Monopoly Madness

Recently, alot of things have been on my mind. Somethings I wish I could say or do, but I can't. All I can do, is try to take my mind off them: how effecient of me. Anyways, like I said, there's nothing I can do, so... Let's see, what happened lately... Ah yes, I rediscovered the joy of playing monopoly. I know its lame, but hell, what ever it takes to clear my mind.

The players consist of my sister, my brother, a close friend of sister's and me. Sister's friend was not very active at it, and was soon the first to go bankrupt. Sister was smart, but not smart enough, especially when she decided to sell Mayfair to me. Brother was good, too good in fact. As soon as he bought an entire coloured lot, he spend every penny he has on bulding houses. In some ways, it was his downfall too: he stepped on my hotelled Mayfair twice, hence his Vine Street often fluctuated between houses and hotels. As my brother jokingly puts it - his property kept falling and rising in the stars due to electricity cut, as I owned the electric company.

It was great fun to see my sister and her friend crumble before me and my brother, selling off mortgaged properties in return for favours so they won't go bankrupt. It was even greater fun watching the "kiasu" expression on my younger brother's face, you can literally see the changes: his excitement when I step on Vine Street; his crushed look when he lands on Park Lane. My sister was saying to her friend, "eiii, we are being destroyed by the young ones lar..."

Game lasted for 4 hours, and we finally stopped when we saw the dubbed version of Chow Yun Fatt's movie called "The Killer" is broadcasted on TV. Although an old movie and poorly dubbed, it was nostalgic, to see a Chinese movie production in UK. Old.... Hmmm... seems to be that day's theme. Even I feel old, like a dying 80 year old man. I'm actually a big fan of Chow Yun Fatt - not only because he looks really similar to my father. I wonder, is that why my mother married my father?
PS: Forgive me if my blog seems falt and tasteless these days. I have a few good reasons. Sincere appologies people.
