Phu Son Nguyen's Journal and Portfolio: Gambling? Games?

Gambling? Games?

This quarter is finally over! Time to play WoW 24/7! :smile: Actually I've played WoW less than while I was still in school...kinda funny.

I went out with a few of my old high school friends last night. We had dinners at Fukuya Sushi in La Verne and it was quite good...a bit pricy for the portions they serve though.

Then Kim decided it was an excellent idea to persuade Son to go gamble with Omar and Pablo at the Hawaiian Garden Casino!! Thanks KIM! Hahah I actually gave in after 5 minutes of persuasion!!! I was going to go home and level my character for the upcoming raids too... :lol:

Well anyhow, I went gambling at a "card club"/casino down in lakewood with Pablo and Omar. That place was cleaner than what I've expected. Nonetheless, there are so many wierd people there...a lot of asians...mainly Vietnamese...

There are some really wierd, old, and hardcore gamblers there. I feel so out of place. But anyhow, Omar, agained persuaded me to actually sit down at a Texas Hold'em table. He let me borrow 20 bucks! Hahaha I had 10 on me but I didn't want to use it all. So I only put down 20 to play with. There wasn't a buy-in or anything, one can stand up and sit down and start playing anytime. It was quite different from what I am used to.

Anyways, my stack of 20 chips slowly decreased as the hours went by. Suddenly, there was a change in the dealer, and this time around, noticeably, I have gotten much better hands. After a few rounds of good hands (four of a kinds, straights, and full houses), I've bounced back up and double up my starting $20. My stack peaked at around 45 bucks at most. Anyways, to make the story short, I stopped myself when I started losing again and came down to $30. I stood up and walked away with an extra $10 and I was happy man. :lol: I just got my dinner paid for earlier!!! So sweet!

I had fun...it was an interesting experience, but I really doubt that I will go there again. I don't think I can ever be addicted to gambling like some people. Moreover, we all did ok coming out of it. After the gambling, Pablo took us to where he works and we played Halo on the computers for the next 2 hours. It was great fun teaming up 2 versus 1 against Omar in the last hour! :lol:

And that's that for my night. Didn't get to play WoW until like 4 in the morning!

Darren, tell Denise that I said thanks for showing up on WoW on time at exactly 8:23 and 56th of a second! Sucker!...I mean...err...that's great! :smile:

Darren: I wasn't making fun of Denise...DUDE! I was seriously applauding her punctuality! I think that it was cool. I didn't think anyone nowadays would actually listen to me for even once...

Oh the part about the hot bartender (man...she was something) has to be omitted! I was sinning way too much already with the gamblings!!! :lol:

Derek: That's right...that's right...hahaha...naw girls are problems!!

David - December 16, 2004 09:02 PM

Strip clubs? Nah, I'll stand outside and hold people's jackets. Unsuspecting people who think I'm a saint, but in reality I'm grabbing the spare change they leave in their jackets. I'll have to get in shape, too, so I can run fast.. it's just a necessary precaution, you see...

Son - December 18, 2004 04:28 AM

Hahah David...we will tie you to a chair and make you sit through it!!!! :twisted:

Darren - December 18, 2004 06:52 AM

hey now, no tieing brothers to chairs and making them sit through stuff...it could eventually lead to *looks around* "animal sex".

Son - December 18, 2004 10:52 AM
