Wah lau eh, you all hear already confirm peng. Got one uncle, 52 years old, last Saturday go Marina Bay Sands (MBS) walkwalk. He say weather so hot until brain also melt, so he stand near the ArtScience Museum there, trying to take photo of the skyline.
Suddenly, he swear he see one shiny reflection on MBS glass tower. He tell his ah lian friend, “Eh! I see God leh! Serious! The light shining down like heaven open the door, ask me to go casino strike rich!” His friend also blur like sotong, believe him. They straight away take escalator go casino.
Before go in, uncle say he must pray to the reflection one more time. He look up at MBS glass, hand clasped together, say “God ah, give me huat ah, I promise I donate 10% to temple!” After that, both of them happily swipe the casino membership card, step inside with damn song feeling.
Inside, Uncle Gamble Until Heart Pain
First hour, he win a bit lah, $500 come in, both of them laugh until face red. Uncle say reflection really heng, confirm God give him luck. But after that ah, the jackpot machine start eating his money like got black hole. Blackjack table also like curse him; every card open bust.
His ah lian friend keep whisper, “Eh, don’t chase liao, later no more money!” But uncle stubborn like mule, say God confirm testing him, ask him put more. End up in three hours, he lose all his $8,000 savings. He even go ATM try withdraw more, but bank SMS say “Insufficient funds”.
Uncle Cry in MBS Toilet, Reflection Gone
After kena wiped out, uncle go toilet wash face, hope to see reflection again for miracle comeback. But sky turn cloudy, reflection disappear. He sit on toilet bowl, cry until mascara from ah lian drip on his shirt. Security uncle outside also kaypoh, keep peeking to see got fighting or not.
Uncle come out toilet, face black like charcoal, say “God not in reflection. God maybe in my wallet last time.” Both slowly take MRT home, silence all the way.
Moral of story: reflection maybe shiny, but don’t anyhow believe you will huat. MBS got reflection, but only casino sure confirm huat… from your wallet.
