Sudoku.

I finally tried my first game of Sudoku. We were waiting at the taxi stand when my girlfriend picked up today's papers and started solving the sudoku puzzle. Of cuz I didn't like to be left alone. So I complained that it was such a boring game of silly additions for the numbers in the boxes. To my surprise, I had always mistaken the rule of the game. It was much simpler. No need to do any addition. It was purely a test of deductive skill. Very focus. Soon I took over the papers and started solving the whole puzzle myself.

Perhaps there are other reasons for this moodiness. Maybe the reason is not talking to anyone about the lil' things in my life. For example, talk about what I did at work, or talk about how my BP has fallen a little yesterday... Talk to colleagues you might say, no,
