I think one of the major pull about casino is not you'll always have the chance to win since you'll have an equal chance to lose, but the probability of using a small capital to win big amounts.
Though how many people and how often these people win big is up for intepretation.
So what makes these people keep coming back? The psychological effect of winning is so big that they will remember winning even if it's for that one time and they will keep going back to rekindle the memory of that feeling.
But it will never be the same. They will never be able to achieve that emotional high of winning for that very first time unless, unless they hit the jackpot or an amount they never fathom they could win. That, will be the new psychological benchmark.
This makes losing acceptable. It's part of the process, you win some you lose some. They will console themselves. Always. That's probably the reason why losers are not quitters. Even if they have to borrow or beg, they will return to the casino floor.
The gravity of winning overwhelms their ability to control their lust.

Interests Me You
In my attempt to upgrade myself, i have searched through the web. Well not exactly, i just took the first hit i got on google. To find the most interesting topics that people you are conversing with will find interesting. Looking at the list, i think I'm seriously not that interesting chatter. OOooops? Here is the list :
1. Who is the most interesting person you ever met? You can see how this would easily lead people to voice
opinions and ask 'why?'
.
2. Where in the world would you most like to visit? This dream location may be shared by others and so it makes people feel solidarity, but also, people will be itching to ask 'why?' and keep the conversation flowing.
3. What has been the most life-changing experience you've ever had? Here, people can share funny and touching stories if they want to, which will help you get a deeper understanding of them. Likewise, if people don't feel relaxed enough to give a heart-felt reply they can answer in a funny way and it all adds to the conversation.
4. What is the most spontaneous thing you've you ever done? That opens the door to all sorts of funny and romantic stories.
5. Who's had the biggest influence on your life? Because this person has influenced the person you're asking, they must view them positively and have strong ideas about them. That means they're likely to enjoy talking about them.
6. What thing that you haven't yet done would you most like to do? This kind of inspirational question always gets people talking and everyone's usually happy to chip in with comments about people's hopes and wishes. Just be careful when commenting that you don't rain on their parade. It's their right to have whatever hopes they want.
7. What is the best quality you've inherited from either of your parents? This is particularly interesting at a family gathering when people know the parents you're talking about. It's also a bit of a bonding experience, speaking favorably about your parents.
8. From which person have you learned most in your life? This is another uplifting, positive topic of conversation that usually gets people talking.
9. What historical figure do you most identify with? This lets you know something about the other people around you; it also opens up discussion of the events these historical figures were involved in. Yes, potentially it takes you into dangerous waters of politics and religion but people usually take this question in the spirit of fun in which it's meant, so potentially awkward moments are easily averted.
10. What kind of music do you like? You could then go on to talk of CDs you've bought or gigs you've been too. You might even ask - 'what's the most embarrassing album in your collection?' That's usually met with all-round hilarity!
Go ahead people, make yourself more interesting and hang on to these simple guidelines. You might just be the next Oprah and people will queue up just to have a chat with you.
Errrr, wait i think i slipped up. If all of you were to follow this guidelines to the note then wouldn't all of you be saying the same thing? That wouldn't make me any more interesting would it if we were to speak the same topics??
zzzzz, I'm gonna go spend my next 5 mins of my life googl-ing the next most interesting conversation topics to have.

Of Freds and Louis
I own no Fred Perry's nor have my own Gucci. In fact i don't even have much money. I cant afford no Lv and Lv's don't really want to go with me. But i do wear some Polo tee's.
My Polo tee's might not be your Polo tee's.
Quiksilver slippers cost me RM79 and you tell me yours costs 5 bucks? Well, his is birkenstock and it's five hundred bucks. I don't really care how much it is because it does look a little ugly to me.
If costs can replace beauty then i think all rich people will be very beautiful. But they are not. Half of them are actually quite the ugly.
I use a Blackberry and it's all very merry, but when i wear Topshop and it's all very sloppy? Hey hey, let's not be bitchy. People like me, can only afford so many.
Besides, it looks very good on me.
Hmmmph. Burberry cant buy so many. I cant even buy an only. But maybe, just maybe, it might fall from a tree? Hahahaha, My thinking is kinda salah, kinda like my Zara.
Nevertheless some of my Zara looks better than you wearing Prada and that is quite the in your face. Price is after all just a price. Expensive stuff dont necessary produce good looks.
Maybe in the future i'll be in the receiving end of this. Maybe.

When I'm a Billionaire
I never knew using your own money to buy things feels this good. It's a kind of satisfaction and joy that knowing you spent your money on something you think is worth
*Does not apply to the female spesies as they, well, i dont think i need to explain*
Today, i took my own money and bought smth i thought would be a good investment. I was smiling all the way back with a kind of satisfaction i have not felt before. I was using my own money to buy things, it feels good.
It did hurt my bank balance tho, carved a shit ass big hole in it too.
After heading back to the office and showing to my mom what i bought i realized that even if i've gone completely mad and did not want to be rich...... i have to.
No, I must. It's not to show off or to simply buy things and hoard em *oh, sounds womanish.* but to be able to support and improve on my current lifestyle.
But i will refuse my parents initial disposition of getting me to buy stuff for them. Just to get back at them for a bit. It'll be fun when i'm able to do that. Revenge is sweet, no?

RIP lech Kaczynski
RIP sir
The plane apparently crashed into trees in foggy weather.
Only question that runs through my head is why is the pilot flying so low? Aren't airplanes equipped with very good gps systems? cant the airport controllers detect where they are?
Hmmm... waste of life.
