<div id="attachment_177" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/genting-highlands-hotels.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-177" title="genting-highlands-hotels" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/genting-highlands-hotels-300x240.jpg" alt="Genting Highlands..." width="300" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Genting Highlands...</p></div>
<p><span>Last weekend during the Hari Raya holidays, the brotherhood formed a 2 days 1 night trip to <strong>Genting, the city of entertainment.</strong></span></p>
<p><span>So they say.</span></p>
<p><span>I feel that the tagline “City of Entertainment” only applies to kids, or any boy or girl who are not aged enough to enter the casino.</span></p>
<p><span>For the rest of us who are old enough to enter that place, it’s more logical for us to call it the “<strong>City of Empty-tainment</strong>”. Because everytime you go into the casino, more often than not you will end up like this.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_178" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/2437602912_8320c7ff02.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-178" title="emptypocketq" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/2437602912_8320c7ff02-300x199.jpg" alt="Pok Kai..." width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Confirm Win one lah!</p></div>
<p><span>How many of you will agree with me on this?</span></p>
<p><span>Going to the Genting Casino is like a <strong>never-ending cycle of the saga of Malaysian politics</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span>For instance, we always dress up really nicely, and walk into the casino full of confidence and style. And then we find a table which we hypothetically think that could pay us tons of cash, wait for a chair and sit there, looking very serious, very confident that we are going to Win big.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Like Balasubramaniam</strong>.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_194" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/balabefore.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-194" title="balabefore" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/balabefore-199x300.jpg" alt="Confirm Win!" width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Confirm Win!</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>And then not even 24 hours later, we walk out of the casino looking like this.</span> </p>
<p><span><strong>Also like Balasubramaniam</strong>.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_193" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/balaafter.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-193" title="balaafter" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/balaafter-199x300.jpg" alt="I was supposed to Confirm Win..." width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I was supposed to Confirm Win...</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p><span>There is also another theory, saying that ever since the founder of Genting died, the casino has been “donating” a lot of wins to the gamblers as a sign of gratitude over their continuous support. They say that Uncle Lim (Lim Goh Tong’s nickname) is now the “<strong>God of Wealth</strong>” circling the casino everyday, donating money to gamblers in need of money to raise their kids.</span> </p>
<p><span>Imagine.</span></p>
<p><span>Uncle Lim donating money to the poor through his casino. Helping us to lead better lives and to give better financial security to our families.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_117" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/casino.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-117" title="casino" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/casino-240x300.jpg" alt="Uncle Lim the God of Wealth" width="240" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Uncle Lim the God of Wealth</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p><span><strong>Bull Shit.</strong></span> </p>
<p><span>The truth is, <strong>WE</strong> are the <strong>Gods of Wealth</strong> who are the ones always donating money to Uncle Lim! We (the gamblers and the poor) are the ones who help him to lead a better life and to allow him to give better financial security to his families.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_118" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/casinoafter.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-118" title="casinoafter" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/casinoafter-240x300.jpg" alt="We the actual Gods of Wealth!" width="240" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">We the actual Gods of Wealth!</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p><span>And today they are so successful they’re already building another casino in Singapore. A freaking big one too.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_179" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/casinos-02-g.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-179" title="casinos-02-g" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/casinos-02-g-300x197.jpg" alt="Genting Singapore!" width="300" height="197" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Genting Singapore!</p></div>
<p><span>All because of Gods of Wealth like us to give him the financial means to do so.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_180" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/godsofwealth.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-180" title="godsofwealth" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/godsofwealth-300x224.jpg" alt="The Real Gods of Wealth!" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Real Gods of Wealth!</p></div>
<p><span>During the trip, the brotherhood attempted the Napoleon Bonarparte stunt again. This time on Jiaye. However, their efforts came to no avail when Jiaye put up a strong defense and erm&#8230; wore a button shirt (Harder to strip).</span></p>
<p><span>We Came.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_182" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0347.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-182" title="img_0347" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0347-225x300.jpg" alt="We Came" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">We Came</p></div>
<p><span>We Saw.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_183" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0348.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-183" title="img_0348" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0348-225x300.jpg" alt="We Attacked" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">We Attacked</p></div>
<p><span>We Failed. Not the next time though.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_184" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0349.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-184" title="img_0349" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0349-300x225.jpg" alt="We Failed" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">We Failed</p></div>
<p><span>But all in all it was a good trip. Get to spend some quality time with my buddies.</span></p>
<p>And I nearly stroked the Jackpot and nearly became an instant millionaire.</p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_185" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0350.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-185" title="img_0350" src="http://www.jonathanfun.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/img_0350-300x225.jpg" alt="A brush with 1 million ringgit?" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A brush with 1 million ringgit?</p></div>
