World Trade minis?!

WOW, i think this would be the best weekend i would have this year... i simply get to laze around and do whatever that fancies me.

on saturday, me, my mum and i went to the great popular sale! haix, we didn really buy much cos the things there were mostly books and toys. we bought a reversi set for $2.50 so cheap! hahaz

on monday, i had to go to school for the WORLD TRADE GAME thingy. i actually imagined beforehand and my imagination was quite correct! :0P There were many stations, each represent a certain country or continent in the world. There is Europe, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Japan, U.S.A., Indonesia, Mexico, etc then we are supposed to trade among ourselves... in order to meet our target( target= enough endproducts to feed our ppl) so the countries themselves have raw products namely, grain, cotton, oil, plane, steel. and the end products= bread, textiles, energy, tourism and cars.

i really pity our neighbour, Saudi Arabia-chuwen, sumin and huei li, their only resourse is oil, but they have lots of money... they had a hard time finding resources to fufil their needs, but in the end they still above average...
on the other hand, i am in brazil or rather BRASIL, i was quite glad that we were self-sufficient, so we got extra raw materials and end products...but right like zhiyun said watever we do, we still cant beat the average score, they shd tell us exaclty how the calculate the scores so we can have a better picture and goal... we tried having lots of $$ and then lots of investment and then lots of END products but to no avail...that's sad :'o( in this sense it dosen't make any sense, they said that having more end products would give more points then money but in the real world doesn't a country sell off endproducts to earn more money? what's the use of having more end products when your population doesn't need it? duh...

On tuesday, we went to Cineleisure to watch Lemony Sicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events... it was really nice and exciting! erm... here's some spoiler so i shall write it in black so only ppl who want to see it can do so by highlightin the words... the part where Aunt Josephine's hse is tore away from the cliff is reall exciting... i was so worried for Violet, Klaus and Sunny... Violet is the one with an inventor's mind, she is really clever, and Klaus is a reader who remembered every single thing that he read... lastly, i love Sunny best... she is so cute! her talent lies in bitin... although she merely shrieks, she is really clever and so adorable!!!! So Violet is the eldest followed by Klaus and then cute little Sunny... it was really a pity that i cant watch Howl's moving castle with Yingxian and chaneline that day cos it was simply to late...
by the way, for lunch, Sharon, weiling, xinhui, eileen and i ate a really satisfying meal! We went to Mache, expensive place, but very nice... Eileen and I shared pizza( with five toppings of our choice!) and Spaghetti in cream sauce..yummy Everyone also tasted a bit of weiling's or xinhui's mashed potato, sharon's garlic ( or issit oinion soup?) or weiling's mushroom soup. Mmmmmmmm the smells still lingers......
