As usual, while I was munching down my breakfast today, my mum would religiously kick-start the day by telling me the all the “interesting” headlines from the papers she read yesterday.

Blah Blah Blah.

Normally, I would do the bo chap routine - “arh - arh. really? oh..OK”, and I would continue sipping my hot milo. But today I congratulated her for hitting my hidden spot when she mentioned that there is only one winner who won the 6million TOTO by quick-pick yesterday. I got high instantly. But bo bian, I still have to maintain my sian early morning expression. If not she would babble on more and more with greater zest and enthusiasm.

LUCKY ASS

And so I begun my agony of thoughts with bittering envy on why a person can be so damn lucky to win $6 million over night. I would imagine he can be the unluckiest person in the world since the day he was born, until yesterday - the day he won the lottery. Now, everything is paid back in full and alot more. I wonder if he managed to sleep that night. You know how folks always say how certain events can change a person overnight. Obviously they know what there are talking about. My influx of creative hormones begin to form ideas on what he might possibly do with the 6 million dollars. Sorry, or rather, what I would do with MY own 6 million dollars. Many things I would want to do.

Hereby, I praised myself from being such a imaginative and prudent person when it comes to money.

I remembered reading a psychological report somewhere about human behaviour especially after winning a sudden windfall OR dealt with a major disability (etc; blindness)

1) If the individual is a unhappy and discontented person - 6 months after winning the lottery, the initial excitement of winning will pass off and he would still remain as a unhappy and discontented person.

2) If the individual is a happy and upbeat person - 6 months after a major disability, the initial shock and depression will pass off and he would still remain as a happy and upbeat person.

I thought the study is quite interesting. You see, any major events that happen in our life may change the our external context dramatically. In the end, the closest values that root within our character would always remain unchanged to guide us.

I hope the winner do some donations.
