Sick, Tired, Broke

Went Uncle Ringo Fun Fair at Woodlands on sat night with my JC friends. The admission fee is $2 but the rides inside were rather expensive. Most of the rides there require 3 tokens and we need to exchange money for tokens at the booths. One token costs $2.50 and we exchanged for 4 tokens initially. Took a ride on Air Force 1 which is a revolving claw like machine suspended from the ground which swings 180 degrees from left to right. It is a rather exciting ride but i think we probably shouldn't have chose it as the first one to try as it moves quite fast and is rather challenging. Derrick and i were a bit nauseous after the ride and we rested for some time and checked out other fun rides. There is a reverse bungee and it costs 9 tokens which is $22.50, cheaper than the one in clarke quay which costs $30. But none of us tried it though.
The second most expensive ride which costs 6 tokens is a very tall 360 degrees rotating pin and it has a very large circumference. It is slightly lower than the reverse bungee but it is very challenging as well. The price factor was restricting us from trying them. We exchanged for 2 more tokens and were deciding on Skyfire, a tall machine which spins 360 degrees from both directions and suspends people upside down for some time in the middle of the ride.

It is rather exciting too but felt a bit painful when overturned coz the whole body weight is resting on the shoulders and my shoulders were a bit sun burnt on fri when i went sentosa. It was still not bad a ride but Derrick and i got a bit dizzy as expected. I was in a better condition although i still felt a bit weak on the knees. We had already spent $17 on the 2 rides including the admission fee.


Left after Jimmy spent the remaining of his tokens as he deemed some of the rides we took to be too challenging. Felt much better after our dinner at the food court. Edwin sent his gf home after that and we went West Mall to watch Constantine as cathay cineplexes do not have that show. Gs met up with us, we caught the 11.45 pm show and had the front row seats as we bought the tickets 5 mins before the show. My back was a little sore after the show was i slid my body down so that my head need not bend too much upwards. Left for home after that.

Kit Wing's 21st birthday party is at her house today and most of us arrived late as usual. We had contributed for a pair of diamond earrings as her present. Had some food and held a mini gambling den in her room. It was rather cramped as around 14 of us sat in a circle to play blackjack. Each of us had to be dealer for 2 rounds as no one wanted to be the dealer. Some of them had really small bets like 10 cents and 20 cents and we were always short of coins to pay as there were many people playing. Left at around 4.30 pm as some of the guys had to book in and some had to continue visiting relatives at night.


Counted my ang baos just now and the total was a whopping $502. It is considered quite a huge increase from previous years as quite a lot of my cousins got married and my parents had invited many of their country club friends over to our house on the first day of CNY. Returned $400 to my father as i owed him money for the driving lessons.

Slept for a few hours just now as i took my cough/flu medicine which made me quite drowsy.
