rained out
backk from my marathon of days.

everything went to schedule cept for some items, like the first one which i had to go to my sam sok kong's place (3rd grand uncle) but was skipped cuz my cousins went ahead of me so i met them and went to my da ee ma's hse takin a lift from there. reached there, started work heh. did up some flower arrangements with my cousins and then some lighting arrangements for the tentage that was set up over the buffet table. followed by standing ard and waiting for things to do. btw i think it started raining since ard 12 noon that day (fri). so had lots of work to do. like after the rain stopped, we rushed to dry the tables, chairs and put on the tablecloth only for it to start raining. so in short before i had dinner i had my workout and was drenched. food was ok but the rendang by my auntie and the pig trotters by my uncle's colleague was nothing short of fantastic. then the fun for the night began ;)

noticed that some of the kids and one adult were playing bluff then the other adults joined him in playing gin rummy (one lucky dude walked off with some 500+ bucks). then the 'kids' went on to more bluff then bridge which raised more than a few eyebrows and plenty of onlookers and 'students'. usually when there's this sort of functions me and my cousins (tze wei, daniel, deuel) would end up playing bridge but tonight there was a new player in town..or rather in da house. she's rather good (eg. when you bid 3 spades and she wins the first 5 for you and is your partner, knowing wat to play and when to) and kinda impressed me lol. yes, she's rather cute and she's younger than all of us haha which obviously means some of us might need to buck up ;P. think her name's christine but shall cfm with my cousins who prob know her better. strange part is that i see her every cny at my da ee ma's house but i think she looks very familiar like i met her somewhere else and sometime i can't remember.

so they all left at ard 12 midnite and then came round 2. which was mahjong ;P heh i know that its sorta associated with gambling and stuff but i can't help but say it intrigues my mind. (how would you define 'luck'?) so played till 4.30 in the morning then went to sleep and try to wake up at 8 heh. (thanks serena for the wake up sms! :)) then only to discover that soccer was cancelled and i could grab a couple more hours of sleep (which i did) and thus wake up in time to go down to lianyi's house for lunch.

so off to lianyi's place to go and bai nian and meet up with friends and end up playing mahjong again =s hahah..guess some habits die hard. which summed up the whole afternoon and then off to walther's place.

after an hour's bus ride =s (which i was so uber bored) reached his place and immediately began on a game called "Boomo" (?). then uno with the usual rules as i remember. had a good score till got sabo-ed =/ (had 8 pts after 3 rds which had me hoping for better..then got 92 the next =s) so after uno finished at 7, i had 154 pts which was ok la considering angeline had 74(?) and eric had 98. then went for dinner at gillman heights food centre, having some japanese pizza thing. quite unique i would say but nth super fantastic and yes its still raining.

been raining since noon of friday and stopping or drizzling then heavy downpour but for most of this evening was such heavy downpour. visiblilty was so bad and the drains are flooding up. seems as perpectually raining on cny day2 and hot and dry on day1, but no matters. :)
