darling!!! everytime you tell me how silly my blog is, it always makes me very sad you noe... :(

but nevermind, as long as you still read it, that's good enough for me!

anyway, everyone's talking about the 2 casinos today. i feel compelled to talk about it, even though i have no access to straits times and my current affairs knowledge is like poop. so yah... i think the whole idea of putting a casino in centosa* (* = named changed to avoid fate of certain PSC scholar) is just a ploy by the govt to make centosa popular once again. ok that was DUH. but think of this: if the aunties all go to centosa to play casino, where do their kids go? EVERYWHERE ELSE. and if they can spend 100 bucks to go casino, the 10 bucks fee for underwaterworld will be NOTHING. so in the end, even if auntie doesn't lose any money (which is highly unlikely), cingapore gets richer by 100 bucks + everywhere else in sentosa that charges entrance fee.

but what about the not so rich cingaporeans*? having realized that cingapore* is becoming casino island, they would probably be influenced and start warming up to the gambling fad. But no money to go casino then how? Go Merlaysia*. It is now clear that Cingapore has also come into an agreement with the Merlaysian government -- Having lured all their tourists, we now offer up our own citizens to Jenting*. Fair exchange man... we get the tourists with all the cash and you get our kiamsiap gamblers who can't afford to donate 100 to the pee-aye-pee everytime they feel like losing money.

In the end, everybody wins -- except us poor scholars overseas who write blogs and then get stoned on Straits Times.
