And she's the reason Part I

And she's the reason Part I

GAAA it's 1.20am and i am still up to update my blog. No choice, if i dont do it i will forget and i dont want to miss out the juicy stuff haha. I will leave my outing experience at Holland Village with Fizah and the gang to part 2 of the post.

Went out with Yanhong and Vixson today to Orchard. We couldnt find Cineleisure at all lol i noe how the building looks like but it just vanish. I haven been to Orchard for a very long time, rusty memory. I was kinda annoyed tat i couldnt locate Cineleisure despite it being a tall and big building. It's like an icon in Orchard and i still cant find it. Yanhong kept asking me to ask someone when i dont want to ask cuz its embarressing, and i was feeling so sweaty and hot from the heat outside so i dont really care much about where we wanna go next. I just want to go to any place with air-con tats all. Yanhong bought his lego toys and we ate a bit at KFC. Walked around and stroll along in some of the malls. Wasnt in the shopping spree cuz i already busted my budget quota for the month, BURST LIKE HELL! But thank god tuition pay is already here. I need to rush home for my reunion dinner and i tink mum gave me 2 miss call which i never notice. Even though i rush back home after tat, they haven start yet cuz my parents were dilly dallying haha. Love the steamed fish that my dad cooked. He is an even better cook than my mum haha. End of first half of my Chinese New Year eve event with Yanhong and Vixson. And unexpected second half from my mum, lol.

I got a call halfway on the bus when i was coming back home. Weiming called me to play mahjong but i dont have the feeling so i had to come up with a white lie to push him away. Vixson was there and he gave me the "hor hor you are lying" cheeky look, lol. True wat, i dont want to play and dont feel like playing so dont play lor. I haven play with Weiming they all for a long time le so it feels awkward to play with them suddenly. Somemore they are all so experts, i will surely be slaughtered at the mahjong table lor haha. THEN, after my reunion dinner, mum realised tat both my dad and my aunt didnt go out to play mahjong. So she decided to cook up one herself and i was like thinking to myself: Mum wants to play mahjong, GG liao lor haha. I was about to play my Flyff and train during the 1.5x EXP event which i am looking forward to it for a very long time. But mum seems keen to play and she hasnt play mahjong for a long time. I dont want to disappoint her so i agreed to play with her. So off she goes rallying my aunt and cousin to play with her. She seems really happy. And yah i feel equally guilty of neglecting her needs so many times, and i am still feeling guilty for thinking about how it jeapordizes my plan for the evening. Today is Chinese New Year eve, i shouldnt be tat selfish. I realise tat i should spend more time with my family since i am always preoccupied with my own stuff most of the time. And so mahjong showdown begins:

Round 1

Mum owned the starting round with a Zi Mo 5 tai. GG to all of us in the beginning, $6.40 each so tats a total of $19.20 in the pocket. Btw we all started off with $20 chips each. Soon after it was my turn to do the Zi Mo 5 tai lol. My aunt and cousin were like sian already from the $6.40 blows in just the beginning of the round. Then, my aunt started it again with Zi Mo 4 tai $3.20 each. Slightly lesser but if you were to notice by now, in just the East round my cousin had lost 75% of the starting chips already haha. After the complete finish of Round 1, my cousin had like negative income and had to borrow from her mum. It was like a 2V1 session: Me and my mum versus my aunt. My cousin got KO-ed at around the South round lol, guess how intense the battle was haha. Handicapped round. Ended at 8.30pm and i won a bit there. I want to stop but mum wants more. Cousin gave the sian look haha.

Round 2

I was beginning to pick up the roll. The dice was stuck at my position for quite a while cuz i keep having straight continuous wins. My aunt was starting to have a difficult time coping with my cousin's losses and winnings from both me and my mum. She was really stress and got to borrow $5 chips from me to tide off. She is very good at managing finance and she was like "i own you XX amount so i pay you this and still own you X amount" and to my cousin "you still own me XX amount ah so i will deduct from your winnings blah blah" lol. It was like confusing with all the owning here and there cuz apparently, $20 baseline chip wasnt enough lol. My cousin had a bit of ups but went downhill after that. Round 2 was the longest and we ended at 11pm. The 3 of us were all so exhausted cept for Mum. We all know that she is keen on for a 3rd. I know i know, oh my god. But it's once in a while we do something to please my mum. I just want to make her happy too. There goes my chance to come online at 11pm haha. Cousin gave the double sian, REALLY SIAN look.

Round 3

Honestly i dont want round 3 cuz firstly, i was tired. Secondly, i was feeling really bad for winning so much from my aunt and cousin. I was literally slaughtering again at this final round. I had another Zi Mo 5 tai. My cousin almost puked blood. My aunt got to borrow chips from me again. She was already quite broke at the second round and i got to Zi Mo again. Overall my experience at third round was feeling really embarressed from winning, guilty and elated haha. I am really happy to win a lot but i feel really bad from winning money from relatives. It's like...relatives leh and i still dare to win so much. Argh! But after i thought about how much i spent on my clothes, $132 on FOX! OMG DONT CARE! I need to recouperate my loss! Overall i won about $50 dollars, mum won about $12. Yah from a game of 20 cent 40 cent i can win to around $50 bucks. Surprising eh. I guess i am just on lucky streak today.

So during my mahjong session i have got smses from Yanhong asking me to come online, Chee keong asking me for a reunion dota and a lot of Happy CNY smses from my friends. Thanks a lot but i dont have time to reply back to all. I love you all but for now, i need to spend more time with my family. Even though 2009 is a tough year on our economy, it thought us about the importance of kinship and strengthen our bonds. Mum might be a stubborn ox, but she is the only stubborn ox who can stand up to all my nonsenses haha. I need to stand up to her nonsense once in a while right =P

And somehow, i just dont want to spend my CNY alone this year at home playing my game, or studying my notes, or going out partying. I just feel like rotting my brain at home this year. It's like if i just found back the feeling of how a home really feels like rather than just a place for me to stay in. Yes, my home is my sanctuary.

2.40am now, i am so tired. But they said that if u were to stay up longer during Chinese New Year eve, you get to increase the longevity for your parents. Yah, a few eye bags are worth the time staying up to see my parents living longer with me haha.

Hmm maybe i should invite ppl to my house to play Mahjong or Blackjack....end of Part I *yawnz*
