a christmas carol and russian roulette

Bah humbug.

Went to watch 'A christmas carol' today with bestie.. and omg it was... ok let me put it this way, chris fell asleep TWICE during the show. lol. i had to poke her to wake her up.

If you've never heard of it before, it's a book written by Charles Dickens.. if you've never heard of him before.. i think you're from a different era or you just don't read books. Well surely you've heard of Scrooge before?? Yea it's the story of Scrooge. Chris has never heard of him before!!! i can't believe it (scrooge, not charles dickens)

Anyway.. i think the whole story can be summarized in 3 lines. Ridiculously simple plot, which is why i think it's kinda boring.


And i can't believe NOONE seems to know what is Russian Roulette!! Yes, besides being the title of Rihanna's newest hit... that's all everyone seems to know about it?

Ok firstly 'roulette' is a casino game where there's this circular game board which you spin then you throw a ball inside which will rotate around it then lend in a slot. There are like red/black slots with different numbers in them.. i think you bet on either the color or whether it's odd/even.

Next, Russian Roulette has NOTHING to do with that though. Though the similarity is the spinning part. Well firstly do you know what is a REVOLVER? I can't believe people don't know what it is?!?

Here, this is a revolver:

Yes, a revolver is a gun.
And russian roulette is basically a game that the Mafia play or sth.. they put one bullet into one of the chambers as shown above, they spin the revolving thing and snap it shut. So like there's a 1 in 6 chance that a bullet is actually chambered. Then they will point it at themselves and squeeze off.

If they 're lucky, it'll be blank la. so nothing will happen to them. but if they suay then they spin and the thing lands such that the bullet is chambered.. then GG lor.

Yes, that's russian roulette. Now you know. see, read my blog so educational right.
