Bad days...

Today morning, I was having a bad hang over. I didn't drink much, but i drunk and felt for throwing up. I thought everything will be fine after a night, but then it doesn't. Worse thing, some how i broke the water pipe in the morning. I had to turn off the main supply to stop the water flooding my house.

Bad luck keep coming into my life. I spent the whole day in my room for waiting plumber to come to my house. I skipped lunch and breakfast and bath. It cost me 100 bucks for the fix and new replacemet.

I nearly collaspe for the first time. Extremely sad and heartache... now it already turn to an end for me.

There are more things I need to send for a fix and replacement. I need to repair car door lock, replace my laptop lip, replace my pda sylus... hopefully nothing will be broken again. Life needs to go on...

Penang Turf Club

Penang Turf Club established on 1864, which is 143 years of history until today. There is a plan to move the club from island to main land of Malaysia. It will become an historical landmark for Penang Island.

There was a feeling that want go out from house to have some fresh air and find some activities. Penang Turf Club will be a nice place to visit, as it might varnish from island, or may be I no longer have chance to visit after this year. So, I decided to go with my housemates on 21 October 2007.

There is a bit different from what I expect. Penang Turf Club is that big compound like what we see in HK series drama. It quite small, but there will be a lot of people I can tell you. There are 2 halls, main hall and common hall. We paid 6 bucks to enter the common hall, that without air-cond. Every bet cost 5 bucks. There is a choice for you to choose, buy a win or a place for a particular horse. Win mean the champion. Place mean the runner-up. There are different odd for different horse and of cause for different places, win and place. The odd is depend on the demand and will be shown at the electronic board inside the run course.

I thought I had my luck that day. Three of us, I entitled a free gift for entering the club - a Turf Club cap. So I had tried hard for my luck, too bad, I lost all my money, left a buck in my pocket :’( But lucky thing is I only bring less than 20 bucks there. Let me roughly brief about how the game goes. You will hear some ‘beep’ sound around 10 minutes before the race. Then jockeys will ride their horse to a base field, which is near to the crowd. Then those uncles will rush near them to see the horse if fit and in high moral. Well, it is very hard to observe anyway. If easy, I won’t lose all my money -_- After that the jockeys with ride their horse to start point and waiting for race. You can place your bet anytime before the race take place.

Horse race is quite amazing. It seriously will make human to addict. First of all, the horses look so different. You can feel their mor
al and high spirit on competing. Some how, it affects your emotion. They looked great. I love horses, dude! The body muscle, the shape, the high spirit behavior, totally bright up your life.

The excitement on waiting the horse to pass the end point as champion is so irresistible. If you are not addicted to gamble, horse race is a good sport to enjoy. But some how, it is too easy to lose your fortune. So, don’t try it if you can’t control yourself from addicted! So, I won’t enter again in near future :P
