Human Nature – Betting

Under the Sun 2 Comments

Do you ever feels that it is weird that almost everything we can gamble with? For us chinese, we are quite of gamblers. We can get anything to gamble with. Don’t believe it? Believe it!!!

For example in olden days, a person could gamble with the odd of raining or not. If it is rain, they will have a measurement of the quantity of the water on a bowl or plate. Well, that’s the basic of it. In a small community or society we live at, there’s always an event that kept the chinese people busy with. It is know as “Number Flower” or “Zhi Fa” (in cantonese). It range from 1 to 36 and there’s two session. Early and late session. Wonder that the game of this still available in today society? Usually the odd is 1 to 36.

But in Malaysia, most people are into the lottery tickets and 4 digits number betting. The odds? I also dunno coz’ i do not invest enough to be a professional or full timer. Any sponsors? On top of that, we are fortunate enough to have a one and only casino. And it is at the top of the highlands. While gambling for the big whales, other can have some funs at the entertainment facilities provided. That’s why big whale must visit Malaysia.

Then for small time gamblers or those so free nothing to do, we can opt for internal game of pontoon, black jack, chor dee (beat brother) or whatever a deck of cards can be played. Worse come to worse, the evergreen game of life. Mahjong!!! but I rather play Gin Rummy as it’s more easier (yeah, i am noob)

This reminds me of a time where I just wanted to test out my colleagues. Since they were discussing who in the company will get married first, most of them speculate that Alex will be the one getting married within year 2007. Therefore, I told them why not we have a pool betting? Everyone who wanted to play have to chip in a fixed amount of money, and pick a date of his marriage in this year. Whoever hit the closest to his marriage date wins the pool of money. If not, we carry it forward to next year. Luckily that they are not into that else, I become a illegal betting house :p

Now, come to think of it…… we need to bet and see whether whose cocka longer? Cocka? Aceone? Rojaks? or Linpeh? fast.. fast.. the odd is 10 to 1..

Congratulations, My Dearest Friend MY

Under the Sun No Comments

To my dearest yet beloved friend, congratulation. From the bottom of my heart, I wished you a good marriage and a happily ever after fairy tale like ending. I wish I could attend yours and it is going to be one of my most regretful events that I am missing.

From the day I know you, through the Magazine Galaxie to date, you are very special to me. I still kept the letters with me from the day one. All those things you been telling me, were still very fresh inside my mind. How you find that to choose either one as your pen pal originated from KL. You said that you decided to pick me up instead of the other and chuck the guy’s letter down the rubbish bin. I found that I am so lucky that among millions of minions, you have chosen me. I’ll never forget that. We started off since feb 1998 and it’s going to be a total of 10 years although the length of friendship cannot be measured through a measurement of time.

If were to look back at our correspondence, it is funny to see how both of us grew throughout the time. After our secondary education ended, I miss to hear from you until one sweet day when I received a postal from Australia. It was from you all the way down under. You told me that you are going to further your studies there. And after the transition education, you picked up a major course. Majoring in nursing. To serve and help. A noble idea. But my heart ache when I saw your avatar on the MSN where you were like drunk (lack of sleep) holding a cup of coffee.

Just gone through the previous emails you sent while back then when you just enrolled in RMIT. Things about Vic, being vegan and driving the oddessy around. Plenty of stuff going through my mind now. The tormented feelings and impulse just wanted to go over to Taiwan for your big day in Feb. It’s not easy though as you meant something for me. Someone I feel ease and comfortable sharing my entire story and stuff. Just like you say, it feels like you are my other half… I think I deleted most of the early email correspondence but out of somewhere, I managed to print them out in hardcopy. icon razz Congratulations, My Dearest Friend MY

It’s your birthday today and I can only wish you a happy birthday from your birthplace, Malaysia. And furthermore, the latest movie “Happy Birthday” reminds me of your birthday.

Being Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest

Under the Sun 2 Comments

Sometimes, once a while we get to be dumb. Or dumber or dumbest in one way or another. For example, there’s one time I was so dumb for doing stupid thing in my life. Well, I’m not going to tell you what I did, but heck… you can find 101 Dumbest Moments in Business

There are a few portions I like about these moments like “Don’t be shy about pulling something you like out of the trash”. Reminds me of the times my secondary school friends when to the toilet of Medi-ya located opposite the Central Market to perform dumpster diving. Not because of he likes something inside but curious enough to see how does a sanitary pads will end up after their period. Just like the time he collecting his sperms in a case.

And does this thing happened in my country?

A computer glitch in the tax rolls of Porter County, Ind., causes the valuation of a house in the city of Valparaiso to shoot up from $122,000 to $400 million – boosting its annual property taxes from $1,500 to $8 million. Though the county’s IT director spots the mistake and alerts the auditor’s office, the wrong number nonetheless ends up being used in budget calculations, resulting in a $900,000 shortfall for the city and a $200,000 gap for its schools.

Now I wonder why we still having the same problems.

I plan to get a laptop so it is portable and can place them on my lap. But due to afraid of fire, there’s a statement “Do not use your computer on your lap.” -.- So? Last but not least when you been caught cheating, just tell them that “All I’m doing is emulating the behavior I’ll need when I get out in the real world”
