Happy new year! Gong xi fa cai! time to get fat!!

This year's chinese new year coincides with mid-sem break coincides with studying time for 4 mid-term tests so it's very sad... can't even eat bah kwa in peace!! had to go back hall to mug on chu san (third day of chinese new year). how xian is that man.

Andand i realised that after all these years (20 in all), the nominal value of my standard angbao money is still $4 despite inflation (where the money supply increases and the LM curve shifts to the right and income increases), so the real value of angbaos has dropped. i think i'll be very poor this year so my autonomous consumption and investment should fall so that the IS curve will shift to the left. but this will not affect interest rate because maybe the LM curve is horizontal.

Actually i dunno what i'm talking about. i need to read chapter 4 again.

I wanted to post photos but i'm lazy and i need to read chapter 5 6 7 plus half of the international econs textbook which i didn't buy. ok.

PS. A few nights before cny, i was on my way downstairs to mug when a big group of YEP people stormed in and claimed that they are going Cambodia to save the lives of the starving kids. *snorts* hello i think you mean you are going there to build a room which they can build faster by themselves hahaha... but anyway what a chaos!!! they were trying to offer cleaning services to raise money for their trip. everyone was talking at the same time and i couldn't really hear what they were saying hahaha but it was funny... i kept hearing people randomly shouting xiaowei! chinagirl! we paid to watch production so you must support us also!! i felt so pressurized so i asked chengyow to pay them. hahhaa until now i haven't paid him back. i owe money over new year!! dieeeeeeeeee. desiree refused to lend me money cos it was cny :(

Anyway, the point is... they looked like they're having so much fun that i wanna join yep too. haha even though i never believed in such overseas trips to "improve the lives of the poor village people" cos i think we're more of a liability to them. i felt that the money spent on the trip could be put to greater use. but i guess the trip serves a purpose of spreading joy and laughter to the villagers. so if i go i cannot be bitchy haha.

Ohoh and i also wondered how they "pick" village. is there like a "standard" place that singaporeans go all the time? or do the villagers "apply" for help?
