Tell you what? Buy her an iPad ... give her generous amount to play high stakes mahjong online. Ayaw lag katingala kon inig pauli nimo angtod ang imong makaon. Hehe ;) And you should be thankful wa masunog! ;D

Yep. Noticed that in many Asian old ladies while riding buses, sitting in parks, etc. ::) ;)

Excellent tips from a silent observer. Hehe :) ;)

But has happened more than once ... babies&toddlers died ... left in cars during summer while mothers go inside the casino to gamble. :(

Me no compulsive gambler. Learned my lesson in my early 20s ... played mahjong 24 hrs nearly every weekend for more than a year ... strip ratio 4:1 ... lost 4X more than won ... hehehe ;) Promised myself to stop. Go to floating casino with balikbayans and gambled small amounts only very occasionally.

Only for the last 10 odd years been playing high stakes in casinos ... more exciting ... can't bring money into next life, anyway.

What really need is a smart young wife ... earner&saver ... not liberal spender ... take care of my money ... make it grow.
Be a fulltime houseband ... look after kids ... gives her more time to pursue her career. For me, more interesting than gambling.

Gambling machine a lot smarter nowadays ... equipped with camera to remember players ... linked with other machines ... perhaps, also with other casinos ... and even online. :) ;)

Shana Mooyman

PerthNow October 9, 2014 3:40pm
Kate Uren


Petite and pretty, it’s no great surprise Shana Mooyman worked as a model when she was a teenager. What’s not quite so obvious is what she does for a living now. The 24-year-old drives great hulking trucks and excavators — with wheels taller than she is — at an iron ore mine in the Pilbara.

“I’m used to people literally laughing when I tell them what I do,” she says. “They don’t believe it.”

Shana has been a FIFO worker for six years. She’s employed by mining services company Watpac as a mobile plant operator in Nullagine, two hours north of Newman. And her motivation is unambiguous — her wage of close to $150,000 a year is double what she could earn in Perth.

“You put on the high-vis and put your hair back and you do it for the money,” she says.

Despite her young age, Shana already has an impressive property portfolio. The latest addition is a top-floor holiday apartment in the tropical Queensland resort of Yeppoon. She also owns two houses — one in her home town of Bunbury, another in Baldivis — but doesn’t live in either of them. Instead, she and her partner, Matt Lewis, rent a room at a friend’s home.

But she is also acutely aware of the sacrifices she makes for that big pay packet. Her 12-hour shifts for 14 days in a row followed by a week off has taken its toll. Shana missed her own 21st birthday — along with countless parties for friends and other special times.

“You do miss out on a lot of events,” she says. “Then you’re only home for a week and to fit everything in and to fit everyone in, it’s busy. Sometimes you just want to sit back and do your own thing. You make these choices and I wouldn’t take any of it back because I do have these properties. I paid my car off in the first year — $20,000 in a year. I was loving it.”

Shana had started studying at TAFE to be a beauty therapist but shelved those plans when she realised how little they were paid. She picked up work as a promotional model, got a daytime job as an administrator and worked nights at a tavern in Bunbury.

Then a friend, who was working FIFO, introduced Shana to mining. Back then, companies were taking on “greenies” — those with no experience. With only her manual licence needed, Shana learnt to drive mining trucks “with wheels that were bigger than me”.

Initial plans were to be a FIFO worker for a year.

“I said I would do it for a year and it’s well past that now. I don’t want to be in mining forever. We’re setting ourselves up now,” says Shana, who is studying for a diploma in safety so she can expand her options. “I still don’t know what I want to do. I don’t want to be an operator for another five years. The problem is if I was to come back to Perth, I would easily be halving my wage.”

Mark my words, skipper, should Felix land on a mining job here, mamuti na lang ang iyang bol2x, he'll still be at it.
Having so much money, gonna have a spendthrift lifestyle.
Towards the end of a contract, he'll promise to himself, "Should my contract be renewed, I'll have a 2-month break and cruise Europe on board the Queen Mary with Kim Kardashian as my travel companion". Hehe ;) Not to mention that during week-off, spend the time in Bali having top-of-the-range Balinese girls to entertain him.

Difference between then and now is the FIFO. Mine workers won't be spending a very long time in the mines.

Ay,nako! Ang sarap ng buhay. :) ;)
Especially having Shana Mooyman as his workmate. 8) ;)
