This Is My Game

This is my game, nobody play better than me.
Since today have no rummy game (2 kaki have gone for visiting) I got the chance to sit in front of the PC to do some blogging (otherwise someone will come to my comment column ka-ka-cau-cau, but when she gone to Perhentian I never kacau her wor).
Pass few years I always surfer the “gin-rummy withdrawal syndrome” after the 15th day of CNY, even in between this 15 days if there was one day no kaki I also felt very unsettle.
Sounds like a very addicted gambling kaki hor? But now got blogs everything different liao, without the gambling, I can go blogging.
But I really like this game, I don’t know why, MIL once told me to learn mahjong, so when she got enough kaki I can help mah (Twinsdad told me when he was still in secondary school, his mom called him out from his room one night, teach him how to play mahjong, so he can be spare tyre when not enough kaki for the day wor), but I really not very fancy about mahjong lor, and some more MIL’s kaki play so BIG wan, one game can come up to RM100 over, if I really sit with those auntie, either I die pok-gai (bankrupt), or either the aunties will die laughing in their head too much because of catching a big water turtle.
And we all SILs have made a pact that only play during the CNY, and after 15th day we will stop playing and wait until the next New Year.
So far we have been playing for more than 6-7 years never broke the pact. If I really want to play at night I still have enough kaki, Twinsdad once asked me if I want to after CNY, I can play with gu-ma, MIL and Auntie Shirley, and three of them said no problem anytime. But I got discipline wan, even though I so sien and so dying for playing gin-rummy I still can tahan.
And also because I only play gin-rummy during these 15 days, Egg will let me go full force and never ngam ngam cham cham. After we have the girls he even offer to taking care of them so I can play gin-rummy.
Last year CNY the girls only about13-14 months old, so Twinsdad will play PS2 with his #2 brother and look after the girls included feeding them, change them.
But Twinsdad don’t know how to bath the girls lar, so when they are dirty or wet I still have to take care of them lor.
Now even more easier since they already 26 months old, and their cousin brother Daniel like to play with them, cousin sister Rachel also can keep an eye on them, so in between the 9 hours “non-stop” game, I will just stop for feeding them (I eat at the same time), change them (I go to toilet and freshen up as well), talk and sing to them (this is the time when I got no tile to put, game over), sometime have to carry them to play one or two round games.
Well, for the nap time I just let them play and run until they are tire then daddy will bring them to nap.
My two SILs both have maid, they can just sit for the game whole day without get up to care for the kids, just call the maid everything will be settle.
Am I a lucky mommy or not? Of cause!!!
I once was a very tense person, not only in my everyday chaos, also the relationship in between Twinsdad and in-law.
But after the girls born, they change everything, not only the interior of our house, the interior of my mind, while I reshuffle the furniture in the house to customize to their living style, I also reshuffle my thinking and attitude to accommodating to their need.
Few days of gin-rummy game make me feel our live is like this game, I got the tiles (task), then arrange it to win the game, sometime with a lot Jokers (extra helper) make the game more easy to play, but sometime even don’t have the Jokers we still have win the game if we play it right. Learn from mistake become more and more expert, don’t just focus on my own cards, obsever my componets expression, think wisely, dare to take the risk to put down the crad, regardless my componet might win because of the card I put, because this is how to play the game, only I put down a good card, then can others to continue, and me might get a chance to put down more card too.
Before I have the girls I always thought I have to put a full stop on the gin-rummy game until they grown up. But now I found it is so amazing I still can play my favorite game even have them climbing on me.
At night after the whole day staring at the tiles, I cuddle the girls to sleep, I kissed and kissed non-stop on their cheeks, feel so thankful to the God granted this two girls to me at one time, because of them I learn how to breastfeed, and from breastfeed I get to know a wonderful mommy, and with her help I make friend with so many others wonderful mothers, and one lead to another we both enter this wonderful blog sphere and get to know even more amazing people.
The girls broaden my view, loosen my stress, they have made me an easier going person, and because of all this changes I now can handle the relationship with Twinsdad and in-law wiht more greater ease.
Tsk, tsk, tsk…everyone must be thinking I won a lot during the gin-rummy game right? Can think so much just because a game, LOL…I didn’t win leh, just lost a little bit only, few ringgit gua I think…but it just remind me I am playing a greater game everyday.
I told Twinsdad last night I am very happy, he said never heard me say this for so long.
I’m very happy.
