Yup! Melbourne Cup is today...
As per my last sponsored post on Chinese are avid gamblers..., I did have a bet on one of the horses, called "Doura Valley". Not that I selected it but more of picked it. Aiya.. Efficient won lah... This Doura Valley not even mentioned at all!!! But I have to say that Efficient was very good. In the last few seconds, he accelerated and over-took the initial race leaders. Read it here, if interested. But the bet was only RM 8/- lah. But the winner (in our ladies' group) gets about RM 100/-. Had the Melbourne Cup Brunch at a friend's house this year. No need to dress up etc.
Unlike last year, whereby I went to the Champagne Charity Brunch at the Marriot. Had to get a hat and all. Last year, my horse got SECOND! Thrilled lah... This year, really "sai pun boh".

Already say he's Efficient then you go pick a horse with the name of a vineyard.

haha, that's because this year you no need to dress up- so no winnin lor. last year's winnin paid for your hat and all.
next year, dress nice nice and go, sure win. don't forget the hat ok.
Sometimes, it is more fun when you don't have to dress up. Once you dress up, you have to behave a certain way, thus inhibiting your real self.
So hor, no sai also never mind, got fun right? :)
I remember Melbourne cup day when i was working in Perth. We all dressed up, hats and all even to go to the office,and were all in the office lounge drinking and watching the race on TV! Fun!!
G - aiya... told you didn't SELECT the horse already leh. When pick the horse, kenot see horse's name one lah. :-P
Shern's Mom - No lah. Last year's winnings also not that much. Cannot pay for the brunch, dress and hat also.
Judy - True. True. But dress up with hat also quite fun. How often does one get to wear a fancy hat in this part of the world? But of course if got winnings MORE fun. Hee :-)
SAHM - Yeah. Think it's once in a blue moon of dressing up, drinking and watching the race and betting that is fun! Cause if do every other day, then it'll be boooooring.!
sounds like you had loads of fun :-)
Sting - Yeah..it was quite fun...
