Playing against my own (old) team
On Thursday night was our big game against the team I created - Shoyo. Although only Alex and Jeremy remained from the old squad, it was so big that even Jim came to watch.
I must admit, I was a little bit nervous before the game. Maybe I was afraid of losing. Maybe I was afraid it wouldn't live up to the hype. Maybe I was afraid Nick would get into it with them.
Anyway, we had the lead throughout the whole game but there were times when they made runs and gave us a scare. I actually had a pretty good game, maybe my highest scoring game of the season. I started off with a steal off Jeremy then sprinting down the other end for an easy two. I hit a jumper stepping on the three point line, and then another one where the ball actually slipped out of my hands but at the last moment I managed to recover and flick it. I did a floater on a fastbreak which came off the backboard, and I had an easy two off another fastbreak.
10 points.
I did myself proud.
Can't wait to watch that game as Mike recorded it.
On Friday during lunch, I went to the casino. I saw the guy that Misha and Angel were with. He looks so young. I wondered if Misha was around but didn't see her. I won $400 and got out.
I returned after work, and nearly lost it all. I managed to recover and left with $100.
I was panicking because I had to meet Jim for the gym. It was supposed to be at 6, but I had to change it to 6:30pm. Even then, I only left the casino at like 6:20pm and was heaps late.
After gym we went to eat at Market City, then I went home, got changed and drove out to the casino. I saw that Misha wasn't rostered on so wondered if she'd be there.
She was. This time she was with another Korean guy. He looked similar to the first, in that he had short, oranged dyed hair, but wore black rimmed glasses. I saw them sitting at a $200 table, watched them play one hand, then went to play by myself.
At one stage I went to play at Katie's table and saw Misha standing by herself with her back to the table. I sat down, and when she turned around, I could tell she saw me. She stood around to watch the result of my hand, where I lost $100, then she walked away.
I won $300 and left the table. I took a quick walk around, and couldn't see them, then I left.
