CNY SARANG GAMBLE

OK..admit it. Who hasn't buka sarang gamble yet this year? CNY and gambling comes together like bread and butter. Maybe the gambling bit came about after everyone's done with the greetings, drinking, eating 'kam' etc and then they sit around having nothing to do so people start playing cards and mahjong. Or perhaps because of the ancient story of how the people stayed in because of dragons outside so they keep themselves occupied with games. Or maybe because Chinese just simply love to gamble. Popular games for CNY:
1) CHO TAI TI
2) BLACK JACK
3) VOMIT
4) MAHJONG
5) DOMINOES
My cousin's husband from Hongkong taught me another game - card game years ago, that's pretty cool. It's called SPEED. The game came about I think during the time when the movie was out. Objective is see who finishes his/her deck the fastest using one hand only. OH WELL, HAPPY CNY AND GAMBLE AWAY!
