happy

made my dad laugh today. as i was going to pool haven in the afternoon after seeing him, he asked where was my cue case which i usually lug ard. and i said it was back there at ph and he laughed and said that since i'm an "instructor" there i could leave it there heh. that certainly brought a smile to my face and laughter to my father :)

gave him my dhw notes so he could study the bible when he could while he is there and then headed down to ph to meet an "interested buyer" and some friends. so went to meet this guy and when he saw the cue and fitted it on his ugly rage/fury nr-8 (which he claims is the best looking cue in the whole NR range -- not too mention that it had decals for inlay WOOOW! so nice!..urgh ugly crap) then he started to criticise the shaft by saying "oh there's a ding here and there's the chalk stains in the wood" and i'm like thinking, "DUH! its a 2nd hand shaft rite?". then he carried on to saying, "oh i can get one from the Qshop at 290. so i dun wanna pay so much for a 2nd hand one" and i was thinking, "erm sure go ahead then. if you are gonna get one from there why bother making me come out to meet you to get criticized?". wat a dimwit. so when he was finished with his crictisms and downplaying, he passed the shaft back to me and i just shoved it back to its hole in my case with some attitude. then he asked wat was the lowest price i could go to and i told him 220. then he said he would get back to me by weds and honestly. i can sell him the cue and beat the living ass out of him on the table with my cheapo joss (which btw has mother-of-pearl inlays..dig that you decal lover!).

so after that the couple of games were so-so and then called it a day and went for reunion steamboat at my uncle's place at pasir ris. rather uneventful despite the durian strudel which didn't taste too good and i just got back.

wondering over a queer problem but shan't think so much :)
