We finally got up as the earliest ones in sharehouse before 7:30AM because we plan to go to Sydenham for the interview of a gift box operator. Sydenham is a instrial area full of factories and I feel kinda of back to the old days as I worked in Nan-Tou industrial area for 4 years. I met this manager named Gordon and he looks like coming from UK or local and he seems nice. He told me some people just get bored and left and he's looking for someone who can work faster and stays longer. I can come over to try out if I can keep pace with the machine for assembly. I imagine myself being bored but it pays fairly for $15 per hour for 8 hours a day. We then next go for claiming the money back from the Chinese agent Donnie because we all think she's a bad and lazy agent and a fraud as well. We got $300 *2 all back, fortunately. We went to "The Star" Sydney casino for its $10 AUD bargain buffet (Garden Buffet), the tag price is $29.9 for Mon-Fri lunch and it's now only third of the cost. It's my second time enjoy the treat and I didn't spend a penny for either time because Michael won a gift card worth $50 when he applied the memebership. (Lucky him) The buffet has a more extensive menu provided than any buffet I ever had in Taiwan and all of the dishes are palatable and delicious. I think I ate much more than I do in Taiwan these days and that's one of the reasons that I gained weight. Later on, we decided to delve into the field of gambling because we heard Davy, Franka and Sunny all had bit of their plays and won some. It's just tempting to follow suit. We stood there for quite some time to learn what game the casino has and rules of various games. I'm still fuzzy about the rules anyway but I do learn how to play Baccarat (百家樂) after standing beside one of the tables for a few hours. It seems there's a group of Cantonese (actaully I think half or over half the Chinese in Sydney is Cantonese) is good at playing Baccarat which I learned later on that the game is from Hong Kong. They knew how to record each result and count the odds of winner, either banker, player, tie or pair. At certain moment, the group seems all wagering on the correct bets. We followed them and won three times (minimum $20 each time, at that table) but then gave all back. I couldn't resist keep standing there and hope one more turn on the tide. I knew there's no forever winner. Before we leave, we took $20 home. It was fun and Baccarat is concluded as a risk averse game that commoner like us could opt for in casino.
