Last week of CNY

So CNY is gonna be over soon..
Lo Hei until hands tired recently..
But something seems to be lacking..
I think had not played alot of mahjong..
I have also quit betting soccer (but will resume at World Cup?)..
So Huat so much at Lo Hei for??
Then again..storing my luck for a better cause seems like a good idea..
The better cause being this Fri's $10m Toto of course..
Was at Red Dot Brewhouse with Mitch when the waitress gave us 2 pieces of paper for a Bingo game..
1 flew away..
There is 1 left..it has a lot of numbers..
but only 7 qualify for Toto..
And so the 7 numbers it was..
With of course a lot of other numbers (you can't only buy 1 system 7 for a $10m draw right)..
Hope is high as usual..
Holidays come to mind..
Lotsa material benefits start flowing in..
But it is too early to say..
It will all be decided this Friday..
I won't be at the Toto draw..
I will be at Pump Room cheering with beer to my win..

Watch this space..

Ushering in the Chinese New Year

Everybody is getting into the Chinese New Year mood..
Evidence??

I am going to have my 3rd mahjong session with my colleagues this week tonight..
The casino is opening on Sunday..
And of cos..what better way to usher in the new year than spend time at Lunar!!
Right?? no??

There is Ah Dong who looks like Ah Nan or Roger from KPMG (for ppl who know him)..
Other girl singers (was it Qiqi?) who don't look very young..
Alex who I think sang ONE song..
Pole dancers who need more effort, even though some are pretty..
But what is amazing is the clientele in Lunar..
Old guys with young girls..
Group of mature (old?) girls with killer moves in dancing..
Lonely girls with a group of guys and yet no guys want to entertain them and rather do their own killer moves..

But where was the CNY extravaganza (choreographed dance) performance?
Maybe we left too early for Pump room..
Where the Bah Poh is there..with much longer hair and more feminine..
Where they sang Retro songs to good effect..
Where the phrase "liquor before beer, never sicker" comes to mind..
We couldn't even finish half a pint of beer..

Ended the day with a disturbing cab driver..
Who kept talking to me after mitch went off and when I really needed a sleep..
He said I need to buff myself up cos I am small size and have a baby face..
When I got off the cab he even opened the door and gave me 2 clenched fists with conviction to say I must buff up..
But I forgive him for his weirdness..
Only because..

He said mitch is beautiful and I am handsome so we are a good looking couple..
