Cheapskate Tuesday

Yea yea...so what do we do on Cheapskate Tuesdays?!?!

To the casino!!! For the free chinese buffet, free entertainment (albeit lousy karaoke singers), free drinks and sandwiches, and free mahjong! (That's why...I said it's cheapskate...)

This time, we got there a bit earlier, so we're kinda at the front of the queue, which is not a bad thing at all...until...this weird Pakistani fella (he claimed that he is a Pakistani...but I reckon that he's been here all his life...maybe even born here for all I know...), came and cut into the line, pretending to know that bunch of Chinese youngsters in front of us, and started a 'conversation' with them.

But that didn't last long. EVERYONE could see what he's up too, he just wants to get ahead of the line and get into the buffet without being at the end of the line. You think we're stupid meh...the group of youngsters must have done something right to get him off their backs, cos then he started bugging us...WTH!

It all started with him stepping on my foot and apologising and the whole conversation started (all on his own side) and continued for the next 15 minutes.

THAT 15 minutes was the longest 15 minutes of my day. Do you know why? Because he started blabbing about irrelevant topics and even started crying in the middle of it. (??!?!) What a weirdo! It's like he's going through this rollercoaster of emotions: laughing, preaching, crying, smiling...etc etc etc...

I personally think he's plain drunk...with still a pint of beer in his hands and the overpowering smell of beer when he talks.

And he even wanted to sit with us and talk some more. Puhleeze!!! *roll eyes* I'm not interested and please do go away. He claims that he's "a gentleman and can take rejection well from ladies" so it'd be OK for us to say no. Not surprisingly, he tried this reverse psychology tactic on us by saying something like not judging our friends. Yes, I normally don't judge my friends, but HE is definitely NOT my friend. (Hello...he just started blabbing out of nowhere and expects me to take him as my friend???!!?)

Anyway, managed to shake him off when the buffet started and so we had our meal in peace. But damn spoiler man...totally ruined the mood for mahjong already. After weighing out the chances on whether that weird uncle would come back and bug us or not, we sneaked downstairs for a few rounds of mahjong.

Slow start for the night, but then I had ONE really nice game. My very first "Qing Yi Se (a.k.a. Qing Yat Sek)"!!! All cards taken from other players (meaning higher points according to Muse). Yeah! Nice cards and one round of luck. HAHA!
