balls

I played pool today for the first time this semester. In the first game, I was two balls up with the black one to go. I had it right in the corner, next to the hole. I got it in.. but my white ball flew off the table, meaning i lost. The next game i lost... The third game was horrible. I lost and didn't get a ball in. Then this rule was sprung on me which I had never heard about.

Coming from 'The science of pub pool' rules...

The 'Pants' Rule
If a player loses a game without having sunk any of his own balls he must walk or run a lap of the table with his pants down. There are two opt outs for the pants rule: girls do not have to do it, and a player can buy his way out with beer (a pint or jug, generally up to the incumbent.)

Having not sunk any of my balls in, I was forced to do a lap around the pool table, in the pool room at uni, with my pants down to my ankles. I was considering chickening out.. and of course I couldnt buy my way out (no beer and im not a girl..), so i did it, while the two old ladies at the counter were distracted by new customers. I did cheat a little though, instead of having my pants around my ankles they went down to my knees. I was lucky there weren't many people around today, no girls either.

It's been a bad start to the week :(

Banana

Urban dictionary's definition of a banana:

An asian person who acts like they are white. Yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

Quang doesn't know what Dim Sum is? man that guy's a Banana.

Close enough.. I think im slowly turning into a banana. I've forgotten to speak mando. I am absolutely terrible at it. Last night when i was downstairs in the kitchen, my grandma came out to see who was making so much noise. I struggled to string a few chinese words together to make a sentence telling her that i was just putting a bowl in the sink... she was like wahhhhhhh? o_O???? At that moment I tried to run away.. but she insisted on me telling her what I was trying to say. And eventually it came out in a bit of a mumble. Loss of self confidence right there...

Someone recommend me a good Taiwanese drama to watch?
