Poker Fun

Hi there .....


It's been a week. Nothing dramatic has happened, really. But have done a lot of shopping.... scrapbooking of course. sigh.... so much so that I have already advanced my own Christmas present from my husband. LOL.... BUT I am now a proud owner of a Black MiMi Large Wheeled Tote!!!! SO I DON'T REALLY CARE! bwahahahha.....

But I've only completed 2 LOs this week, so that's not very productive. I shall try to attempt 1 or 2 today.

9th August is Singapore's National Day. M4M set a challenge for us to do a layout that is indicative of Singapore, in red and white. All I can think of is food.... or I could go political and tell everyone back home they don't how lucky they are. So I went the politically right way....


It might not be very visible but I actually have 2 sets of journaling on the LO. One set in black.... and the other in white on the other side of the arrow.

The other layout is for the Effer Dare LSS. This was my take and I actually like my title work and everything else... except, and sadly for the journaling bit. However, I manage to squeeze myself through to the 2nd round. Now I'm up for 13 photos... youch!

Last night, at 6pm I was chatting to Ruey on MSN. Then somehow, I ended up being invited to go over for dinner and poker! It was as impromptu as I have ever been.... and she doesn't live close to me (45 min away). I asked Peter if we have any plans tonight, he said no, and I said, "Let's go over to Ruey's for dinner." Actually, I kind of self-invited myself over.... kekekeke... which surprised her a little bit... and she didn't think I was serious! hahahaa...... but I know her house is always an open house. Well, ..... now I've officially made her house an OPEN HOUSE. lol...

Dinner was great. And poker was even better. I have always only watched the game on TV but to play it myself... was nerve wrecking. I know we only played with chips and no real money involved... but it was still no easy feat deciding to call or raise or check or fold! You heard of Beginner's Luck? Yeah, it didn't happen to me. I lost my stack pretty quickly and had to "borrow" 3 more stacks from the "bank".... too funny. It was finally getting late and the kids were a bit restless. So Peter and I decided to play our last hand and go. Guess what.... I won my last hand!! FIRST TIME FOR THE NIGHT!!!!!! LAST HAND!!!!! With just an Ace pair... over Ruey's King pair! And I won enough to payback the bank! It was hilarious. It was a great night... not had so much fun for a long time. I'm pathetic.

Anyway... better try to do some house work, feed the bunch, and scrap.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.... whatever is left of it.
