Poker

Hao-e and i just came back from a night of poker at kieran's place, southhampton. his house backed out into riddles bay, and they own a little boat for fishing, or so he says. before getting to the house, you've got to drive through a windy narrow lane. the ride was made all the more thrilling with kieran basically driving without a care of the world, or our safety and hearts. haha. suppose he's just so used to it already.

unlike what you guys think, there wasn't $ involved. the half of the table that dropped out first get to do 50 push ups. that's all. i was the 3rd dropout. out of 8. so i did 25 crunches and hao-e did 25 push ups for me. heh.. teamwork mah..

the rest of the group was pretty nice. nicole (bermudian) made brownies, joel and hanna (canadian) brought after-eights, micah and danielle (american) made choc chip cookies and we brought ice-cream (which we bought on the way to kieran's house...). most of us were amateurs, i suppose only joel, hao-e and kieran had some poker skills. the rest of us were just trying to have some fun on this wet saturday.

the oven is actually working, but i need to find some baking trays to try some serous roasting/basting/broiling/baking (yikes! i know my sis will prob be v surprised given my lacklustre dessert baking talent). gotta to find some affordable baking ware next week!!!

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
