Thoughts...and more thoughts. That was what I spent my current holidays on. And no Sheen, I'm not being a spoil sport, having requested to be saved from the Gong Xi onslaught. It's just during all the Chinese New Year celebrations hype. being surrounded by sickening CNY music (yes, that Gong Xi Gong Xi Ni Yat one) really really gets on my nerves.
I think I'm beginning to become a threat at the gambling table. Most people, including my friends would assume that I'm a piece of easy meat. But halt, don't go thinking I would give my angpao so easily, heh. This year's grande total of winnings are ... (drums) - RM3...yes, thats a negative profit. Why am I still being so contented on losing money? Coz we five friends played poker, and stakes are high you know! 50 cents for base and per card, it was good enough that I almost break even and had no losses or profit. It was really exciting to be able to pretend (hence, the name poker face) that you have really godly cards and by raising the stakes, you could force your opponents to give up all the money at the table =).
Waiting for us after gambling was ... ta-da, Dim Sum at 1.30 am! Hehe, ha kao and chicken porridge...totally yummylicious. The best part would probably be that Sean decided to be responsible for the bill, reason being that he is already earning an income. Oh dear, speaking of which...these are friends that I've known for 12 years. It reminds me how lucky I am to have such company (or to be considerably old) even after all those tedious schooling years. And when I backtrack to those times, it almost seemed a short while ago we talked about almost every other fun, crazy and nonsensical stuffs. While everyone is already driving, studying degrees, or working...I really wonder where do I stand. There is this bit inside me that fear growing up, because of the weight to excell as an individual in the light of many people.
But if I don't, I know I wont be able to keep up with all my friends and eventually, lose them forever. Now, we wouldn't want such things to happen right? So cheers to them people, whom I've known since primary...and not to forget me close college friends as well, hehe.
