After the form was sent out, I waited in anticipation and kept wondering if this was the right thing to do. I wondered too how long it would get back. I waited for a few weeks and it seemed that I wouldn't be hearing any replies. In fact, I had totally forgotten I had sent it out in the first place.
About 4 to 5 weeks later in the afternoon, I had a surprise I because I had received the envelop from Marie Callas. It was her reply! I was quite ecstatic. I looked through it and smiled wryly because I knew what to do next.
The next day, I proceeded to the lotto counter near my house. You can say many Asians are habitual punters and gamblers so do I. You will be surprised gambling industry is big here in Malaysia whether legally or illegally. I never had much luck with the numbers before in fact. Every week, I bet in several local lotteries hoping to recoup the losses I have accumulated over the years. It is a sad state because people know it is bad to indulgent in such activities yet many continue to be stuck in this mire. My current financial situation can be partially attributed to some excessive puntings that is why I clang on to the hope Marie Callas had given me in her letter and I hope she would be someone to change the bad luck.
