Mama

haiz... Squatemates having fun in library... My papa take leave to teach me and my sis science today, so cannot stay in library. I went for library for a pathetic 15 mins only!! We saw Mr Ho and another teacher ban-ing tables and remembered that last time when we helped the librarian ban tables. So we went up and offered our help to them. Coz tomorrow LA, no need to study. Then I only help for 10 mins then have to go le. Oh, the librarian didn't let us ban the tables, she made us sort out the books. I think the next time we can go and help is next Wednesday, after exams. Tomorrow have to study for History, Thursday have to study for Science, Friday we playing basketball XD, Monday and Tuesday no need to go school and Wednesday is the last paper le. But very fun to help the librarians!!!

I almost read finish my Two-Minute Mysteries book le :) hahaha. I read very slow de. I give you all one nice one :) But quite easy la... Coz it's my bro's book. just took it to read coz it's on mysteries and from the author of Encyclopedia Brown!!! haha.

Dr.Haledjian had just ordered a drink at the bar in the Las Vegas motel when a lean young stranger with sun-bleahed golden hair and tanned cheeks took the stool beside him.

After asking for a gin and tonic, the sunburned young man nodded toward the gaming tables. "Name's Clive Vance" he said genially. "It's sure great to be back in civilization and hear money talking out loud."

The famous sleuth introduced himself. "I take it you've been out on the desert?"

"Got back yesterday," said Vance. "Washed the dust out of my ears, had a real live barber shave off seven months of whiskers and trim this mop of wheat. Then I bought a whole wardrobe on credit. All I had to show was my assay report. Boy, am I ever ready to celebrate."

"You found gold?"

"Right you are. Hit pay dirt." Vance stroked his bronzed chin thoughtfully. He lowered his voice confidentially.

"Listen," he said. "If I can find a backer, I'lll take enough of those hills to buy ten pleasure palaces like this one. Of course," he added apologetically,"I'm not trying to interest you, doctor. Still, if you know somebody who'd like to get in on a sure thing, let me know. I'm staying in Room 210. Can't give out details here, you understand."

"I understand," said Haledjian,"That you'd better improve your story if you want to part some sucker from his money."

What's wrong with Vance's story?
