Mahjong, casino..BADDD
Just recently came back from my cruise trip to phuket and penang. This time, it was purely a gambling trip, instead of the sleep eat sleep eat kind of trip.
First night already got summoned to the mahjong room to play my first 2 rounds of mahjong. At first sweating, because they were playing 50 cent 1 dollar, zhi mo another $3, and gang is $3 $6. The stakes were pretty high, for my standard, so could only get use to the stakes after awhile.
Mahjong was on almost everyday, so i clocked abt 7 8 rounds of mahjong experience on this trip. A rewarding process, earned $40 at the end, but lost 110 on the last day as i really did not want to play, but was forced anyway. Got used abit to guarding people, trying to guess the cards they want and need. Still at the amateur level, but at least its better than before i went up the cruise. So darrell ong you better watch out. LOL
Other than that i went in to casino for a stroll. Haha end up helping my aunties to cut the cards, then in the end losing streak changed to winning streak. Most of them recover their losses, and went on to win money, so i guessed its good. One of my auntie won quite alot, then give me 700 as "commission". Well i guessed how the term "hard earned money" came about.
On a more serious note, it is quite sad to see them so obsessed with gambling. It's like addicted to drugs, maybe something more serious than that. That's why i was abit reluctant to accept the "commission". If i don't accept it, it may seem like i'm arrogant or something like that, then if i accept it, it seems like the responsibility of them winning or losing lies on me. Anyhow, i didn't like the feeling. They adviced me never to gamble, and i guess i probably will never indulge in it. Mathematically they ALWAYS have the advantage, the only thing to turn the tables on them is luck, and how lucky can you get week in week out. One day you are bound to lose, and as they play on your greed, you are bound to lose big.
Guess the gambling genes runs in the family. I like to gamble, dai dee, mahjong etc etc, but i gamble for fun, for laughter. Them, they gamble for money, or in some extreme cases, they gamble because they want to gamble, so even if they win, they still wanna go on, can't get themselves to stop.
Penang was ok, didn't really get to shop much, only got to eat all the penang food, as good as ever. We went to the temple to pray, then went back to my er yi house. After that rushed back to cruise because of my mother's surgical wound bleeding. Today went for checkup again, results should be out on wednesday, hope it's positive. Going through another surgery is quite scary, especially when someone who goes in that door, someone you know, someone related to you. As the door closes, however slim it is, there's this chance you won't be able to see him or her again.
The next day went to phuket, went to the temple, light up some firecrackers. After went to some ulu shopping centre, and bought nothing. In the end can only wait for the last stop, a quite big shopping centre like carrefour. Bought a cheap jeans, i like the jeans there. Looked for it for quite long, because don't know why there's an influx of branded jeans, but in the end found what i was looking for.
THE SACRED 199 BAHT TAG, equivalent to
Anyhow choose a normal jeans colour then try, must as tight as possible, because wash liao will become quite loose. Thinking what my cousin say is true also, who cares your jeans what brand, your tuck out shirt also cover the brand. damn true.
Then went to pia the singlets, only take a few, and starting to regret that i didn't take more. Chose for mh too, since he quite like the singlet. After that buy a addidas shorts, $17. Ok lor, then went back le. Same on board routine again, then after that reach home le.
