Today, being the lazy Sunday it was, paperclip had a fabulous time playing Texas Hold ‘em and Blackjack all afternoon and evening. It was fantastic stuff! Even Jacob who’s leaving for American Bible College had a bit of fun with cards, as well as playing a little on the PS3. In blackjack, Hsuan joined us from his break in UNSW and we had a good time catching up with him – his new career direction now includes particpating in Christian ministry, which is such a fabulous development! Will most likely see him on Friday, he’s considering hosting a do at his place.
One thing to point out regarding Blackjack was that it eventually turned to a teamwork versus the House (that was me) game – they all invested very heavily in each other, but without card-counting and serious mathematical prowess I eventually ate up all their hard-earned (not) cash.

Oh, starting classes again on Monday. It’s the end of the road! How intriguing. Last 12 weeks of structured university study in conjunction with examinations. Bring it on!
So where have I been?
Hello everyone!
Wrapping up the tail-end of classes for this semester, my penultimate one before I can safely graduate from higher education! Other than that I’ve been good. We recently acquired a poker set with really nice-feeling chips (those clay-compound ones that clunk together with a nice “chip” sound…), and opened it out a couple of times. I have discovered that betting with fake money is much more fun than anything money could buy, hah! Oh and also you can trick yourself psychologically into thinking you’re part of the James Bond crew by declaring each chip to be worth 1000x its original value:
“… raise by 5000!”
“… match and raise by another 10000!”
You will realise following this post that the main reason I took the time to type this entry up was not to make this site to reviewy… too many reviews recently.
What? You like? OK, next one’s a review.
