Yeah, I'm still in Australia with a week to go before returning to the motherland. But that doesn't mean that I must blog about life in the outback.
Instead, I'm going to share an observation that I made whilst on holiday with my parents in genting highlands.
As some of you would've known, I just turned 21 this year and therefore am of legal age to walk into casinos in Malaysia. Needless to say, my parents took me on a tour of the areas as I'd they were regulars.
What caught my interest was the rows and rows of slots machines lined along the halls of the casinos, or rather, the people playing them.
Sure, it might be fun when you roll off 50RM and walk away from the machine 150 richer, but I'm pretty sure that's just beginner's luck. Of course, that's not the point.
The point is, I noticed that most of the players were simply seated with their soulless fingers on the same button throughout. You just couldn't help but notice that lifeless look on their faces...
At the end of the day, it's almost like life on its own innit? Sure, the jackpots in life sure sound sweet, like the person who won the lottery twice or the lucky woman on oprah. But doesn't it look kinda sad when all you do is sit there and wait for a miracle to happen? Why not do something and make the miracle much easier to arrive?
Don't mind me, I'm just ranting...
