For the Love of Money

Alrighty, I have much to update here. First of all, my Chinese new year isn’t as boring as it is said below. Last weekend I joined a group of crazy whacky noisy people for a small CNY celebration at Xue Rou’s place. We were all fascinated with the small compartment above at her backyard. It was a small hole in which they allowed their maid to stay in while she was working. Unfortunately, me and Ee Jin didn’t have the opportunity to play hide and seek there. The next highlight last week was also the steamboat at Jinny’s place. It was very much like a “friend-family reunion”. Probably we could reunite again next year? :P. Other than that, the rest of the week was a drag.

I was preparing for the last cell at SS2B on Friday night and I was also worship leading the coming Sunday which is today. First of all, preparing for Friday wasn’t too bad, but wasn’t that easy either. I had sacrificed my WHOLE Friday afternoon for them just to draw them cute faces and write them personal notes. Trust me, drawing and Writing for 25 special people can take up to 3 to 4 hours. But all in all, it was a mediocre night. There weren’t any tears but there were whining. Unfortunately we didn’t take much pictures. But the food was excellent. We had so many things to eat. I really pray that both cells will grow and multiply the following year. Its truly amazing to see growth in all the cell members both spiritually and physically for the past year and a half with them. Though we exceeded our time at the place, I guess it did it well. So, goodbye SS2B, hello SS2C Park. Cool name right? Michelle’s place is Right opposite my school, in front of SS1, SS3, SS2 and Sect 21. We’re like in the core of it all. Curious bout what I’m talking about? Then join us every Friday night at 7, Jalan 21/37 for a small gathering of whacky people just to have fun, make noise and learn about the one we love.

Yesterday, I was over at Jinny’s place in the afternoon just to “play” a few games. Ok, I gambled. Lolz. Though I lost RM9 there, little did I know what was in stored for me later on in the night. Xue Rou too had a gathering again at her place in the night. I seriously was not planning to go considering the fact I was up at 6.30am for tennis till 9 and was out the whole day after that to worship practice at church. I was really tired and needed rest for the next day at church. But after some convincing by Jinny online, I finally agreed to go. Boy, I didn’t regret this decision. Thank You Jinny Baby! Arrived at bout 9.30pm at Xue Rou’s place with Benjoz. We got warmed up and started our game upstairs. Ee Jin, Jo Lin, Jinny, Benjoz, Xue Rou, Miew San, Chupsy and Wei Wen were there plus me were 9 of us. I had lost bout RM10 the first 45 minutes. I was whining the whole way through with Miew San. Jinny had won RM27 at Jackpot and we were all really pissed. We couldn’t take it anymore and turned to In Between for help. Everyone was only winning a little till one round. The Pot was building and building and building till some RM50+ in the Pot. Little did I know that my whining was not in vain. It was my turn and I had 2 and Queen. If you know In Between, it was really good. I can’t explain how excited we all were but it was crazy. We got the Kodak moment on camera. Jinny probably might upload it on his blog, go check it out. After some moment of screams and shouts, I decided to raise the stakes to RM35. And guess what! I won the RM35! Weeee.. A little while after that I had to leave and left with my earnings. I shall not disclose how much I had won that night but it was an awesome feeling. But, that shall be the last time I gamble this year. So, goodbye to gambling till next year!

Well, I guess that’s all I can update for now. I have so much to say but time forbid. So goodnight ya’ll and have a great week ahead!
