Chinese New Year has officially ended and I am now typing this in the office, burying myself into the pile of products and news that was sent over the CNY period.

February is a short month, thus I’ll have to start doing my stuff early, although it’s a little late now but it’s better late than never right?

Anyway, last weekend I hosted a CNY party at my house and invited a few friends over.  It was fun and everyone that was invited turned up, besides Wern Shen (it was my fault anyway)!  Thanks guys!

I wanted to have a barbeque party but the barbecue pit was booked, so no barbecue.  We then started late (it was initially dinner first) at about 10pm.  Huei was the first to arrive, followed by Jason and Chee Minh.

The rest of them came one by one.  Huei took FOUR tolls to come to my hose from USJ.  Poor fella.  But she won enough that night to take four more tolls to go home.  So not too bad lah!

I bought two cartons of beer, my mum cut some fruits and that’s it.  Nothing much to prepare.  I took out the poker chips that I got from XFX in Taiwan, Jason brought his and we played poker, after a few rounds of Black Jack and Chor Dai Dee.

Chee Minh brought his photography gear, a Polaroid and his Holga, Mei Leng brought her super old school half format Olympus PEN EF that made Chee Minh went ga-ga.

Huei was the first big winner that night.  I’m not too sure how much she won in total as she was losing slowly in the end.  Look at Huei’s “transformation, showing her true colours of a chronic gambler!

To this

And finally this! (Please excuse Mel’s hand)

Eddy then jumped back using an RM10 note on the floor that no one claimed, after losing all his money.

Eddy and Huei were basically neck and neck, both winning everyone else’s money and his big break came when Huei had a full house of Queens (pocket queens) against Eddy’s four of a kind of fours (pocket fours)!

Eddy looked like he is crying here, holding his winning cards.

Huei looking at him like she wants to kill him

Mel then came over, to tumpang glory!

I can’t believe that I didn’t take a group picture to show who was in attendance.  The best picture I have (taken by Eddy) is this, where it (partially) shows who was here:

So clockwise from Chee Minh, Jason (hiding at the back of Chee Minh), Wei Zhien, Mei Leng (Partially hidden), Ken, Huei, Mel (hidden behind Lola, AMAZING! Either the diet paid off or Lola gained a little..hehe..), Lola, Me and Chien Yi.  Eddy holding the camera!

It was a fun night and everyone went back at about 5am.  I still have about one carton of beer left.  If Wern Shen was here, two cartons also not enough!

I’ll try to make this an annual affair and next year, I’ll book the barbeque pit 1 month ahead!!
