Reflections

Today marks the start of the 2nd half of the year..
So what has made an impact in my life so far?

1. Made the landmark decision to stop betting on soccer (EPL etc.), after betting since JC. Only bet when I am going to catch the match or something. Which actually means I am betting on all world cup matches so far (4 years once leh). However, after the world cup, I probably won't be.

2. Learnt that it is hard to win money at a casino. Lesson learnt in Melbourne.

3. Learnt that there is a well known phrase "yuan de bu neng na", which means round one cannot take, which when spoken also means something in Indian (can somebody tell me?).

4. Learnt that other people in other countries (e.g. Australia) also have issues against people mentioned in point 3 above.

5. Learnt that it is actually quite shiok to have a tv screen on my left and a computer screen on my right (only for the world cup as I paid for it). Ok it is more than quite shiok.

6. Overcame my phobia of wine (since DND 2008). Drank all sorts of wine recently, in Melbourne and Singapore.

7. Enjoyed the high life with a stay at St.Regis, buffet lunch at Raffles Hotel etc.

8. Realised that I can never enjoy foot massage / body massage, as I am not meaty enough.

9. Learnt that there is someone who snores in a toilet cubical around lunch time. Talk about being tactical. If I encounter it the third time, I am gonna slam the cubical door beside to scare him.

10. Learnt that I can actually appreciate plays/musicals. Boeing Boeing next?

Ok, maybe some things above have negligible impact. But I didn't say how much of an impact, did I?
