CASINO

my colleague had a bbq with his friends last night... and i'm thinking, wouldn't it be great to have a bbq in london right now in such great weather! *so who's going to organise one and invit me*

i wanna talk abit bout the casino issue in Singapore. I think that it's inevitable that the casino will be built. 10 years ago, it wouldn't be possible, but now, it think we have to accept the fact that it might be build. and if it's going to be built, we gotta make sure that it benefits the country.
it's natural that the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the social ill of gambling and the social cost that it can bring. i won't talk bout the social costs coz i am not a social science student. i want to talk bout the potential benefits of having a casino in Singapore in today's context.
having a casino does alot of good to the economy. *i've got lots to say bout the economy, but i don't have much time now*
but here are some things that i hope the casino would have for non-gamblers' interest.
1. a lounge or restaurant with a bird-eye's view of the gambling floor and the singapore skyline/coastline... depending of where it's built.
2. a big botanic garden that has 25% humidity and an average temperature of 20 degree. i know that i am asking alot for a greenhouse with such conditions to be built. =)
3. nice function rooms and halls. so that singaporeans can have another venue for weddings!!! *think along the line of THE CHAPEL OF LOVE in Vagas dude*
4. maybe a water-theme park will really work at a casino entertainment centre this time. *anyway, with the revenue the casino earns, they shouldn't have a problem maintaining a water-theme park*
5. blar blar blar, i just hope that the casino will be an entertainment centre not only for gamblers but for other people and kids as well. we can get them to build a bumper-cars rides, water-theme parks, chapels of love, ferry-ride... lots of stuff for us and we might just find Singapore abit less boring then.

i'm looking forward to the casino. i hope to be able to go there for coffee, drinks, chill, meals and ride on the bumper-car! =)
