Kainan 3-6-1
Man, seems like I haven't blogged for so long, so I'll try to say what I can remember.
1. I just came back from the last game of our Kainan season. The memories of my last game in this comp hurting my knee still somewhat haunted me - I had to remind myself not to go 100% in the last game of the season which didn't matter. We had an unofficial full team - missing Gary and Jim, replaced by Mike and Carter. We did pretty good in the first half, limiting them to like 8 points, and then I told everyone to do the 1-3-1 in the second half which pressured them more, which led to a 41-18 victory. Wow.
I took only one shot, a fast break lay up which I missed after a steal from the 1-3-1 defence. After the game, Bo, Nick, Mike, Alex and I went to dinner in Flemington. I could tell Alex was trying to fit into our group, and kudos to him for doing that. I just wished some of the other guys would come to make it more of a 'team' feel.
2. I went into work earlier today to do my bail subs. I was there from 9am to noon and got it done. I did think about getting changed into my work clothes to go to the casino (as I was wearing my bball shorts) but instead made the good decision to just walk home. I told myself that last time we played this team, I was in the midst of my gambling relapse, and the little bump to my knee was a reminder not to gamble, and so I didn't want another, possibly more serious, reminder.
3. Yesterday morning I went to the park with Malay and Thai for our abs exercises. I was disappointed G didn't respond at all, but oh well. We found some keys which I took home, my plan is to put up a sign next week and leaving my number.
After that we went to the shopping centre near me for breakfast and to buy a mat. We then went home and then met up at Thai's place, initially so I could get more movies off him, but we ended up playing Capcom vs Marvel for the whole day instead of me going to work.
4. On Friday we had the work christmas party. I noticed Nunjo was out at court with LC, but did pretty well putting that out of my mind; until they returned around noon. LC is a great guy (as far as I can see) so I don't know why I feel like I have this beef with him. As I walked past her room, he said hi to me, and we just exchanged the usual "how are you going?" stuff.
I feel like I'm jealous of him because of her, yet at the same time I know I can't compete against him. How the hell do I compete against someone more senior than me and earns more money??
At the party, I was in a group with Mary, Briony, Moira and Rat, and as we moved from the outside to in, we walked past LC and I felt like he wanted a nod of acknowledgement but I just looked down as I passed. See, this is all because of her. I wouldn't be feeling this way about him if it wasn't for her. He has done nothing wrong. I guess I am just paranoid.
Also, I walked to the party with Genie, Gonaz and Nunjo. Somehow she brought up that she and Mary have joked about running a brothel, and I was like "you don't see any moral issues with that?" (I know, of all people, I'm the one to ask) and she said no, which sorta surprised me. Maybe she really wasn't a good person underneath.
5. On Wednesday we lost (surprise surprise) and I had a few fast break opportunities in the first half but missed them all. On the last of them, I tried running into the guy and stepped onto his foot, tweaking my right knee just a little bit, but that was enough to tell myself not to go too hard and to remind myself just how close I was to ending my career.
