even my highlighter has run out of ink
how timely. i guess my time here has really come to an end. time to put the checks on my to do list, though i know, at least one will remain unfulfilled.
happy valley was an experience. i've never been to see horseracing b4, but now i can understand why grandpa likes it so much. the atmosphere was carnival-like.
i placed a bet of hkd 30 and got back hkd 45.50. not bad! :D the donkey-like horse who didn't seem to like his jockey very much won. haha.
but i don't think that it will ever be my hobby. it does border on gambling, though i do not think that every game of chance involving money is 'gambling' per se. life is about risk-taking at every turn. and there are, of course, much higher stakes in life than money. gambling connotes something more, a sort of compulsiveness, a kind of addiction.
shuwen is right. i do have a foul mouth. i ought to slap myself.
