Mahjong
Last night I play mahjong , Singapore style...and 4 rounds ...never win a game. So difficult to hu (complete) , with rules different from Malaysian style which has more of the luck element and it has the fei.
But, I 300, never say die. I will 发 愤 图 强, shit , then paste the wall.
Singaporean Mahjong..here I come.
What's different..
The eye is a dragon or your wind, if you got ping hu cannot count as ping hu.
they don't play li ku li ku. (double tiled)
they don't play heavenly gate , (1,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,9,9)
No flower , is not pao.
if you ka long, cannot ping hu..i think this is the same.

Buy Tissue
Tissue peddlers are a normal scene in Singapore. They scoured food courts , food places for lunchers, diners without tissue, and they will approach you politely, " Mr/Miss, 3 packets tissue for 1 dollar".
Some will decline, but most will buy seeing an old lady or anold man peddling it. Some will even, beg pitifully to ask you to help after you decline the first time.n
However, today I encounter a new one, when I was lunching with my colleagues. A young man, dress shabbily in a t-shirt, with short pull up high, tucked in approach my lady colleague...showed her 4 packets of tissue.
"小 姐 , 帮 我 买 面 纸 , 4 包 2 块, 我 是 神 经 病 的 !"
"Lady, help me buy 4 packets of tissue for 2 dollars , I am a lunatic"
We politely refused, and he left to the next table.
2 dollars for 4, I think we are shen jing ping to buy.
and he does not look shen jing ping lor.

Amazoned
I've been amazoned. Advocated by my good friend , the deranged cow, the loyalist to the Amazon jungle. He likes that jungle.
Truth is I'm trying to get a book which wasn't available in the book stores. This book which missey sauvignon b swore by to be the most accurate predictions ever.
Call me superticious, I think most of us are, to a certain extent. These meta physics intrigue me. I don't believe them until I run throught a number of test cases. And this proven to be the far most accurate so far, at least 80%.
I am now anxiously awating my maiden purchase shipped, now thanking missey sauvignon b and the COW.
They emailed me saying its already shipped...:)

Fairy Tales...do you believe ?
I caught Enchanted last weekend, it's really entertaining, well another feel good movie. Some of my friends are facing problems, sadness, unhappiness, harsh reality to really truly believe there is such thing as happily ever after.
Carrie is right to say it would only exist if you believe. thats the "Secret". Much mumbo jumbo the book has but it works. You are what you believe. Dalai Lama believes true happiness only has two pillars, compassion and altrusim. I would like to add though, cause it does not ends there. To be happy, a person needs to look ahead and be positive. Do not let unhappy events or bad emotions hold you back, spiralling down to dark limbo.
How to do that when your problems does not end ? take time off and do things that makes you happy. Many would say "easier said than that"...Definitely hard. But do try...you got nothing to lose.
Secret is the Law of Attraction. You attracts what is constantly in your thoughts.
