Oh, you're sucha Badass

Alright, I'm back by popular demand! Nope screw that, I'm just kidding.

I haven't touched this for a couple of months if I'm not wrong, so maybe I should continue doing since I'm quite free these days(not that I've nothing to do, just that I'm not doing them). Apologies to my buddy taggers, I'll start blogging again, but for how long I'm really not sure. I wondered if I lost the writing touch after such donkey years, err... okay, months.

I'm just gonna start with some recent issues, oh yes, Darren's birthday chalet. The food was pretty good, pasta with mushroom and tomotoes, some mini tomato salad and so on. Darren was the only person I really know there since the others are his class and girlfriend but there wasn't much problem having fun.

I learnt how to play texas poker, pretty exciting. Oh, actually there were some guys that I've seen before when went to his girlfriend's barbeque back then. There's this magician guy I met last time who was here this time too. He's a friendly guy, helped Darren entertain the guests with his card and balloon tricks for free where he's paid 500 on average per event. This time round, he made himself an even cooler shit by bringing the texas poker set with chips and all. I watched the guys play for a while and joined in later on because WHO THE HELL CAN RESIST SWEEPING IN THE CHIPS LIKE HOW CHOW YUN FAT DID IN GOD OF GAMBLERS?


I think we just lacked the table, blazer, table, hair, money and the cigar that night. Besides that, atmosphere was present especially for me, a beginner. There was once when I sweeped in alot of chips and the feeling was like whoa, as if you're starring in God of Gamblers III. Overall, I lost quite a bit that night but well, at least I do know that's something I can't count on for a living. Just once in a while for the fun and thrill of it. Anyway, I heard that the magician guy have a gambling problem, losing like more than a thousand in one night. Hope he realizes it soon before it wreck him. He even wears this bracelet with all the miniature mahjong tiles arranged to form some big win formation.

Life lessons aside, we played a drinking game called 'Chinaman' more thinking require than 'Indian poker'. How it goes, two decks are mixed and shuffled and every one in the ring will be issued a card one by one in one direction. When the person gets a black(club/spades) number card, say 4 spades, he/she drinks 4 shots. Red(diamond/hearts) cards gives the power to issue some one to drink the number of shots as reflected on the card. But there are a few special cards, like any 6 is the toilet card, because no one is allowed to the toilet before the deck runs out. 7 is the 7-up card where the person will count in one direction and those who comes to mutiples of 7 should say up instead of the number. Any one who screwed up the flow will drink. There's also 2 more special cards which I've forgotten what the number is but one is the thumb card and the other is the rule card. The action card is pretty dumb, the person with the card will place his/her thumb on the cheek at any point of the game and the last to follow will drink. The rule card is fun because the person can lay rules applicable to everyone including himself throughout the game. Rules can be anything for instance no addressing by name, no pointing, no saying the word 'drink', no hokkien vulgarities, no fuck or the penatly is to drink a shot. Well, you may think it's easy to avoid now but during the game, but halfway through the game, you're a little tipsy and will start calling the person's name(first offence) while pointing(second offfence) at him/her, asking him/her to drink(third offence) and swearing(fourth offence) at him/her. For example...

Darren: Wah fuck, kena spade 10.

MrJack: *points* Ah... fuck it and drink, Darren.

Holy, the short line and action earns yourself four shots.

Oh anyway, I missed out the pictures. When someone opens his/her card and it shows Jack, everyone must shout 'Hey Jack!' and for Queen, 'Hey bitch!' the lagger or day-dreamer drinks. Lastly, the lucky fellow that gets a collection of any four kings will have a powerhouse forfeit which I couldn't really remember, but something to do with drinking. Well, try it out with your friends over some hard liquor, it's fun.

Two days ago, I bunked over at Darren's to help him fix his comp. We became so bored and started gambling all kinds of shit. It's funny how no one actually won after a whole night of gambling because we started with coins, lost all of them, broke a note, won them back and loses it back again soon. So the whole night, we were just like playing cards and exchange five bucks worth of coins with a one-dollar coin and two two-dollars note. We had a little bit of beer and I think we're really badasses because during one of the hokkien poker games, we were making the last bet before opening the last card and like in any other gamling motion picture, the air was still and cold, there was pin-drop silence, the two opponents stared at one another including the huge pile of chips in front of them, as though they're ready to pounce. And as we were flipping over the last card, the silence was shattered by a sharp wail of the police siren. Whoa, what drama we thought. The senario fits in really well, cards, money, beer and we thought we gonna get arrested soon for being real badasses.

Alright, full stop
