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.

Welcome to my world.

Axl on the ROLL

I thought Alex's post in response to mine was amusing; Axl's response to HIS post was drop-dead funny. I just can't resist adding it here:

*** muscleaxl fires away ***

Wow... that was a pretty aggressive and unwarranted post by our dear MC for the night. I was quite neutral with Mr Alex Tan till I saw it.

Let me just point out some things here:

1." About MCing lessons, have you wondered why I was the Emcee while you were sitting there, picking on me."

Yes, we were ALL wondering why you were the EMcee. Your jokes were not amusing and you talked too much. I would have gladly take over the mike if I could help it and if you pay me for it.

C'mon , we were were just pointing out things that you can improve on, but you took it so badly like a spoilt kid. To quote from your post: "Grow up..."

2. "...just for the record, I have only used the word, "mind-blowing" twice the whole night. Whoever heard it more than twice, you must have been dreaming, drunk, you probably hate me or you are a friend who isn't one of one of mine."

Sorry, for the record, ALL of us at our side heard it more than twice. Somebody sitting beside me even commented, "there is a lot of blowing going on here tonight..." after hearing the word uttered for umpteen times.

Yes, probably we were dreaming... we were put to slumberland by the Emcee.

3. "I'm never someone who is rude but I am known to be very blunt, if what I wrote offended you, all I can say is, I'm being brutally honest and you better sleep over what you wrote"

Hey, the feeling is mutual.

4. "Just fyi...Jo Han's pockets are definitely WAY deeper than yours and he doesn't need the spare change from a uneducated punk."

I doubt Jo Han himself would have used words like "uneducated punk", he seemed like someone who can take criticism the right way.. someone with more class.


5. "$40 doesn't get you much these days, and even then, rumor has it that you guys actually hesitated in paying your dues.
Pretty shameful IMHO."

So where did you hear that rumor? Can you get that person who started this rumor to come forward and testify how did we "hesitated in paying"? If not, you owe us an apology for making groundless accusation and smearing the good name of SMC. This is not a joke.

Shame on you... IMHO too.

6. "Great, I have wasted 10 minutes of my time. Should I be billing you guys?"

Well, it was nothing compared to the few hours of our life wasted to hear your not-so-amusing jokes... and we have to pay for it.

Yes, you are right about us having no sense of humour.... for your jokes. We really can't sense what's the humor in those "jokes" and it's not just a few of us.

7. Too bad I have waste time and space here to write about this when I wanted to commend Mr Richard Mo for his outstanding use of misdirection, he truly lives up to his reputation.

Also, to Mr Jeremy Pei for his energetic performance. It was the 1st time I saw him in action and I was impressed by the way he timed his act, ending exactly at the point the music stopped.

Lastly, to Nique Tan. What more can I say? I bought his book and DVD.
