坚持

华人过年,无赌不欢。从大年初一起,我的亲戚就从大舅家到外婆家,然后阿姨家,当然还有我家“聚赌”打卫生牌。

我呢,就在连日边看无聊电视,边观摩赌局的情况下度过了这个佳节。从看不懂牌局观摩到看得懂。其实,他们玩的牌局是蛮简单易懂、容易上手的。不过,就算我看无聊电视看到闷得发慌,我也不会参加赌局。就连在我妈上个厕所时帮她接个牌,我也不去应酬。

其实,打打卫生牌也没什么嘛,大家在佳节期间聚一聚,玩玩开心一下。我在想,为什么我死都不去玩一把呢?是我吝啬不想输钱,所以宁愿放弃可能发点小财的机会?还是我在坚持些什么?我父亲生前不喜欢我们赌博,也不让我们赌博,所以我也就很少玩牌赌博。也许是我想延续这个拒赌的信念吧?为什么要坚持呢?想不通。也许是吝啬加上不知所以然的坚持,两者都有吧。

It's still not so bad when pple play card games during festive season...it's a way to relate to each other, u dun have to be close to the person and yet u can sit down together and play a game or few...at least I think it's better than when pple gamble during wakes lor...I dun like to use the word "gamble" because I feel there's a negative element in the word...it's like an addiction and pple r obsessed with money...

I dunno if I'm defending myself, but I think 小赌怡情,and it's gd for the brain! U know, my favourite is always the 香港政府鼓励人民打麻将以预防老人痴呆症...嘿嘿

Next time if u wanna brush up ur skills, without involving money, can jio me lah...I always lose when money is involved...so no money I also quite relieved...I once played beer/baileys+milk before...haha...

Sigh...maybe we could have met up if I were in Singapore...两个无聊的人,在农历新年。

Actually, 最后我也参与赌局了。On the Sat after I put up this post. Haha. Sat down for half an hour only, lost 21 bucks.

真是没偏财运!以后再也不赌了!不过,玩爽还是可以的。
