The Gambling Takahina

Lately, Takahina has been gambling with the 7 Flowers, partly due to being coerced and partly, I hate to be out of a group, so i've been going along with them. They have been mostly playing Blackjack or "Ban Lack". So today, i shall elaborate on the ways of it.

The way they play hor is that the banker opens one card of everyone, with his the last. Then from then on, he slowly determines whether to add or to open ppls card to see if they POM. Frankly lah I hate this rule and way of playing.

Let me just elaborate on the ways of the CASINO playing. Don't forget, i've entered into the Superstar Virgo's casino to get free drinks.

The bankers opens one card of each player as usual. The players will then play, with the following rule: Split, Double.

Split: 2 cards of same number can be seperated to form another side bet.
Double: You double your bet for the next card. So you can only get 1 more card for double the stake.
Insurance: Player can buy half their bets if the first card of banker is an ACE.
Banker's rule: Banker will continue to draw below 15 and will stop drawing at 16.

I'll elaborate with an example that features all rules.

Player bets $100. Banker gives card, you get a card of 5 while banker first card is an ACE. You are offered a chance to buy insurance, and thus your bet will now be $50. Then Banker gives second card, you get another 5 while banker covers her card, proving it's not a blackjack. Now have you 2 cards of 5, you can split. You open your card and seperate it into 2 sets, adding in another $50. So now you have 2 sets of cards with $50 for each. For Set A you get 15 pts. You end your turn. Set B you get a 6, so you have total of 11 for that now. Since it's 11. Player decides to go for Double. Hence, now you add in another $50, turning that bet into $100. The next card which comes in for Set B however is a 4, thus you are left with only 15 for that round and you can't take anymore card for Set B as you betted double. Now banker will open her card, showing it is just a 2. So now she has 3/12/13 points. ACE counts as 1/10/11 for first 2 cards, but counts as 1/10 at 3rd card beyond. Banker draws card again, King. So banker now has 13 points. Banker draws again, gets a 2. So banker now has 15. Due to banker rule, banker cannot stop drawing. Banker nows draw and gets a King. So you won both sets of cards with only 15 points. Total amount of wins = $150.

Understand now? Don't understand MSN me.

Anyway, the commonplace gambling is different and it places more advantage on the banker, thus so whatever blackjack rule you playing now, you can just scream back at him, "YOU EVIL CONMAN BANKER!" But still continue to bet.

Gambling, surprisingly it adds an extra element of fun to gambling. In the past when i first betted soccer, I was so worried about the outcome of Leeds and Leicester (Both football club at English Premier League), that when Leeds lost, I grew berserk and siao and began to fuck the television set which was displaying the match of Leeds and Leicester.

There was also another time whereby my mother gave me $50 to play jackpot. She has been at it for around 2hrs with just $50, while I set on it for less than 10 mins and the bloody machine ordered me for more money. I fuck it. My mother however was unconcerned and continued to be addicted to the flowing images and 7s you see all over. The sounds and graphics has gotten very high tech too.

From then on I decided, "I suck at gambling" despite having the techniques there.

And indeed it showed. There was once I played Blackjack with each round only 10c. Banker won almost all my rounds and won me 50c. I grew pek chiek. I shouted...

"I bet 50c!!!"

Banker has blackjack, now i lose $1.50 from 10c. Bah. So on that day I have to walk home.

But indeed gambling has a great effect on people. Nowadays, 7 Flowers are so hiong they can bet like $2 each round, thinking it's new year. And the amazing thing is they never stop. They keep on going until they lost like $12. It's nothing compared to true casino lah, but then hor, we as students, this is freak enough.

Gambling is indeed one of the most addictive thing in society, almost everything in this world has a sense of gambling in it. However, the one thing which makes it addictive is the fact that you don't believe you will keep on losing if you are obviously losing. Or the other thing is you believe your good luck will last and you will keep on winning more money. That's the holy factor. People has lost families and alot of shit with that fucking holy factor. But then, fuck i'm not gonna elaborate on social unrest, such people don't deserve the strength of my fingers typing here.

Anyway, gambling in the end, is just a pasttime lah. You can gamble and treat it like it's a sort of entertainment. You lose, treat it like paying for entertainment. You win, treat it like the banker is a man in red with either black or white hair. You gamble football, you will grow excited and spastic with even the most boring of matches. That is the power of gamble.

Just treat it like entertainment fee. Have your life depend on it and it'll means you're a no life.

The Idealistic Takahina

Lately, I realised on my motives in schooling and the things which I'm learning in school. The motive? Nothing.

In precise, the more I study the more I realise how distant the A'level subjects that I'm taking relates to the kind of things I love to do, except for maybe GP as GP can improve on my language and econs since I can learn more of business from there. Also, it's now then I realised that practically nothing in this world can be ideal to everybody. Why isn't it ideal? It's due to the presence of society.

What I want to pursue in the future, I feel will be something like drumming, writing, or perhaps even to just open a shop selling Jap related stuff including Hentai as Hentai will be exclusive in Singapore. However, presently the subjects which I'm studying, like physics, is totally useless for me... in the current situation anyway lah. Then if since I don't really have the interest in physics, why did I take in the first place? Society.

I've been injected with the opinion of entering JC, Uni, blah. The standard way lah, so in other words the stuff which I'm studying now is to pave my road for the university. But then, I don't think that what I'm studying in now or future will truly help me in my ideals. This happens not only to me, but I think, to the whole society as well.

Nobody can truly obtain their ideal goals, mainly due to society constraints. Few will have the courage to actually enter a field which is totally new and away from the mainstream like OniShinobi who pursue computer visual design and something of sorts. Few will have the chance to pursue on their musical talents since there isn't much chance of doing such and the only way we have is just plain old Yamaha. Most of this things, we have to go overseas.

So in the end it remains very fucked up. Why are we stuck in a way we cannot fully pursue our talents or interest? For example, there is not even a CCA which I enjoy in TPJC. Mid last year i thought I will finally have a CCA I can go and have fun. But heck this year the school just fucking close up that CCA. So now I'm CCAless and I don't even care about looking for any others since I have interest in none of it!

What the government sees on is results that can directly benefit the whole fucking country. They go and implement on ways in which the whole fucking country can benefit from it and they do it in their so-called public interest. Yes, go ahead and prevent any imports of porn or sexual related things, now even some 18 years old also don't even know what the fuck a dildo is. Heck, I even doubt many people heard of a shit called fleshlight. Nabei I'm gonna get myself one to show the noobs what it is.

The fact is that in the past, indeed such measures must be implemented to continue and further the growth of the society. I don't care what Lee Kwan Yew does at that time, I'm not born yet after all. But now, Singapore should be more open and give more power to the related associations to perform their tasks. Give more power to the people. This applies to schools as well.

I'm thinking, why must the school prohibit what students do? We want a Japanese Cultural Club, so just let us get it! When JC1s want to be together in a class, just let us be together lah! Why seperate us into different class with grade differences? It's not like it'll kill you. Tamade. You think you seperate us into different class with grades we won't know ar.

Till now one of the biggest mysteries I have is that why am I in a totally different class with Benjamin and Priscilla even though we have subjects and school backgrounds. Now then I realise, it's due to the fucking o level grades we get. In every class, they will add in some good students and some moderate students for the sake of the good students helping the moderate students. Then behind every class, there is a limit of the moderate students' grade. Like in my class it's around... 14 including all CCA pts. But perhaps in other class, they limit the grade to be like 12 or 13 and add in some students of around 9 pts and you get a class. That's imo how they mostly seperate us, of course I have not included other factors such as Orientation group and so. So now, i think it's just because i'm inferior that's why I'm not in your class hor. But then, i'm perfectly happy with my class now. The whole class never do GP homework, superb.

The most fucking and infuritating thing bout this society and the idealism behind what each of us wants is that society often at times is unable to provide the ideal life we want. If not, most of our ideals are covered or hidden with propaganda unwittingly transfered from our parents and teachers. I'm one such person. However, it's not like I will regret what I do now, just treat whatever things you're doing now as a game called Shinobi. Maths question? Easy. Those simple questions are just little enemy that can be defeated with just few slashes. Those hard questions will be the boss which will make you pek chiek. Then if those hard questions are still rather simple, it means that these questions are like the bosses in stage 1 and stage 2. Still handable. If it makes you frustrated to the extent you throw the whole book out of the window, then it's like the last boss in Shinobi whereby I almost throw the whole controller out of the window.

This society is fucked up.

Why?

Cause people are fucked up.
