for this. This is because in my opinion, a good secondary school plays a vital role in our life. She will get good education and competitive yet motivating study environment which will then shape her future attitudes and characteristics.
Being enrolled in good school also ensures her future prospects as secondary study plays a pivotal role before entering into tertiary study. If a teenage wastes his/her time in secondary school, then he/she would be unlikely to excel in tertiary study. Quote a sentence from my dad, 'Education can change your life. You, at least, won't be living in hunger with education.' . If one fails in secondary, his life is almost ruined!
When my sister came back home, I straight away told her that the UPSR result was over, it just represented a great start in her study life, it would be meaning the minute afterwards. What I meant was she had to focus on the future instead of obsessing with her current achievement. There is indeed still a long way for her to go. I also told her that we would feel excited and enjoyable when we first got the result but it turned into a rubbish or a waste paper after that.
She is now starting to ask for presents. She wants a sophisticated handphone but I had restricted her budget. I just owned a good and normal racquet each and a bicycle. She don't deserve to earn better prize than me. It's not because I'm jealous of her prize's value but it's my style to train her for not becoming too materialistic. I want to instill a 节俭 trait to her.
Okay, once again, congratulation to her and hopefully she's ready to face the future challenge.

槟榔屿华侨抗战殉职机工暨罹难同胞纪念日
昨天，11月11日是槟榔屿华侨抗战殉职机工暨罹难同胞纪念日，今年恰逢60周年，因此槟州民联政府及私人界出钱又出力来给槟榔屿华侨抗战殉职机工暨罹难同胞纪念碑，简称亚依淡纪念碑，来个改头换貌与美化。可能因为这样，今年前来拜祭的人数比往年多了不少。而且，还有许多旅客到此观光！我也不例外，也到那儿去热闹一下。拜祭仪式是每年的11月11日上午11时11分，我到达时，方10时50分左右，但是槟州首席部长，林冠英已经在那儿演讲了，而且已经到了结论。哎，又错过了！
我把摩托车停放在我的小学校门前，因为那里好难找停车位！
林首长演讲完毕，就是唱纪年歌的时候。据说，这首纪念歌已经失传多年，还好最终找到这全槟唯一一张歌谱，不然这首很有意义及纪念价值的歌便得失传、成为绝响了！这首歌虽然曲风陈旧，但是听起来却还是挺伤感的。这首歌的歌词是由我校的老师为了纪念他罹难的儿子，也就是我的学长在抗战时期遇难而写的。唱歌时，老天爷好像被我们感动般，下起了毛毛雨，不过一阵子就停雨了。
我在那儿听到很多老人家说故事。其中一位说现在的年轻人哪里懂得尊敬这些勇士，因为他们根本就不懂那段历史，也没有亲身经历过。以前他们重义气、感情、爱祖国；现代人则。。。。。。哎！他说最好这些历史故事可以一代传一代。老实说，我虽然是槟城人，也时常经过那里，因为那是我去公公家的必经之路，但是对于那座纪念碑是毫无认知的。我只是知道那是纪念二战的罹难者而已，并不知道原来当中的含义是那么伟大的，也不知道原来罹难者的骨灰都埋葬在纪念碑里！
在众多的团体代表当中，民政党的代表是最多人的，至少都有十多个以上。站在我旁边的uncle就说“司马昭之心，路人皆知也”！我当场不知道要笑好，还是离开。我明白他的意思，也知道民政党的用意，只是敏感话题还是少讲的好！
这座纪念碑除了我们本土人祭拜外，今年还吸引了外坡的人士前来。在早几年前，更吸引了一些正义的日本人，他们为他们的祖先所犯下的罪孽忏悔，誓言要把这段历史带回日本教育下一代。其实，在这纪念碑下的骨灰呢，罹难同胞大多数是我的学长及老师，因为当年钟灵师生为了自由而抗战；机工则是那些回中国建造滇缅路的勇士。
1937年7月7日卢沟桥事件爆发后，中国正式抗战。日军封锁了中国沿海各地的主要港口，可以说是所有的港口都遭封锁，以断绝中国外来的支援，因为他们扬言要在3个月内侵霸整个中国。因此，中国政府于1938年修建滇缅公路，一条被外国人誉为类似中国第二条万里长城的艰辛之路，以从中国内地直接贯通缅甸首都仰光港。
滇缅路是为了抢运中国政府在国外购买和国际华侨同胞援助的战略物资而紧急修建的，也成为当时中国与外部世界联系的唯一运输通道。这是一条诞生于抗日战争烽火中的国际通道、一条用血肉筑成的国际通道！
抗战时期，滇缅公路缺乏司机运输军备，中国政府于是通过南洋华侨筹赈会主席陈嘉庚号召南洋华侨的熟练机工及技术人员参战。3000多名南洋机工分批到安南或缅甸进入云南，其中槟城就有400多名华裔司机报名，到滇缅载运军备。二战后，三分之一死于滇缅公路，三分之一在云南终老，只有区区的100多人回到了槟城！
二战后，人们还在Thean Teik，Tanjung Bungah等地挖掘到几百具骸骨，有的还骸骨不全的，相信是遭遇日军残暴杀害的。他们的尸骨都安葬在亚依淡纪念碑下，以供世人敬仰及膜拜！他们也成为我们槟城人的骄傲！
注: 以上的部分滇缅路故事是我参考于2011年11月12日光华日报晚报的报导。

| 请到槟城者爱护我们的环境！ |
 |
| 这就是那座宏伟的纪念碑啦，也就是内藏勇士们骨灰的地方。 |
 |
| 有“真字”，要买吗？ |
 |
| 最受欢迎的塑像四面图。它展示出当时机工们在搬运军备的艰辛路程。 |
 |
| 这就是我的小学，也是我创造人生第一个辉煌的地方。阿姐，你好像也是我的学姐哦！ |
 |
| 这群小瓜们，也就是我的学弟、学妹们这么空闲跑出课室来凑热闹！ |
 |
| 看到吗？我的校长，钟灵中学现任及前任校长 -- 蔡耀祖校长及谭匡智校长。 |
 |
| 象征和平的塑像，上面及塑像身各有含义和平的白鸽。还写着“世界和平是全人类的共愿！ |

 |
| 钟灵代表团。 |
 |
| 每位出席者都会拥有的书册，上面写着“忠靈不朽，浩氣長存”。我可能是迟到的关系，没能获得此书册！ |
 |
| 哈哈，这样也让我找到钟灵的花圈！ |
 |
| 散场前，大会再度邀请大众集合在纪念碑前给罹难同胞们献最后一次的鞠躬！
以下这个片段是我在完场后拍的壁画。它展示出当时建造滇缅路的辛酸，也描绘了当时日军战机轰炸搬运军备的卡车以及当时机工、军士们避难所经过的崎岖道路。片段后段则是竖立在那里讲述当时的历史故事，欲知更多详情者，欢迎到那去参观：

Chicken Pox 2
Yo，我已经痊愈了。其实，我早就痊愈了，只是现在的感觉比较良好。很可惜，我还是得遵守某些禁忌。
刚开始得到水痘时比较痛苦，因为我发高烧的关系，所以人不舒服外，还头晕，连我计划好的东西都无法做。整天只是休息、休息、休息，对我来说那只是浪费我的时间。还好，我只浪费了一个星期的时间。我第三个星期开始就打球了。打球令我身心放松不少，而且也跟外界接触，好过每天困在家里。
现在还是要遵守禁忌，譬如说不可以吃含毒的食物、不可以淋雨等。哎，回到小食天堂却不能吃美食真是很不好受，不过一向不怎么挑食的我，觉得还过得去啦，虽然每餐的餐单都差不多。这种状况还要维持一个月，因为根据中医的说法，我得禁忌七七四十九天！
除此之外，现在的我已经没有水痘前般的容貌了，因为我的脸上多了几个小洞洞。这就是我按捺不住，手痒的关系，在我的伤口还未完全干时就搔它了。原本就不大帅气的我，现在更是雪上加霜。天啊，为何要这么作弄我呢？我以后不能靠脸吃饭了！
水痘后有什么感言呢？经过了那段痛苦头晕的日子，我感觉我仿佛脱胎换骨，换了全新的一个人似的，现在精力充沛。幸亏水痘这时候出，不然等到ACCA考试时才出，那就惨了！而且，那种痛苦我都抵得过了，我还有什么好怕的？当然，在我出水痘期间，总算能看清楚身边的人。其中，Buddy，aL，W.W.P.和William是最关心我的，他们时时跟进我的进度，谢谢！

OSK Investment Challenge
Yo, today is the last trading day of this competition, hence all the results will be compiled and announced later. Unfortunately, I failed to get into the top 20.
Here is my performance: My total game portfolio value is RM104,181.57; Cash value is RM83,981.57; Stock value (stock in hand) is RM20,200.00 whereas my overall ranking (Championship Rank) is 5440th.
Actually this game should not be called 'investment' as investment is meant for long term, instead it should be called 'speculation' as the duration of the competition is just roughly 4 weeks. We were given RM100,000.00 as our initial capital. Ergo, I'm satisfied with the profit that I earned in terms of value but dissatisfied in terms of earning rate (%).
As you could see here, my overall earning rate was about 4%. This is truly low since 10% return would be the minimum expectation for an investment. Nonetheless, I could earn RM4000 within one month with RM100,000. This is what I look for in the future. If I could do this, I would probably resign and enjoy my pension life earlier, lolz...
Actually, none of my portfolio suffered a loss. Then, why I just earned so little and my ranking was so low? This was due to the prudence concept. Initially, I diversified my portfolio in order to mitigate the risk. Furthermore, I just invested in small quantity, such as 10 lots to 20 lots for each stock. This was what contradicted with the winners' approach. They were risk takers. Moreover, I didn't fully utilise my fund. If I'm not mistaken, I just used half of it for my investment.
The first-day's winner, I forgot what his name was already, he earned RM20,000 to RM30,000 and subsequently he lost out. This might be due to his arrogant. He was bragging about his tactic and releasing false information to other participants. I don't know what is his ranking now. Hopefully this is not a massive blow to him.
So now, the top winner is SEON with a total game portfolio value of RM138,918.88. We have a great distance between us if you compared his and mine. But it's okay as I'm content with my results. I started to transform into a long term investor and who look for small value stocks since I know my friend, Jared.
I hope I can be like him one day or perhaps realise my dream.

Friendship
Nowadays, it's extremely difficult to find a true friendship. You'll get what I mean as u grow older. Experience and encounter will teach and tell you everything.
Yesterday I found my good friend during secondary school, Joey Lim. Unfortunately, he was rushing for his part-time job. He found me automatically today. The first thing he asked me yesterday before saying good bye to me was "You still remember me?". Definitely, I still remember you. You were my 'English dictionary' in my secondary studies. However, you mean more than a friend to me. I'm grateful to have you as my friend. All my friends are meant to enlighten my life and I'm glad to know them.
He is currently pursuing his studies in Japan. Due to financial problem, he has to work as part-timer to support his living over there. He encouraged me to go overseas as it would let me experience what a life is and as an experience-gaining journey. I hope so but financial factor deters me from achieving it. As the eldest son in my family, I have to undertake the responsibility to support my family financially and morally.
He feels it worthwhile even though he may be badly indebted for years in Japan. He is so fascinated with his current life and I'm glad with him that he can find what he wants to do without any major issue. He is expected to graduate by March 2013. I hope we can meet at that time because I had not been seeing him for 4 years.
It is a friendship that's full of trust. No suspicion between us. There is only faith embedded within ourselves. We can chat without any worries or hesitation. In short, this is what I wish, 'all out'. In my opinion, a friendship is fake or meaningless without plying your sincerity to your friends. It's very torturing when you have to be preventive to your friends.
Luckily majority of my friends are trustworthy. I love you, my friends. Let's continue building the friendship which we wish and adhere to our principles of life.

Twins 3650 签唱会
不知不觉，今天已经是星期六了。还记得上个星期六，我还兴致勃勃地去Times Square支持Twins呢！
其实上个星期六是Twins 3650大马站的签唱会之外，也是我的Princess的生日。不过，当时我的心里就只有Twins、阿Sa。就抽点时间说说我的Princess吧。她是一位我已好久没联络的朋友，我想，大概有整个学期了吧。好了，就这样，没什么特别。
我跟表哥大概十一点半就出门了，因为我要寄我的摩托车回槟城。他开车好像一支箭一样，我只有在后头追赶的份！不过快到那儿时塞车，我办完手续后还要等他十分钟。期间，那运输老板想骗我，他跟我收RM90。我马上做出很惊吓的表情，还问他涨价了吗？他回问我以前我付多少？我说RM70。他则说没这个价钱。这时，我才跟他说老实的价钱。唉，老板，想骗我？我倒骗你一把，哈哈。。。
过后，我们就泊车于Salak Selatan车站，然后才一起乘搭L.R.T.去Times Square。我们一到Times Square门口，大概才十二点半，已经有一群Twins的fans集合在Times Square门口，因为待会儿的签唱会就举办在Times Square门前。当时我们已经留意到fans中有3650字样的氢气球。很有创意，真是比我还疯狂的fans。
我们先去吃饭。我们选择在“凤凰”吃午餐，然后一起去恭和堂吃龟苓膏，因为表哥证实我已经发热气、长水痘了。之后，我们便到处走走。我们先逛Times Square，然后去Sungei Wang和BB Plaza，最后去Pavilion。我还是第一次去Pavilion逛，真的很豪华，很有气派。
快四点钟时，我们就飞跑去Times Square，因为我要霸个靓位拍照。由于我没买Twins的专辑，因此我们不能进入场内，只能在场外看。我较早前已经叫我的表哥在旁边的Doughnut店吃doughnut，因为那边离现场最近，还毛遂自荐请他吃。很可惜他不肯，现在连靓位都霸不到。
我们到达现场时，已经是人山人海，而且My FM特工队也来到现场问观众问题并送Twins fans见面会的入场券。我听到的问题是“给我3首Twins超过四个字的歌名“，我马上就有答案了，只是原来他们要我们把答案写在手机上。
风水位被人霸了，不过还有一个靓位，就是卖Twins专辑的摊位旁。不知大众是否害怕他们，不敢站那边。不要紧，等爷爷我带头。果然，越来越多人排在我们的后边。其实我想买Twins的专辑的。单单只是photo album已经RM80，不过那photo album有像800张的A4 Paper一样。Photo album加3650专辑则要价RM100。便宜嘛，可是我没有买，因为我不想把我的病传给Twins，尤其是阿Sa。
当阿Sa出场时，我很兴奋，因为我有种实现愿望的感觉。这是我第一次跟Twins那么的接近。很可惜我的手机pixels不够，拍得不清。因此，我下定决心，等我做工领工资后，要买一部可以装lens的camera以及一 部camcorder。我不想再拥有这种遗憾--明明就那么的靠近却拍不出好作品！
这张是zoom到最后的。
这张则是没有zoom的。
这是那卖专辑的摊。
以下的是当时状况的video,最后几个晃得特别厉害，因为我的手开始酸了、震了。

Chicken Pox
趁我今天稍微有精神，便来写写部落格吧！我终于出水痘了！不知是福还是祸？还好是现在出，不然在我考试时出，或者是在我读书时就惨了！
其实，我上个星期四跟O.Y.J.打完桌球后，就开始觉得不舒服了。当时只是稍微发烧，并没有水痘的症状。我表姐叫我吃药，但是我说我要靠我的抵抗力来打这场仗。不过，我最终还是吃Panadol才睡觉，因为我星期六还要去见阿Sa呢！我得以最佳状态去见她呀！
我一连吃了四颗Panadol，但还是不见好转。星期五，我的身体开始出现两个红点，我以为这并无大碍，怎知它星期六开始蔓延、发作！还好我星期五晚上很果断地订了巴士票，即使只剩下最后一排的两个座位。今天奶奶还称赞我厉害，因为在吉隆坡，我是无人照顾的，而且又怕我乱吃东西。
出水痘真的很辛苦，除了不能搔痒之外，还要戒口。唉，槟城可是小食天堂呀，这简直就是一种折磨！而且，还要戒足七七四十九天，晕。除此之外，还不能吹风、冲凉。总之，就是惨啦！
这么多天以来，Buddy是第一个问候我的人，很感动。我希望我没有传给其他人吧。现在在我家中，就只剩我的小妹还没有出过水痘，不知她会否遭殃呢？
昨天是我病得最重的一天。除了水痘外，我还腹内热、畏寒！我想去看医生，但是我妈咪不带我去，她说她的公司医药卡的钱已经用完了！我当时才知道原来我家庭的经济是那么的难堪！我好想说我自己付账，但是我连说话的力气都没有。整个人就像是死尸一样躺在床上。
今天精神好点，可是还是有点头晕，发烧好了。很多事情都没有心情做，就连上网都懒。就让我趁此机会好好休息、充电吧！等我完全痊愈后再来冲刺！

我一连吃了四颗Panadol，但还是不见好转。星期五，我的身体开始出现两个红点，我以为这并无大碍，怎知它星期六开始蔓延、发作！还好我星期五晚上很果断地订了巴士票，即使只剩下最后一排的两个座位。今天奶奶还称赞我厉害，因为在吉隆坡，我是无人照顾的，而且又怕我乱吃东西。
出水痘真的很辛苦，除了不能搔痒之外，还要戒口。唉，槟城可是小食天堂呀，这简直就是一种折磨！而且，还要戒足七七四十九天，晕。除此之外，还不能吹风、冲凉。总之，就是惨啦！
这么多天以来，Buddy是第一个问候我的人，很感动。我希望我没有传给其他人吧。现在在我家中，就只剩我的小妹还没有出过水痘，不知她会否遭殃呢？
昨天是我病得最重的一天。除了水痘外，我还腹内热、畏寒！我想去看医生，但是我妈咪不带我去，她说她的公司医药卡的钱已经用完了！我当时才知道原来我家庭的经济是那么的难堪！我好想说我自己付账，但是我连说话的力气都没有。整个人就像是死尸一样躺在床上。
今天精神好点，可是还是有点头晕，发烧好了。很多事情都没有心情做，就连上网都懒。就让我趁此机会好好休息、充电吧！等我完全痊愈后再来冲刺！

Self-doubt
Self-doubt have been distracting me for a long time. It is the root cause for my failure.
Okay, before I start, as promised to Candy, I want to disclose the optional papers which I have chosen here. I always tell my friends that I will take the so-called 'killer papers'. However, none of them guess it correctly. I hereby announce that I will take P4 Advanced Financial Management and P6 Advanced Taxation next semester. Please don't ask me about the reasons since I'm lazy to answer you.
Hello all, I'm in the library when writing this post. This is also the first time I blog here because I'm using the college internet service to view and manage my portfolio. What do I mean? For your information, I'm participating in the OSK Investment Game which is similar to the one which I took part during my Diploma study. What was my result? Erm, so far so good. I'm a conservative and prudent people, therefore the gains were not so much.
As you may know, my favourite stock was the top gainer yesterday and its share price rises in similar amount today. Nonetheless, I didn't buy it as I had some doubts over its movement. It's good to see that it is the top gainer now. As stated above, as a prudent people, I bought the stock in small quantity with the aim to test the market. According to my analysis and observation, now is not the appropriate time to invest in stocks especially for this game which ends in 3-week time. This trading period is relatively short as shares are meant to be held for long term purpose. Nevertheless, trading for short term is what I always do, so there is no problem to me.
I received an e-mail just now which talked about self-doubt. It construed self-doubt as the biggest enemy in our life. In order to annihilate it, we must firstly stop and think about the solution, secondly be self-understanding and lastly find some encouragement.
Self-doubt often arises whenever one faces some difficulties and finally fails to solve them. As time passes, self-doubt arises unconsciously and it will eventually damage your confidence and problem-solving skills. I don't know whether you experienced it before. You're absolutely lucky if you don't have one but think on the other way, it's an experience gaining process if you have one. This experience will enhance your learning curve which will then facilitate your ability and capability in times of difficulty.
As a conclusion, clear your doubts and strive for success.

TARc Mid-Autumn Festival 2011
My semester's results came out today. They were out of my expectation again, they were the worst results I had ever got! I got C+ for P1 Governance, Risk and Ethics, B for P2 Corporate Reporting and B+ for P3 Business Analysis. I scored the highest for the subject which I had the most confidence in whereas the lowest for the subject which was the most relaxing paper. Alright, C+ was my grade floor and I had experienced it for the first time, it's time for me to adjust my performance and back to my previous position.
During the P3 revision class, Mr Yeoh Cheng Hock was talking about examination technique. I have changed my examination technique after my secondary school, indeed it was more obvious during my Diploma study. Last time, I had a very strong and powerful memory power which I used to be proud of. However, I'm too lazy to memorise things and in fact, I have lost it!
After the P3 revision class, it was raining, therefore I went to Club House for TARc Mid-Autumn Festival 2011 with my friends, such as E.S.H., O.Y.J., Moon, O.G.X. and so on. If there was no raining, I wouldn't have gone there.
The decoration was quite good and there were plenty of female students wearing the ancient Chinese attires distributing tang longs to children below 12 years old. We chatted at the back of the hall. Moon, who was O.Y.J.'s girlfriend was having conflict with her classmates. This was not the first case I had heard and I had this conflict before. I shared my experience with her and hopefully it helped her.
Lo and behold, Ms Say asked us to go out of the club house in order to get our free food vouchers. The rain stopped that time. I was very sorry that I jumped queue and requested the vouchers from Dr Amy Yeo Chu May. Initially I called her 'miss' but she told me she wouldn't respond to me as long as I didn't call her properly. She was very concerned about her recognition. In my opinion, name is just a term or word for people to recognise ourselves but not for any acknowledgement. Since she liked it so much, I called her 'Dr Amy'. I teased her, I said I needed three because two for me (this is the rule) and one for this (I was pointing at my stomach indicating that I was pregnant). She just laughed.
We couldn't find a seat therefore I started to share table with a family. Initially there were just three kids and one of the kids, a little girl staring at me. I asked her how many seats did she reserve, she said five, then I found another 3 chairs for O.Y.J., Moon and me.
When their mom came, I could notice her but I didn't know her. From her conversation with O.Y.J., I knew that her husband was one of the lecturer of TARc. I had seen her husband before. She had lots of vouchers and shared some of the food with us. Thanks a lot.
She had three children, two boys and one girl. The boys were 13 years old and nine years old respectively while the little girl was just six years old. As usual, I tried to tease the children but it was effective on the girl only. I showed her some magics after my dinner and she was so exciting about them.
I taught her a rope magic and she learnt it quite fast. The girls next to our table even looked at her performance while she was practising. I showed two cards flourishes which I had just invented last week. Nevertheless, she could notice my secret move. Obviously, she had a pair of sharp eyes.
Around 8p.m., Mr Tan Vooi Giap, who was my P1 lecturer noticed me and waved his hand to me. We started to have a long yet enjoyable conversation. I pretended to be an ordinary student by asking him for reasons why I got such a low grade for P1. Was it related to my torn answer paper? He agreed with it. He also shared his past experience and history with us upon my request. I appreciated those a lot and I felt grateful. He even introduced us great Penang food in Kuala Lumpur such as those in Paramount, SS2 and so on.
He told us that he used to be one of the top paid accountants in Kuala Lumpur. He was better because he was top paid with 5 months of experience while the other one was having a five years of working experience in U.K..
He told us about the senior's story and feedback and the current top students in 2 AFA. Surprisingly, there were at least four out of ten of them from Penang Branch. I asked him the reasons why Penang's students seemed to be performing well as compared with Kuala Lumpur's students given that we were having the same lecture notes. He answered me that that was because Penang was lack of entertainment, that was why students tended to be more focused.
I don't agree with him as he seemed to have under-valued Penang. Penang also has a lot of nice places and entertainments. Just like what in my Diploma study, we used to be celebrating events or hanging out. Maybe he had not been Penang for quite some time.
Another reason was that some of the students were tired of the study after studying for so long, which was exactly what I'm experiencing now. I always feel that I'm not an ordinary person since I was still a child. Hence, I did do something which was not the routine work in daily life. Honestly speaking, I have sicked of the study life. Achieving a great result is no longer a motivation to me. I had that before for many times. I need something new to try. Thereupon, I'm trying new things now. Nonetheless, I do hope to end my study life high!
I'm very sorry that I have disappointed Mr Tan and Mr Chin whom I always 'disturb' him. I promise that I will make you all proud of me one day.
We left at around 9p.m. when Mr Tan was answering his call. We were regret not to say goodbye to him as he didn't notice us. Due to the rain, I was destined to meet Mr Tan, thus I really thanked you a lot, God of Rain.

Overbudget
Yup, I had over-budgeted this week. Firstly, I spent RM95 for reformatting my laptop which caused my system to corrupt and installing an anti-virus on Monday. I was so stupid that I didn't go to ASUS service centre which was located in front of the Plaza Imbi. If I went there for service, I might not need to spend such a high price.
Yesterday, I went to night market which was called 'pasar malam' locally at 康乐. This was the longest pasar malam in Kuala Lumpur. Certainly, there were lots of pretty girls but most of them were 中女、剩女. I bought a pair of shoes there which cost me another RM55 because the shoes that I'm currently wearing have broken. I sweated all the way as there was too crowded! It made me feeling that I was just having a sauna.
Today, I had just replaced my motorcycle's engine oil which cost me further RM17. Oh my God, I really had overspent this week but all these cost are inevitable. Hopefully there are no additional costs waiting for me so soon.
Talk to you, guys soon. See you.
