Week of Rest & Relax
This week had been a great and exciting week for me. Firstly, I'm on a one week leave. *Envy* rite!! I went on a Malaysia trip wif my mum and her frenz. We departed on sun nite ard 12plus. My mum's frenz drove us up to Genting. It took us only 4 hrs from tuas checkpoint to reach Genting. That is including stopping for a early breakfast along the way. He drove at abt 160-180 km per hr though the visibility level is quite low. Luckily I was asleep most of the time or perhap I would get a "heart attack" even b4 I arrived at Genting.
We arrived at Genting ard 5plus and hence it was too early for us to check into our room. The group of us decided to pay a visit to the tourists' attraction at Genting which is of course the "CASINO". It was my first time visiting a casino and I was quite excited and curious abt it. My mum and her frenz went to play jackpot while I 'shop' ard at the different stores available. I decided to try my luck at something called "Big or Small" which is basically 3 dices being tossed and the people guessing big or small. The minimum bet is RM10 which is quite a big amt at least to me. Luck was on my side (i think) and i managed to win abt RM200 plus. So easy to win ah....I thought.
For the next two days, our activities was basically centred ard casino and eating at different places. At the end of the first day, i had lost all that I had won. Without giving up hope, I decided to perserve and try my luck. By the end of the second day, I had managed to help Malaysia improve their economy by donating abt RM300 to their casino. Though this, God had managed to let me know that indeed His presence is wif me all the time. Though He may answer my prayer in getting a cab or even delaying the rain for a couple of hours, He will never bless me in terms of things/activities that the bible does not allow...and that includes gambling as well. What a painful lesson!! *sob sob*. What does this lesson teach us or perhap me? That is never to test God in the things we do and also it's more practical to work to earn our living instead of relying on gambling hoping that "Lady Luck" will smile on us. Hope this experience of me can serve as a warning to the people out there.
Gambling is addictive and it not only causes you to lose your hard-earned money, it also poses a hazard to your health.The whole place is full of smoke as there are simply too many people smoking ard you. At the same time, you do not get sufficient rest as you will get "hooked" to gambling. Not to forget the poor heart of ours, it get stressed regardless we win or lose. So hard on our poor HEART!!
The rest of my journey was travelling at KL and Batu Pahat and eating more than I should. Every meal was full of meat and we eat till we want to drop. As a result, my weight shoot up by another KG by the time I reached S'pore. Luckily I'm 'slim' or else.............
