Don’t ever step into MBS or RWS again. Stop the gambling habit, or call 1800-6668668 for the National Council on Problem Gambling to exclude yourself from the casino.

Be patient bro, I believe many bros have also been in a similar position as you. Do not give up, and cherish the ones around you. There will always be a road out. I know because I have also been in very deep shit before.

There should be a 8 days discount and about 5days program for her sentence. Bro, do me a favour.. Would like to know about the life in women prison and share with the readers. Can contact me after she’s out? Thanks

Those young boys made a worse mistake compared to you.
One of the key thing in happiness is being contented in life. As long as you are still healthy without any long term medical condition to prevent you from enjoying the basic things in life, you CAN be happy.
Hope you can overcome this “debt” monster soon … take care
贪婪是人类的天性。因此，不管是凡人还是圣人，都无法彻底根除自己贪婪的心理，无法抑制自己贪 婪的天性，无 法消除自己贪婪的念头。 所有事业有成和事业成功的人物，都必须要有适当的企图心或者说是贪念，毕竟，激发出人类原始的 本能才会推动 人类社会的进步。因此，适当的贪念可以成为一个人事业进步的助推器，也可以成为一个人获取幸福 生活的原始动 力。
问题是如何把自己的贪念保持在适当、 健康和能够自控的范围之内？这是非常需要加强个人修养的。有的人追求的是钱够生活就好，太多的 钱反而会成为 一种负担；有的人则追求财富的无限化，哪怕是“路有冻死骨”也无动于衷；还有的人会用强烈的自 控能力来克制 自己过多的贪念，让自己生活得淡泊恬静。
一个人如果过于贪婪，就很容易被他人利用。作为一个商人，如果贪心不足，那么他在商战中很快就 会败下阵来。 作为一个官员，如果贪无止境，那么他的政治前途也将要丧失。所以，就算是很聪明的人，往往也会 由于贪欲不止 ，只见利而不见害，结果是利益没有得到，祸害反而先来临了。

Chapter 4.1: ‘Yard’ Time
“A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life, and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it, and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first pot, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked, “Tell me what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied. She brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they got soft. She then asked her to take the egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to smell and sip the coffee. The daughter smiled, as she smelled and tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, “What’s the point, mother?”
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity- boiling water-but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water they had changed the water.
“Which are you?” she asked her daughter. “When trials and adversity knock on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?”
Think of this: Which am I?
Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a passive heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside, am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart?
Or, am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavour. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you become better and change the situation around you.
When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate to another level?
So readers, how do you handle adversity?
Like the CARROT, the EGG, OR the COFFEE BEAN?”
A new day begins in B4, dayroom 3, cell room 629. The morale between me and all my roommates had been established well. As we are all in the same ‘communication channel’, there are no agreement and conflicts between us for the past 1 day lock-up. And this is a day which we are waiting for as there is a 1 hour ‘yard’ activity for all inmates in dayroom 3.
The ’Yard’ room, which is located on the same storey shared by the 3 dayrooms. Inmates from each dayroom will rotate and take turns for ‘yard’ activity. 1st batch will normally start immediately after breakfast.
Announcement had been made through our cell room’s intelcom informing us to get ready for our ‘Yard’ soon after our 9am muster check. The cell room’s door opened 5 minutes later and all the inmates (except those who have reported sick) in dayroom 3 were gathered and headcount by the cookies. One of the house rules is that inmates are not allowed to wear their shirts during ‘Yard’ activity and we are to proceed to the Yardroom without our shirt on. I can see all sorts of scars and tattoos on the inmate’s bodies! Within 5 minutes, we’ve reach the entrance of the Yard room and as usual, we striped ourselves for checking before we enter the Yard room.
Yard room is about the size of 2 basketball courts (More description on Yard room can be found on chapter 2.3). In Yard room, there are one basketball court and a sipat tecok court. Slip-on shoes for exercise, Water cooler and toilets are also available in the Yard room.
Once all inmates (about 120 inmates) are ready and had assembled in the Yard room, we will need to do body stretching led by a cookie first. Once stretching are completed and permission to proceed are given by the prison officer, inmates who are required to shave will proceed to the shaving area while inmates who want to exercise will proceed to collect the socks and shoes at the shelving near the entrance. Hair cutting, fingernails cutter and newspaper are also available for the inmates. House rule for ball games: inmates are only allowed to play basketball with the duration of 30 minutes and another 30 minutes is for sipat tecok. Both courts are not allowed for games at the same time.
What is Sepak Takraw?
Sepak takraw,or known as kick volleyball, is a sport native to the Malay-Thai Peninsula. Sepak takraw differs from the similar sport of volleyball in its use of a rattan ball and only allowing players to use their feet, knee, chest and head to touch the ball.
I spent my first day of Yard walking and observing around. I can see inmates jogging around the courts, inmates doing push-up and sit-up, inmates reading newspapers and inmates from all races and ages playing ball games together.
I can also see inmates sitting at corners, chatting with each others. Unlike the past, inmates nowadays no longer challenged each other using their secret society backgrounds. Most of the inmates will just approach to each other for chatting without minding each other background.
I walked to the notice board which is also located in the Yard room as well. I can see all the house rules and regulations in hardcopy attached within. There are also posters informing inmates about upcoming events and the ones coming soon is a cooking contest and a art design’s contest among the inmates which is organized by Yellow Ribbons and sponsored by other communities. The most important for all inmates for references is the P.S List on the notice board. This P.S list will state all inmate’s ID Number and which prison officer are their P.S.
Note: P.S is inmate’s officer-in-charge. Inmates are to approach their P.S for personal issues and assistances.
After done reading through all the notices on the notice board, I walked to the wall near the toilet and try to view the outside world through those tiny holes on that wall. I can only manage to see some blocks of ‘condominium’ just opposite B4 and nothing much. I was curious as I thought it is impossible to have residents staying nearby CPC. So I approached some LT inmates for information.
Later then I found out that the residents staying in those blocks of ‘Condominium’ are actually the ‘Prison Officers’……..
