woof woof

This year’s CNY celebration started off slow and fairly mellow but picked up quite a few notches towards the end. Left for ‘kampung’ in the early wee hours of CNY eve, straight after the usual Fri salsa session. Thankfully a friend had offered to drive so I could snooze with my pooches in the back. I must confess that I’m no good for nite driving – I tend to get sleepy and have trouble keeping my eyes open…how horrific! It was a good call to start the journey at those wee hours cos the roads were blissfully traffic-jam-free.

Back in Melaka, all I did was pigging and snoozing. OMG – I don’t remember eating and sleeping so much for the longest time. The latter was kinda a good thing – resting to recover all the lack of sleep that had accumulated over the weeks before. But the combination with the former was not a good thing – I had started to feel fat. Ok I think some ppl would want to shoot me for saying that. But I truly felt the waistline expanding. Ugh!

Then the ‘prosperity sessions’ started. It began with a session with the aunts. Luck unfortunately wasn’t too fantastic. And worse still, it followed me back to KL. I think I had only been a teeny bit lucky once and that was also only becos I ‘rode’ on someone else’s cards. I was pretty sure that if I had played them myself, it would’ve been a lost cause. Sigh…

Oh but this year I had learned to play mahjong properly, ie. involving counting the points, hence, there was a need for good strategy. It’s so fun! *beam* With just a few days left for the CNY celeb, I can’t wait to play more mahjong! Hehe.
