Gong Xi Fa Cai

My friends came over to my place at around 11:40 pm. Every time also like that that it became a norm for them to visit my house this late, haha.... too bad that playing the piano this late will disturb neighbours.... can't fulfill their wish..... =P

A not-too-bad year for me. I won around Rm7 just now playing cards with them. It was fun though it wasn't right to gamble but fuck it, it's new year! so, who cares? This is one thing that Chinese can't eliminate, gambling........ Actually gambling isn;t any of the heavy criminals, it doesn;t do any harm to anybody except the person who gamble him/herself. Hence sometimes i don't see the point why some people is so against gambler. The person who gamble should be wise enough to judge him/herself whether or not he/she should gamble. What they do is their responsibilities. What a thrid-party member can do is only to give guidance and advice, the others are all depending on the will, awareness and maturity of the gambler. is it fair enough to say it like this??

there is a proverb in cantonese: light gambling brings fun, obsessive gambling brings bankruptcy..

I am actually against the obsessive gambling. I couldn't see the reason why people willing to pay out their pay cheque to the gambling table. Statistics, has been used wisely by the banker to ensure a gambling table wins. the chinese saying: in 10 games, 9 are losses isn;t coming from nowhere....

As a social gambler, i am annoyed by those people who cease their family responsibility just to fulfill their desire for gambling. i wonder how a dead gambling table manage to tie some of the people around it for their whole life, even after bankruptcy. ....

anyway, this is new year........ it wouldn;t be right for me to complaint too much.... haha..... happy Lunar new Year everyone! gong xi fa cai!
