OK.. i need not wait till monday for my 8 million dream to be gone. Anyway, i just bought a little bit only.. so i actually didn't expect to win anything (as usual).
Was queuing up for the toto when i saw some foreign workers buying many sets.. and i wondered, if they really won, will they thank sg pools for the lottery? Of coz, everybody gets a chance at it.. so long as you buy, you'll get one (or many many.. depends on how much you buy).
Even kids are somehow being attracted by the 8 mil draw.. still 2 mil shy of the angpow draw. Was at CQ today for beering and i saw a bunch of kids matching winning numbers with a stack of toto tickets. As if they can't wait to know they didn't win like that.. need to do it just outside the toilet, and in the public meh?
By the way, the jackpot is shared by just 8.. which is still quite a lot. In case you all are wondering how much i dump into the pool, it was $3... lol.. in any case, still the same result of my previous $22 input.. so.. i've 'saved' $19 (which was then dump into beering cost).
Perhaps i didn't win the jackpot, that's why i'm feeling ill now. Actually i've been not feeling well since a few days back.. my nose kept running, and there isn't any ways to stop it.. and after beering, it got worse.. now my throat is swollen too.. no wonder it hurts when i played on the horn. I really need to take a break le.. just one week will do.
So inspired was i that i took to learning more about some classical composers online. At least now i know what kv numbers are for.. it's very unique, and only applicable to Mozart works. A bit similar to the opus numbers used by other composers. In all, the kv number runs till 626, with the horn concertos at kv. 412, kv. 417, kv. 447 and kv. 495.
By the way, the numbers are not inspiration for toto hor..

The 8mil Draw
Once again, a draw the exceeds the usual jackpot.. but as usual, the prize attracts additional punters and therefore sharing the prize money. Well.. if anyone is lucky, he/she might be the sole winner wor.. but if suay.. maybe the 8 mil is shared by 40+ people.
So these few days, i've been 'irritating' people with hypothetical questions of what if they won the coming toto.. lol.. as if it was so easy to win like that. Read some long long time ago on the ST.. the actual chance of winning is 1/8,000,000. LOL! But then again, people are still winning.. as they always say, "got buy, got chance!".. totally agree.. but everything is up to luck leh.. so even if you buy $2 quickpick, it would be perfectly alright... maybe the computer is nice to you and give you the winning number lei? You never know unless you try (i alwasy tried le then i know i shouldn't have..lol).
LOL.. i'm not promoting gambling here.. and you need not to be tempted.. unless you need that extra 8 mil to save the failing banks or something like that.. then maybe you can try. However, do recognise that this is one of the 'fastest' way and also one which requires minimum 'investment' in return for millions.. that is, if you win la. And that, you'll know the results by friday.. and so can stop dreaming (and return to reality)of how to spend that 8 million by the next weekday.

Youth Olympics @ SG
Congrats to Singapore for winning the bid for the 2010 Youth Olympics!
Wow.. suddenly so many things happening at SG. We got the coming F1 race, and the 2 IRs on the way, and now the youth olympics.
Of coz other than these events, we still got our toto angbao draw with a payout of 10 million SGD! Too bad i didn't place any bets this year.. haha.. and of coz no buy means no chance lor. But i'm not a gambler.. at least not a compulsive one.. so i guess the IR also won't make a difference.
I think the coming youth olympics will add more buzz to the lion city.. and hopefully, (please) a greater improvement to the public transport system.. especially the buses. ERPs will not discourage people to use public transport.. only an efficient, fast and reliable public transport system will make it better.
LOL.. i'm just making this an opportunity to lament about the buses that seems cmi.. lol.. but anyway, still all the best to SG for the 2010 youth olympics. ^^

I have a Dream
"Have you ever thought about your future?"
Well, up till this stage, who never? I thought i think bloody too much.. but i met my match today. Yet the setting was more than i can take.. yes, i can discuss about my thoughts, how i want my life to be in the future, and what i may be planning to do to achieve it, whether i really do it or not. But, in a MMORPG? LOL.. scare the hell out of me lor. Strictly speaking, i don't even really know that person.. so how well will that person know me?
Rather 不爽 coz, i play game to relax de.. in the end got more stressed. LOL.. and what makes one think that we are without dreams? Even if it conforms to the view of society, it doesn't matter, nor is it more inferior. My point is, do not think that one is more superior than other just because of a "greater" dream. I say, who and what you are, determines what you want to dream of. Some people just want simple dreams, to have a nice family, stable job and good health. (that is maybe what most people want.. who doesn't?) Others might want to be millionaires or even multi so that they can have more wants from that want.. it all depends on the individual.
I am not being affected by what people want, rather, why should they bother with what i want? That bothers me. And what makes them think that i am wrong in pursuing my dream? I think i now have a new dream - knowing what these people really want to achieve by downplaying other people.
LOL.. almost 气死我了. Specific dream, or just a vauge one? It depends too. If i say i want to be a millionaire through winning the toto draw, you think i can forsee when i tio meh? Need to set deadline and have a specific plan? Incorporate the probability of winning somemore and give a definate answer as to when i can be one when i say that? Ok, there are a total of 8 million combinations from the toto draw and the probability of winning with a 50 cents quickpick is 1/8,000,000. Given that there are 2 draws per week, just over 100 draws per year, there is a chance of being a millionaire in just 5 years with a probability of 0.0000325625, (the method of calculation is still being contended - 1/8,000,000 x [(summation of 1-520)/520] assuming the prize is 1 million and the cost are sunk cost. Unrealistic it seems, that's why it is a dream.
And with regards to equity investment, i didn't say any strategy employed would guarantee a success.. neither am i ignorant of the bigger institution out there that have the abilities to. These are all what other, or even most people are doing.. just becoz that something written from some book doesn't mean that it is so. In my opinion, these are just opinions. I think, what is more important is, is that opinion really your opinion. In fact, if your opinion is right, it doesn't really matters.. for it will sail with the wind. Even auntie can do it based on common sense lor.
Don't say i think so much, becoz i didn't say anyone didn't think.. and there are people out there thinking way more lor.. so don't limit my thoughts. Yupz, all thoughts and nothing done equals nothing, i know that too. Knew that becoz i am slow.. so think more lor.
LOL.. a rather bad day becoz tio ka cheow me.. haha. Despite, maybe i'm not being concrete on my "plans".. therefore can tio ka cheow.. haha.. and it all happened in the MMORPG.. unbelievable.

Come Friday
Everyone is talking about friday. The school kids will get back their 'o' levels result, and even though i've gotten my results ages ago, i can't help but feel anxious. The reason: the toto 10 million draw opens on friday!
So today at my workplace, i placed 'some' bets on quick pick.. sure it was quick, but the numbers don't turn out nice though. A lot of numbers to check.. i do hope to win.. and when i win, i'll quit my job and get my ipod. But it isn't easy. 8 million combination.. and anyone else could win it with a 50 cents quick pick.. the more people buy, the more the prize is shared among. But at least this is something for me to hope. And maybe for all others who had bought.
Workaholic these days.. worked overtime till 11 plus at night. The time of the year where all the sales end, wagon being kept, gondola being set up. Though i have nothing to keep, nothing to set up, i stayed according to my own will.. i guess i'm just plain dumb. I won't get OT pay since my manager knew i need not stay.. i also don't know. Work seems the only thing in my life now.
Maybe was some bad luck or what.. got a cut on my palm while trying to keep a ladder. And it was a deep cut.. plus the skin was dangling.. and haiz.. just didn't concentrate for a moment and this sort of thing happen.
Marketing tomorrow.. supposed to have a 'test' tomorrow.. but i didn't have the time to study.. don't know whether to go or not.. maybe should study and see how? I sort of 'missed' school.. and of coz, TS too.. haha.. Thankfully, i'll be in school the whole toopid day.. coz FI shifted to the 7 pm slot.. and full day in school means no rest for me. And come friday, i'll slog through at work again... and the whole cycle starts before i can 'enjoy' my 'break' on the coming thursday.. haiz.
