Day 11

I slept very late the previous night as I was chatting on Msn. So this morning I woke up quite late. Well, everyone was literally late as well. It also rained again in the morning, making all of us shivering when we walked outside in the cold. It was only 3pm when we were all dismissed from class. I and Ram followed Agnes and her gang to a restaurant to have porridge. It was quite tasty and not as bad as I had imagined. After that, we walked to the main road. Agnes suggested that we go visit the arcade nearby. Once we went inside, we were greeted by numerous token machines. The arcade there was like a casino. There is also probably a age category for these machines. Some machines had cartoon and animation which is designed for children. Whereas the others were machines which have a mechanism of pushing the coins until it falls off into a hole in which the player can take it from the bottom of the machine. From there, I could see middle-aged adults playing like high-rollers. This is because they came into the arcade and changed cash into bags of token to play at these machines. You do not get to see these machines in Singapore’s arcade anymore. I do not really approve of it as a machine like this is encouraging gambling. I feel that an arcade should be mainly video games and simulation, other than that it should be in a casino. Meanwhile, I played the basketball game in the arcade. I was very unlucky as one of the balls which I threw rebounded on the fence and hit me on my face. My spectacles dropped on the floor with the lens coming out of its position. Well, after playing for about 4 hours, we finally left the arcade. I straightaway went to a spectacles shop inside the campus and asked them to help me fix my spectacles. Luckily, they managed to twist my spectacles back into position. Another good news was that they did not request any charge for it, which I am so thankful for. Everyone was feeling hungry by then, so we settled for a restaurant nearby. I paid 10RMB for a plate of rice and vegetables, the serving was quite big and I ate to my heart’s content. I and Ram later followed the girl back to the hostel where I took the soccer ball. It was quite late already and there is not much cars on the road so I and Ram dribbled and passed the ball around to each other while walking back to our hostel. When we reached the hostel, I immediately went to Chau Liang’s room to use the internet. I finally finished chatting with my friends and it was 2am by then. I took a quick bath and watched television for a while before sleeping.
