I know its been a long time since I've posted, but I've been quite busy and simply, theres not really been much to blog about. On the 10th of october however, a few of us did go up to genting to celebrate Richard's birthday.. Shoutout to Richard (henceforth known as R).
Anyway, 6 of us went up to genting in Dan's car, it was nice of him to offer to drive us. We had a nice dimsum breakfast and went up to genting. We spent the first half of the day in the outdoor/indoor theme park. It was a blast, bumper cars was fun with all 5 of us ganging up on R, we were trapping him in corners and bombarding him from all angles. We did it so well and hit him so hard that even the people waiting in line noticed and started to shout 'OooH' when we did hit him. That was really fun.
The outdoor themepark was great, but I've been there before and the only thing that got my heart racing was the 'Solero Shot' for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, its an amusement park ride, basically you're strapped into a chair (feet dangling) and dropped from a high height... more than 10 storeys high? I'm not really too good at estimating distances. Anyway, I managed to get Raj to ride it for the first time, he actually rode it for another 3 times... Linda and Elena also rode it (once) and then refused to ride it again. Dan and R would not sit on it no matter how hard we tried to persuade them. And we have a great picture of R on the corkscrew, I'll post it up as soon as we get it scanned... take my word for it, its priceless.
Anyway, of course, after dinner we set out for the casino, the main reason we went up. R wanted to go which was why we were in genting in the first place. Most of us played roulette. If you haven't played it, its quite fun. Some analysis is required (so we say) plus lots of dumb luck. After playing safe and losing abt rm20 after betting on 'red' and 'black' and the other outside bets, some how I had the feeling to bet on '0' *note* there are 37 numbers from 0-36 on the roulette wheel and for the different ways to bet, please refer to elena's blog. :p anyway, by some stroke of luck, the ball landed on '0' My heart was racing as I saw the ball bounce around wildly on the roulette wheel. That one spin landed me 36*5=RM180. heres what my winnings looked like at the time
Thats a total of RM225 by the way, cos I had changed RM50 in the beginning. See the theme park tag on my wrist? Anyway I really was excited and I decided to stop for a while, I had the urge to try my hand at blackjack or other card games but I decided to walk away a winner. I did play some other games later, and I won another RM10, theres really too much to talk about here so if you want to know more, just ask. Have you heard the saying money won is twice as sweet as money earned? Let me tell you... its all true. I thought I was lucky.... wait till you read Elena's blog. |
