New board game / POL prices

I just played a most "bo liao" board game.

Its a horse racing board game, whereby you can place your bets on which horse will win, and let a stack of stupid cards to decide if you win or lose. (Lucks counts to allow your horse to proceed forward.)

Its the first horse racing game that a horse can go backwards!!! WTH!!

I was playing with AF, Jolin. And to those who know the 3 of us, you can guess who is the winner. (Not me, i am not a loser for nothing).

If i am playing with real money, i will be flat broke liao, competing with the horse for grass to eat, and drinking west north wind.

Hmmm.... That's why i dun gamble. With this kind of luck, i would be long "dead".

UNO and Aeroplane chess suddenly seems much more appealling to me than this horse racing board game.

Snakes and ladders, anyone?

=================================================

This is a totally unrelated post (lazy to create new post lah, a sai bua?)

Discounts for diesel prices had increase again. Back to 29% discounts after a few days of 21% discounts.

Though it is good news to me, i was still like "Wah liao, the price always not stable one."

Suddenly, the price will fall, and suddenly the prices will increase. The staff at the petrol kiosks must be very tired of changing all the signboards, especially SHELL, which displays the prices outside.

Its like stocks and shares. The only different is that you save money only when the price goes down, the other way round.

I am being like a stock broker. Higher discounts then top up diesel for my van, or topping up my van even though its still quite full. Hey, you never know when the prices will go up.

And i have developed the bad habit of slowing down when passing a petrol kiosk. Just to take a look at the discounts and the prices of diesel. (Not to buy 4D!)
