I believe in Karma

Okay, I believe in Karma. Yesterday was a shit day, but in the evening I went out with mum to a restaurant in the City. It was a mass dinner thing held by the Oriental Post. There were approx. 300 Asians, all of whom were Mandarin speakers. Around 70% of them were over the age of 40. There was Karaoke, which played songs that were 30+ years old, and we got the table with a family of four who did nothing expect play with their pretty, and obviously expensive mobile phones.

It was FUN!

I'm not kidding, I like old Chinese music, I have hundreds of cds, and tapes (well, they are mum's) of music that are like 40 years old. So, music wise, happiness ^_^ Food wasn't half bad, and they gave us ALCOHOL! Yes, yummy alcohol that made me very happy. And, and, and, mum and I won a DVD-player! It's so thin, and so shiny. So yeah, not a bad night a all. Free booze, free food, free entertainment of people embarrassing themselves dancing and singing, but obviously having a good time ^_^

Yes, I believe in Karma.

Though, a few things I learned at the dinner party.

Becoming one with the furniture. The family of four didn't even register me. I was part with the furniture.

I was sitting between mum and a friend of hers. Having two 40+ Asian women gossiping at your chest level while eating food takes practice.

Alcohol makes everything better.

Never come between a 40-yr-old Asian woman and the chicken. Ever. It can only lead to tears.

If you repeat to yourself long and often enough that you want to win the DVD-player, it will happen.

I like that revelation...

It's sooooo true!!! But you should really generalize a bit to:
"Never come between 40+ yr old Asian women and the buffet table. It will only result in your pain and loss."

Yes, yes. You speak the words of true widsom. I didn't want to generalise but it is the truth. They are feral chipmunks out to devour the world.

Inaccuracies...
Chipmunks don't eat as much as these women in proportion to their own body weight.

Re: Inaccuracies...
It scares me that most of them manage to keep their girly figure when they can eat about as much food as our combined weight. There's just something seriously (pisses me off) wrong here.
