This calls for a celebration! Two things to celebrate. Firstly, the most important one – the bloody [well, it should be since it's sucking my blood!] mosquito in my room is gone!

Day after day, I am disturbed by this mosquito. I tried to kill it but it is simply too fast for me. Or maybe I am too slow.

Either way, it’s gone. For good obviously. It feeds on my blood and it’s really annoying obviously. It stays in my room like a fellow resident but fail to pay up the rent except to suck my blood. How parasitic.

I opened my door to encourage it out of my room, but it is apparently not working, because every evening I sit in front of the computer with some stupid mosquito trying to get my attention.

The second thing worth celebrating is that my ATM PIN is accepted. Joy to the world. I need to be nagged by my mother on the fact that I changed ATM card twice for this reason. This is my 3rd ATM card.

[Damn, my mother gave me a cup filled with what I would say looked innocently like water and it turned out to be ginseng. I just eaten oranges. It's sweet, now it's "bittering" my taste buds.]

I walked in front of the ATM machine and attempt to withdraw money. I tried another one of my many combinations of PIN. I was smiling to myself when I see the money coming out from the ATM.

I was really excited and if were to be all alone would have shouted, “YES! YES! YES! Oh my lord, the money’s out! Bless the ATM machine!” [Thankfully I didn't, because people who hear it would have reported me to the police thinking I correctly guess someone else's PIN and withdrew money without authorization.]

Note: There are some shifts in the date and time of the previous 2 posts.

Not swimming pool, I am referring to the pool as in pool and billiards. We supposed to have our 3-hour Quantitative Analysis class today, but the teacher shorten it to 2. I am quite happy about it actually; it isn’t exactly a joy to be in that class. However, in addition to another 2-hour break we have, it totals up to 3-hour worth of free time.

I can’t recall who suggested it, but it wasn’t long that I find myself at the pool house. Those whom I know who went there were (in alphabetical order): Benjamin, Peishan, Priscilla (I think that’s her name, I can’t confirm; many a times I daren’t call her name), Xinni, Yong Liang and Zhi Yuan. They asked me if I tried pool before and I shook my head. I lied (not verbally at least).

As a matter of fact, I did try pool. Once, I played once only. I won too, against Billy (I think we were at Billy Billiards, lol). Billy made a mistake, allowing his white ball to go into the hole without touch his last ball (the black one). If it weren’t for him to tell me that I’ve won, I wouldn’t have possibly known it too. However, I do not consider myself knowing how to play still; I can’t even hold the cue properly.

Anyway (anyhow), back to the point. Zhi Yuan taught me pool there. I played against him and lost the first round with him. I played the second round and won! This time, I did not win by that foul committed by Billy. I really did win.

Reasons I won: I am damn lucky, watching those solid-colored balls entering those hole. Zhi Yuan is constantly pointing out to me which ball to hit (although he kinda stopped after I left 3 balls). I have quite a number of chances to place the white ball anywhere I want.

Reasons Zhi Yuan lost: White ball goes into the hole several times. He has been quite unlucky as he failed to direct the ball into the holes. The position of his ball does not favor him, as mine is blocking a lot of hole entrances (I never intend for this to happen, those balls just went there themselves, hahaa). More importantly, Peishan taunts him constantly, supporting me instead.

Beginner’s luck perhaps? I do not know about it, but Zhi Yuan looks at the pool table in dispair. He was so mad that time. He couldn’t even believe he lost.
