Busy Crazy Week!

Haven't been blogging much lately, compared with the one week where I had a blogging spree. I wrote one per day for 5 days in a row!

Too busy nowadays. I had a crazy week at work. CRAZY. Crazy until I couldn't take my Wednesday afternoon off for study time. :( Partly crazy because I work so slooooooooowly also. But then if I work fast I know I'll miss stuff and then I have to go back and redo it anyway.

Crazy until I have to go back to the office to work tomorrow!!!! And tomorrow is a SUNDAY. I'm working on a weekend for the first time! I think this requires a formal recognition of some sort. In a really weird way, I'm kind of happy that I finally have the need to work on a weekend. If you've never worked on a weekend, then you've never actually worked in a consulting firm. Hehe, just kidding yah. I'm working tomorrow because I'm slow mah.

Oh and so many things happened and will happen this week! My department had a poker tournament on Thursday night! And guess what? I won 2nd place overall. Second place! SECOND place you know! Me, win second place! Hehe, I have to keep saying it because it is really unbelievable that I won SECOND that night. I won second by chip count because we ran out of time. I would have won first if I knew it was the last hand (I thought 2nd last hand pula so I folded). If I went all in last hand, I would have won. But still, I didn't even think I would make top 5 loh. I was expecting to get busted in half an hour.

Trust me, I'm not a good poker player. I don't even have a poker face. But that night, I felt like I could just tell what people have, and somehow I knew when I had the best hand and how to lure them into betting their chips. It was soooooo cool. I think the fact that I only had 2 hours of sleep the night before helped. Too tired to show any expression on my face. Hehe.

And then last night I went out with my colleagues. Went to my colleague's house first, played a drinking game called Connections. So fun, but I was so unlucky loh, one round I had to drink the whole bottle of O3 in like 10 minutes. Then after that we went to play midnight bingo. The place was soooooooooo smoky. And speed bingo is so crazy. The person calls out numbers like a machine gun. I didn't even have time to check all my cards. I think I must missed like every other number he called. Plus the fact that I was a bit drunk already didn't help. Very fun though.

You know, I'm so happy I came to Louisville. Yeah, it sounds like all I do here is drink and gamble only. And I know quite a few of you think I'm becoming a drunkard. Which I'm NOT. I'm just trying to build up my tolerance. ;) But it's so fun here. My colleagues are sooooooooo nice and fun. The friends I met here are sooooooo nice and fun too! Sorry lah, my vocabulary for describing friends is a bit limited. So maybe there are not as many lengzhais here as LA, but who cares? You think I'm such a shallow person meh? I don't make friends with people just because they are lengzhai also. If I do, I won't be such good friends with Mr. Turtle liao loo. :P Hehe, just kidding yah.

There's a nice balance between having fun and studying here. Although recently it's tipping way over to "having fun". Die, I have to finish my 5th report by tomorrow and I haven't even started. Ah well, I'm going out in half an hour again! The university of Louisville has a Chinese Association and they have a Chinese New Year celebration tonight. Their performance schedule looks pretty impressive. The leaflet already looks super impressive. Oh and the food. I hope it's gooooooooooood. Guess I'll just have to stay up tonight to do my report.

I'm so happy I'm here!!! :D
