[040206] 3 houses, 2 gambling stints and 1 very long day

7th day of the Lunar New Year liaoz.. and 2 weeks away from semestral exams... im having it good.. with my 2 papers spread out and seperated by one week.. more time to slac... i mean study.. yep.. study... anyways, yesterday quite a busy day.. went to Ke Hin's place, Richard's place, lao yu sheng and then to Shi Qin's place...

Supposed to meet ppl at OCBC to lead them to Hin's place.. but in the end only Lulu came and met me... sianz... haha... Pasta, pizza and KFC was served at his place.. thank you Ke Hin for being such a gracious host.. haha.. sorry about the chilli flakes on the floor.. it was all Lulu's fault.. she made me laugh.. stupid girl... yesterday kept on laughing and laughing, must have been high on something.. JJ, YF, ES, LQ and R also came.. and met up with some juniors of mine (Hin's Squadmates)... in the end, the entire housed packed.. darn noisy..

Left soon after lunch.. (oops.. heh.. free lunch was good) to head over to Richard's place.. i turned out to be the earliest and straight away.. Carlsberg was offered.. didnt really like beer but not good to reject so opened it and started to chat while im wolfing down pineapple tarts to get rid of the beer aftertaste... drank the beer down pretty quickly...

Richard: "Damian, so fast ah? another one?"
ME: "No thanks, i dun really like to drink beer... usually i drink shooters or mix."
Richard: "Can can.. come come, i prepare for you screwdriver."

He then proceeds to pour a screwdriver with a extremely generous dose of absolute vodka.

oh boy.. and boy was the taste strong as well.. haha.. oh well.. not good to decline so started to drink again... had a chat with him about how being able to hold ur liquor help in the working world or any other place for that matter... then had a chat with him over my plans to sign on as a regular and he offered some insights and advice him being an ex-regular and stuff in the army... he gave me some new points to ponder over and reinforced some worries that i already had especially on the point of what if the SAF dont offer me the second term contract.. what can i do when im 31 and 10 years in the army count for nothing on my resume in the commercial world? Another set of questions and worries to think about... i'll worry about the coming exams first can get it over with first.. 1 problem at a time...

Terence soon came along and started chatting again followed by Kel, Keegan, Kenn, Janice, Keith, Dennis, Hendrick and Zaid.. haha.. and with Richard's wifey's friends, his house turned into quite a gambling den.. haha.. started playing cards and stuff and it was great to catch up with the lads.. a really great time.. rushed off to yishun again after hitching a ride to meet JJ and gang for dinner and lao-ing of yu sheng... haha.. in the end didnt lao any.. bo liao lah i think.. anyways long story cut short, ended the night playing majong at SQ's place.. lost a bit.. haha.. and reached home ard 0130 hrs.. totally knocked out man.. shagged.. anyways.. gotta rush off to meet QH, supposed to meet at 1300 but now already 1245.. better hurry or the 2LTA charge me.. lol
