I taught 2 of my friends how to play Chinese Chess. Watching them play is very funny and hilarious. It's a great source of laughter and stress-relief. One of them is non-Chinese, but he knows abit of International Chess. Another friend is a Chinese, who knows nothing about chess.
So, both have their respective advantages and disadvantages. The non-Chinese has problems figuring out which piece is the rook, the horse, the elephant, etc. The Chinese has problems playing chess properly.. making moves that doesn't make sense.
Below is an extract of their conversation while playing chess:
A: I don't know what to move..
B: Move your 马 la.
A: What's a 马?
Me: Hey, why are you speaking to him in Chinese? He doesn't understand chinese.
In the end, the non-Chinese manages to win the Chinese 4 times in a row lol.

Nose bleed has been my nemesis since young... it's been rather frequent for me.. sian.. wasting tissue paper and scaring people all... I think it's just heaty... need to drink more water. BUT there is an article surfacing online that drinking too much water causes blindness.. so now I am caught in a dilemma.. a severe one, yet true.

Euro2012 is so interesting.. but I can't watch due to the late hours of showtime.. and I didnt subscribe to it, its rather expensive for a poor kid like me. Anyways, I'm rooting in for England and Spain. I will be caught in a dilemma if both meet in a match haha.

Saturday:
My ex-classmates wanted me to go play lan with them. However, I had already spent the last 2 Saturdays out with my friends.. As I am a filial son, I shall let my friends down for once and accompany my parents out to NEX.
On the way there, I saw the yellow box on the road... the one Nich Khaw, Darren and I watched the workers paint last saturday...
While my dad drove into the carpark, there was a LED displayboard, saying how many lots available for each floor.
It shows:
Lots available L2: FULL.
Since there are FULL lots available in level 2, I don't see why they dont allow cars to enter.. what's worse is that they claim that the carpark is full when they state that FULL lots are available (which means every single lot is empty.)
So, we went into NEX, went to eat at the food court. Passed by the Starhub shop and watched the match of Sweden vs England for up to 30 mins? Saw the first goal by Andy Carroll. Alot of people are also hanging around that area to watch that match haha, nice way to keep customers at the shop. (but this is just free-loading on the goods of the Euro match)
Oh, I also meet Darren and Lester there. What a coincidence. I think Darren told me something like Nich Khaw just left or something... I didn't really catch what he was saying.
We then went home after going to NTUC.

Went out to Rivervale Mall for dinner at Long John Silvers!! Finally! After 1 million years of fast from LJS. I pursuaded my parents to eat it with me haha.
I went to the POSB machine, wanting to update my bankbook. I placed my bankbook in it. It shows "transaction in progress" for a very very long time.... much longer than usual... something must be wrong, I told myself. Then I saw the word... "朝上＂ .... Damn, I put the bankbook upside down... I hope the machine doesn't update my bankbookby printing the words on the cover page instead...
So, I corrected my error, and it works! My pay is in.
Went to buy slippers afterwards as alot of my slippers are in a rather bad state already.

Runway cycling tomorrow. Been long since I cycled haha... hope I don't fall and get palm abrasions like last time :X It was embarrassing... worse still, it hurts alot and it looks hideous and they last for quite some time... Hope everything goes well tomorrow.
