Confessions of a compulsive gambler

valentine's day came and left pretty quickly. i guess the excitement of Chinese New Year made Valentine's day seem almost non-existent. partly because everyone's too busy with preparations but mostly because CNY warrants a public holiday. 2 days (hrm...to some its a week) of not having to work trumps expensive gifts and obligatory dinners and 'i love you's' anytime.

CNY has been the same every year for the past 8 years. routines have been made and little traditions have been carved in stone. i've gained a little reputation as being a gambling queen. something which i'm not very proud of but i still enjoy the game. and if enjoying the game makes me a gambling queen then i shall remain one.

pre chinese new year gambling sessions have been a bit scarce. started out with poker with some new friends...then there's the all year round chor tai ti and mahjong sessions...and yesterday i had my 2 hour dosage of dead-rami (is that how its spelt?). scarce you might say? i have toned down somewhat...or should i say everyone else has toned down which leaves me...gambling-less. gone are the days of 12 hour mahjong sessions....gone are the days where pre chinese new year gambling sessions begin during hari raya. look on the bright side...saves me some money.
