lesson #066: all i want for christmas

is a good set of poker chips.

Yes, I am thoroughly addicted now thanks to the Thornbanks poker club, Unibet, and Youtube. Been watching hours of heads-up poker matches and picking up on the pros' way of playing, at the same time practicing the easier poker tricks like the thumb flip and roll down. It's so intriguing! Can't wait to play back home. La la la... Yang and I were even half-seriously discussing setting up an SMU Poker Club. And we'll determine who gets to be president by playing heads-up. LOL.

I'm sure some people are rather sick of me talking about poker all of the time *cough*Uncle G*cough* so I'm terribly sorry for that.

Anyhoo, moving on to other stuff. Did some Christmas shopping for the family yesterday:



Bought the fat reindeer for my little bro (wanted to buy him a PSP but that's rather out of my small budget) (and he'll spoil it within 3 days). The necklace is for my sis. She isn't the most feminine of girls so I thought the black bird would be appropriate. The lady figure next to the fat reindeer is for mum. Bought it from the Roman Baths gift shop and since it's so expensive I have a niggling feeling that it's Made In China and I had just been ripped off. And that's an Italian silk tie all wrapped up in the red envelope, for my daddy.

Since I've been such a good girl this year I decided to buy myself a present too:



I think I will really, really like it.
