5 Guys Go A-Poker-Playing

1. Guy Number 1 has been studying the whole day in his dorm room. It's getting late. He wants to do something to relieve his stress. He's not the partying sort. He wants to hit the books again pretty soon. He turns on the computer and visits a site, where he's able to have some fun playing poker, in the comfort of his room.

2. Guy Number 2 is having a sleepless night. He has to give a presentation at work the next day. His mind is refusing to quieten down. Figures keep racing in his mind. He keeps going through the whole presentation over, and over again, involuntarily, in his mind. He jumps up from his bed. He has had enough of tossing and turning. He decides to find some sleep-deprived poker buddies online.

3. Guy Number 3 is a fanatic poker player. It's getting harder, and harder to gather a group to play regular poker. He does not get enough of poker these days! He needs a more "regular" group! He finds one online, and is able to play any time, and as much as he wants.

4. Guy Number 4 likes organising - from parties to conferences. He also loves playing poker. He's able to combine his two loves by going online, and setting up his own poker groups.

5. Guy Number 5 is thrifty, but confesses to having a weakness for poker. He finds a site online that allows him to indulge in his passion - for FREE.

5 Favorite Fruits

1. Mango - especially when it's ripe (and not too ripe). It's juicy, without any "pulp" - if you cut them up into small pieces, and eat the pieces, without having to bite the flesh off the fruit itself. This way, you won't get "strands" stuck in your teeth.

2. Longan (Dragon-eye)) - This is easily available in Singapore. It has a brown skin that peels off easily. It comes in clusters. The flesh is almost transparent, and is easily bitten off the seed (a round black seed). The fruit without its skin looks like an eye.

3. Durian - The king of fruits (in Asia - or at least in Singapore). It has a green prickly skin, and gives off a strong smell. I've heard a foreigner who likes eating durians describing the experience (of eating durians) as eating ice-cream in a dumpster! It's certainly an acquired taste if you don't grow up eating this fruit.

4. Orange - It tastes so good, especially when your throat feels dry. It's sweet, and very juicy.

5. Mangosteen - It's the queen of fruits (also in Asia - Singapore). It has a thick, smooth, outer skin the color of egg plant. It's seasonal, and not as commonly eaten as apples. The flesh is juicy, and white. You have to be careful when you're peeling the skin, for the juice drips easily, leaving a purple stain on clothings!

5 Reasons to Drink Tea

1. It tastes better than plain water.

2. It's healthy (according to a 90-year-old friend). She still goes on mission trips as far as (and as diverse) as Belarus, and Shanghai. She says she drinks tea by the pot, every day (any flavor, without adding sugar, or sweetener).

3. It comes in all kinds of flavor. Everyone can find one flavor that suits him/ her.

4. It goes well with chatting sessions. What better way to spend the time than to sit down with a good friend, and sip a cup (or cups) of tea?

5. Hot tea, or iced-tea? Both taste good!
