Yeah! I'm going to Genting for a weekend in Dec. We were planning on a short trip for Sleepaholic's birthday which didn't materialize in the end because of various reasons on the side of various parties. Point is, none of my friends are particularly interested in Genting because they feel that there isn't much activities going on there. But what kind of activities do you need when you have a MAJOR attraction there?

So, I am quite excited when my mom asked whether I wanted to join the family for a weekend trip to Genting. It probably isn't a very good interest to have, some would even call it a vice, but I love to gamble. It's heart-stopping-action, especially if those chips pile up in front of me! I love Chinese New Year because that's the season when I have the most number of "kakis" (i.e. gambling partners), where people open up their houses as "gambling dens". I love playing mahjong and I love card games. However, I see gambling as an occasional indulgence and not a habit.

Back to Genting. I used to try and sneak into the casino before I reached the legal entry age and more often than not, was stopped at the entrance. It was only early this year that I can saunter in openly. That was exhilarating!

Hopefully, I will have a windfall this time round, enough to sponsor all my Xmas expenditures!
