how did 8545 originated? hmm... let me tell you then. 8545 originated from my HDB flat's lift. a pretty ingenious way from getting this 4 digits. "Maximum capacity: 8person. 545kg" so this becomes the famous 8545. on 23 June 2007, Saturday. 8545 appeared on my television screen. and a scream of joy break thru my room. i went to check it out. i heard some grumbles from my mum. then my dad was cursing and swearing. they were communicating in cantonese but i know what they're talking.

my dad said(*translated from cantonese):"oh fuck! why din i placed more amount on the bet. today was my pay day yet i forgotten to place more. and i only placed 10bucks and not 100bucks. 100bucks would have brought me 100K! fuck!"

my mum. "who ask you so forgetful if not that 100K could have pay up our HDB unit. you could have called me or 2nd son to buy for you more. i bought gary's bday number. lucky nv place so much."

so it was like 20mins of non-stop talking. somewhat joyous somewhat anxiety. then my mind thought this, "If Only?" if only dad placed more bets on it. our flat installments would have paid off, our life will be much smoother flowing. no worries on cashflow problems. but if that "If Only" exists in this world, there would'nt be beggars eh?

so yea, was glad my dad won 1st prize at 4D. i guessed this is probably the largest winning amount i seen during my 17 years experience from my family. so i guess betting and winning helps us alot. it will give that moment of relief and joy. but i cant explain that feeling. its something exciting to have this situation happened onto you.

i got 100bucks from dad. and 2nd bro got 500bucks. was like omg. 4times more than me? so dad gave me another 100. kept me quiet? haha. yea. money makes the world go round. spins you like a spin-a-rooney. dizzy and all.

my mum told dad to collect the prize money at Paradiz Centre. then i asked her why cant take from normal betting shops? she said more than 5K have to go there take cheque. so 1 general knowledge learnt. lol

dad was like so proud of himself. he said he's gonna treat us to seafood. and i said "Lobster sashimi!" then he said alright. haha. this will be the 2nd time eating it. so tml will be a moment to savour.

alright. quite a long post. shall blog till here. sch's starting so everybody have a good sunday to prepare! =)
