Camp & Books

Books I've read since the holidays. Currently reading the third book, Mockingjay of the Hunger Games trilogy. It's touted as the next Harry Potter. I think the plot loses to Harry Potter but it's quite un-put-downable. Cus the plot is like forever exciting, Katniss the protagonist is always in danger. Hunger games is kinda like a reflection of the current state of all societies. How the rich are more ambitious and more powerful and hence get more ahead while those who are poor starves and loses :(

Fortune's Formula was interesting cus it's about stocks and gambling. The book mentioned some of the finance concepts that I learnt during the sem and I think it's quite useful!

The Bernie Madoff book was ultra boring cus it was just about how Madoff got his funds to operate his Ponzi scheme but I can say that I know how the finance world works better after reading the book. I skipped certain sections cus there were just too many feeder funds and the writer went off to like illustrate all?

Just came back from camp two days ago and I came back dead tired. The camp was fun and I miss the company I had in camp. Huimin and Tangjie are so funny and we spent time either talking crap or late night HTHT. I missed playing the ZR though even though I'm quite cuiii. I can't wait for my term to be over after the camp cus I discovered some stuffs which makes me upset. But it's okay cus I know nothing can change it and all I want to do now is to do my best and complete my term, as both SS and concert comm.

Felt strong motivation to practise ZR after camp. Hopefully I will cus the songs are really difficult! So fast!! :((
