It hovers around 19-20 degrees Celcius in the day, and at night, the temperature dips to 14 degrees or so.
They call me Bats
I've been wasting my life gambling at the casino. (: I'm trying not to go so frequently now, but a couple of weeks back, I was there almost every night.
I sit for hours at the tables, betting crazily on 'Casino Wars'. ( Casino Wars - No skill neccessary, just luck. (Since I'm a beginner, I was banking on beginners' luck.) You place your bets and the dealer deals everyone a card. As long as your card is larger than the dearler's, you WIN! ) The game is fast and furious, and you can bet as much as you like. The dealer pays 1:1, so, bet lots and win lots, but then you MIGHT lose lots too.
When at last my heart gives up, I move on to the slot machines, drawn like a moth to a lamp. In large neon lights, the prize money of a MILLION dollars flashes just above me, egging me on in my quest to hit JACKPOT! Again, again, again!
If I lose a lot of money there, I need to recoup my losses back at Casino Wars! or even Bacarat. (Yet another "No Skill, Just Luck Needed"
Till the wee hours of the morning, I'd be in the casinos, moving around the different tables if the going got bad. And marking out my spot if I found a place particularly lucky.
With a pack of Cartiers in my bag, and a stack of 50 dollar tokens in my hand, I was set to go. (:
By the third night, some of the hardened gamblers actually recognized me as one of their own, and would gave me a slight nod, asking me 'how goes the night?'
In which I replied, (in perfect gambling protocol and lingo) 'Its been ok, I've not won, but then, I've not lost either.' (It sounds so much better in Cantonese, I swear.)
Ahh...the things I do for entertainment up here where Hell has frozen over.
