friday afternoon with bridge juniors.

a few notable quotes, which most bridgers probably already know! one junior (i forgot her name :x it's a wonder how i can remember bids, you'd say! but the truth is, i hardly remember them! :p). alright her partner overcalled 2D. she holds 4-card diamonds and tells me that she knows that max she can go is 3D. opponent on her right bids 3S, blocking her 3D bid and she tells me, "i feel like bidding 4D, is that ok?" o.O NOT ok! learn standard bidding before you learn to feel! (trying to sound like a well-meaning senior :p) then she asks, "will you bid 4D?" "i will." hahaha, there goes a puzzled junior and a self-contradictory senior :p

ryan, yen seow and i tried to play with daren. look at how his name is isolated from ours :p cos he kept snatching and swopping cards, such that someone will find themselves with too few or too many cards. so every board got scrapped. !!!! haha, funny daren :) after a few rounds, we got tired of playing with him and just went snooping around the tables again :)

shaun tho: who knows your partner may have 40 points?
o.O how do you get forty points? we figured it's a 4-4-4-4 hand. LOL. revoke!

before we called it a day, yuanxi assembled a demo game, consisting of him, jinxiang, yifei and me??? :o i was a little taken aback cos i think i've pretty much lost touch because i haven't revised my bids in quite a bid. my declaring skills were even more hopeless. (in comparison to them la!) but i think i did pretty well :D slapped down a 4H bid unthinkingly and made many juniors gasp (well, they probably aren't accustomed to this kind of bidding yet, so i felt rather pro! :p). then when jinxiang said i've got balls (if i'm a guy), i took a second look at my hand and realised i bidded wrong. even 3H would be a stretch, i think. hahaha, signs of losing touch with the bidding system! but i did a 4Hx -1 miraculously (when it could have gone -3) cos they didn't return the correct suit. oh well. i'm lucky (: yayy top board! i don't really remember the rest but the cards weren't washed very well, so we kept getting freak 7-carders in a suit that calls for extreme bidding methods. not much of a revision of bids then :)

i shall skip all of zhengyang + kah hong's sick comments! one more naughty moment: kah hong and i flooded yen seow's plate with tomato sauce! :p got him so red in the face, i was afraid he was going to hit somebody! then i ended up with that plate of rice in the end -.- instant retribution!
