Deal yourself in!

The card table beckons - buy in; sit pat; the next deal's about to begin.

The money's just a way of keeping score. The thrill is in making the hazard; beating the odds - nay: making the odds! The accomplished mechanic laughs in the face of lady luck - he makes his own luck; he controls the game.

A professional gambler never gambles.

Adventist Home for the Elderly - 21 Feb 2010

Image0013A group of volunteers from a local law firm took it upon themselves to bring some Lunar New Year festive joy to the elderly at the Adventist Home (Kim Keat Avenue). They wanted a volunteer magician to help as the collections they took up would go entirely to Adventist Home, so I figured I’d ‘volunteer’ a few students to help them out.

Alistair and Timothy were more than generous with their time and effort – as always. They agreed to help without a moments’ hesitation when they heard about the event. Initially I was concerned that this period of time was quite tough for them to make such commitments – being the Lunar New Year and all – but they were really gracious and even skipped some Sunday classes at Church to be a part of this event.

Also joining us for the first time, a few new faces – young urchins so fresh they almost reek of milk. :) Linus, Jon, Trevor and Chee Wan really held themselves well despite their inexperience.

For a first time out, I’d say they did a great job!
