A Risk that didnt pay off

Yesterday i took a risk,
by playing risk at Til's hostel.

There were 5 of us, split into 2 teams. Elimination of any member from either team will mean defeat. Myself, Jeff and Kelvin were team mates. CK and Xiu yan were our enemies.

It was a close fight. Kelvin started war with CK and looked to be in good form early on, conquering most of his lands without breaking a sweat. I had secured South America early in the game. Jeff, as usual, was just about hanging on. Our strategy was simple - search and destroy CK..

Such simplicity proved to be the very reason for our downfall. We left Xiu yan all alone. Her army went from strength to strength as the other 4 of us were caught in a bloody warfare.

On her last turn, Xy exchanged risk card and gathered 19 soldiers! The next series of events was a pure massacre. While Jeff, Kelvin and I were praying for that miracle for Jeff to hang on, she was there, lauging loudly like a triumphant 21st century hitler, enjoying every moment of the demise of Jeff's troup. Eventually, the Jeff empire couldnt hang on.. We couldnt believe it, but we lost.

The rematch will be on hopefully soon. I sense revenge, and bloodshed.

A question

Today i asked my friends a simple question:

"Did u ever see me angry before?"

Toh shook his head and said "mei you"
From the moment i stepped into NUS, there isnt a single day without Toh beside me...

Since i offered my tissue to him on day 1 of JC, Til and I have been best buddies. We went to the same school, same army camp, and inevitable studied the same course in Uni... He said "no"

Usually im most poliet to anybody, even strangers.

I dont like to be angry. Its pointless. I dont like to quarrel, neither do i like to raise my voice. I dont like words of sarcasm. I dont like to exchange harsh words.

My tolerance is high, but high doesnt mean endless.
