Here is a summary of my Genting trip which I went with my 2 elder cousins over the weekend.

Day 1

Basically my eldest cousin gave an orientation of Genting, the food places and the casinos. I tried my hand at the first world casino but lost quite abit there on the blackjack. Afterwhich I decided to stop and ration for the next two days lest I run out of money. So for most of the day we had coffee and dinner at the 'every gambler must eat' dim sum restaurant.

Day 2

The second day was mainly a learning day for me, learning to play 3 pictures and 3 poker and casino texas hold'em. I tried my hand at casino war, basically drawing a card to see who has the bigger hand. As I didn't want to spend too much money, I was piggybacking on other peoples hand. I won abit on casino war. But I had more fun on 3 pictures because I could hold and see my cards.

Day 3

I became more superstitious on the third day. For example when I was on a winning streak and realised that my zip was half done, I refused to zip it up. I entered the same toilet, entering and exiting from the same side. Me and Bryan even stacked up the chips in a certain order so as not to spoil the luck. But it worked in the end cos I managed to win quite abit. In the early wee morning, I made quite a couple of frenz at the 3 picture table with a few Malaysians and Ah Tiongs. We ganged up our luck and 'fought together' against the dealer. We even called ourselves the 4 heavenly kings. But luck wasn't on our side as we lost to the dealer eventually.

Finally before I left the casino for good, I teamed up with bryan again to play Caribbean stud 5 card poker. We taught an uncle how to play. The uncle was sniffing 'fong you' aka axe oil so as to get the 'wind'. Somehow the wind blew to us because we manage to get a flush, winning 5 times our bet and 100 ringgit from the jackpot. Thanks to the flush, I managed to win some money from the whole trip. As there was an extra 25 dollar chip, we decided to play blackjack. One uncle was telling us that his table was very good so we tried out luck. True to his word, our first cards was two aces, meaning we could split. We were delibrarating on how much to whack, then the uncle gave us a piece of valuable advice. '不要担心,要放就敢敢放,把石头变黄金! '
Thanks to his advice, we got two blackjacks and left the table with money again. Finally I thought about what my dad told me, to leave the table when one has won. So that summed up my Genting trip. It was pretty relaxing partially because of the cool weather. Hope to be there again sometime this year.
