Rant & Raves

This morning when I woke up, Maria was beside me and we talked for a bit before we prepared to go to work. I was still very sleepy and I tried to get a 5 minutes nap before brushing up…

Maria: “Baby, I didn’t sleep well. I got a very weird dream.”

Me: (tossing around to get 5 minutes nap while acting concern and sincere) “Oh? What was it about?”

Maria: “Oh… it’s really weird…”

Me: (still sleepy) “Okay.. but how weird is weird?”

Maria: “Well, I dreamt that I strike first prize in the lottery….” (both of us don’t buy lottery)

Me: “Oh that’s great and sweet. So what happened?”

Maria: “And the jackpot as well….”

Me: “That’s even better! How much is that add up, baby?”

Maria: “Jackpot is 16 millions, and first prize is 3 millions…”

Me: (realized she was talking about Dai Ma Chai now) “Oh that’s great baby. So did you have a good shopping spree?”

Maria: “No. In the dream, after I collected the prize money, I dump you.”

Me: (fell off the bed and hit my head) “What? Ouch!”

I made the above story up. Maria never had such dream. I repeat, it never happened. I made this story up because I am damn bored.

So what would you do if you do win the first prize in lottery?

According to some satistic, 90% of those people who won the lottery will end up deeper in debt and more broke than before they won the lottery. Well, these so-called experts explained it as easy money, easy go. That’s true. A lot of those dumb asses just buy new cars, new house, or even new wives when they won the lottery, as if the money will last them forever. Another thing I witnessed before was that some guy won a big construction contract. But the problem is, before the money comes in, he bought a brand new BMW 5 series for the wife, and he bought a Benz S class for himself. He already bought those shits and at the end, they are spending their future money.

This is so-called Free Ride. At least they had the moment of rich and wealth, even if it was just a short ride, so they will end up spending more money hoping to strike gold again after they went broke.

Now I wish to get a chance to taste this kind of richness.

(Maria: “You wish to win the lottery, but you never buy one single piece of lottery ticket!”)

Ooops!
