It’s been ages since I played poker.
Lately, I have been broke, but due to Melvyn’s generousity, I have received the free chips / gift thing where you “might win up to $1 mln chips”
I stacked up almost $300 k, then went all in on this hand.
My trips were good, just that I was outkicked.
Lost all my chips on that one. Sucks lah.
Happy Malaysia Day!!!

This morning, my housemate woke me up cuz her housekey screwed up. Blargh, my beauty sleep ruined and my day will be a grumpy one~!!
Went to play online Poker. Halved my chips on two bets. Flopped a draw twice!! one was a Club and the other was a heart FLUSH draw. All i need was another one. Guess what? On both occasions, nada. nil. zilch. Probability wise, I was >70% chance already, but when its not going your way, it will NOT go your way.
I went back to my hometown recently and saw a job opening, just 1km from my house. Its a Singapore based events / advertising company and they’re offering decent money. There are 25 positions, so I’m guessing they’re new. Its a huge opportunity for me, interview on the 7th!
If you look through my tweets [link] I stopped at Ipoh for dinner. There was this Indian seller selling chap fan.. Indian-Chinese fusion. He had the food I liked… like Petai :) Very satisfying meal. There were 4 coffee shops side by side and 3 cybercafes, and 1 pool centre. Wah, it was like the SS15 in Subang!
Jerica Chai’s Birthday is on the 5th, :) My “public enemy numero uno” back then. Once I threatened to burn her house down (for annoying me) and her mum had the fiercest look that shocked the life out of me. Shame on you, Jerica, such a tell tale ;) lol.
Friday, lets do some crazy shit, ok? Bowling, movie… :) Bring it on!
Q: What did the Blackburn Rover fan did to his car?
A: He would park it!
[from an old friend, Azman!]
Off to KL now.

Bad beat for today:
I went for meetings with the Engineers from Taylors, and later the career services officer. It was quite productive, although I put the chances of successful partnership within 30 days at 50/50. Not very optimistic, Its fun to see how businessman works, especially when they’re selling stuff.
As a business student, we are NOT that gullible, still we get interested whenever someone has some shit to offer.
Anyway, will go by TRAIN to Singapore and arrive 7am Friday morning. Then its phun philled phatventure! Hope they got iPhone to play with.
I can’t get roaming, so I won’t be reacable :( Might twit once in a while, so stay tuned!

Wow. The school principal must be thinking to himself, “oh, cock!”
Finally, my favourite swear word (adopted from Captain Slow of Top Gear) is gaining some popularity, even amongst the young ones. I’m interested to see stuff that the article claims are available, like “human anatomy”, you know…
Another bad beat story this morning. I had Ace-Jack. I flopped two pairs, all in, this time is 100k, so it was really painful for me… a guy wanting progression into the Millionaire club. Looks good at the turn, but by the river, there’s 3 hearts on the board. So you know what that means lah!
MFM later! wootzah!

Ok, So I got Ace-9.
Flop Ace-8-9. Hmmm… this is a big table, 100k buy-in. 4 other big guns loaded, I’m first to act, or under-the-gun as they call it. Worst position, but hey, I got good cards, right?
I check. And it checked around the table!
Turn card was a Queen. Scary card. Again, out of position, I checked. No one played, 1 folded, perhaps couldn’t take the pressure!
River was 6. All different suits, so no chance of a flush draw. Someone raise all-in 4,000. Next player re-raised 50,000. I was so freaking confident I committed all my 100,000 chips all-in (Melvyn gave). Turns out my two pairs was beaten by a Set of eights. Dammit.
So depressed now. Waiting for a Pool table at Club 9, no action. Tomorrow’s a Sunday; and I plan to take time off my busy week. Every day, its eat-sleep-exam-yum cha-pool .. you know, the typical routine.
Went to Bangsar for some Chinese food. And yes, my photo stream works now. See if Maxis comes up with a better data plan, cheaper.. or else each photo will cost me RM 1? Argh..
Whoa, its mid June already. Gotta lay out my plans and schedule for the remainder of the months. If not, my life will be wasted away in nothingness. Anybody up for doing some crazy shit? Like Genting, all-in our life savings? OK lah, Penang trip it is… at a “safe” speed ok, Lukas?
See how Patrick tomorrow come back from Penang. And Jeniffer coming back from Semenyih. But there’s Salsa class at 6pm at the GYM tomorrow. And lunch, Manhattan Fish Market! Wootzah!

What a night it has been.
We lost. They were the better team, good job Barca. Good bye CR7.
I had Advertising presentation at 10am that day, and we only got started like, 9:15am or something, at the Mezanine floor. It wasn’t 100% great, but we met like.. 80% of the requirements, good enough for a pass, possibly a Credit.
Slept like a pig til 8:30pm and went for gym. The mamak at Carrefour had a blackout whilst having 20-30 customers. It was interesting to note their “crisis management” and I learnt a thing or two about management.
Tomorrow is bowling day. Also it is Networking Fundamentals assignment due date. Gotta put the pieces together like I always do, add salt and pepper and package it up in a nice envelope. Presentation, and first impressions are super important, so gotta put in more effort on that.
My Chinese Name is Khor Hock Khoon. In Mandarin, its Fu Kun. In Hokkien its Hock Khoon. In Kantonese its Fook Kin. In Angmoh, its Foo Goon. In Arabic, its Fuuuh Hooon.
The first character means: tax; give; endow; army; diffuse
The second character means: descendant; elder brother
So, either I’m:
- Army’s descendent / elder brother
- I deffuse my descendants / elder brother
- I TAX them (?)
- I give them (?)
I think I need to ask you Sifu Cina (yes Yap and Wilson and Darrel, I’m referring to you) to give me a sound and logical explanation.
This weekend I’ll be attending a Students Leadership Summit at Pan Pacific KLIA. Dress code is extremely formal, so I hope I don’t disregard and disrespect any protocol. Deep in my heart I wanna dress up as a Sheikh and a white-on-white robe complete with headgear. What do you think?
I flopped quads. Too bad I had 2000 chips left. Should have reloaded.

2 pair on the flop, Aces and Fives. Raise, re-raise, all-in. My 2 pair was good? well, no. The winner hit Aces and Nines on the flop, rivering a full house! Damn, bad beat!
