Singapore Turf Club

NOW this is one hobby i might take up when im filty rich in the future as a successful aesthetic surgeon

*dreamy eyes* ....betting on horse races!

During our Singapore trip, my uncle, mom's bro, took us all to Turf Club, supposedly only taking my dad. but we all insisted on going along too. who would'nt miss a chance to go to the famous horce racing spot in Singapore, where all the rich and famous ppl go to. maybe if lucky, can meet jackie chan, or edison chen. haha.

So the whole afternoon of 'chor yi' , we were spending our time experiencing when, what, which, and how people bet on horses.

There are a total of 10 horse races. with every race about 7 - 11 horses competing. Dad, sis, bro and i took the opportunity to bet on the horses with some tips given by my uncle and his friends. since they're the ones who can get tips from the people there. really got tips! poor public, they have nothing to rely on.

but at times we could'nt be bothered, we bet on horses by their names and colour. well, thats what me and my sis do. bro and dad will mengkaji the statistics of each horses. but every race we bet, we lost. my family has really no luck at all. sad. we lost bout 80 dollars! and my uncle's friend won 770 dollars....... =_=

anyway, i wonder why people just love to gamble.

but i do. i dont know why.

Bro, sis and I mengkaji'ing the records written to choose bet on them.

Now, we shall go to the betting counter.

Bro and I. and horses getting ready for the race.

Number 3 number 3 number 3!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaa!

despite all the shouting, look where horse number 3 is....

second place!

......

from the back.

THIS is the field where the horses walk around the field, parading themselves for the public to pick their favourites. they usually look at the size and built of the horses. means that they must be light and strong at the same time...

according to my uncle, if they never pangsai and they ate alot before the race, they usually have no chance of winning, and likewise..... so thats how they control abit of the results. more bets, more monehhhh $$$$....

and do u know why horse races cant be held during the night? its because there will be shadows, and if the horses see their own shadow, they'll get afraid and go insane!

Thats my uncle at the left most.

Blessed with money by the funny-looking-lean 'CHOY SAN YEH'.

and blessed u too!

Happy CNY!
