THE END OF STOCK TRADING (FINALLY) / FLQT'S bday celebration for Fathima's 23rd!!

GOD IT'S FINALLY OVER.
LIKE FINALLY.
We ended with 6.5k loss. Which we have already tried our best to reduce from our $8.8k loss last night.
My God me and Sheila was so busy the whole morning. At 9am, we started calling each other as we stared at the stocks, and kept on calculating how much loss we'd make if we sold at this price now, etc etc.
We had planned to liquidate our stocks as early as possible, to avoid further losses.
So we slowly sold off our stocks one by one.
There was two very frustrating stocks I can remember.
One was UOB. We bought UOB at $18.21. Sold UOB at $17.71.
Guess where it rose up till at one point in time.
17.88!!!!!!!!!@#!@#!@#!@
WE WERE TOO DESPERATE.

Then Noble. Fuck Noble (sorry I'm going to be more vulgar over here, bear with me)
Okay Sheila had suggested a couple of times that we sell Noble off now at the price we bought ($0.280), and buy it back at a lower price to average and lower our total cost. So we sold it off at $0.280, and waited for the price to drop to the 27 cents range, as we observed that it was always hanging around that range all morning.
So we waited.

And waited.

That stock isn't very volatile, so it didn't move all morning, all the way until we came to school and sat together during investment class.

Then...it slowly started to rise to 0.285.

And rose to 0.290.

AND rose to 0.295

AND ROSE to 0.300

AND ROSE TO 0.305

AND ROSE TO 0.310!!!!!

(I'M SORRY)
We literally rage LOL *flip table* there's so many more in our conversation but lazy SS all haha (too much swearing too c:)
We didn't buy all these time, because we thought that it was too high, and it will drop. But fucking no!!
My god me and Sheila both wanted to cry and just die seeing the stock prices. Why?! It really hates us...
At this rate, even if we bought at 0.290, we'd have made profit because it was hanging around 3.00 to 3.05!!! T_T
Sigh. Our teacher was showing us his portfolio in class, and his loss was around $16k, but forget it la teacher, you don't have any grades at stake! T_T

Hahaha but he was joking with us just now. Like for example if you buy 100 shares DBS, you become a shareholder of that company and own a tiny bit of it now. So next time you walk into any of its branches, you can grasp the door handle, and say "Haha, this is mine. Everything else in this branch may not belong to me, but this door handle, it is mine." Like LOL XDD
Or otherwise maybe the floor of that branch becomes yours. So you walk in, and if you feel that it's dirty, you can complain to the service counter staff that they never clean properly. And if they show attitude to you, you can shoot back (his face expression damn funny when he say this) to them "Excuse me, I own like 100 shares (LOL) of the bank, so you better watch out, at each year AGM, I as a shareholder can raise the issue that customer service staff Tan Ah Leng of XXX branch very rude to me, sack them" HAHAHAHAHA
Ya he usually very good mood every Friday, because it's the end of the week haha! Compared to his black face and dark mood every Monday when he comes for my friend's class.
And he was also talking about how love dies away after long lasting marriages. He's like, on valentine's day each year, do you see your mom cooking something special for your dad, or your dad buying pretty flowers for your mom? No right?
The romance and love has died away.
Why do they still remain with each other?
(His face turned into a funny expression again) "MONEY" XDDDD

Of course he's just joking la.

Ahh but he told us why he missed out our lesson last Friday.
It's not because of "half-day" or whatever.
IT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE HE FORGOTTEN >:CC
'Scuse me, you still have afternoon lesson to teach okay!! Don't forget about DAC 08 and run off to Malaysia to shop!! :'C
The attendance he'll give to us (of course), but omg...he totally missed out last week's tutorial! He emailed us the answers, but still... sigh.

Investment class ended, and Sheila and I have officially liquidated all our stocks, with Singtel being our last official stock to sell away.
No regrets. No regrets.
It's over. And it's only a game. No need to get too emotionally riled up in this.
No matter how much we loss, we did learn several lessons from this.

One is to never buy bank stocks during bad recession LOL (Just look at DBS. Crashed from 15.41 to 13.60++)
Two is to always have patience. But we didn't because our grades are at stake, and we have time limit of 3 weeks. (We hurriedly sold and bought)
Three is that in short term trading, always go for very cheap stocks, that raises at half a cent each time, and you can earn hundreds of profit with each raise. That was the trick. That was the key to earning profits in short term. BUT STUPID NOBLE URGHHH
Fourth is never be stupid and buy high sell low. Seriously LOL
Fifth...is how you approach stock trading. Sometimes, you seriously need to consider having a "NO GUTS NO GLORY" attitude.

I think most people will be cautious, since they're trading with real money. I definitely will be cautious too (but I don't ever think I'll be trading irl LOL). But I realize that, if you don't have guts, you don't invest a lot, you also won't gain a lot. I was the cautious one. But Sheila shared the same motto with our investment teacher. Like he really whacked his whole $200k in (he said that he was actually trying to help us by buying the stocks to boost their share prices up). For our Noble stocks, Sheila wants it to gain for us, so she whacked at least $30k in bought 110,000 shares at one point. And to be honest, we WOULD have gained a lot, especially from a cheap stock like this, but the only problem was we sold it too early. We really didn't think it'd have rose above 0.290, least 0.300 wtf?!
No don't ask me about studying the financial charts before buying. I tell you, sometimes they don't give us any buy or sell signals at all. The MACD and EVA lines doesn't cross. The RSI isn't hitting overbought or oversold value. The only information you can get then, is the highest and lowest price traded within a specified range. And after that, it's really up to you to decide whether you want to buy or sell. News about the company doesn't help either. I mean to me, it really doesn't help HAHAHAHA (but we just put the news as part of our reason in our log journal for marks)

Aiya but whatever. It's over, and I'm damn happy
I'M FINALLY FREE OMGGGGGGGGG
NO MORE WAKING UP EARLY EVERYDAY TO STARE AT STOCKS
NO MORE EATING LUNCH WHILE STARING AT STOCKS
NO MORE STAYING BACK AFTER SCHOOL TO STARE AT STOCKS
NO MORE STARING AT BLUE AND WHITE SCREEN
All that's left is our trading journal, which we must submit next Thursday.

Our ITFD project is also done. Submitting the hardcopies next Monday.
CPE CA1 roleplay will be next Monday too.
So everything will end next Monday. (and investment on Thursday)
Then we'll be left to concentrate on our final papers, before we graduate.
Ahh graduation...

Anyway after class, Sheila and I bid each other goodbye, and I went to find Shu Ying and Jerusha at hilltop haven.
They still haven't liquidated their stocks (in fact, think me and Sheila was the fastest XD).
Ahh they only had a final realized loss of $300+...they became the top 10 in the game ranking top 50 list ><
Wahh compared to my $6.5k loss. We confirm out of the list le XD
Chatted with them, while I rested. Then about 4pm, they liquidated their stocks too, and Jerusha went off first for her facial treatment at JP before going to shop at ZARA (apparently there was some sale, and there's a top selling for only $19.90?! From ZARA?! OAO)
Shu Ying and I continued doing our own work, before Bei Er came to join us, having liquidated her stocks too. She had $6.2k loss? Idk, but I suffered more loss than her T_T
We chatted and chatted, while waiting for our last 2 friends (including pre-birthday girl) to join us, as they're still settling some stuff with their ITFD group. We waited until 6pm!! My stomach was growling T_T
When they're finally done, they passed their printed papers to Shu Ying who'll help them submit on Monday (XD), and then off we went to Clementi Mall!!

Ate at Swensens~

 

Mozerella cheese sticks, and mushroom and salmon cream pasta.
The pasta this time was...honestly horrible.
The cream was so watery and diluted. So the taste was really not...nice at all.
Yi Ning ordered their pasta too, and also thought it wasn't good this time. Both of us keep spamming cheese powder on our pasta to add flavour @_@
But the last time I ordered their teriyaki chicken pasta, it was quite alright!
Maybe that's because that has less cream?
This pasta was drowned in watery cream lol.
There goes my $16.20 :c

Chatted and laughed a lot during dinner. Can feel that all 5 of us really feel more stress-free after our stock trading has ended.
After dinner, we went down to buy Fathima's birthday present. $100 bag from Charles and Keith (again), for work use. It's quite a nice bag, she should wear to school too!

The pictures she whatsapped us last night.

Ya both of them (Yi Ning and Fathima) got C&K bags for their birthday presents. Maybe I should keep up the trend and choose a C&K bag for my birthday present too XDDD But last year I already got C&K sandals! :c

I'm just kidding lol.

Actually in my mind, I already have an idea in mind what I want for my birthday this year (which I told them too)

And it's this Axent wear cat-ear headphones!!

But UPDATE: I just checked and realized that they only ship to US. No other country yet :'((((

Shit, I have to change my present already hahaha!! Maybe I'll just get a dress from threadtheory or closetlover hahahaha c: their dresses are so pretty, but always so expensive :c

Anyway.

After getting her present, we gave our birthday cards to Fathima (just dumped it in her bag XD), and went off to the basement to Watsons for Shu Ying to buy some plasters (she got swell on her arm from knocking it on the Koufu door), and for me and Yi Ning to buy some bread from Four Leaves. Heard the bread is quite good...maybe I'll post a picture later on or tomorrow?

Then we went home, as it's getting quite late at night.

After going home, Shu Ying texted me about my pens (I told her I had wanted to go Popular to look for pens, but we all ended up forgetting about it XD). I told her it's okay, I can go look for it another time, but she said I can also buy from her, for a cheaper price of $1.00 compared to $1.80 since she bought it from Malaysia.

And of course, I agreed! :DDD Save 80 cents :DD

Haha our conversation quite cute XD

(DDP = Delivery duty paid, where exporter pays all freight charges, and technical delivery is at the importer's place itself. Exactly the incoterms used when you do your normal online shopping, and order and pay something online.)

So yeah, just joking with each other XD

Okay that's all,

I managed to re-record "Moon without the Stars" piano cover.

But still have mistakes

URGH

Shall end this post off with a selfie I took this morning with my seal :D

(end Jan 2016 me)

Please ignore my two obvious pimples cccc:

Do I look like I just woke up LOL (because I did XD)
I usually only get double eyelids for both eyes when I just wake up (one of my eyes will slowly turn monolid for the rest of the day), so I usually take my selfies right after I wake up!
But yeah, I still think I look pretty decent here though, so it's my LINE and whatsapp profile pictures now! ccc: Debating on using this as my Facebook profile pic too, or keeping my egg picture.

(Mid June 2015 me)

Haha any difference? I look the same? Did I grow younger? ccc:

Trying / Finally Subway dinner with Jie Ling after so long!!!

Just like the Thursday two weeks ago, the day ended more badly.
Because I was truly tired. And isn't in the brightest mood I have.
The whole day, I simply had no energy.
In MACC class, I was yawning throughout. Although I tried to stay focus and pay attention to her class.
I was really trying. Every day.
Macc ended an hour earlier. Went to eat lunch and stared stocks again. And I slept during lunch.
Then lecture.
Then stayed back again after school.
And I slept.
Sheila saw how tired I was, and told me I could go home if I want to, because she said she could handle it herself. But I chose not to, since I'm already there. Might as well just stay and do my own work. Any time something happens, we can just decide together immediately.
And we ended the day without doing anything.
And then Shu Ying called me asking me to go find her as her class ended.
And I went and find her with my really dead tired self. And she kept asking me questions about our project and test paper. And I couldn't reply her because...I really couldn't think.
I felt so stupid inside. And I apologized to her but she said it's okay, she could see how tired I was.

Why am I so tired?

1. Always waking up early at 8am+ to get ready for the market opening, plus not getting at least 8 hours of sleep.

2. Stressing over stocks all day.

3. The constant worry and anxiety about my graduation at stake.

4. Because of number 3, I've been spending all my mental energy focusing and copying down the notes in lectures and tutorials.

5.Emotionally drained.

See, I don't even have the energy to write in detail what happened today, like I usually do with all my other posts.
But today is normal.
Except that last part I guess. Going back home. Was really stressful, as Shu Ying bombarded me with questions and I couldn't answer.

I came back home and cried from all the emotional stress I had.
And I'm supposed to meet Jie Ling (primary school friend) for dinner later at Subway yew tee point, since I don't want to travel as I have school tomorrow. (At first we agreed to eat at Mos Burger, but she had to work OT since she came to work late ytd, and it's already late at 7.15pm later so just eat at Yew Tee)
Jie Ling, after so long, still takes time out to meet me, and wants to see me as much as I want to see her.
That just made me teared even more.
And she said I made her teared back XDDD because despite how tired I am from school, I still took time off to meet her too.

Hopefully I don't cry infront of her later, when I'm in such an emotional wreck now. Hahahaha

(Update 10pm): I'm back home now!! Showered too.
Yay, I met Jie Ling for dinner!! :D

 

She's my primary school friend, and one of my longest - known friends XD Roughly known each other for 11 years now.
And one of my nicest, sweetest friends I've known. Who is very very caring, and I try to be the same to her XD
Ahhh I did my best to smile and be cheerful (externally, because I'm genuinely happy to see her), but unfortunately I was too tired inside, the fatigue is obvious on my face HAHAHA 我的黑眼圈 :ccc
I just didn't want to appear like shit in front of her.
Basically caught up with each other's lives and talk about our worries with each other. More like, I'm the one telling her my school problems XD She didn't really have as much problems as me now because she finished her A levels (she went JC) and is now working part time while waiting for her A level results.
She told me that it's going to be okay. I'm going to be fine, and it won't be so bad. And she believes in me. And I told her the same for her A level results. Something like that.
We met at 7.30pm, and left an hour later. Quite a short meet-up, but already thankful and glad just to see her. We hugged before we parted too, and it gave me morale support and lifted my spirits up. After that, I felt like I have energy to face another day tomorrow again.

Ahh tomorrow is going to end late. Because after school (investment class ends at 3pm, provided that Mr Kenneth Tai don't pua stunt us and leave my class stranded outside again like last week >:C), I will go meet Shu Ying and rest of friends at hilltop library, as we plan to eat at Swensens at Clementi for dinner to celebrate Fathima's birthday.

Tired tired. Going to sleep. Zzzzzz

AFA 1 CA2 MARKS / TIREDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

When is this endingggggggggggggggg
Just now when I got home around 5pm, I literally took off my shirt and threw it on the bed cuz it's warm (don't worry I'm wearing a dress underneath LOL. My outfit today is a simple sleeveless black dress with a black and white striped t-shirt over it, so it appears like I'm wearing black and white striped t-shirt with black skirt. I do have a black skirt, but it's sooo long and big and honestly doesn't look good with anything else other than my blue button shirt which I can tie a ribbon below, so I wore my dress underneath to "fake" a black skirt XD Thanks I know it's creative ccc:), put my head on the table and just napped for at least a good half an hour or so. No energy to do anything else!! T_T

My day started at 8.30am, but I only slept at 11.30pm last night. There goes my 1 hour of sleep... supposed to sleep at 10.45pm urgh. Was too hungry and snacked while reading Pandora Hearts manga, so can't sleep at 10.45 oops.
Today, I was as determined as usual. I will give my 100% focus in class. I will try my best not to zone out at all.
With this mindset, I arrived at class, and AFA tutorial proceeded normally. Our teacher let us to try a past year question first, and left us. Right at 9am, I checked the stock market, and realized that our stock Noble is gaining!! I rushed to tell Sheila who was sitting at a row behind (I almost tripped and the class rep told me to relax XDD), and we hurriedly sold it off before the price dropped back down (which it did). WE GAINED A PROFIT OF $281.10!! <333 THANK YOU SHU YING. Ah yes, after we sold, I called Shu Ying to tell her the price, and she picked up although she's in class like me and was like "Yes yes I know" very softly hahaha!! She sold off with us too.
After our stock trading, the teacher came back and went through the past year question together with us. (which was really difficult. Foreign exchange question. Tedious..you must really understand what's going on. I definitely need to revise and practice this again...)

I wrote a lot of notes because I was really trying my best to follow the teacher and make sense of the working. Basically trying to understand what's going on.

After that, we went through the tutorial, which was quite manageable this week and not too hard to follow.

THEN SHE SUDDENLY ANNOUNCED THAT SHE'LL BE GIVING BACK OUR CA2 TEST PAPERS.

Oh. my. God.
Immediately, the blood drained from my face. I was totally not prepared at all. Shu Ying told me that they'll give back the papers only next week!! But our teacher said that she wants to prepare us next week for our final test, so she'll go through the paper with us now.
Immediately, I want to pee, I want to escape, I just don't want to see how badly I did for my paper, because I knew I literally fucked up from my consolidation worksheet. Yes I used the vulgar word. Because it's that bad.
But I know I have to face it.
Eventually, my name was called out (I was one of the last), and I took my paper without daring to see the marks, because I've always been a coward like that.
I started flipping from the back, and saw my consolidation worksheet:

Yup I got 7 marks.
Haha guess what.
Our consolidation worksheet is worth 18 marks ccccccccccccccccc:
I failed my consol worksheet. It killed me. And I know it very well. Back then when I was struggling to do it in the examination room. I knew I was literally killed by the paper. I can feel it.
Then I moved on forward to my consolidation journal entries (CJE):

Do you see all those plus marks.

Can you see my teacher desperately trying to save me LOL XDD *mixed laughter+crying*

Wait, was it my teacher or was it Ho Boon Yeow (our formal CACC teacher last year)

My teacher said SHE remarked our papers at least twice to reduce the number of failures, but Sheila told me she heard Zhi Xin say that she met Ho Boon Yeow on Monday and he told her HE finished marking the papers already. O.O

NEVER MIND THAT.

20 marks total from CJEs. They were actually okay, except that equipment depreciation part. I totally had no idea how to calculate, and what to write. *deep sigh* And this was the real trick. Like you have to use the figure in the balance sheet. And I KNEW I had to take the figure from the balance sheet, but I had no idea how to use it. My God I really need to buck up. And also my ending CJE, I forgot what's the name of the balancing figure because I panicked!!! WHYYYYYYYYYY

My teacher was like "What happened?! Your last CJE!! Your consol worksheet!!" when I went up to sign my marks urgh (this is the second time already. The first time she said the same thing to me. And I gave her a really pitiful look LOL. Shu Ying told me I should have told her back not to pua stunt (give us very hard paper) us!! It's always our batch that they pua stunt us URGH)

AND MY PART C. SHE JUST GAVE ME 0. WHY TEACHER. WHY.
I think the moment you say the statement is valid, your 4 marks is gone. WHY TEACHER. I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAVE US. I EVEN WROTE AS MUCH POINTS AS I CAN TO GAIN MARKS!! T_T
Yes, the sentence would be valid HAD IT NOT BEEN A LOAN, BUT A SALE INSTEAD. OR ANY TRANSACTION THAT GIVES YOU PROFIT. A LOAN IS NOT A TRANSACTION. A LOAN IS SIMPLY A LOAN, WHICH YOU DO NOT SELL AND GAIN PROFIT.
*FLIP TABLE*

I was pretty sure I was the lowest, since my classmates were all smart people. But when I went up to sign on the register, I saw that there was so far one failure (because I'm quite near the top in the class list, and the majority of the class has not signed yet)
And that failure, was the guy who always does not come for tutorial class, yet scored A for our previous test. But this time, a miracle didn't happened and he scored only 21. That means the paper was seriously difficult.
His name is David Lim.
And he was one of my MACC groupmates (was, because our project is finished).

Towards the end of AFA tutorial, I was so. So. Drained.
Went out for a quick toilet break to get some fresh air, and met Shu Ying and classmates in the toilet, who just finished ITFD class XD chatted with them about the AFA paper and how dead I was. I really got trauma you know!! Like last night, I had a nightmare where I failed my AFA paper. Luckily I passed. Because my teacher tried to save me. Sigh
When class finally ended, I went to eat lunch with Sheila and the rest as usual, as we continued staring at our stocks.

Honestly had no idea what to eat, and I don't have appetite too. Also got a little sick of the muslim stall after eating it continuously for two days already.
Switched back to Japanese stall and got fried black pepper chicken udon, with yakitori chicken stick. And random iced milk tea.

Looks nice right~ It's really nice too. $3.50 + 1.00 + $1.00 = $5.50 lunch ahhhh

Lunch ended with us not doing any transaction at all. Sheila was very, very stressed again.
Met Shu Ying and co. on the way out, and we headed to lecture together.
These two lectures, Sheila sat with me so we could discuss.
More like, she could just tell me if there's anything, while I tried really hard to follow the lecture XD

I'm so sorry Sheila, but I decided that I must really change my attitude in school to save myself (MY GRADUATION IS AT STAKE), so I'm sorry for leaving you to stress over the stock markets yourself @_@ normally, I'd be more lazy, and my past self will zone out and look at the stocks with you but this time really cannot. This time I really have to save myself.

To be honest I was so drained from AFA tut and my shitty paper, I didn't think I had any energy left to concentrate in our 3 hours of lecture. But Shu Ying told me I can't be like this, because at least I passed. I didn't fail.

So that helped pulled me up and I focused in lecture. And wrote whatever notes I can to help me understand.
After investment lecture is ITFD lecture. 2 hours.
Tired tired tired.
During ITFD lecture's break (he always gives us break in the middle to let us refresh ourselves), my ITFD group went to ask him all the questions we intended to ask him yesterday about our project. Eg can we put two beneficiaries, must we make up our own addresses and LC buyer sellers' purchase numbers, dates, additional instructions etc... I saw his face three times LOL
First time is with my ITFD group
Second time with Shu Ying and Kelly (her groupmate)
Third time with them again because they went back for second round of questioning XDDD
Ah, we have a lot of questions. But I cannot remember them anymore XDDD Jing Yi and Zhi Xin (my ITFD groupmates) are the ones who note down the answers.
All our questioning (many other groups came down to ask him) took up nearly half an hour wow.
But it's okay because he only left a little bit before he finished the whole lecture today.

After lecture, I went back home with Shu Ying and Yi Ning, since Sheila remembered she has tuition to teach and can't stay back today.
On the way back home on the train, Shu Ying suddenly felt like eating cold dessert, as the weather is warm. Even though she keeps saying she is very tired and sleepy (same here T_T) XD
She wants to go eat bingsu at Jcube (the bingsu at Jcube is nice), and again I was reluctant at first (saying Jcube we must cross road from the station :c), since I just want to go home and rest. But she kept giving me her "pitiful look", as quoted by her XD, tugging my arm and saying Jcube Jcube, so eventually I gave in hahaha. Besides, the weather is really warm, and no harm eating good food with your friend when your mood is down right?
So we went to One Ice Cafe at Jcube, and ordered one Pat Bingsu to share (the original, milk bingsu with corn flakes, mochi cubes, azuki red bean and vanilla ice cream):

 

 

Lol I put in all 4 shots because I couldn't decide which to delete XDD

 And here's their menu:

It's $6.80, so $3.40 each. Price is quite okay, and the shaved ice is good. Quite like the bingsu. Very good for warm weather in Singapore x.x
And both of our moods are lifted a bit (she was also stressed and emotionally drained from stock trading). So was kinda thankful she suggested going to eat bingsu just now. It was probably to lift both of our spirits up too.
She said another method she used is bus rounding, where you sit alone in a window seat in the bus and go one round. It helps, at least for her. Like she took bus 333 and went round Jurong East before. I then told her I went LRT rounding before as a kid, because you can sit at the front seat and stare out of the big window XDDD hahahaa
Continued chatting about karaoke (how she went with her friends to Teo Heng and sang 4-5 hours with cheap price and you can bring food in, while I sometimes go Cash Studio with my sister to sing our Japanese songs, but thanks to the machine it's freaking pricey. But there's unlimited hours after the first 3 hours as long as someone did not book your room, so we were there for 7 hours before).
And she kept staring at her stocks the whole time XD life of investment students!
Sheila had whastapped me, telling me she re-bought Noble for our last buy transaction. You know how many she bought?!

110,000 SHARES.

I LITERALLY LAUGHED HAHAHAHAHA

You know why so many?!
Because each share price is $0.280 (we bought at that price). And in that range, share prices can only increase at 0.005 cents each time. So if it increase half a cent, we would have already gained (110,000 x 0.005 =  $550 profit!!!)
WHAT IF IT'S 1 CENT.
110,000 X 0.01 = $1,100!!! PROFIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Eyes = KACHING $w$)
When I told Shu Ying, her eyes went KACHING $w$ too, and she started calling Jerusha to ask if she wanna buy back Noble stocks like us XDDD *laughing* damn funny
But it honestly depends on our luck. The financial chart does not show us any buy or sell, or overbought or oversold signal, which means the line can either go up or down.
BUT WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOSE
WE HAVE ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT
NO GUTS NO GLORY
GO BIG OR GO HOME
Sheila's investment style LOL

She also gave me these tea packets:

By the brand TWG (who by the way is also known for their macaroons, who is said to be good).
Jerusha (my ex intern colleague) bought her a big bag of these tea packets XDD premium packaging, normal-tasting tea according to her haha!

After our bingsu, we went to the toilet as I needed to pee.
Then, we shopped a little at J Avenue, as Shu Ying wants to buy some new tops. For CNY?
She did buy two tops (offered at $15 each), and went to the toilet to try. And luckily she did, because she found she could not wear the rose top, and exchanged it for another top.
I did not buy anything as I have already 3 new dresses, and shall save money since I'm not working c:
One dress I bought for myself at Bugis, another dress given by Yi Ning, another dress given by my sister from Bangkok cccc: keep collecting new dresses from ppl lol #advantageofbeingsmallsize
Then we went home around 4.40pm as we're dead tired.

And I'm serious.

The moment I reached home, I went to sleep. Urgh.

Woke up and decided to try energizing myself by playing Cytus. Almost got million master on hard lvl 9 on entrance left wing song!!
Then I went to bath to further refresh myself. :(
By then it's already almost 7pm. Had dinner.

Look at my fish <33333333

Okay that's all. Time to start revising LOL.

Tomorrow have MACC lesson. Oh my god the trauma LOL

When is this ever going to end?! (4th last day) / SS's birthday but where is he :(

By "this", I mean STOCK TRADING.

GAHH I WANNA TAKE THIS WHOLE STOCK TRADING GAME WEBSITE AND THROW IT OUT OF THE WINDOW

I ENDED THE DAY WITH $7.8K LOSSES!!!

Because me and Sheila, realizing we only have 4 days left including today to use up our 10 buy transactions, desperately bought...2 more stocks today. Noble and Raffles Medical.
Noble because Sheila asked me what Shu Ying bought (she was texting me that she spotted me, and I showed Sheila and she asked me XD)
Me and Sheila were at our ITFD group meeting this morning at 11am before school btw. To discuss our documents... sighhhh

So I asked Shu Ying and she said Noble and one more called Biosensor.

So we decided to #yolo and follow the person who's in the top 50 game ranking list!! ccc:

Raffles Medical because Sheila was very stressed and researched our Singapore's major indices during both of our lectures (while I was trying to listen but still zoned out towards the end as usual), and found out that our medical sector is performing NOT too badly...

NEVER MIND, EVERYTHING IS BAD NOW ._. But hey, it was still green when we bought it this afternoon! T_T WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

My God we totally have no idea what stocks left to buy. Market is just crashing down again today. All the stocks seemed to be bad. Either not volatile or... just crashing down.
So anyway, we just went to lecture after our morning ITFD group meeting (we couldn't come to an agreement in the end. Have questions we want to ask our lecturer tomorrow after his lecture but not sure if he'll answer us :|)
During lecture, Yi Ning texted me again >:O

Strawberry because Bei Er who was sitting next to me, shared her body shop strawberry hand cream with me (Trivia: I bought her that as part of my secret santa gift to her last Christmas ccc: she said she'll bring the plum body gel to her Australia trip haha!)

Tsk teasing my seal again! >:C

Sheila was very very stressed and wanted us to use up all our remaining 3 buy transactions by today (she already bought 2 stocks in the lectures and left the last one to me because she's really tired), so she texted me suggesting we should stay back today for our stocks. Honestly I'm so reluctant to though, because I don't feel the stress as she does, and today is only 2 hours! T_T Wahhh I want to join Yi Ning and Fathima and go homeee

Can you see my disguised go-home plan which epicly failed LOL

Never mind, so we stayed back after school and went to our canteen upstairs as I'm hungry and need lunch first LOL

(My half-eaten chicken cutlet LOL)

Ahhh recently I've only been eating from this muslim stall whenever I go to the canteen. I got sick of all the other stall's food although some of them are nice, but I don't know, I just want to eat this now XD It's cheap and good! 

Sheila eventually bought from the same stall too, and she got the "not-so-spicy" chicken meat, and she let me try it. AND MY MOUTH STILL BURNED AND I TEARED FROM IT. WTH. But it's the not so spicy version!!!

Sheila couldn't believe I was already dying from such a small bite from the not so spicy version LOL

Today's the day you learn about my super low tolerance to spicy food, Sheila!!

I wanted to go get a cold drink from the drinks stall immediately, but there was a long queue, so Sheila told me to go refill my water bottle with cold water from the water dispenser first (Smart, Sheila!)

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY...

THE WATER FROM THE "COLD" TAP IS HOT.

AND THE WATER FROM THE "WARM" TAP IS COOLER. (room temp)

WHAT LOGIC DOES THIS WATER DISPENSER HAVE.

I went back and told Sheila it's no use (she was shocked at the water dispenser's logic) and I still went to get my iced Milo from the stall in the end.

Goodbye my $1.10.

Yeah so we stared at stocks while we ate, and continued to stare at stocks after lunch T_T 

Then for awhile, it's just me thinking what stocks we should get while Sheila was doing CNY clothes online shopping on her phone LOL XD

More like she already has new clothes, but just wanted to get another dress :/ 

Sheilaaaaaaa I wanna go home :((((( I keep texting Yi Ning during that time, because Yi Ning was also in the same situation as us and was stuck trying to think what other stock to buy.

HAHAHAHA MY PRAYING SEAL XDDD She remembered!!

Then after some time, we realized.

When Sheila bought the two stocks just now, we used up nearly all our $200k.

We were left with $3k.

To buy a stock, we need to spend minimum $20k.

Conclusion: WE DON'T EVEN HAVE MONEY LEFT TO BUY ANOTHER STOCK.

When Sheila registered that conclusion her mind,

she literally curled up on the bench in despair, and totally regretted buying the two stocks without realizing hahaha!!! XDDDDD

And all our stocks are losing hundreds of dollars. We cannot even get rid of one stock to free up our cash to buy our last stock.

Thinking that, Sheila said "You know what. Let's just go home lol! Forget it, we can't do anything anymore"

And I was like "Yeah...sigh" 

But then in the end, Sheila was reluctant to just let things go like that. She felt we should still stay on and observe the market a bit more. And again, I suggested my disguised go-home plan, but the thing is she needs to return Shi Ting (her friend and our former classmate) her ipad cable, so we can't really leave until 4, and by then it's too late ._.

So I prepared to stay on, took out my foolscap paper and copied down the answers Shu Ying sent me for investment tutorial this week lol XD #productive 

Then after I'm done at around 4pm, market still hasn't improved (Tsk tsk tsk) so Sheila finally gave up and said we'll definitely buy our last stock tomorrow. So we decided to stay back again after school tomorrow. Then Shi Ting and one more person came, so I packed up, bid Sheila goodbye and left.

My lifeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I met Shu Ying on the way back to the station (she and her ITFD group was sitting near the escalator, infront of the staircase I walked down), and she beckoned me over and checked with me some ITFD stuff and asked what stocks I bought. Told her we followed her and bought Noble hahaha!! XDD 

Hopefully our stocks will increase ;_; God our grades are at stake on this, so PLEASE RISE!!!

DON'T CRASH ANYMORE PLEASE OUR GRADES CAN'T CRASH WITH YOU

Okay so home.

Did the remaining question and MST question (Tsk, Yi Ning forgot to send me the answer for MST qn in the end so I asked from Shu Ying), and played Cytus--- OH CYTUS

GUESS WHAT

I SCORED MILLION MASTER FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!

Yes I know it's on easy mode but it's for ENTRANCE!! One of my favourite songs + favourite charts ;w; I never even gotten All Charming (AC) for any of the songs on Deemo before! I was so hyped just now hahahaha!!

Then I scored S for the hard version of left wing (hidden song) of Entrance! I didn't think I'd actually get higher than A for any of the Entrance songs ;____; 

Then feeling confident, I replayed and tried to get million master but failed of course LOL

Ah yes as you can see, I am a bit more free tonight XD

I even played "牵手" by "苏芮" on the piano for my dad, who loves the song very much (he even printed out the piano sheet and taped them nicely, and put on the piano), and genuinely wants to learn and improve his chinese. As you can see, this is where I got my rui "芮" from, because my dad really likes the word. And I honestly really respect him for wanting to improve his chinese. This is really "活到老，学到老" XDD

Okay that's all. I overshot my bedtime. I have to get up early at 6.45am tomorrow because AFA class is at 8.30am. Now it's almost 11.30pm. I'm losing my 8 hours of sleep!!

BYE.

To Shinobu: Happy 20th birthday!
                     We didn't talk again today, but you did messaged me your MCD lunch today, showing your own creation of the chocolate fries (like what they have in Japan), so I hope you at least have a great lunch for your birthday! c:
                      I'm sorry I didn't get anything for you this year, as I don't know what to get you and I don't have time too @_@ *bows apologetically*
                      But I want to thank you for being sweet and caring person to me after we made up.
                      Recently you've been really down. I don't know why (you told me I don't want to know why either :/), and we just made up recently so I don't want to pry in too much. But I want to tell you that things will be better eventually. Nothing can be bad forever (I've had my times of being depressed too). So please don't give up fighting everyday! I believe you can do this.
