Joy from a bag!

Oh my god!

My mummy bought me my miu miu bag and it's sitting in the living room, oblivious to the joy it brings me. Man, I havent been this kind of happy for a long time. This kind of happy being that kind of happy you get when say u have been longing for a Baby G for a year and finally getting it when u do well in your PSLE or the kind of happy when u receive your favourite barbie doll on Christmas day. I really haven't felt like that in a long time. It's like someone (usually my parents) granted me my wish, not with a wand but with their credit cards. ahahahah.... It's ridiculous how happy a bag can make me and I never thought of myself as a bag person.

I love the whole process of buying the bag. I love it the most when I see it get wrapped up nicely with the ribbons and the nice nice box. It's in a pale pink box with the miu miu words in brown and god, i hugged it and gushed over it to no one in particular. Man.. I am ashamed of how i am acting and feeling over a bag.

I haven't opened it yet to look at the bag in detail, I wanna save it and open it on my birthday. I like savouring the joy of seeing the box just sitting there waiting for me. I feel like a kid again and it feels great cause I am turning 23 and I am going to start work. The road is long and it's gonna be tough but moments like this remind me of the kid I can be, particularly around my birthday when i am just going to grow older and hopefully wiser.

Here's counting down to my birthday. I shall not mind that I start work on my birthday. It's only a day after all. But I am happy and thankful for all I have.

And p/s before anyone reading this judges me for being a super high maintenance girl, this really is a rare rare gift and I appreciate every single bit of it.

My first official bag: a miu miu bag! oh joy! oh happiness! oh wheee.

七搶花

I learnt a new mahjong rule quite some time ago. I was honestly very appalled that there is such a rule cause it is god damn dumb.

The rule is: Anybody who gets 7 flowers will win wu tai automatically if anyone else gets the 8th flower. That is called snatching the 8th flower and somehow, that outrageous act earns u wu tai. If you were to draw the 8th flower urself, it's akin to getting a wu tai zi mo. If someone else gets the 8th flower, it's like that person who drew the 8th flower threw a wu tai for you to game.

And it doesn't matter if yours cards inside are shit. As long as that 8th flower comes out when u have got the 7 other flowers, u win!

Doesn't that strike you as being super ridiculous? It did to me! Cause my friend got it and I drew the 8th flower for her to game wu tai. I was flabbergasted! I was shocked! I was outraged ! How can there be such a stupid rule??? There is no skill involved. You just draw flowers non stop and pretend to be a florist.

Bah! You can imagine how much I complained about it when my friend won on that stupid rule and I did not even know such a rule existed before she won. Growl. Makes me very angry. Why like that? You cannot even defend. You cannot draw a flower and pretend that you did not get one cause everyone has to open their cards at the end to prove that the 8th flower did not come out.

I was so disgruntled and I condemned the rule.

That is of course, until I played mj another day. Lo and behold! I drew 7 flowers myself and won when my friend drew the 8th flower for me to game wu tai. Hee! :D It is not a stupid rule anymore. I love that rule! It's amazing! It delivers money to ur hands for having flowery hands. Love love love it.

Long live the 七搶花 rule! I shall extol its greatness until someone else games on that rule and wins my money. Ho ho ho....

flowers flowers flowers!

girls wun have to nag if boys paid more attention

Mahjong Accessories

A friend of mine gave this to me. I opened it and laughed at myself for ages. I laughed whilst I was driving, I laughed when I got home and I giggled for a few days after that. It's a hilarious gift. I don't know whether to be happy or insulted. But that said, I was thoroughly amused to get it.

Strangely, I broke my losing streak after I received it. So it's a lucky bracelet and earrings. I wonder if I will ever dare to wear it and play mj? What will pple say? Will they say that I have terrible dress sense and I am obiang? Will they say that I am pandang? Will they laugh at me and say I am desperate to win? Will they ask me where to buy it???

When I gather the guts to try it one day, I will let you know but meanwhile, you tell me. If I wear this and play mj with you, what would you do? The whole set includes hong zhong earrings, a da si xi bracelet and there is a hong zhong handphone dangly thingy that is not featured in this photo.

hmmm. i wonder

this is sad

I don't know why but this song came on just as I gave up on ICF. It's "If we hold on together"

Oh my god. it's freaking depressing. I am transported back to primary sch and worse, it makes me feel like the end is really here. Ask me to seek out a star and hold on to the end. valley mountain there is a fountain that washes our tears away... My whole lawyer life is going to be like that lor. I want to know where is that fountain.... In the middle of raffles place ah? or some hidden toilet in the law firms. freaking hell....

when we are out there in the dark, we dream abt the sun. In the dark we feel the light, warm out hearts everyone... wah liao. in this bleak period of exams, i feel no warmth man. sure as hell a lot of kangkorness.

I know this song is meant to be inspirational but i tell u, it's like rubbing salt onto your wound as you study.

GPAs and MJ

My mj crazed fren and his theory on how much luck we need for exams:

so u get GPA4
4 tai zi mo
no la..
actually
if u get A-
its 4.5
so 4.5 is 5 tai
but not zi mo

Fate

was watching some silly programme. the female and male leads were at the same place but they missed seeing each other because one came a few minutes too early and the other a few minutes too late. Or wat abt those classic scenes where the guy walks into one elevator and at the exact same moment, the girl walks out of the other elevator.

That got me thinking. Although you guys are so close to bumping into each other, you two still don't because of those few minutes. Does that mean you don't have fate at all? or does it mean that you don't have enough fate? Or is it fate's way of laughing at you?

Even if you bump into the other person, thats just one person out of the dozens of people you bump into. Is that considered enough fate??? Enough fate in the sense that you guys are meant to be with each other. No wat. Cause you are going to have see each other more than once in order to create a future.

So, in the end, does fate even play a part? Can we create fate? or are we supposed to seize the opportunity to continue the fate when it presents itself.

In true form, I relate his back to mj. You can get one fa cai, den u throw it away thinking that you are unlikely to get another fa cai. But fate makes fun of you and u draw another fa cai. Do you still keep it in hope that u can get 2 more fa cais?

So so many decisions are made on incomplete information. So we blindly make decisions and take the leap of faith. And when we leap, we hope that fate is not out to make a fool out of us.

dumb post. i should be thinking of ICF
