*Phew* It has been a really busy weekend. Had like a marathon of house visiting going on, with a couple more to go this coming Saturday. As per tradition, we take turns to visit each other's houses during CNY. And AS USUAL, every visit is dominated by gambling.
After reading Calvin's blog, I feel that I should dedicate an entry or two to our little (actually not that little) gambling stints. Cal, you really should rename your blog to "Calvin's Gambling Blog". Then the next day we'll see you sporting a nice, shiny bald head. :P
How to celebrate Chinese New Year (according to our group)
1.Enter house.
2. Say "Gong Xi Fa Cai/Happy New Year".
3. Eat for 30 minutes.
4. Gamble for 5 hours.
*Sigh* Happy, happy days. :)
1/2/2006 – Wednesday - Prequel Session at My Place
Andrew, Calvin, Lawrence (Cal's little brother), Meng Lee and Xian-Nian dropped by my apartment. For some weird reason, I can NEVER win when playing in my own home. Meng Lee robbed us of a grand total of RM320 that night. *Vomits blood* Only Xian-Nian escaped unscathed, with nett winnings of RM1 (better than nothing, or worse, losing) because he was smart enough to go home early...
From that day on, My apartment was labelled "House 320 a.k.a. Leng Hui's House".
3/2/2006 - Friday - Meng Lee's House
A meeting of 5 generations of prefects under one roof - Us (the patriarchs and matriarchs), Vee Hong, Lawrence, Meng Lee's sisters and their prefect friends.
Looking at our juniors, it occurred to me that we really are GROWING OLD. We're gonna be 21 this year, and already I can see the difference between us as our prefect juniors. It has come to a point that when I look at them, I can actually tell that they're in secondary school, and they're much younger than us. I compared some of our old school pictures with more recent ones, and my goodness, we've aged but haven't realised it! Back in form 2, Andrew and Vee Han were SHORTER than me. And in form 5, although that was just slightly over 3 years ago, back then our faces were smoother, less angular and mature, in short, younger.
Time really flies.
Another difference I noticed is that our bets have been growing larger as the years go by. Gone are the days of "50 sen per round of Black Jack" or "10 sen per card in Chor Tai Ti". Wonder how it will be when we start working. :P
Each of us have our distinct gambling styles. Sometimes it's so hilarious to poke fun at them. The following styles apply particularly to Black Jack:
The "CALVIN" - Win already RM10, next round play RM1.
The "VEE HAN" - 16 also pull card.
The "ANDREW" - Plays 2-2 (i.e. places 2 separate bets, RM2 each).
The "LENG HUI" - Quick and efficient. Takes card and looks at it straightaway.
The "SENG KIAT" - Uh... what's your style ah?:P:P
And last but not least, The "MENG LEE"
- Takes card, covers it with a previous card
- KISSES card *Damn serious face*
- Brings card closer to his face, slowly, slowly, slowly, SLOWLY slides the card open, millimetre by millimetre
*Everyone goes for toilet break*
- Everyone comes back, he's still sliding the card open
- Slowly, Slowly......*sweat dripping already*
- Throws card on table and announces the result.
And there you have it. Part 1 of the CNY Update.

Some of you may be wondering what is this picture here. It may look like an innocent, juicy mandarin orange, but DO NOT BE FOOLED! Stay tuned for the "TALE OF THE DREADED POOL", coming up next!
