The presistent fly and.... some sore uncles... LOL

2 days ago, as I was taking the MRT to City Hall, there was a ang moh guy who stood in front of me with his back facing me. I couldn't help but notice a fly that has rested on his right shoulder, but I didn't think much of it as I thought the fly will naturally fly away once he makes a big or sudden movement. But it was quite the opposite of what I thought. The guy happened to alight at City Hall with me, and as he walked really quickly ahead of me, I saw that the fly was still on his shoulder even as he climbs up the escalator. And so I took the City Link and was headed to Suntec, and as I was approaching the end of the City Link, I saw that same guy walking towards me. I guess he was trying to find his way around and probably walked past where he would like to stop, but as he walked past me on my right, I saw that the fly was still there! It was really quite funny to me how this fly is so persistent on sticking to him, it's almost as if the fly was hitching a free ride to its destination =X haha and linking to this...
Yesterday, I went to Kallang Leisure Park with a friend, and since there was an arcade, I decided to go in for a game of Street Fighter 4. I did not think much of it as I went in and I just played against whoever that was playing since there was only 1 machine. Little did I expect that after losing my first game, I managed 52 consecutive wins on my second game(the midium kick was slightly spoilt, it doesnt come out when I press it some times). It was my personal record for arcade game wins LOL! =D
The previous highest record I got was 53 wins for Guilty Gear XX at bugis but I took turns with 2 of my shifus who taught me how to play that game. This one, was all by myself. At about 40wins my friend was going on about how I look really tried and can't take it anymore and by the 53rd game, I was totally drained and lost the game to one of the uncles(well I really couldn't think anymore). It was a pity cause I only managed to take a picture at 40 wins and didn't have a chance to take it at 52, but I managed to leave my name Cal on the machine at the 1st place for wins(at least something I guess =X).
What was really interesting was that the group of uncles(how I know their uncles? they were talking really loud behind me about what time they need to pick up their kids from "lesson") that played against me were really sore. They were purposely commenting loudly on how I will lose to their pro friend if he was around, and they went to the extent that at 1 point of time they told me to "wait" because their "pro" friend want to challenge me and he is "coming down now". Well I just smiled and said "sure". But he was nothing close to what I thought (I thought he really is a pro from their conversation). I managed to win their "expert" friend for 6 games in a row, and after that, he stood up really furious and shouted really loud, "challenge him to 100 games la, bet $50 bucks or $100 bucks 1 game also nevermind". LOL here is the list of my thoughts/reaction upon hearing this statement:
1. I looked at my close to 50 win (at that point in time) and thought to myself, "I feel like just turning around now and ask that loudmouth to pay me $5000 first and don't talk so much"
2. Then I thought to myself again, "Well I seriously don't mind a job like that, maybe this is my answered prayer from God" (well of course I ain't serious, just making fun of my current distress)
3. With that kind of behaviour from uncles around me and these thoughts, I almost burst out laughing.... thankfully I didn't...
Anyways they became really irritating (well to me they were) after that. They surrounded the machine, began commenting really loudly about the game and on top of that, started to tell their friend really loudly, "nono wait for him to do this, he is just aiming for that, wait for this, faster kick him now". I was like gosh, those were the things people do in their teenage years never would I expect to see uncles acting out like that after losing a game hahaha. Talk about PERSISTENT FLIES =x hahahahaha
Oh for the record, I am not pro or really good with this game, the main reason I managed so many wins was because it's just the same few uncles whom I just happen to be able to win(with some ease =X) who had too much money to spend and decided to donate to the arcade. If there were anyone who could play averagely well, I would have lost easily =X
the time is right;
