Mahjong again and again

Just finished playing mahjong with my awesome friends Joanna, Joel and Jin Ming. Its always a fun time when we get together and today wasn't an exception. Though it's true that I feel a tad bad when I win their money, but oh well, it's mahjong and luck eh guys, no hard feelings. :) So today was a good harvest, was losing roughly $60 before I came back with two 6tai zi mos and some ping hus. Joel was nice enough to give me a lift back, so thanks a lot dude! Mahjong at my place next time la, then you won't have to place like 7 parking coupons or something. Hopefully the next time is Monday.

I have been doing nothing with my life recently and it has really been getting to me. I have no idea why but I feel like I am wasting my precious youth. Pretty ironic, this coming after poly, but I'm over that anyway. I think it's partly because of the backpacking trip? It really opened my eyes, and made me want to do something meaningful with the chances I have been given in life. Some people would kill to have the cards life has dealt me, even when it's nothing spectacular. In better news, Joanna has been accepted by NUS's FASS, which I am glad for because its something that she wants. But of course if you get SMU's I'll be even more glad for you. The whole uni thing is being very......... frustrating for me. Seeing my peers flit off towards uni leaves a bittersweet feeling in my mouth. I'm definitely happy that they've embarked on another one of life's journey's, and then I look at where I am; undecided about what I wanna do/study. It just makes me very sad. I'm hoping I'll be able to find an answer to what my heart is asking soon. It is very disturbing to not know.

Okay I think I've vomited the emo parts. Here's the happy parts. We stayed over at Dawn's place on Thursday. I was super looking forward to it and ALMOST didn't go because I started feeling sickish and my nose was dripping like a leaky faucet. However, I'm glad I did make it for the stayover. It was just very good, easy going and comfortable company. We didn't even do much except slack around, chat, and watch a movie: Taken. It wasn't too bad, quite sad at parts, especially the human trafficking scenes. Pretty hard breaking, the sacrifices some people are forced to make. We had supper at the coffeeshop outside Dawn's place because a few of us were hungry. Joanna got cheated by Lucy into ordering a muturbak which I ended up finishing. At this rate I'm really gonna get a belly! HAHA. Alicia, Jo, Dawn and I slept on the cold hard parquet floor. Poor Dawn got evicted from her own bed. As a result, we all woke up with aching backs and once Lucy went to the toilet, Dawn and I pounced onto the bed. HAHAHA that slut Joanna went up without telling us.

Was supposed to meet Alicia (who left earlier with Lucy) at 3pm to go down to starhub at TM for an interview but I woke up at 2.40pm and so we arranged to meet at 4.30 instead. Ended up meeting her at 5. Hahahaha, so we went down and guess what? The manager wasn't there. Sheesh. So Jasmine said she'll let us know when to come down again. I'm pretty excited about the job, partly because I haven't worked for 3 years (I do not consider my tuition teaching to be a real job even though people earn loads going just that)and also because I think going out and earning some money beats lazing and rotting at home practically everyday. Heck I think I might even be looking forward to army, though I am quite sure this will come back to bite my ass a few months down the road.

Gonna play mahjong again later at 11pm, hahaha, wish me luck. :)
