mundane

i have feedback from a friend(erhem) that he is lacking comic relief and i was urge to make a post asap.
but anyhows..
1st.. it feels good to be put back in action.
the past week with no laptop, and being all alone in the gloomy house was torturous.
going home to and empty house with nothing to do was definitely a pain.
and now it's all over! cos i have my xiaobai back from servicing(contrary to certain misunderstanding, xiaobai is simply my white vaio, not some honda jazz... =_=)
haha.. but then again seeing myself having to derive(distill more like it) joy from such mundane things makes me wonder if i'm wise person who knows how to appreciate or simply a pathetic smart aleck. a question that leads no where shall therefore be left unanswered(by anyone and everyone pls! haha...)

i kinda realised i had lost fervor... or rather decapitated is a more apt description, lost my head, and thus lost directions, wits, common sense all... maybe cos of the rough week before.
bridge training last tue was horrible.. i was literally dying to get out of the place.. with the count training(killer training but impt and good). and to top it off, the coach gave us a quiz, which he took a week to solve. i took only one night.. on which i was super excited that i couldn't sleep, to give a amateur solution, that sounds wonderful, alas with a glaring problem on discards. and apparently i wasn't the only one who came up with that proposition. after a "gentle" reminder on the quiz problem, it was back to the thinking cap for the next attempt.
on sat, it dawned on me, the most feasible sequence. but the dianogstics on the discards continued to elude me.. until sun.. woots! wahaha... and i couldn't hold it any longer.. i went online using my desktop at home. to my delight, no one has found the right line of play. and like a scientist anxious to publish, i published the solution. i had hoped for it to cover for all scenario, while describing as little as possible. ie, not to give all possible distributions, but just the main few. i decribed the key line of play, assuming the other players will follow and assumed that they know the appropriate actions after the point of description. i was proven wrong sobz... but oh well.. shan't bother with those who cannot see but doesn't bother to ask. as for those who can see, yay! those who can't see but ask, i shall do my best to explain. =)
haha... guess the triumph comes in that tho other players found a similiar line, they lacked the crucial step. a mini stunt, discarding hearts on the diamonds, and cashing the last heart. this is the key step that will avert disaster in case of the last scenario in which count will not be known.
cashing the heart last will ensure that the count will be apparent after some counting. =D

anyhow, sianded... bridge venue got changed... it became online bbo tourney instead of the usual duplicates. oh wells see how it goes lah. at least can watch discovery channel(boom de ah da~! but now they changed the song to a new cool awesome song which i dunno the name )=.........)
and play at the same time. woo hoo~!
hope i can eat rojak at clementi tonight.. =P
