Wanna bet?
My family have this crazy thing about betting. We bet all the time. Like if I am wrong, I have to wash the dishes. If my bro wins, he can skip sweeping the floor. Mom and dad too bet with each other. But they are not fair ‘cos they never have to carry out their bets like, ‘Not eating dessert for one year’ kinda thing. Sometimes, we bet with our heads too. LOL, of course, none of us have to chop off the head and present it on a plate.
But these betting business is rather exciting. Just that I am not old enough for that. Like every weekend, these crazy, zombie bunch of folks will jammed up the roads leading to my house to go to the race course to see horses racing. Like duh, it is very exciting to see a bunch of animals running round and round. Then, again, who can understand these folks? They bet on footballs, they bet on who wins the badminton, they bet on every blardy thing. Good thing my folks don’t bet with real money, though. ‘Cos some folks are so bended on betting, they even bet on which spot the rain falls! Crazy rite? But in Taiping, where the highest rainfall in the country is recorded, the people there draw circles on the ground. Then, they will see which spot the rain fell first. The winner takes the money they bet.
