So much Johanna...

So much has happened over the last week or so, I'm not sure if I can recall everything but I will try.

Sunday 12/7/15
I know I had promised myself not to contact her and to just disappear after returning to Japan, which would also mean forfeiting my $5,000 but something happened that meant I couldn't resist.

She had called me from a landline number, probably to see if I had blocked her number or something since my old phone is mostly switched off. Anyway, I googled this number and surprise surprise, it told me the name of the person it belonged to AND the address. Wow, I wasn't expecting that.

It was some Asian name, and I called it and a man answered. I did a search on facebook and got the profile of some older, fatter Asian bloke posing in a sports car in some sort of car show. That was enough of a circumstantial case for me. I was pretty sure now that when I had previously dropped her off at the Crows Nest address, that it was a man, and not a woman.

I sent her a photo of the bloke and went to bed.

Monday 13/7/15
In the morning I sent her a few quick and blunt messages, saying I wanted my money back by Friday. Not really sure why I was doing it, because I was pretty sure I wasn't going to get it back anyway. Worst thing was, this felt like the whole Jin saga all over again. Only a re-visit now truly gave me an appreciation of how stressful the whole thing was, and that was part of my earlier decision to just forget about it.

At night we texted each other. Basically she wanted to meet up and explain, but said she would give me my money back. I wanted to meet up there and then, but she said she was sick. I eventually pushed her to agree to meet, and I drove out to Burwood, but in the end she said she didn't want to come out.

I sat in my car and we had this long phone conversation, with me basically yelling and scolding her for cheating on me. She tried to explain it away, saying the guy was nice to her, and how she had met him last year, and that she enjoyed spending time with his son. Anyway, we agreed to meet the next day for her to give me my money back.

Tuesday 14/7/15
I met her at lunch time in Martin Place outside the Channel 7 building. I had been trying to think of a strategic route to take back to the office so she couldn't follow me, and I also wanted to wait from a distance to see if she'd actually come.

She was there. I saw her walking by herself. I crossed the road and met her. The first thing I asked was where was the money. I felt like a triad member. She said she would transfer it on her phone there and then, and asked if I wanted to hear an explanation. I just said I wanted the money. She began logging in and asked me to input my bank details, which I did.

She tried to explain and talk, and asked me how much I knew, and I said I knew enough. She finished the transfer and showed me. I logged into my account on my phone and saw that indeed the transfer went through. I started to walk away when she grabbed my arm and started crying. I was conscious of people watching and went up close to her and told her not to cry. She turned her face away and sobbed. I told her this was all her fault and her doing. She didn't want me to leave so I just said we'd talk later.

I walked back to work, going through various buildings and various paths, through to Woolies where I got something to eat, and then went back to the office.

It felt weird to have my money back, but lose her. I felt...empty. It was almost like I didn't even want the money, I just wanted her and I wanted everything to be alright. Was this a realisation that money doesn't buy happiness?

I started feeling sad because I had lost her. At the end of the day I texted her telling her she needed to choose between him and me. That night, the balance of power had shifted - it was almost as if I was begging her to come back.

Wednesday 15/7/15
At lunch I went to the casino, mainly because I just felt like it. It was a bit quiet and not many people were playing at the $10 tables. I didn't want to play because of that, but ended up playing anyway. It was dangerous, because not only was I by myself, but I wasn't in the best emotional state.

I went to a table where the dealer was a bit of an old guy, and looking back, he may have been a supervisor acting down as a dealer. We had a bit of a chat, mainly because he was talkative, and then there was a dealer change where the younger guy was even more talkative. I told him I broke up with my girlfriend the night before, and he probably thought I was there to dump all my emotions out on the table, which I probably was.

But I still had enough sense to leave with a bit of gain.

I could see Julie working at the computer roulette. It seemed like we were both just looking at each other from a long distance. It was a good reminder that not only were there other girls out there, but girls who seemed much more suitable to my personality.

After work, I went home, got my original stash of $2000 and headed back to the casino. I won a bit again and then decided to go for a punt after finding someone on Wechat. Turned out to be another dud, an older lady using photos of a younger girl. What a waste of $250.

Friday 17/715
Bush cancelled the dinner in the morning, which kinda freed up my evening.

In the end, I met up with Johanna. I was planning to drive her to Bankstown to eat buffet, but on the way we were talking, and I asked if she wanted to be together, and she said she wanted to be alone. I turned around and dropped her off at Burwood where I picked her up.

In the car, she sat there and said she would be going back to China in two days. I said it didn't matter anymore, and then she left. As I drove off, I saw her standing at the corner looking at her phone, seeming a bit lost. I felt sorry for her.

I had driven more than halfway back before thinking too much and calling her. I asked if she was really going back and she said in a few weeks. We ended up meeting again as I drove back to take her up on her offer to buy me something to eat.

We had Meet Fresh. I showed her my photos from Japan and it seemed like we had lots of laughs. I walked her back to her place, and she said she didn't want to have to introduce me to her friend she was staying with, so I left before her friend came down to get her.

Saturday 18/7/15
In the morning I went to the city for a shoe raffle. I didn't get the red pair of 11Lab4, and with the Jordan 7 I got picked at the very end and there were only size 12s left, si I didn't buy anything.

I went to the casino and won $500. I went back home to sleep, and then played basketball at night. For some reason my legs felt really jumpy, I even touched the backboard a few times and grabbed a really high rebound over Tristian.

Sunday 19/7/15
I went to the casino in the morning before basketball. I think it is a sign of desperation for the casino, but they only had the $5 tables open and the $25 table open. No $10 tables open, so people were forced to play either $5 or $25. Rationally speaking, there is no incentive to play the $25 table as the $10 table already has the single zero and so playing the $25 has no added benefit. Further, the maximum bet on a $25 table is $250, whereas the maximum on $10 table is $200, so it limits to potential to martingale the shit out of it.

I gave in anyway and played the $25 table. Boy did I play tight. Sat out a lot of spins, and pretty much won most spins, I was up $900 and then decided to leave.

In the afternoon I met up with Shuing, Elle, Eva and Colin for a talk about property investment with Elle's friend Ardella. It was pretty interesting, even if it was just to know how you needed someone on the inside to make good money.

After that we went to a restaurant for dinner. For some reason nights out with Colin always end up with him swearing - loudly.

Next dealer? / Misha

On Wednesday after work I went to the gym for the second day in a row, and bumped into Jim at the end. We had a bit of a chat, and I thought about hanging around as he had done the same when he arrived at the end of my gym session before, but I decided to go home because...I wanted to go to the casino.

So I went home, got changed and headed out to the casino. I didn't realise until I got there, but it was game two of State of Origin. I usually try my best to avoid the casino on busy nights like these, but I was here already. I looked around to make sure no one I knew was around before deciding on a table.

I played at a table with a bulky dealer. I was losing at first, but then luckily it landed on 1 when I piled it on. This brought me back to a bit above my starting balance. Then there was a dealer change. It was the girl who I had seen around a few times, has a bit of a sexy aura about her, but I can't decide whether she's good looking or not good looking.

She was being a bit playful with the guy dealer as they exchanged shifts, and she seemed rather voiceful when she was working, like yelling to the other dealers and the supervisor. Part of me thought maybe she was doing it to get my attention.

She asked me if I was ready before she spun, and I told her not to wait for me as I didn't bet on every bet. She said her spins were short so there wouldn't be much time to place bets.

Other than that I didn't really say much, mainly deciding whether I should leave with my gains and also the fact that I didn't want to lose in front of her. I noticed that on at least two occasions she was looking at me. One time, Iw as sitting down, and she had spun. I felt like she was looking at me so I looked up, and she was! She sort of gestured to ask if I was betting, and I just shook my head and smiled.

Shortly afterwards, one of my earlier decisions had been made for me - there was a quick dealer change, and so I took that opportunity to cash in and leave with a $300 gain.

I don't know why,l but since that time, she has left me with quite an impression. I think I'm in the familiar early stages of developing a crush on her. She seemed like the extroverted type, which would totally suit me.

On Thursday night I had basketball. Tristian, who had been with us for about three weeks now, asked me for a lift but I made up some sort of excuse as it was really out of my way. In the end he got a lift from Mark.

I realised I had a slight disdain for him, and wondered if I was a closet racist. Did I not like him because he was white? Or...was it because there was something odd and dodgy about him? For example, on Thursday he asked me to cover for his post-game meal, saying he would transfer me the money, as his girlfriend took his card with her on holiday and he had no cash. So I thought, yeah alright.

He said he would transfer it that night, yet I noticed later on Saturday he said he transferred it on Friday night.

On Friday after work I met up with Thai, Malay and Brain for dinner. We went to Newtown to try this chicken place, which turned out to be a pub. It was a bit uncomfortable because we didn't have a proper table and sat in their waiting area eating on a really low sunk couch.

I gave them all their presents I got from Tokyo, and I was surprised Malay really liked his custom shirt as I feared he wouldn't like it. What I enjoyed the most throughout the night was Thai's input on the Japanese culture, as I was now very interested, being fresh from my trip.

At first he didn't seem to say much about it, but as the dinner went along, and while we had dessert at Max Brenna, he spoke more and more about the Japanese, and I would learn bit by bit of what they were like.

On Saturday morning I went to library guy's son's birthday. It started at 11am and I got there at 11:30am, thinking it'd be a safe delay, but nope, when I arrived there were plenty of kids but no one I knew. Library guy was busy running around, and so I occupied myself with eating. Shortly after I recognised a guy ("Thai") who I had seen at John's house a few years ago so I went up and talked to him.

After a while John and his wife arrived, and they were my safety, as we talked in a group. We talked a bit about their lives, my trip to Tokyo, how I had decided not to go to the bar, and work. I think I may have made a bit of a bu-bu when John walked away, and I said to his wife "John travels quite a bit doesn't he?" thinking she would've known about his international trips but not quite what he gets up to. But her response was "not really, only when he's with me..." which made me stop. Ok, no more lol.

John and his wife left at around 2pm and I left shortly thereafter. As usual, I felt a bit like the odd one out, being the lone guy who didn't have children or even a girlfriend. Hmmm.

After that I went to the casino, and saw Jenny working as one of the promo girls, though I don't think she saw me. I was only planning to win $200 but got incredibly lucky and won $720. With that amount of gain, I got itchy and thought about visiting my old haunt to see Misha or maybe seeing Lisa.

I didn't know how Misha would reach when she saw me. Would she refuse to see me? I decided to try it out first, and if she refused, then I'd leave and go see Lisa. Hell, I wasn't even sure the shop was still in existence as I hadn't been there for so long (it seemed).

I drove there and parked, and went ino. The receptionist was the nice softly spoken guy. I asked if Misha was working and he said she was the only girl available. I thought it was a bit sad, how a few years ago she was the hottest thing supporting the entire shop, and yet when she got older and younger talent came along, she was the only one no one wanted to see.

The guy waited for payment and I gave it to him, thinking how he'd have to give it back if she refused to see me. I sat in the waiting room wondering if she could see me via the cameras. After a bit, the guy called me out and I saw her standing in the hallway as usual. She was smiling. She said "long time no see".

I was in the excited "I returned from Japan" mood and played along. When we went into the room, she again said long time no see, and I told her I came back from Japan last week. I started showing her the photos and she soon had my phone in her hand, flicking through the different photos from the very beginning.

We sat there and talked, and I thought this should all last a good hour. I wasn't intending on having sex, I kinda just wanted to see her and talk about my trip. However, it seemed that I may have taken one too many photos, as the hour was up before we finished going through the photos. She asked me to extend, and I did, so I paid for another hour.

When she came back she said something about how there was a customer she didn't want to see. We laid on the bed, resuming our photo browsing. Although in the back of my mind I knew all this was fake, I was quite impressed with the amount of detail she was going through. Like in one photo, she actually spotted a small dot in the sky, enlarged it, and asked if it was a UFO. Then in another photo, she noticed that I could be spotted in a reflection off the glass - something I had never even seen before, despite having looked at all the photos several times.

On top of that, we had lots of laughs. She would laugh at all the photos of the rubbish bins I took, and at some of the photos I was in, especially the ones where I was in the jail hospital restaurant. She laughed so loud at one stage I wondered what people outside would think.

We finished looking at the photos and then time was up. There was no mention of gambling or how we had ended our last session together. She asked me to bring her the cat from HK as I was leaving.

I rushed home and got changed, then went out to Saturday basketball. I spoke to Daniel about Tristian, and he said Tristian hadn't paid the game fees for the last two weeks. He too had some suspicions about Tristian. I was glad I wasn't being paranoid.

Afterwards we went out to eat as a group as usual, and Tristian tried to ask me to cover for him again, but I said I only had $10 which I paid to Daniel and I needed to go to the ATM. So he didn't end up ordering anything at the restaurant but kept saying he was going to get a hot dog afterwards. So at the end of the meal, I paid $20 thinking that was it, but I was given $10 change. Then at the hot dog stand, Tristian asks to borrow $10 from me. I couldn't say no as he had seen me get the $10 as change.

Then I had to drive him home which annoyed me even more. I had a big talk about it to Daniel after the game.

This morning I went to the casino before the basketball game at 12. It was maybe around 10am. There was one crowded table, and the table next to it was empty though it looked like one guy was buying in - perfect. I sat down, and realised that the guy had bought in massively. It took a while to count all his money.

I then bought in with $800 and watched the dealer give me like one and a half stacks. I was about to tell her she was wrong when I looked up at the table and realised it had become a $25 table!!!

I didn't say anything, trying to act cool, but thought "how the fuck am I supposed to win now?"

Maybe it could backfire on the casino and you win more? After all, you've had practice before playing with $25 chips.

Ummm ok. Just don't do the colour/columns or the big/dozen strategies.

I sat there with my chips, scouring the scoreboard noticing there had been a lot of 0-3 sections. I waited for it to hit that section two times in a row. I realised that with $25 chips I was now gripping onto my chips more tightly, more willing to be patient to wait things out.

When I bet on 1-2 section, I won. I was up $150. I waited again, and on the next 1-2 bet, I won again. I was now up $300 and wondered if I should leave. Part of me didn't want to leave because I didn't want to appear to be a cheapo (stupid I know).

I waited things out again and bet, and lost. I bought in with the rest of my $1200 and continued playing. It again landed in the 0-3 section, and now it was four in a row. Surely it would land in 1-2 soon. I piled on and it landed on 33. I looked and saw I had two straight ups, and two splits.

OH MY GOD YES!!!

How much is that?

Who the fuck cares? Just cash out and leave!

So I did. I cashed out. The pit boss was like "already?" and I said "breakfast money". The dealer, a girl with short hair who I think is a lesbian, said something about it being a big breakfast.

I walked off, calculating my win to be $1400. Fuck me dead.

I walked around the casino a bit before leaving for basketball.

We won, but while I was on in the first half, we lost our eight point lead, and I was partly to blame, giving up two fouls which included an and-one. But also, bloody Quan was taking stupid ass shots, and I realised he was hurting how my play would be perceived.

Anyway, after the game I went to Macca's with Kevin, and we talked about Tristian the whole time. He had felt the same suspicions, and said Tristian had told him that he gambles at the casino. Uh-oh. We talked about all the odd things with Tristian that didn't make sense. He even wondered if Tristian even lived in the apartments where we drop him off, as no one had ever actually seen him go inside or come out.

Anyway, after that I did some grocery shopping, then rushed back home to go out to pick up Eva. We went to Chinksford where we had dinner with Elle, Colin, Shuing and Malay (who left before dinner). We had a good time, and it was good to see Shuing laugh a lot at dessert. I think laughter is the best medicine.

Last day in Tokyo / Return to Sydney

On Tuesday it was my last day in Tokyo. It's pretty unbelievable now to be blogging from home about it, knowing just earlier this week I was in a totally different country. I packed up my stuff in the morning, then had breakfast down in the hotel lobby, and then hung around my room for a bit.

I left my stuff in the lobby and then headed out for one last trip. Of course, it would be in Akihabara, where I had decided to try the Home Cafe, but I couldn't find it. I walked around for ages and because of the limited roaming data I had, I had severe difficulties finding it. So in the end, I just went to the AKB48 cafe.

It was a little disappointing, because it was quite empty. The waitresses were dressed in short skirts being some kind of uniform, but the food wasn't that great. There was just no 'maid cafe' experience to it all.

After that I decided to return to the hotel a bit earlier to finally call it goodbye. I retrieved my stuff and caught the metro to the closer station to the Narita airport line. I then bought a ticket and changed lines and caught a train out to the airport, filled with sadness.

I arrived at the airport and the familiarity instantly struck me. I could not believe I had arrived here feeling so new and foreign, and yet now I had gotten the hang of things - somewhat. I exchanged some money back to AUD, had something to eat, sat around reading the Jordan book, and then checked in.

I hung around the gates waiting and playing Anipang 2 on my phone - thank god Waiza had lent me his power bank. The flight back was relatively pleasant - no one seated next to me on a three seater, so I got to lie down to sleep.

We landed in Cairns at like 4:30am and I had to find my way to the domestic terminals, which was a bit of a walk. Surprisingly, it wasn't as cold as Sydney. The next flight back to Sydney was for four hours, and again no one seated next to me.

When I finally landed, I managed to meet up with my dad pretty quickly. I was surprised customs in Cairns had let me through without checking my stuff merely because I claimed I had nothing to declare. I mean, I didn't, but I was just picturing the embarrassment of when they found my porn DVD.

I ended up having yum cha with my parents in St George. I was pretty tired but also excited to tell them about the trip and show them my photos. We then went home, I shaved my head, had a shower, and headed out to, you guessed it, the casino. It wasn't because the urge was there, but I just figured it would be my last day of freedom without having to go to work so I might as well make some money out of it.

I initially won $720 and left. I had decided to end things with Johanna by disappearing, mainly because when I checked my phone at home, there were no messages from her. No follow up to my last message of "I will miss you". No happy birthday message. No when are you coming back message.

Anyway, because of that I felt free again, so I decided to go for a punt. I used Wechat to look for people, and ended up choosing a girl because she charged the lowest ($250). It was an apartment near my old work place, and when I went up, the door was already open, which was a bit strange. A hand gestured me in and when I went in and had a look, the lady obviously did not look anything like her photo. She quickly closed the door before I could change my mind.

Fuck it, just get this over and done with I thought. The whole thing was disgusting but I just needed to get out of there. The deed was done quick, and I showered and left. I needed to get the bad taste out of my mouth. What I really wanted to do was find a Japanese girl to talk to about my Tokyo experience.

I had decided on the shop called Ginza, which is known to have Japanese girls. I walked there and stopped midway for a kebab. The sole Japanese girl available wasn't to my liking, so I ended up choosing a Singaporean girl called Lisa, who looked a bit like a devilish version of Eva.

We got along pretty well. She apparently works at DJ as well, and is doing this for money for studying. She asked me what I did and I lied and said accounting. Weird thing was she asked for my first and last name. And I stupid gave it to her, though I doubt she'd know how to spell it.

Anyway, after that I had the urge to get my money back, so I headed back to the casino. Even though it was a far walk. Even though I risked losing everything.

So yes, I went back and played again. This time I won $640 and left, caught a taxi and went home. That was a very good lucky result.

On Thursday I returned to work. Nothing had exploded or imploded, though Gabby did do some stuff for my case while I was away. After work I met up with Yvonne to give her the water bottle. I only charged her $30 for it, even though it was a bit more. I was a bit annoyed that she was sick and still wanted to meet up. She was like, really really sick, coughing up mucus and shit. I needed to get out of there. But what annoyed me even more was when she mentioned that the water bottle was sold in Sydney, but she only asked me to get it for her so she could save $30. All this time I thought she asked me because it wasn't sold in Australia. Fuck.

I checked my phone when I got home, and Johanna had sent me a message in the morning, asking me where I was. I didn't reply.

I went to basketball at night and after our game (we won) Jeremy asked me to do duty for his team. I reluctantly agreed, because I wanted to go eat with the guys. There was a girl from the other team doing duty, and near the beginning she said something about how it was so cold. I said it was, and that I had just come back from Tokyo. She told me she just came back last week, and so we started talking about that. I felt like we really hit it off. She even collects sneakers. Of course, the big elephant in the room was her boyfriend on the other team. She mentioned him once, as they went to Tokyo together, but I just pretended like nothing. Not that I thought about anything anyway, but I think people definitely noticed us talking and laughing.

On Friday I woke up with a massive headache and a runny nose. Thanks Yvonne. I contemplated not going into work but had a meeting in the morning. After that I thought about going home but decided to stay.

After work I met up with Jim for dinner. Initially I cancelled it saying I was sick, but he said he had a strong immune system so we ended up meeting. I picked him up and we went to a restaurant nearby in Glebe. I wanted to talk about Tokyo but he seemed more interested in talking about the trip to the US in December. I can't believe it's been booked and that I have already paid half of it.

I gave him the Slam Dunk towel I bought for him in Tokyo. He seemed to look at it with curiosity.

On Saturday I slept in and bummed around at home before going for a jog in the park near me at around 11am. It was still way too cold. I ended up keeping myself entertained by jogging behind a chick, just to see if I could keep up with her. She was pretty much running my pace anyway, though towards the end I sped past her and finished with my usual time of around 20 minutes.

After that I went out to the casino. I sat at a table with a weird looking dealer who seemed to look at me every now and then. I noticed that there was a hot looking chick behind him before realising that it was Summer. I stayed long enough for the shift to rotate and she came to my table. I said long time no see, and she said they had her working at baccarat, which she didn't like because it didn't involve much movement.

She asked me about my HK trip, which was probably the only thing she could remember about me, but I was pretty sure we had talked about it before. I told her I had actually just came back from Tokyo and she seemed interested, though we didn't get to talk much about it because some Asian guy sitting next to me decided to chime in every now and then.

We talked a bit about Thailand as a holiday destination and she said she didn't like Bangkok because of all the prostitutes. I knew that by talking to her that I was distracting myself. Indeed, I was down $600. It was only on a lucky spin when it landed on 34 where I had two straight ups did I catch up and was up $120.

The Asian guy and I talked a bit and turns out he plays basketball too. He showed me a photo of him and a former Lakers player, but I recognised Daniela from the photo and inadvertently pointed her out. He played on the same team as her at KGV. I then began wondering if I had blown my cover. But then again, was it such a big deal? All he saw was me playing about $120 per spin. He was betting around the same amounts.

Anyway, I decided to call it quits with the $120 gain and left. I was also late to meet Ele. How I thought I could make it to Burwood in 15 minutes from the city was beyond me. It would be funny if Johanna saw me there, I thought.

I was about 40 minutes late to meet her, which I felt bad about. Anyway, we ended up meeting and having coffee at that Korean coffee shop near the station where Thai, Malay and Brain and I had been a few times before.

I told her about Shuing having cancer, and she was shocked. She wanted to see him the next day. I talked about my trip to Tokyo with her and she seemed interested. I also gave her the foldable bottle I got her from Tokyo.

She told me about the business she started in China. It sounded like she was doing well until a big company came in and took a lot of the business. She also told me that she got sacked from her job, and was really upset about it.

I tried to comfort her by telling her to look at how lucky she was to have her family and health, and in the process revealed that I had been unhappy. She guessed the reason was because my life just seemed to consist of work and gym and basketball. I said it also had to do with not having a girlfriend. She said I prioritised basketball too much, and never spent enough time finding a girl. She was right.

She ended up calling Colin and got him to come over, but I had to headed to basketball. I met Colin briefly, and they both tried to drag me to dinner but I really had to go.

That made me late in picking Daniel up for basketball. It didn't help that he had asked me to pick him up from a different address. Anyway, basketball was ok. Didn't think I'd get into it because it was so cold but I went alright. I gave Danile his wristband, allowing him to choose the colour. I also gave Kevin his Steph Curry key chain. I couldn't give anyone else their present there because Derek and Tristian were around, and I didn't get them anything.

After basketball we went to eat, and Tristian asked me to cover him for dinner and said he'd pay me back later. I was like, alright, but then after dinner Daniel wanted a hot dog and Tristian wanted one too and asked me to pay for that as well. When I dropped him home he said he'd come to basketball the next day to pay me, even thought I doubted it. Oh well, $30 is a small price to pay to find out if someone is trustworthy or not.

When I dropped Danile home, he surprised me by giving me a birthday cake. I felt really grateful for it, as no one else had really seemed to acknowledge that it had been my birthday.

Today I went to basketball to play for Richard's team and we lost by three points. I felt so bad. Was it because I was now used to winning? Why did life have to be viewed from a win or lose perspective? I got all philosophical with myself to try to explain the way I felt.

I went out to the casino and played on a table mainly by myself. I wasn't really making any progress, just going up and down, before making a small win and getting a gain of $200. Some dude had joined in and was betting on about 30-40% of the numbers, and he lost every spin. He kept pulling more $100 notes to play, and kept losing. It was enough of a sign for me as I knew how that felt and I didn't want to be him so I cashed out and left.

I went to Bondi to get new car seat covers and a steering wheel cover, then went home to wash the car and install all the stuff. I didn't think I'd like it too much because it was red and black, but it actually looks pretty good, like real sporty.

I had messaged Coco to see if she would come watch Terminator with me, but she said she was watching it with someone else and asked where my Korean girlfriend was. I was annoyed because she had initially set aside today for my so called birthday dinner, and told me to leave it to her to organise, but Yvonne was sick and G was going out with a girl. It just showed me that she didn't really work hard enough in organising this, and now had made plans when she said she had been free. So I ignored her and didn't reply.

I watched the movie by myself anyway. I thought it was ok, but the cinema was kinda empty. Emilia Clarke is pretty hot, but she is also quite short.
