Merry Christmas Again!

Yo guys, it would appear I am more active on this blog recently somehow. Cool. So how did everyone spend their Christmas Day?

Well mine consisted of visiting my grandmum on one side of the family - the one I (or my family if I pon) dont visit every week. There, we somehow decided to play mahjong cause it's fun. 2 hours plus later, I ended up losing 9 credits (10 cents a credit, we play small), my sister lost 11 (haha), my grandmum lost like 3, and my mum won everything. Imba luck I believe. And I have recognized a trend, for the last 3 games of mahjong I played with family and friends, the person to my left always wins big. This is clearly a result of me not feeding the guy to my right, me being un-fed from the prosu + lucky person on my left, and me just generally being gosu and denying the person opposite me from winning. So for my next game, I have decided to sit on my left, if that's possible, and that would result in me definitely winning big. Okay, now I just have to put my plan into action.

The rest of my Christmas Day consisted of slacking at home, rawr. There are some nice Christmas shows shown on TV during the Christmas period, those feel good shows and slice of life shows that you don't normally get a chance to watch.

Hrmm here's a 24-hour later update on the status of the Christmas cards that I sent: I sent an unknown number/amount of cards, and I have thussofar received feedback and acknowledgement of the recievement of... exactly half of the total number of cards I sent out. Hrmm that's not bad, considering it's always been called the snail mail. And I actually received reply mail O_O. Awesome.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas all. By the time this post is posted, it'll be past midnight, and it'll be Christmas Day proper. To all of you out there who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a Merry day.

For this year, I have done something I haven't done before o_O. I sent Christmas cards! Let me see... Most of you non-lurkers who read this blog should have received the mail today, on Christmas Eve. Because the Singapore Post is really quite freaking efficient, they can send next day mail anywhere in singapore everyday.

Okay more on these mysterious letters that suddenly appear in your mailbox - They are sent by me! No shit they have my name on it. The bad handwriting is all mine, except for the very first few words that you see, they are written by my personal secretary aka. my sister, who has awesome handwriting (as compared to mine). If your letter has a lack of words, I'm sorry but I am a man of few words, or rather, dunno what to write lol. The number of stickers in your letter is directly proportional to how much time I am willing to spend to (cut and peel and) paste those stickers. In other words, STICKER SPAM TIEM.

And since it's Christmas, let's talk more Christmasy stuff. Movie-wise, Love Actually is an awesome movie. Yea I know I'm slow, but I didn't get to watch it until like last week or smth. Nice movie as a whole, but Singapore censorship is baskit. Then again, I had a friend to spoiler/discuss the movie during and after the broadcast. As in there are lots of stuff you wouldn't notice/understand until you watch the movie multiple times, and that friend has watched it at least 5 times. Actor-wise/Actresses-wise, Hugh Grant is joke, Professor Snape is a badguy, like Sol Badguy, Keira Knightley has beautifully uneven teeth and she's damn skinny, Elisha Cuthbert IS ALWAYS AWESOME <3, and err... Rowan Akinson is more joke.

More Christmas stuff - I went to watch a Christmas play along Orchard Road on Saturday. It was a naice feel good play, the script is quite good though there are a small number of lines I dont get at all, the cast is awesome, full of likable characters and acted by good looking ppl. Winner of best Female character goes to the Geisha in the show, and Winner of the best Male character also goes to the Geisha in the show. Dont ask how that is possible (ARGHHH HAIRY LEGS IN A KIMONO ARGHHHH, MY EYES ARE BLEEDING). The ninja is also quite likable, surprisingly he has hair zomg. The Hawaii dude has lol joke amount of screentime. The postman aka. Angel Gabriel looks cool. The main character dude whashe name has glasses that have no lens so I had this great urge to poke his eyes out. In general a good way to spend 40-50mins (x2) of your time and get into the Christmas Spirit. In conclusion, one phrase - "It's called Professionalism!"
