A man-of-the-world turned counsellor - let's call him C -- was recollecting his youthfool days to yung listener, call him YL:
C: my Boss had punted BIG for 4 consecutive times at the roulette table at genting; the outcomes were small all 4 times. I had an hunch the next draw would be a Zelo (we like imitating chinamen replacing "r" with "l" when speaking crassik engrish...
YL:but you didn't...?
C: Yes, I didn't. About to place two 25bets on Zelo when my Boss placed all his remaining chips on small. Now, how dare I bet on Zelo against him? So I stayed my itching fingers...
The dice was thrown...
C: I gasped, and cursed silently, beneath my bated breaths so my Boss didn;t hear.
The dice stopped at zelo -- paying 35 times! -- and I missed my around RM800 win!

DESI: Ah, ces la vie!; "Such is life!" in French -- Am I correct? Throw me a french cap if Desi is wlong!:(

Sext Change: Cime back for aMore at 10! I have toleave for Dinner!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Super stretched into BF the following die, so it's 8.45AM now, the sun steaming into my Furong window to egg me on and not be the trademarked procrastinator...
The setting for this epicsode is at the Race Course --if you haven't visited any,DON'T! Okay, for educational purposes, view My Fair Lady or should it read as Pygmalion? (...followed by YOU male chauvinist .I.!)
C: I got 20% as a runner for bets on the horses -- I'm to remember the names of horses, sums betted on each odd-numbered horse e.g RM10 on #1; RM800 on #3 (obviously a favourite, no, not the number, the HORSE!:(; RM70on #7. etc, et cetera wit' occasional errata! Even that momentic erotica, here follows!
Over the PA came announcements on Payments on a win, place etc on the just ended race. Then the expert would update on the next race, with emphasis on the FORMS (condition, readiness to winetc...) of the horses to run in the sext -- oops, next -- race.
YL: Yeah, I've gone to the RC with a special matey Journo who covered such beats. We call specialised assignments "beats", ala mata-mata going round collecting makan suap called COLLECTION -- not Corruption K! -- BEAT...
C: Aiyah,please DON'T DIGRESS, can or not? I can't remember those figures in my small head-lah!
To cuntinue, there was this special race I remember.
I have been attracted by the BIG odds against this Horse -- let's call it H! -- I think it was somethinglike 40 to 1, which means, to ignoramuses, if HI wins, those who have punted on him/her will get paid in that ration of 40:1 e.g RM200 for a RM5 bet! That's durian runtuh.
C (cuntinuing in LO-er desibelles):
So I secretly placed my RM20 commission paid in advance on H, as I have followed closely its form from previous races, and H seemed capable of surprises (which means UPSETTING THE FAVES...) and the odds have climbed to 45 to 1!
The Race is on! The Announcer's voice gets higherpitched as the Horses went round the bends; his voice almost broke nearing the finishing line, and it indeed cracked when H flew past the line, in what's described as a PHOTO FINISH!
C: But in my excitement, I literally jumped for Joy. Yes, the pretty lass seated on the sext bench came over to tapme on the shoulder -- "Hey, short, please restrain yourself! H can get frightened wan, by your HI-desibelles!"
YL: Must be a kiasu from sinLAND -- Ooops,SINland, wlong emphasis! -- can't see the neighbours celebrating any success stories!
C: My Boss looked at me, and reprimanded: 'You mean, you betted against the Banker, ME?' THat was a deafening roar of a question. The RULE -- Platinum,not Au -- IS NOT TO PLACE BETS AGAINST YOUR BOSS AND WIN! Esp at such gargantuan odds like paying 45times for ever ringgit! So mine at RM20 earned 900 BIG BUCKS... which in the 80s was a medium sized fortune. BIG fortunes only for the daylight bank robbers ... you know, from UMNO, oh no! (C still had a SENse of humour although what followed was tragic...)
(To be cuntinued after BF -- my HP just rang; buddy waiting to be picked up in 10!:(
