International bridge
i joined my hall's INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE CLUB.
say bye to german bridge and hello to international bridge!
hahah it was a fun and super tiring night learning and playing international bridge last night.
International bridge is different from the bridge we play back in singapore (german bridge)
for international bridge right..
Golden rule no. 1
Golden rule no.2
the person opp the guy who won the bidding have to open up all his cards and place it on the table.
he will den become the "dummy" and sort of like "don't need to do anything but just watch the game"
den the guy who won the bidding will play his own set of cards and at the same time, he have to control the card of the dummy. so yah the guy who won the bidding is playing 2 pple's cards.. and IT'S DAMN DIFFICULT. coz u're controlling the game and u have to think ALOT ALOT to make sure u make the right move and dun kill ur own cards.
so actually there's only 3 pple playing the game.
the guy who won the bet (sitting opp the dummy) VS the another 2 players (they're one team)
anyway we were so awed by the way the guy taught us how to play the game.. he can design the set of cards in such a way that there's only 1 winner and i really learnt alot from him
they're bridge club is like the dota gang in hall.. like play bridge everyweek and requires 101% of concentration.
after 2 hrs of bridge, i can feel my brain inside my head.. it's been a long time since i really concentrate and focus so much.. like enlightenment. haha
can't wait for the next session on thurs! whoohoo!
kk i'm going to sch! i'm late!

Golden rule no. 1
You cannot talk.
and this basically makes the whole game damn difficult. because apart from the stock market game, i always find the need to talk in all the card games!
we cannot even speak when we do bidding. we have to communicate thru this special set of card and it's not just normal "i see i got alot of spades so i bid spades" kind of phenomenon.
everytime u picked a card out to bid, it tells your partner alot about ur card and how much "points" u have for each pattern (diamond, spades, heards, clubs)
so if u anyhow bid, ur partner (the guy sitting opp u) might think that u have alot of points and will respond to you.
so must think before u bid! dun anyhow anyhow "2 no tramp!"
anyway, I figured out that we cannot talk during the game is because it's internationally played and there might be some communication breakdowns if players were to communicate amg themselves. so maybe they set this rule to prevent any miscommucations. make sense rite.Golden rule no.2

my first day of sch in HKU!
after months of working, travelling, playing, slacking and crunchyrolling... it's finally time to settle down and start reading about Sigmund Freud and his school of thoughts.
from my hall to sch.. it's a 20 mins walk, downhill
the 3 halls.. on the left (blue colour) is R.C Lee Hall. in the middle is Lee Hysan Hall (my hall) and on the right is Wei Lun Hall (gerald's hall)
our hall is on top of a hill.. so the view is damn nice! but too bad my room faces wei lun hall instead of the sea.. haix. 
this is another mountain (or hill) at the other side of the road
most of the buildings around here are built on the mountains.. quite amazing ah.
kennedy town. is like clementi in singapore.. a heartland area very near to sch.. 15 mins walk downhill from my hall.
i'm still very awed by this!! 
in order to reach kennedy town, we have to walk through Westwood.. a condominium with shopping mall downstairs.. we have to walk down this flight of stairs to get to kennedy town.
can u see kennedy town? it's right at the bottom..
anyway, this is my first lecture in HKU!
I dunno issit because of the yuan yang which i had for dinner last night or issit because it's the first day of sch and i'm damn excited.. i couldn't sleep for the whole night..
and so this morning, i woke up damn early and decided to walk to sch...
