Clamp in Wonderland

Has your car ever got clamped?

Well, a few days ago mine got clamped.

Since early morning I had this feeling that something is gonna
prevent me from following my daily routine like always.

why?

cause I parked my car somewhere at the courtyard instead of
parking at parking lot and that’s because early in the
morning there was no available parking space left

Clamped Kembara being unclamped at Palm Spring Damansara by Condo Security force

After meeting security people they asked me to pay a fine of
100 Rinngit Malaysia equivalent of  29 USD (at the time this is being
written) to remove the clamp.

Later I called the security chief officer and appealed to him for about
25 minutes. The guy was really tough but I’m much tougher

I told him that there are no signs I wasn’t aware of their
parking regulations and convinced him to unclamp the car
and forget about the fine.

Well,
dear reader, the clamping story is not that important what’s
important is the fact that today I lost my blogging virginity and
joined the community of bloggers.

yooohooo…

warmest welcomes to me as the newest member of blogosphere.

talk to you soon

Redbull 7 times more expensive than the market price!

A couple of months ago I went to a night club called papa-something!
at Hilton hotel Petaling Jaya with a bunch of friends to enjoy the time
but the prices didn’t really let me enjoy!

Here is an example of the bill they gave me  :

It came up to 32 RM (Ringgit Malaysia) which converts to
10 USD and it’s almost 6 times more expensive than the
price they’re selling it for at 7Eleven!

Anyway they had live performance which was considerably
good

Cheers…

Few reasons to quit smoking

I was smoking heavily for a course of over 2 years and I’ve always been struggling whether to quit or not.
A very good way to find out if something is working out or not is to make a written list of advantages and disadvantages of it and then make a decision based on the comparison.

Here goes my list of pros and cons for smoking;

Cons;
1. in the long run it might cause health problems
2. waste of money (one pack of cigarettes a day costs $80 US a month
3. smells bad
4. the heavier the cigarette the more sleepy i get (people mostly become alert by smoking cigarettes! in my case it’s different!)
5. global warming!
6. always need to look for an ash tray and u can’t stop ashes from spreading around the house

Pros:
1. satisfying an old habit
2. it’s definitely cooler to smoke
3. something to pass the time with, when there’s no reason to stick around

Well,
I guess the list of cons is long enough for me to quite.

Last night I had my last cigarette (around 1AM) and I passed the rest of the pack to a guy whom I bought a alarm clock from at a night market.

wish me good luck,
I’ll update this post with more facts in the near future.

How I made 2000 USD in two days at Genting Casino

Yes,
It’s true, I made 7000 RM (2000 USD at 3.5) from playing roulette at Genting casino Malaysia.

 

But how?

There’s a strategy called martingdale that focuses on gaining small profits in long run.

As you might know in the game of roulette there’s a wheel consited of 37 pockets, specifically 0 to 36.
And a table whith 36 numbers and 0 indicated on, where you can place your bet using your chips.
Plus there are other bets your can place instead of 0-36 which all tell more about if you follow.
each time the game is played your have some time to decide where to place your chips and then the croupier -casino’s employee- spins the wheel and  small ball in opposite directions. The ball eventually lands in on of the pockets on the wheel and that would be the winner bet.

If you have placed your chips on the winning number then you will get 32 times your bet (320 RM if you’d placed a 10RM chip). The rest are losers and their chips will be appropriated to the benefit of casino. 

If you are following Martingdale, you don’t bet on numbers, you bet on evens.
There ’s another type of bet called even, either even or odd, also red and black (each number has a particular color).
but since the possibility of winning in this type of bet is higher the reward is only one time the bet you’d placed. for example if you bet 10 RM on even and 14 shows up you get your 10RM chip plus a 10RM chip as your reward.
Every time the game is played you will either win or lose, if you win you get your profit place the same bet again but if your lose you double your last bet so that if you win you’ll get your reward and you’ll also cover your previous loss(es).

That’s how I earned 2000 US, playing roulette for less than 15 hours at Genting Casino.

The ugly part of the game
Like you hear all the time, “casino is always the winner, no matter what”.
I was pretty lucky to come out as a winner,
Earning money at casino has never come to my mind as an income source. I only hit casinos for the fun of the game.

If I kept on playing i would have definetley become a loser in the long run.

Let me give you and example,
You start betting on black with 25 RM, but what if red showed up more than 10 times in a row?
That’s very rare but scince of statistics shows it’s possible. and I’ve seen that happening.

If that happens you will lose big money. Take a look at the sequence of your bets:
25 RM, 50 RM, 100 RM, 200 RM, 400 RM, 800 RM, 1600 RM, 3200 RM, 6400 RM, 12800 RM, …

I’ve bet as high as  3200 RM while I was ready to go as high as 6400 RM.
6400 RM was were I’d drawn my line.

As you see Martingdale  requires a lot of guts, and persistence and more importantly luck.

Wish you all good luck gamblers
