Gambling ends at 28
On Saturday morning I went to the gym. The plan between the guys was to meet for dinner that night because Shuing is flying to the World Cup on Tuesday, however, I suggested meeting up earlier because I had nothing else to do. I really couldn't see Nabi again because it would be too weird to see her so soon.
G hinted some dissent to meeting up earlier, so that never happened, which also meant I had nothing else to do. So you know what monster comes to play when I have nothing else to do? That's right, I went gambling.
I withdrew $400 and went. I was up $80 on the first spin, then managed to lose it all betting in the wrong sector when 19 came up THREE TIMES IN A ROW. Before that, the dealer had been alternating between sectors pretty well, and here she was, when I wasn't betting in that sector, turning up 19 three times in a row. That killed me.
My mindset before that was, I would have enough money to see Nabi three more times after my payday on Thursday even if I lost it all. And, I thought it would be a nice time to stop gambling at just before I turn 28 so it would be a hallmark thing and make it easy to remember.
So there you go, despite the fact that you can't trust an addicted gambler, here I go again: I am never going to gamble at the casino again after turning 28. Besides, after Nabi leaves, I don't intend (although this may change later on) on seeing any girls on a regular basis like I did with her. Therefore, I will have much more money to pump into this credit card.
It's kinda funny, because earlier in the year, my goal was to clear my debt by my birthday. Now, with my birthday coming up, I am somehow in the same situation I was in the midst of my gambling addiction. Hmmm.
After that I caught the bus back home, had a bit of a nap before meeting up with Malay at his bus stop. We caught the bus out to the city, and I told him about the awkwardness Brain brought to the lunch on Monday. I came up with the conclusion that Brain just never brought anything to the table, he wasn't a contributor. Take our bbqs for example, he just NEVER brings anything. Why the hell not???
One interesting point Malay noted was that whenever he has dropped off Brain at his place, Brain has NEVER thanked him. Very interesting.
We got some small stick foods from a Korean corner store once in the city, and then went to meet up with G and Shuing. We went to dinner at Superbowl near Chinatown. The main topic came out to be Brain's social awkwardness, which turned into the butt of most jokes for me. I didn't like to, but I guess I was still blaming him for making things hard for me on Monday. I did tell myself to hold back at times though. Ripping on friends is not a good thing.
We also talked about Linda a bit, not sure if she'll ever escape our conversations, lol.
After dinner, we went to check out the movies and ended up watching The A-Team. I wasn't really into it, I would've preferred Robin Hood, but they seemed to prefer The A-Team. It was a lot better than I had expected (maybe because I didn't expect much). It had humour, action, and a pretty good story. I think I'm halfway onto becoming a Liam Neeson fan. I never knew he could pull off a macho role like that, but he did it and he did it with style.
After that, we decided to watch soccer, and went back to Shuing's place with some chips and drinks. I was cheering for Ghana only because I wanted to see Australia lose. It was a good game, but I didn't think Kewell should've gotten a red card for that. Hell, I don't even think it was a hand ball.
It finished pretty late, and I ended up getting home at about 2:30am, even though it didn't seem that late.
Today, I went to the gym again. I nearly had a mis-step on the stairs which made me kick it, and I felt a bit of pain in my right knee - a sore reminder that I was definitely not ready to even run yet. It still feels loose, but since yesterday I have started doing five minutes on the bike just to re-strengthen the knee. Oh the agony of going through all this again~~~
I then went home, had a shower and went out to the office. My goal was to get a brief done. I've handed in 13 to Alanna now, so I'm pretty much done for the month, but I just thought I'd stay ahead whilst possible.
I ended up getting one done surprisingly quickly. It was just one folder with everything well prepared, nothing missing. I did it in about two and a half hours whilst listening to Recovery, which I think is a record for me. I remember Rat saying the faster she has ever done one was four hours.
After that, I went to a couple of cake shops to window browse for cakes that are nice but small enough to take to Nabi. I think it'll be a hard challenge to get a fucking cake in there without the guys seeing.
I then went home and met up with Malay to check out his electric polisher. It was pretty cool indeed. He wanted to wash his car but I didn't want to stay too long. We ended up having lunc at the corner store. I just had a small seafood salad because my mom had made me some food at home. I think I got a little bit sick towards the end of it.
I had a huge nap earlier. I've been sleeping and waking up thinking about Nabi. Uh-oh.
