LETTERS FROM THE LIVING

No more road trip this weekend and just so happened that there will be a UFC Fight Night event on Saturday! My room mates, Tommy and Robert asked me along and I got some guys from NTU to go as well. And we thoroughly enjoyed the night out!
UFC is the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and it is huge in the US. It is not the lame-ass, "kelong" kinda wrestling, but the real stuff. Street fighters, boxers, professional wrestlers, jujitsu masters and mix martial artists all train hard for years to get into this competition! The fights may be brutal, but it is definitely entertaining - especially the knockouts!!
Before you jump to any conclusions, Hooters happens to one of the few places that broadcast the Pay-per-view event on TV. Plasma screens, LCD TVs, big and small littered the place. However, we got there late and had to make do with either standing with the crowd or sit out in the cold and windy porch. We chose the latter and soon regretted it.
Thank God for the Buffalo Wings (one of their signature dishes), those hot wings taste even better in the bitter cold. We headed inside as soon as we're with the food. The Hooters girls were very busy, grabbing their attention to serve us was difficult, let alone trying to chat. The beer here is cheaper than Coca-Cola. Tommy caught us all by surprise when he secretly foot the bill, claiming "it's his night". We were all touched by his gesture, and promised to invite him and Robert for our CNY celebration.
Another road trip this weekend!! Mardi Gras here we come!!!
