CNY Gathering(s)

Unfortunately, because of work and stuff, only yesterday I managed to go to my first open house for Chinese New Year.
First up, Jason Too's house. I left the house at 2.20, had the GPS with me, and left.
First, the GPS told me to go by highway. I told myself, no way! I'm not paying toll!
Then, the GPS told me to go the town way. It made me take one whole big round. And later, I encountered traffic. Severe traffic. I saw stationary cars for 15 mins. Then, I knew it was better to turn back.
So I just turned back, went the Bukit Chedang road instead. Finally the GPS told me something good.
I knew where I was going. I only managed to save as near as Jalan Tok Ungku in my GPS.
Reached the road, and thought that I got lost. Called Jason, i understood what he said, but had no idea where to go still. Then I turned back.
Suddenly, I realised that I took this road sending my brother home from school a few times before.
Then ugh... I U-turned back to Jalan Tok Ungku again.
Things looked more familiar, and I eventually found my way to his house. Easier than I assumed though.

Reached the house, things felt awkward at first.
Went into the house, there was this girl who brought me in. I didn't know who she was that time.
Went to a table, and i got a shock looking at the huge stakes in the gambling. Ahhh! I wouldn't gamble with that much money.
I spent a lot of time watching people gamble.
I did play blackjack for a while. Lost 7 bucks in the process. Ugh...
And soon, got RM10 in ang pow money from Jason's mother. That's HUGE for my standards!
So, 3 bucks profit from Jason's house. Not bad :D.
I was playing the PS3 most of the time. FIFA10!
Won all the matches I played :D
First up, one guy named 'Jared'? played with an Indian guy, whoever he is.
After 60 game mins, Jared "Liverpool" was down 4-1 against MU.
I replaced him and won 5-4 after extra time. How sweet is that? :D
Then played solo with Jared, won 4-1. I pity him.
I played using MU after, teaming up with Bernard and another guy, against 2 others. It was crazy fun!
We won again, and I scored a freekick! First time in FIFA10 PS3 history!
But I was laughing mostly at Mei Lin when she looked reaction-less when Bernard and all were celebrating the victory. :P

Went to McDonalds later. Just before leaving, then only I knew that the girl was Jason Too's sister. Took so long for me to know!
Then at McDonalds, Diane asked whether I was Jason Too's age. (Do I look 16?!?!?) :P
Once she knew my age, I heard a lot of Do you knows - "Do you know Kumuta?", "D y k Geraldine?", "Jasmine?", "Jane?" :P
She was complementing them. I genuinely think they're nice people too.
During then, I was tempting Eu-Kynn with my Chocolate Sunday. Real funny. :D
Drove to Eu-Kynn's house after, wanted to be there just for a while.
Reached there, and there were way too many people enthusiastic with a near empty aquarium. Wonder why.
And soon, the guys managed to tempt me to play Poker!
My first hand I think, I slowly went all in. First time and I might not play again! And I ended up winning. About RM65 in winnings I got just for that hand. I won just 2 hands overall, still escaped with a RM18.50 profit at the end of it (I banked in RM10).
That's the beauty of Texas Hold'em Poker. Won 2 hands, lost maybe 100+ hands, yet still got profit :D
Got another RM10 in ang pow money, which was good. :D

And the next day - back to work.
Felt really tired.
I got scolded by a co-owner of Coffee Mug for not noticing a customer at an outside table. Gah... wrong place wrong time. Was too concentrated to my Sudoku. When I have a rhythm, I always concentrate hard to solve one as quick as I can.
I've been working 15-20 mins overtime almost every day. I still love my job.
The co-owner saw that. And still was happy with my dedication to the job, despite some mishaps.
Feels good to let everything out on my blog.
Feeling much better now.
Although it sucks being a Wigan fan at this point.
Still...
