This is my story...

Holy shiet. Guess what. I haven't open my Ang Baos and I've lost like 40 bucks in gambling. OMG, well not a large amount but I guess you can do some things with that amount of money like having a decent lunch or dinner for two in a restaurant, clubbing for a night, and so forth. Where is my luck man? Don't tell me that superstition of not paying back the money you've owed through the New Year gives bad luck to people, comes true. OMG!

I owed a total of 350 bucks. Damn. How am I gonna clear that?

Nevermind, I will gamble all of them back. No need for Ang Bao money. Chinese New Year is a time for gambling and getting money and eating roches and exchanging oranges and tangerines with others.. Thought it was boring since I have been doing it for the past 18 years but come to think of it, it isn''t afterall. Previous years, I don't gamble with my parents and uncles, but now, I have grown up. So they accepted me as an adult and I can join in the fun with them... Gambling with Pri and Sec school cousins won't bring you far. 10 cents 20 cents per round of BlackJack, NO KICK LAH BOYS AND GIRLS~!

BTW, here are some lesson which I've learnt so far. Sometimes I will give myself time, being alone to straighten out some thoughts by myself.

- Always put yourself into people's shoes. Yeah. It doesn't mean people don't seem to care, they don't in their bottom of their heart. You may feel this way, but some people may feel another.

- Patience and tolerance play a major role in your character. No matter how you are shot at by someone, sometimes it's just a little tolerance and a few gentle reminders will make the world a better place.

- Time heals almost everything. Although sometimes the process may hurt very much, but eventually when you sit down and think back what you've done those stupid things to attract attention, to make things your way, not to listen to your friends advices, you will think that you are purely dumb. You still have a long life ahead of you.

- When you feel like shit, don't worry, because there will be people who are worse than you. If you feel that you are friggin poor, you aren't the poorest. If you feel that you have been ditched by this woman, you aren't alone because there are thousands getting ditched every day.

- Do what you like without accepting influences from other people, for if you never try, you will never know what's gonna happen. Sometimes things may seem impossible, because most of the times people are afraid to try, but if you do give a try, you may realise that things aren't as tough as it seems.

- Do what you like, but stay within the rules.

Still in Chinese New Year mood. Anyone up for a game of BlackJack?
