Third time's the charm?

The people who know me well may be aware of the fact that i had created blogs in the past, only to post a few posts and then abandon them. Well, here's hoping that this one will be a keeper.

Woke up early today, actually i hardly slept after waking up at 2 in the morning having fallen asleep at 11. Got dressed and headed down a very smooth flowing Federal Highway to Monash. Sat at a computer on the ground floor of the library and tried to log into my blackboard but it was blocked! Wtf, must be because i have an outstanding fine of 200 bucks for late enrolment. Screw you, as if fees aren't enough. 200 would just be the tip of the enormous cash iceberg Monash has.

Soon, i received an sms from Cristine whom i invited over to have a group study session. Didn't really expect her to come as it was a freaking Saturday morning, but i'm really glad she did. First time actually speaking to her in person as i just met her at Aladdin a couple weeks back. Yeah, a girl who plays Dota and looks good as well. Pardon my prejudice. Suffice to say that i've been proven wrong once more. A very sweet and intelligent girl i might add. We ended up playing pet society and restaurant city(which i'm currently hooked to) most of the time as most group study sessions end up.

Then headed down to Angie's to get my hair cut. And as usual she would talk to me about my ex as she was the one who brought me there in the first place. She told me that my ex was there the day before and that she asked her the reason for our breaking up. What really got me laughing was when she told me she actually called my ex 'hen sui', which means very heartless? And she was very quiet unlike her usual self always trying to entertain me with her philosophies. The irony being that we had made a bet the last time i was there on whether it would rain, the wager being if i won she would dye my hair for free and if she did i would have to talk to her more. And it seemed that everytime i go there she is charging me cheaper? From 50 to 45 and now 40? Thanks Angie. You aren't just the best hairdresser but a great friend.

Anyway, attended Judson's 21st on Thursday at his place in Kajang after dinner with Vernon at our usual place. One of my few remaining brothers in KL whom i can tell anything to, we don't hang out as often as when Alex was around. Then, a very long drive to Kajang but birthdays are a must to attend. They had catering with a good variety of food and tons of the famous Kajang Satay which i gobbled only several sticks as i was full. After the formalities, we then started our usual poker session. Everyone expected me to play like the aggressive bull i was the last time and make a bluff on every opportunity but i did the exact opposite playing really tight. Needless to say it paid off pretty well.

On Friday night went for dinner and stand up comedy by Douglas Lim, one of the cast of Kopitiam from way back at Lake Club. Events at the club would always mean a chance to rub shoulders with Datuks and foreigners which is fun. Everybody is always very warm and friendly. I will admit that it was not as funny as i expected it to be but funny enough. He made a lot of jokes on race, government servants, Singaporeans, the situation in Perak, Chua Soi Lek, Amber Chia and Najib.







The final and presumably the punchline of the night was a joke about how he wished he could be Najib not because he had all that power, but because he could drive his car on Jalan Tun Razak at 20km/h while going left, right, left and right again until somebody would drive up next to his car, unwind the window, and scream, "Your father's road ah?".
