MJ & reading

the 2 major activities of our bintan trip, besides excessive nua-ing, muz be mentioned.

MJ
H has brought along her travel MJ set which was quite tough to play as the tiles were really tiny. of course, it was a lot better den MJ cards.

slight problem we encountered in the first game was, the set were missing 4 tiles! it has no "animals". forced by circumstances to innovate & overcome constraints ( 所谓穷则变,变则通), we decided to use the 2 spare tiles as animals. at least got more chance to get "flower".

the flower were very special. there were 春夏秋冬 and 梅兰菊竹。 the latter is especially hard to remember so i wrote it on the paper tat we used to line the table.

Reading
well, as i mentioned before, i didn't bring any book but on the 2nd nite, HQ was too tired to play MJ. While LJ & HQ settled in early to bed, YT & I stayed downstairs & read. I stole LJ's slightly sinful which she was finishing while YT read Harry Potter.

After some time, i looked up from the book & was surprised tat YT has dozed off. Is Harry Potter tat bad tat it induces sleep?

Drinking
we had champage tat we bought at DFS on the way out, on the 1st nite, over the MJ table. it was very nice & smooth but it was a bad idea to do it over MJ. I became so sleepy tat i had my eyes closed throughout the games.

the weather was good & it gets rather when outdoors. after walking on the beach, i enjoyed my nice cold draft. the following day, after sunbathing, i went back to the villa for my beer & almost finished it all juz walking back to the pool.
