how time flies... the trip is over!! it's back to work!!!.. ooooohhhh :(
anyway, the flight was initally booked for 6+am.. but later on, it was changed to 12+pm... which means we can slp later, dont have to reach the airport in the wee hours.. but also means we will reach macau later... kind of 'eaten' our time..
breakfast at the airport.. as mentioned, wanted to go for mac bf, but it was about 1055am, and they already started serving the afternn menu. so settled for something else..
tiger's seats are really small......even smaller than jetstar's..
meal on board..
it was already 4+pm by the time we reached macau. checked in hotel, rest a while... and dinner time!
portuguese egg tarts are a must-must-muuuuuust eat!!!! i lovvvvvve them!!!
1st meal in macau.. some hot and spicy beefballs beehoon.. :)
and then, it's time to try our luck at the casinoes!!
i tell u, it was really a good luck day for me. i actually won the triples in the sic-bo game!the dices came up to be triple 2, and the return was 1 to 150x!! sooo happy! on that day, i won HKD1,000 (S$161).
but then, it was only that day which was lucky. the next day and the next next day, i lost that 1K which i won, and in addition, lose another HKD1.5k (S$242) of my own money! cant believe it... heart pain!!!
and though there are alot of grudges over the levy which s'porean have to pay if they visit the 2 casinos in sg, i must say i really appreciate that effort. imagine, if there is no such levy, it would be so easy to visit the casinoes. whenever there is nothing to do or no place to visit, then just go to the casinoes loh.
the 1st time is out of curiosity. the 2nd time is to see see look look. the 3rd time is to enjoy the free drinks. the 4th time is to try the luck. the 5th time is to win again. the 6th time is to recoup losses. the 7th time is to try again in the hope to recoup more losses. by the 8th time, it would be a habit already. and u slowly realise, u cant do w/o gambling.
seriously, in the long run, one is bound to lose and the casino is bound to win. when u win, u think u r on the winning strike and you wouldnt want to leave. but the fact is, you wouldnt always be winning, and it's worse when you lose, as when you lose, all the more you wouldnt want to leave, cuz you would want to recoup the losses. and in the vie to recoup losses, you lose even more, and you are more buay gam wan to leave... so, in the end, u will just gamble, gamble and gamble. it's really a vicious cycle that you will definitely fall into, if you do not have good self-control.
in macau, there are free shuttle buses provided by the various casinoes to fetch visitors from the hotels or from one casino to the other. inside the casinos, they serve all kinds of free drinks - coffee, milk tea, bottled drinks etc etc. seriously, they are not afraid to offer you all these freebies. the only thing casinos fear is that no one is coming.
只要你来，就一定有的赚。
although if one wants to gamble, nothing can stop. but i must say, the $100 levy did deter many from visiting, and with such deterence, prevented many from falling into the gambling pit.
小赌怡情，大赌肯定无益。与大家共勉之。
