Mahjong Blues

GOSH!!!

Mahjong is everything about luck and seating arrangement. I can't believe my own luck!! Nan Feng. Guess what? I was sitting in front of some undergarments, socks and towels. And throughout the whole night, when I was playing, I couldn't game big. Guess i only won 2 or 3 times. And all of them were small. Many a times, when I was already waiting to game big, someone will just game!! And they will game small. GOSHHHH. Moreover, I made many mistakes such as throwing the wrong tile which prevented me from gaming, not taking tile after taking a flower. And these errors were done when I could game big. @R%#$^$#&$%&$#*%^

The most most most irritating thing was...

I decided to play small and any how play with one flower since I was the "zhuang". So, I did anyhow play but through out the game, I took more and more flower until I had 4 tai. BY THEN I WAS ONLY WAITING FOR MY EYE which was a "dong" and nobody will throw. When it was about the last few tiles, I decided to change to "bei" and discard my "dong". Then I drew the second last tile and I got a flower. o_O AND WHEN I TOOK THE TILE FOR THE FLOWER, GUESS WHAT TILE I DREW. I couldn't believe my luck!!!!! GOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I DREW A "DONG". Which equates to "hua shang" and "hai di lao yue". In all, I could have won 5 tai plus self draw = $9.60. :(

And after 1 round, I lost $5.60 in total due to this unbelievable luck.

So, in future, do not sit in front of undergarments, socks and towels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUCK IS EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS ABOUT LUCK.

After Eons...

Finally going to type something after a long long long long absence of not typing anything. Was just too preoccupied in studying for exams and slacking during the holidays. Though the semester has already started, why am i here blogging? I'm just taking a break from studying, though i just started like 15mins ago. This semester is definitely the most killer semester I ever had. 5 day week. Monday 10-12 2-4, Tuesday 12-6, Wednesday 9-12 2-4, Thursday 12-6, Friday 12-2 4-6. Its really non stop action every week. Well, the advantage of this is that, at the end of the whole semester, I will only be having 3 PAPERS instead of the usual 5 which I had been having. Taking Understanding the Universe and one experimental module, both of which are non examinable. Good in the sense that I have no exams to worry at the end of the whole semester, bad because I have to put in the effort week in week out.

Guess what! I kind of like Understanding the Universe. I have learn what is a solar and sidereal day, a tropical and sidereal year, sidereal and synodic month, how the calendar is the way it is, how the days have gotten their names, stars and their constellations. On top of which, we learnt about eclipses and the most cool thing is that THIS COMING MONDAY (CNY DAY 1), THERE WILL BE A PARTIAL ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE!!! AND YES!!! YOU CAN VIEW IT IN SINGAPORE!!!! wowwwwww. I guess not many people will bother to notice it as they will be all busy visiting.

CNY again, ever since my grandma passed away, my CNY sort of changed. Moreover, as you grow older and the elderly passes on, there seems to be lesser places for you to visit. Kind of getting boring for me. Sigh. But i don't mind visiting my friends or even have a gathering or sorts. I think my house will be open as usual. But doubt many people will read this post though.

This semester isn't a good one. Many things have happened and I'm kind of sad that it happened till what it is now. I do not know how to express myself but I think only a few people know about it. Can't imagine that human relationships are so fragile. Guess they really mean it when they say that relationships are up to the people to maintain it and make it good. But I seriously don't know how did things happen till the way they are now. If i could, I would never ever want this thing to happen. But i guess, it's now too late. It's hard to recover lost things. :(

On a lighter note, I have been practising for Blast's Exon Mobile Campus Concert, and I'm kind of glad I am back in Elson's item. Fast. Strong. Sharp. Energy packed. Stamina draining. Kind of dread and glad I'm in the item. I think it really improves my dancing! Will be choreoing an item and dancing in 3 items in all for TH Dance Productions. SO BUY TICKETS FROM ME AND SUPPORT ME!!! :) Really stressed out about it because I don't know how my item will turn out but lucky I'm collaborating with Huiyi. It should turn out good i hope.

Other than dancing, I have been studying and catching up with my work for these past days. Yes, I know it's only the second week of the semester, but I want to be up to date with the current lectures and start understanding them when I attend them. It's been good up till now. Though, I'm quite tired by sleeping late everyday, but I will ENDURE!! I really need motivation and pushing. BUT ALL THESE IS FOR MY CAP!! I really want to understand my modules and get ready to go Toronto. Many people have been telling me to go for it and it is really a good chance to expose myself to a new environment (which i clearly need). My parents were telling me not to go because it will be very cold. Haha. But i guess they will be supportive of me. So I should just go and put away unhappy stuff! Yay!

Alright, I should stop this super long post. >.<
