I know i know.
I haven't been posting much lately but believe me when i say with 4 projects underway and thousands of words to write for my essays , blogging becomes second priority because your energy is channelled elsewhere.
Besides , i've been really too busy this week due to CNY visiting / gatherings with friends and relatives.
And of course , none without the compulsory gambling sessions that comes with each , turning the hosts' living room into a makeshift gambling den.
Boy am i glad to report profits for all !!
I think i'm becoming a real pro at deception/mind games. I used to be quite a "transparent" person whose facial expression depends on the cards i hold , thus i am a boon to all the "Zheng gehs" .
Of course you would flip open my cards despite the fact that i have only two because i have the words "MY CARDS ARE ONLY WORTH 16 POINTS PLEASE DO NOT FLIP OPEN MY CARDS" all over my forehead that is creased with a heavy frown.
But not anymore.
I have learnt to manipulate my expressions , although underneath the table my legs are quivering because i am taking big risk with such small cards and the only way i can hope for a win is when the "zheng geh" goes bust with more than 21 points.
And they usually do , oh Hallejujah !
I can't wait for the next gambling session concealed as a friendly visit . HEH HEH HEH.
Chinese new year.
A time to visit and catch up with the rest ?
MY ASS !
More like a time for vices like gambling , over-indulgence on the booze ( especially when its a gathering of the men folks ) and little tots getting a taste of the real world when they clamber all over adults for their share of ang baos and sulking when they realise it contains a paltry $2 in it.

Camera whore !!

Yay. More photos .
Me , Ping and Pei .
Is it just me , or do i look insanely childish in this picture ?
GAMBLERS UNITE !!!!!
By the way , i really really HATE trying for a "Gor leng" or 5 cards unless absolutely necessary like when i have insufficient points because the last card ALWAYS turns out to be a Terrific Ten or a member of the royal family .
Which means that i'll end up with a beautiful 22 points or more.
The "Zheng Geh's" stash of winnings. A sight you'll definitely seldom see on non-CNY days.
Hell yeahhh. Kaifong's ( my ex classmate ) mom makes the BEST steamboat base around. No doubts about it !
Nicholas and me . Yeah , he's one of the girls !
Solo. Do not be alarmed at the mosaic-ed person behind , its only Ping ! I blurred it because she was looking elsewhere and the effect wasnt so good.
Pei and Nic.
Actually Pei has kinda big eyes , but she's always smiling SOOOOOO widely that her eyes crinkles up into nothingness. LOL. But she still looks sweet aye ?
Lastly , me and Nic again !!
