Erm... first of all, chinese new year is coming. Have you bought your clothes,bags or shoes? Let's see erm... I bought 2 T-shirts, 2 jeans and a pair of shoe. For some reason, I realise that the shoe I bought was a display set. I can't exchange for a new one because it's the last pair left and it's the only size available. Coincidentally, the size of that display set fit my feet. So I was like okay... it's alright. I told my mum about it and I expect her reaction to be like 'huh?' but she didn't. She surprised me by saying that it's better. Since people have already tried the shoe before, I won't have any blister. LOLOL.

I asked my friend to buy TOTO because yesterday there was a special event. So both of us bought $5 each. I did not win anything but my friend strike 4 numbers. Maybe that's what you call beginners luck. I have never strike TOTO in my life. I started buying 4D first when I was young and because of beginners luck, I won $10. :D It's been a long long time since I last strike any prize. Sigh..
Oh ya.. talking about gambling, the 2 casinos in Singapore have found fake chips which they are investigating who did it. Sometimes I really wonder.... is the opening of the 2 casinos a good or a bad thing? It's not something that I can change or control over. But seriously, the casinos are causing us a lot of trouble.
The government have been arresting people who gamble illegally at a gambling den. They discourage gambling. Then the stupid thing is that the casinos promote gambling and it's exactly the same as gambling illegally. Just that casino is legal.

I have a question which I have been thinking for the past few days. I didn't realise it until yesterday. I don't know if this is also the same in other country but I realise that bus drivers do not have a seat belt. Why? Traffic police have been promoting safety campaigns. Please drive safely, please do not drink and drive, please wear your seat belt etc. So by default, bus drivers should also wear a seat belt. I asked my friend why and he said that it's because bus travel at a slow speed. So they don't require a seat belt. SBS bus in Singapore have a speed limit of 60 km/h. Van and lorry also have a speed limit of 60km/h. So if there is a seat belt for van and lorry, I don't see why bus is so special. We cannot assume that the bus driver will be safe since they drive at a slow speed. Accidents do happen. There is no airbag or seat belt to save them at all.
I searched the question on google but no one can explain it. The debate goes on and on but no actions are taken. We must bear in mind that speed is not the only factor that leads to fatal accident.

Lastly, let's talk about the word 'assume'. We assume things because there is a high chance of occurring. When we see dark clouds, we will bring an umbrella knowing that it will rain soon. However, it's just that we are assuming that it will rain. It may not necessarily rain even though there are dark clouds.
Yawn... I shall continue this topic in the future. LOL. Too tired.

*continue* So problem arises when we assume the wrong thing. We assume things because there is a high chance of occurrence. 
For example, we assume that we will be safe from lightning strike as long as we stay indoor. But take a look at this article.

As long as the probability of occurrence is not 0, we cannot say that it will not happen.

Hmm... I woke up this morning and saw a message received on my phone. It's my father and I was pretty shocked. He asked if I am free to come out at 11am today and I told him that I am not free because I have lessons in school. So he asked me what about this afternoon and I rejected him because my lesson end at 4pm. He didn't reply after that. I am confused..... and my heart hurts. I don't know what to do. Even though my parents are divorced, he's still my father after all. But I just can't forgive him.....not for the things that he have done to hurt mum. But because I have evidence to show that he's with another woman right now. I didn't tell my mother about this. Maybe she wouldn't even care about him even if I tell her that dad is dead. But I am seriously too disappointed in my father. He swore to me that he doesn't have a woman outside. And I don't know since when did this happen..... all I know is that my mum has reached her limit. I won't let anything hurt her anymore.......because the truth hurts.

Sigh... why do people cheat? I don't know. I cheated before but fortunately, my conscience woke me up. There are lots of weird things that we humans do without knowing why. A perfect example would be someone who smoke. Smokers know that smoking is bad for health. They also know that it's expensive to buy 1 packet of cigarette. But if you were to ask them why are they still smoking despite the cost and disadvantages, they themselves won't know why. Smokers can tell you a million times that they will quit. But in the end? You know the answer.
It takes a special and strong mindset to overcome those weird problems. Not that it's impossible.
Look at the sky.... and you will see hope.
