There Goes Our RM$30,000!

There goes my $30,000! Omigosh, I really can’t believe it!

It was a few days ago when I told my mom about story in the movie The Best Bet. It is about a monk rubbing his butt on the chair, claiming that he can squeeze some 4 digit numbers for people to bet on and get great prizes. Translated to English (from Hokkien), the number which eventually came out is 3791. Yeah, 3791. 3 – the shape of the butt, 7* – rub , 91* – chair. *Ask someone who knows how to speak Hokkien to help you out.

Me and my mom giggled like crazy on the car. She thought that the number, 3791, was a good number and wanted to buy it at the nearby Toto outlet. But then due to traffic congestion we decided to give up and go home. Actually we wanted to tell dad about the number, as he was the one usually go buying numbers, but then for some stupid reason we forgotten.

Then when I was flipping through today’s newspaper I realised that 3791 was the first prize in the Toto draw! I went speechless for not buying it. Stupid me.

See? 3791 is the FIRST PRIZE! Damn it!

I asked my dad about how much would we get if we really bought that number. Thinking carefully, my dad said that the number would bring us $30,000!!!

I'm relatively new to the design world - only to start learning HTML in secondary school and then moving on to (X)HTML and CSS in college. Since then I have been hand-coding my designs using notepad, alongside with the amazing help from Firebug. I embrace photography as a personal persuit during my free time, and I prefer spending the rest of it doing meaningless quizzes on Facebook and destroying the world (in Rampage World Tour, that is).

Name *

Your name is required. Why?

So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Email *

Your email is needed. Why?

Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

Website

You can always leave a personal URL behind

It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.
