KoSong: Luck: what wasn't meant to be yours, won't be yours

How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no

responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Luck: what wasn't meant to be yours, won't be yours

Last Saturday, my brother-in-law picked me from Kepong Sentral and decided to call my brother to join us for 'dim sum' at a local coffee shop, because he expected wedding dinner to start late, as usual. Among other things, we discussed about 4-D lotteries. I mentioned how a single digit '7' on a bridal car, could enable punters to buy '7777' and got it right. My sister and my in-law got it right on my son's wedding day, which was 6 weeks ago.

After dim sum, as we were walking to the car, my brother related a story about someone who walked into a Toto outlet first before he realized that it was Toto and he decided like always, he did not want to buy Toto. The number actually came out in Toto draw and he missed winning more than Rm10,000! I said to him that if it was not meant to be his, some obstacle would appear one way or other. Anyway, instead of sending my brother back, my brother-in-law said he wanted to buy Magnum 4-D first.

Early this morning, I got a call from him and he was complaining why didn't I remind him to buy '7777' as well! He said it came out first prize in Magnum!
