Spirit of the Coin

This 'game' came to my mind when I was watching TV yesterday. So just wanna share my experience here.

Spirit of the coin. I think most of us had heard of the spirit of the coin or had even played this 'game' before. I still remembered that during my primary school days, this 'game' is very popular with many playing in school. Thus, this 'game' is been banned by the school even when it is been played outside school classes.

So, how is the spirit of the coin been played? Ok, a group of maybe 3 or 4 will use their index finger and press onto a coin. This coin will be on top of a paper with the letters A to Z and the numbers 0 to 9 written on it. The 'game' starts when the players will ask any spirits around to go into the coin. And each members will take turns to ask the spirit some questions. After the questions is been asked, the coin will move to show you the answer. Sounds impossible for those who had not played this 'game' before, but I can assure you, the coin will really moves! How do I know? Well, I played with this 'game' before.

That time was either in secondary or poly days. Guys at chalet almost always got nothing better to do. So we decided to play this 'game'. So we took turns to ask questions and the coin will move. When my turn comes, I decided to ask personal questions which only myself and not my group of friends knows the answer. No matter how personal the questions are, the coin will move to the correct answer. However, later we found out during the 'game' is that the 'spirit' is able to answer you questions that you already had an answer in your mind. That is, if you are thinking of an answer like "yes I am a virgin" to a question to "Am I a virgin?", the answer will be "Yes" even when you are actually not a virgin.. hahaha... fun right.. go play play!!!

What a sweet sweet victory

Yooooooooo hooooooooooooo! Manchester United 0 Arsenal 1

Arsenal had its first win of the season! And what a great place to have our first win at, Old Trafford. Man Utd had started the season with a perfect record. 4 out of 4 wins. Arsenal? The worst start in a season in some 10 years under Arsene Wenger, gaining only 2 points out of 3 matches and laying shamelessly at 17 th place. So everyone said that Arsenal had no chance at all. Some even predicted a 3-0 victory to the Devils. In the end, Arsenal played their best ever match so far in their 4-5-1 formation and deserved their win. Actually, they deserved to win by a greater scoreline if not for some nervious finishing.

Past history had shown that when Arsenal beat Man Utd at home, they will go on to win the League title. So, this is the season for Arsenal.


Emmanuel Adebayor. The player who scored Arsenal winner in the 87th minutes.

Strange dreams

This morning, just before I woke up, I had a pretty strange dream. I had actually dreamt about my primary school mate. Just one of them appeared in my dream. She is a gal named Bizhen. She is the gal who sat infront of me in class. Haha.. I had pretty good memory. Well, it had been a long long time since I graduated from my primary school in 1989. For the record, I am from May Primary School. Just learnt that the school had already closed down in 2001. So sad...

After I woke up from my dreams, I felt a bit of nostalgic and missed my prmary school days. So I went searching for my autograph book and started to read some of the entries. Saw the entry that is enterd by Bizhen.. here it goes...

"To: Peixi

Every day of our friendship is as the rays of a new dawn
Time may separate us, but distance cannot alter
feelings and trusts between friends who realise that the
same common bond is felt in the heart.
As our friendship grows and days become years, we will look
at our yesterdays and waiting for our tomorrows.

Best Wishes to you

Your friend
Li Bizhen

Quite a chim entry for a sch children at primary 6. I admit that although I am in the best primary 6 class (haha.. yah its true) I do think I can write something so chim then. Hmmm.. maybe she copied it somewhere.... :p

Anyway, this dream makes me wanna find back my primary school friends. It is definitely a tough job as it is already so many years since our last contact. And also our apperances had certainly changed alot. Tried finding them in friendster but no luck. So all I can do now is to look back on my memories and relive my primary school days...... I miss my primary school days......

My Birthday, 8 Sept

8 Sept is my birthday. On this day, received some greetings from my friends in the form of handphone messages.. haha.. all of which are sent by my female friends. One of my close friend, Sandra, called me from Sydney. She is doing the night shift in ICU when she called. Well, thanks friends for all your greetings.

Spent almost the whole of my birthday at Sentosa with my dear. First ended up at Underwater World. This is the first time we visit this place together. As usual, lots of fishes and lots of people. Lots of children enjoying their last day of school holidays. Sigh... dun like places with so many people..

Some fishes pics....







Not bad hoh.. Looks like as if the pics are taken during a dive.. ha...

As the entry ticket to Underwater World also includes the entry to Dolphin Lagoon, we also went to catch a dolphin show there. First time to see the pink dolphins since the place opened few years back. The half and hour show is ok. The dolphins are cute but still felt sorry for them. These cute dolphins should be in the open ocean but not kept in captive.

Anyway, had an enjoyable dinner by the beach at Coastes Resturant. Din managed to see any stars as the sky is very cloudy.

Overall, Sentosa had developed alot during the last three years. Much more things to do there then before. However, all these activities are all damn expensive. More for the tourists. Do not see a point for locals to spend so much on some of the activities there.

After Sentosa, when for a walk at Sembawang Park. Sounds ulu right? But the place is packed with people having their BBQ, fishing etc... But still nice and quiet...

So this is how I spent my 18th birthday! I will looking forward to more of my 18th birthdays!!
