Another amazing Saturday

Yes, I'm dreading work. The sole thought of stepping into the cold and miserable environment makes me cringe. It's not that the people there are ill-treating me or that I'm being deprived of meals and thrown into slavery; it's like revisiting something which you're supposed to be an expert at before realising that it's not what it had turned out to be.
*Sighs*
And it's back to facing those four walls and a mountain of things I'm still unfamiliar with tomorrow. It's small wonder why I'm counting down to the end of term break as I speak. The only upside to things is the pay and not needing to worry about the exorbitant prices of next term's textbooks. Plus I might be able to pool enough money for a short trip by the end of the year. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.


It's back to Gordon's house for another round of board games and crazy jokes yesterday. The little toy poodle which was being housed temporarily at his house captivated me with its little-girl composure. And we get to see Gordon turning into a little kid when he's interacting with small animals, be it the poodle or his own pet tortoise. It's another 2 rounds or Puerto Rico, 1 round of Bang!, 1 round of Vegas showdown, 1 round of The Game of Life and 1 round or Cluedo. Jack brought along some pricey white wine and the 2 of us had to finish 3/4 of the entire bottle, since Gordon's not a fan of white wine (he added ice cubes to his wine! *Gasps*) and Gerlyn doesn't drink. As usual, I turned tomato-red after that, despite the fact that the alcohol doesn't really work on me. And the G couple did some fair share of bickering during the games, like what they always do. Jack and I would just stare at them and laugh.

Gordon popped the question,"So have the two of you quarrelled?". and Jack had to say,"No lah, but soon, soon.". To set the record straight, I have no intention of starting a quarrel with Mr.Jack, and I do not see the need to do so. I guess we picked up the correct habits for maintaining a strong relationship, which is to learn to apologise. So I do not foresee ourselves getting all fired up at each other, because the amount of self-reflection we do whenever something happens buffers all the possible amount of enmity.
So it's a NO to quarrels, as far as possible.

Well I managed to beat Gordon at Vegas Showdown, didn't do that bad for Puerto Rico, and thoroughly enjoyed myself together with the people I feel comfortable with. And the few minutes we had, just to laze on the seater with the dog resting between us, was priceless.
