Experience learnt from casino:
Beginners luck- win n u think u are good Won thousands in first 2 hours
Then came the greed
Crave to gamble cos easy money
Easily earn an executive month's pay in a day!
Then came the losses
N u start sinking in
Bets became bigger- from tenths of dollars become hundreds become thousands per bet
What was lost earlier, u want to recover n it's accumulative
Worse if u bring credit or debit cards
Or borrow from junkette
If u can afford to pay back, fine but mark my word it will be painful
If u can't pay, u get desperate n miserable, suicide tendency... Just die or jump down n all sufferings end- not true! 
Then came the awakening... God gave me enough n I took it from granted n now I fall back to normal... Mid of life (crisis) some more... Only when u lose significant, then u will cherish life. Last time, smell the kids for granted, now every smell of the kids n wife n mummy is so fragrance.
 
Never play play or try, but if really want to go, let me know! Play smart!

Comments:

- why magdelene first to see Christ after his ressurection
- feel contradicting at times e.g. Bible in my favorite bag but I don't bring it out often cos it's my fav bag... Then how?    

Recent revelation: serve not self but people through God (thru Prophet, priest n king), so had some idea to propose to church, was meant for vcs...

I have to say changes are not easy... Past jobs... Quite pampered last time la... Now brace up n quite Han solo again... Not easy... Thank Him really...
