Gambling

This time yesterday, jacke, ronald n i were in the car, drivin home from Linda's place. We went out for dinner at the Riversdale Hotel Bistro. I dunno much about bistros, but my perception of a bistro is much like a pub, dark, alcohol, big hairy men. No no, this one isn't like that at all. I saw a lot of old ppl, as in, retired, enjoyin life, walk with a cane kind. I would say apart from my group n the staff, the average age of the customers is 45. Probably higher, but i'm just guessin. The Pokies is just next door, so i saw some slot machines from where i seated. The bar is still there, but there was no one sittin at the bar with their drinks. The whole place was brightly lit, not as dim as i have imagined.. AND, you queue to buy food. Yep, how weird is dat?? No one takes your orders from your table, you queue up to order n pay for food (beverage to be ordered from the bar) then look for a table to sit down.

Jonathan, or "Ke Leng" as we call him, brought us here. For those of you not familiar with the Hokkien language, "Ke Leng" means Indian. No prizes for guessin dat right. ;) His fren works in the kitchen, so he basically brought us here to pay his fren a visit.. *sweat* We paid 15 bucks for 2 jugs of coke, n i paid 25.90 for my steak, salty, if i may add. The texture of the meat was good, there were some burnt parts n the sauce was salty. It was a so-so meal, too expensive for the quality we're payin.

After the meal, we headed to Linda's place for poker! More accurately Texas Hold'em. My 1st time playin this game, our capital was 21.50. Capital amount was alright, since our normal mahjong capital is 65 bucks, with the occassional loss of more than dat amount in the last few games. Not me lar of course, i don't suck dat bad in mahjong. But in this Texas Hold'em, i must admit i was a bit nervous. Bf Jacke, Ronald, Jonathan, Yoon n i played. Linda was supposed to finish up her 3000-word assignment, but i doubt she even touched her assignment last night. hehe We started at 11:30pm, n the game ended close to 5am.

It's hard playin with them, perhaps it's becoz i'm not familiar with the rules or even the skill of playin the game. Jon was unwilling to lose, no no.. That's not wat it is.. Jon wanted to win, to maximise any winnings he could squeeze out of us. Ronald was blur as usual, just following the flow, ppl play, he play, ppl don't play, he don't play. And adding to that, he drank alcohol more than all of us, downing at least 2 glasses of reds, n a Tiger, i think. Very unusual of Ronald, if u ask me. The time we were at April's house for the 70s party, he got pissed (angry, not alcohol pissed) coz the host persuaded him to drink! O_O Anyway, Yoon was rather vulgar the whole night, jokingly dissin off Jon for not playin n Ronald for playin. haha It was funny, but it wasn't really fun. Jon's attitude in the game, was like.. real gambling, not playin for fun with money. I know Jacke was alright, couldn't even catch him bluffing when he did. hehe

I played for fun, to me it was just passing time. It didn't matter if i lost all 21.50, we were just hangin out as frenz. At the end of the game, only Yoon lost. :P Jacke won about 3+, Jon won about 7+, Ronald broke even, n i.. Smart Mz.. Guess how much i won?

drumroll plz..

A GRAND TOTAL OF 80.. CENTS..

haha, good huh? 80 cents in my 1st game, i'm so proud of myself.. keke Although there was once i lost around 200 on Carribean Studs at the casino. That was my worst. I don't gamble very often lar, i'm not a gambler, okay? Don't worry my frenz, this is controlled gambling.. My loss at Carribean Studs kinda started with my winning at other tables, more than wat i lost, so i didn't really lose much of anythin.. Except for sleep, coz i was kinda like.. playin Carribean Studs at this hour too.. hehe Okay, enough about me gambling experiences, i'm off to bed, it's my bed time now.

Adios amigos~ Tata ^-^
