Utterly devastated yet happy

Just finished a game of mahjong with my khakis; lost $23 bucks under 9 hours which works out to less than $3 per hour. I simply love mahjong, it is essentially the cheapest activity (depending on the bets) I can ever share with these bunch of friends whom I have known for 11 years. Yes, yes, more than decade; I so do not need to count the years.

Mahjong is the time where we can all bitch (my favorite activity which I pursue 24/7) and catch up on all those lost times. Stevie had just completed his exams today, Jos won't be starting till 30th May, while Kiyo is granted off for the next 2 days in preparation for his SATs. I do not recall having two (2!) days off for test preparation in my N.S. days, which makes me think that Kiyo either a) seduce his superiors or b)it's the elections nearing that prompted the kindness or c)I had a terrible superior (who happens to be one of my best bitching buddy today) or d)time have indeed really changed.

Anyway, I am always grateful and amazed at how much information can be exchanged within those rounds of 'PONG' and 'CHI' , and that most probably after 2.30 am. as Jos said, I'd go into this state of raunchiness and sluttiness where I'll literally touch myself when someone 'zi-mo'. Trust me, you so do not need to know the full details.

Obviously, I traded Zouk for the game session cum gossiping, which in my opinion is totally justified and an obviously good, if not perfect, alternative to what would have been a night of waiting aimlessly in line with other kids trying to get into the club, followed by banging head mashing music and terribly expensive drinks.

Arranged with them to try out high-tea at Goodwood Park next Friday (Vesak day) followed by more(!!) Mahjong over at my place. Simply can't wait!
