Got back last night and what was the first thing I hear people talk about? CASINO. Opened the newspapers, CASINO. Looking at the pictures, I can bear to think about how regimented our minds have been programmed after spending too much time here. I came to realize that the nation's favorite past time is actually QUEUEING. In fact, I realized this fact ever since the days of Hello Kitty when people would queue and get into bust-ups to get their hands on FREE Dolls from MacDonalds. Now, these same people says that they are feeling lucky and queueing up for a taste of fortune is worth the while. 'FEELING LUCKY'??


In all truth, maybe you did feel lucky when you left home. But, by the time you reach Sentosa, having to queue and the bad-bad odour of the 'other queue', I reckon the God-of-Luck would have sprint his way out of your body without any hesitation. Not forgetting, someone's un-luckiness may just jump on you while in the queue. Apart from that, how can you gonna be lucky on an island which has proved too many times that nothing really work on that island. It's not called PULAU BLAKANG MATI for no reason.

I heard someone say, "My wife don't le me gamble in Joo Chiat, but she says it's ok if I go to Sentosa....." - is this theory as good as, "Don't go Geylang and fuck, it's ok if you go nightclubs!"

I may not be a gambler, but if I was one..... I would go back to the illegal gambling dens in Serangoon, Geylang, Joo Chiat, Tanjong Pagar and everywhere else. Here's 10 reasons why.....

1. No need to queue.
2. The car park is just less than 10m away.
3. You can smoke in the gambling hall.
4. Wear anything you want.
5. Need money, they guy standing behind you can give some. No forms to fill, just IC.
6. Make new friends who can get you 'anything'.
7. Simple drinks and food. No complicating cocktail drinks. Just beer or green tea. And the hot drinks are the ones from the coffee shop nearby.
8. Easy to get memberships - exclusivity.
9. No 'cover charge', no double standard. Love all, serve all.
10. The gambling den change venues every now and then. The God of Luck won't get bored in one place.!!


Another thing that is bugging me....... my Islander card to get into Sentosa is now void because of the CASINO. Can't get into the island to laze around at the beach. Driving into the island will cost $7, and the traffic jam is worst than getting to JB on the weekends.

And worst of all, the country is celebrating it. Just like we're celebrating idiocrisy.

I'd rather hangout with my Cheena bros for a drink or two......
