2284

I hardly gamble. You can say I am kia-su but gambling never excites me.

My mum is the exact opposite. I still remembered the trip I went to with my family in Australia - Sydney. My mum was so excited by the casinos that she would drag us there every night after dinner. Well, she got her way mostly as there was absolutely nothing much to do in Sydney after dinner anyway.

This year, my company participated in the Food expo from 20Nov - 24Nov. I got my mum to take care of 乖乖. My parents would bring 乖乖 to the Expo near to the closing time (about 10pm) so that we could bring 乖乖 home directly. It was a tiring period for all. By the time we got home, it was already close to midnight.

One of the nights in the car, 乖乖 started to rattle the same 4 numbers - 2284 in Mandarin continuously. I excitedly called my mum and of course, 2284 was her must-buy list for the weekend 4D.

Consolation prize - 2248 came out! 爸爸 was 机灵enough to buy a few permutations of the 2284. In the end, he won $120! My mum did not win anything. And I, of course, did not place any bets. But everyone was happy as 爸爸 treated everyone to a nice 煮炒dinner at our favorite haunt.
