Continuing from my previous entry, my parents arrived at 5.15pm. Quickly, we went to get our number for check-in. Because of the large sum of people, check-in counters in First World Hotel were divided into 2 parts. First part was where you get your number for the next queue; whereas the second part was where you get your hotel room.

Trust me! Genting was not a good place during Chinese New Year, people were everywhere.
But we were abnormal enough to spend thousands for two 3-day rooms for than 3 years straight!
Genting First World Hotel room had lots of rumors, until one of my colleagues (guy) claimed that he would not be brave enough to walk through the hotel corridor during midnight. Actually this photo was taken at exactly 12am J.
To make thing 'worse', this was my hotel room number.
If you were staying in the standard room, most likely you would encounter 3 problems:
- The toilet was so small that bigger-sized person need to reverse himself or herself into the toilet to sit on the toilet bowl.
The shower room usually had some sewage problem until when you bathed, you felt like we were swimming.
If you were unlucky you might your windows might be facing other room. So, less privacy for couples, good show for viewers :p
Guess what? I had 5 Angpows this year! Would this be my last year getting Angpows?
Before hitting the casino, I went to check the Zodiac advice in the Star Newspaper website. There seem to be an article for those born on this year.
Extract from The Star Newspaper
Do’s and don’ts for the Ox
SLOW, sure progress is the rule for the Year of the Ox, predicts Ruth Q. Sun, author of the Asian Animal Zodiac.
Generally, the Year of the Ox will be good year. Difficulties can be overcome with patience, steady efforts and strength, she adds.
“People born in the Year of the Ox appear indecisive, deliberate and slow-moving. But they are patient and perservering. When they’ve set their minds on something, they won’t give up until they’ve attained their goals. Their steady, consistent effort ultimately brings them success.
“Ox Year people are alert. Although they are not given to talking much, they can inspire confidence in others. They are very dextrous and can do almost anything with their hands. They’re stubborn and hate to fail in anything they’ve undertaken,” she says.
“When opposed, they can be quite unpleasant. They are reserved in their emotions.”
In her book, Sun says that Ox people should avoid marriage with those born under the Chinese zodiac signs of Ram, Horse and Dog.
“They will find their best mates among those born under the zodiac signs of Snake, Rooster and Rat. Their second best choice of life partners are those born in the Year of the Ox, Dragon, Rabbit, Monkey and Boar,” Sun adds.
For sure, I went to the section for me – Rooster! (Don’t call me chicken!)

Rooster
Opportunities await you this year. You should have good luck in career, romance and wealth. But you also have some unlucky stars.
Career: With three big lucky stars smiling on you, you should make significant progress in your career. You need not go out of your way to look for opportunities as they will come to you. If you do your best, you’ll achieve success. The Rooster loves luxury and works hard to procure a better life. A significant amount of money could come your way this year, perhaps an unexpected inheritance.
Love life: The married Rooster will enjoy a wonderful family life. The single Rooster should prepare to begin a new relationship. It’s a nice time for Roosters to get married and have a baby.
Health: If pregnant, the female Rooster must tread carefully. The male Rooster may have liver problems, so watch your health.
Take note: Talk less, work more.
It seems that I will have lucks in every aspect. But till now, it looks like I am experiencing the opposite! Sigh! See how this year goes for me. Not believing in much of these anyway, hopefully I could change my mind on this article. I will follow the last advice as writen there - talking less.
By the way, 2nd Day in genting, not much luck in winning. I bet the boss of genting should be laughing to the bank soon.
