KO-ed by Genting

I've barely survived the Genting trip with only a few dollars in my pocket and my jacket on my back left. haha. Lost a total of 650 at the damn casino !!!!! Sigh. Actually to think of it, this is the 1st time I ever came back from a casino losing, other times have small wins. But this big one cancels them all away damn.

Heh. Was up 200 within the 1st 2 hours actually, then decided to spend it on a new pair of leather shoes. Abermain. not bad at all. Then went back, lost abt 300... showered and played again and won back 300. So was dead even after end of day 1.

Day 2, down hill all the way man. Everything I tried, baccarat, three pictures, big-small, roulette, all buang hehe. Limit break, then end up watching the rest of the gang (jp, zx, chazz) getting whooped too. All of us lost loh, and I think I lost the least. But all's good, it was really fun ba. Guess its good to know at least I'm spending what I earn here and there... Roulette was extremely fun! We would look around the casino for clues and hints on what the next number would be. Like we see a word 'pelaki' so it was 6 letters, hence EVEN. or we see a dominant black colour and put money on it. Well, judging by our losses, I think the outcomes were pretty obvious haha.

Anyways the whole casino experience is just a money sucking event la. We ALL know that going casino is probably not favourable as the house always has its advantage in all its games (like the 0 in roulette), yet everyone rides their luck and tries to catch the ups while minimising the downs. It's just plain addictive I guess.

Oh. And I got a sugar mommy in Genting haha. This plump lady in her 30s who sat beside me, saw that I had already lost 300 in that session, then gave me 50 to play on, as a sort of encouragement. haha. I know its just 50, but hey, how many pple have gotten money just like that. Heh. The interaction between gamblers is damn fun la, always coming up with various strategies to break the banker's good luck and disrupt his chi . Well, what do ya know.

Gotta do some shopping for SEP this week + medical checkup. Need a place to stay in London for the 1st few days at least.... hopefully Edwin can help on this. US Open also showing now, seems like a good tournament. Fed vs Nadal again perhaps.
