Ah Lai Losing His Virginity

First of all, i am not talking about that virginity. I am talking about Ah Lai going to the casino for the very first time in his whole life. Yes, that's the virginity that i am talking about. Your mind strays to "that" when you first read the title of this particular post because you have a very corrupted mind.

So, i was in Singapore for 4 days last week and Singapore is still as great as it always has been. I only met Lai on my second day in Singapore. There was something important last Friday and he simply couldn't skip school. We didn't do much that day and we only met around 4.30pm and he had to leave for his school play at somewhere in Buona Vista an hour later. We then had a supper at ION Orchard Food Opera when he came back around 10.30pm. I was with Law Lee Hui the entire morning/afternoon that day, by the way.

Lai stayed with me on my second and third day in Singapore. For some reason which i do not know, Lai wanted to go to a temple in Bugis first before hitting the casino. Initially, our plan was just to check out what a casino actually looks like since neither of us have been to one. We didn't stick to our plan much longer though.

Marina Bay Sands is absolutely fantastic. The hotel is awesome and the design is one of a kind. Plenty of natural lights and we did what most guys do. We talked about what a magnificent piece of architecture it is and the cost of it blah blah blah ... The shopping mall is not as big as i pictured it though. Anyway, we went straight to the casino located on the ground floor. Had our passport checked before we were allowed to enter the casino premise.

Our first impression of the casino was wow ! Just as what we saw on the TV Series Las Vegas. However, there weren't many people that day. We only played the slot machine at Marina Bay Sands. I won S$16 from the slot machine initially with just S$2 initial bet. It didn't last long though. I kept losing then and i decided to cash out at S$10.05. After that, i continued to try my luck at other slot machines and i lost pretty much all the money i won earlier. At the end of the day, i made a profit of S$0.05 only ...

Lai was much luckier at first. He won more than S$25 with just S$2 initial bet. But then he lost all the money he won earlier and another S$7. He was very upset then and we decided to leave.

We had our lunch at Food Republic in VivoCity before going to the other casino, Resorts World Sentosa. I've been here the day before with Law Lee Hui but we did not go into the casino. It is kind of different here at Resorts World Sentosa. There were definitely more people in the casino here compared to Marina Bay Sands. Resorts World Sentosa has a different wow factor compared to Marina Bay Sands but either way, we are very impressed.

Ah Lai wanted to try his luck here again. The minimum initial bet for the slot machine at Resorts World Sentosa is much higher at S$10. This however, did not stop Lai from playing. And guess what ? He lost everything here too in less then 5 minutes.

Ah Lai was so upset and speechless. He was determined to recover his losses. People with gambling addiction problem always have this kind of thought in their minds haha ... He then tried his luck at the Blackjack table. Well, that day was his lucky day after all i guess. He even struck Blackjack four times. The minimum bet for each game is S$25, by the way. At the end of the day, he made a net profit of more than S$100. Not bad for a virgin haha ...

I will write more about my brief Singapore trip in the next few days. Pictures will also be posted then. Stay tuned !
