我的第一次
我的第一次 ... ... 中4D 啦~~!And yes, i have just officially struck 4D for the first time ever in my life, and i really do have to admit there are such things called "Beginner's luck". Well at least it applies for me, won Toto the very first time i bought it myself, and now 4D on only my second attempt =) more to come i hope.
No System Entry, no iBet, just Ordinary Entry where you bet on a specific 4-digit number. I had to rub my eyes to confirm did i see wrongly when i was checking the numbers on the papers, even double or triple checked it to make sure there is no "跳字".
And it was quite coincidence, was leaving after breakfast with my colleague Alan when we walked past the Singapore Pools outlet and he said he is going to buy football and 4D. I just followed him in and was checking the football odds for fun. Then i saw the 4D betting slip. 有点心血来潮, so i just took it and decided to buy.
First number was my car plate number of course, come to think of it there really isn't much 4-digit numbers that had any meaning to me at all, this had to be one of them i thought - 3136.
Then came the second number ... which i had no idea yet, but rather magically it just came to me in an instance. Out of nothing i just decided to buy her birthday. Can't explain the feeling that was going through then. March 18 - making it 0318.
I was thinking the number hard to strike, because normally i see winning numbers hardly start with 0, was thinking whether to buy System Entry or iBet, but then decided not to. Most likely wasting more of my money i thought.
$2 Big for Saturday and Sunday, $8 in total. Lucky 8 i was thinking. And the rest ... you know.
But only consolation prize lah, i still don't know how much winnings, i asked my dad he said $150, anyone knows? i decided not to collect my winnings first, i want to show her the betting slip.Lastly, i had luck too with my first official live account trade in Forex on Friday, i said luck because that was a pure gamble.

Life is fragile =(
Life is fragile, and often can catch all of us when we are most unaware ...Sadded to hear yesterday that Ben's wife has left, will be going to the funeral later on in the evening with all of the colleagues together. The last i heard of her wife was still healthy and perfectly normal, but all of a sudden just went into a coma for around 2 weeks and never woke up again.
I always feel that in these situations, it is always much harder to take if it just happen out of the blue, without any warning signs beforehand. Had lunch with Ben once and he was sharing with me his family life, 2 daughters who went overseas to study and stayed there to work, and he and his wife will stay here and go to either Australia or the States to visit the 2 different daughters when they have the time.
Alan said Ben was telling him few days ago that he felt his wife was not going to make it, and he cried in the office. He even kicked the chair and said how come things became like this, and of course this all happened in our absence. And then came the news yesterday when it was confirmed...
