another helter-skelter day... slept roughly 4 hours and rushed to school around 8am, hoping to complete the horrible soci research interview. thankfully managed to do that. then spent afternoon trying to publicish FOC to CJC graduates. very lukewarm response... very warm place... very perspiring. and then! it was the highlight of the day~ meeting my two dearest sisters for dinner! but of course, not after i spent an hour watching spongebob in toa payoh macs. haha.
my colour-coded princesses decided on crystal jade - i sorta predicted i'd spend a bit on dinner, but didn't really mind cos it's with them. there we hatched a plan to play mahjong! mahjong!! isn't that the game my dad used to be obsessed with? the game that introduced him to his mistress? the game that caused much distress to my family? the game that my mother eventually got hooked onto as a form of escape (masked cleverly as a form of socialising)? the game that eventually left my home an empty shell? the game that ultimately splintered my young and vulnerable family, leaving it old and cynicalised? the game... that ultimately left us (and jo's friend louis) rather drained, and left me $14 poorer.
mahjong. i still wanna play it well. i still love it's chinese-ness. even tho i know that i will be paying for it. mahjong simply runs in the family.
