Pool..... $$$



Well... today is basically pool day.... played pool at Parkway with WK,KL and ALvin... from afternoon till evening.... chalked up till around $43...

Anyway.... the photos above will be a summary.... ^_^

Just got one thing to say though.... still don't like the idea of playing according to the ranking system....

Actually... the main thing here is that....the last guy really quite jia lat.... and the lucky thing here is that... it was me lar... but that's not the main point....
The main thing is that... it is quite sad to see the last person pay... especially if he is not in good finacial condition....
For me... i'm ok...40% of the total price..... $17 is not much of a deal.... but i know it means alot to others... so i am seriously not opting for this system...

Anyway... with the money at stake... it also makes everyone so much pressurised.... and even to the extent of showing the ugly side of the human nature.... i think that seriously sucks man....

I felt the pressure myself... but i kept my cool... i just played my best.... but i detest the tension in the air.... the pressure to win.... just so to pay less....

I'm not saying this is totally not good... but it surely is not good... it just makes the atmosphere so much mroe different.... no more fun and laughter... everyone just wants to win.... and the loser dies.... pay almost half of the bill.... i don't think it's that fair either...
Maybe... if there is a better way to manage this system... make it fairer... then i think it can be used....
For now though... it is just not too fair...

*I'm not complaining though... just voicing out on how i feel... in case the next person kena...

Anyway... i think i played to my best... and quite well... managed quite abit of long shots.... i was amazed myself actually.... but i did put my full concentration into them....
3 matches of race to 5.... won 1, 5:1 against KL, lost to WK 5:1, and ALvin 5:4... had a really close match up against ALvin....
But seriously though... lose alot through giving free balls at the crucial moments....
First match was against WK.... was quite cold to the table... later stages then warm up....

Oh well.... it's the will of fate... let's leave it at that...

After that went for dinner... then went Parkway to walk around... bought a new pair of basketball shorts... the same one i had been looking for some time back... but couldn't get my size... finally found it... then buy without hesitating le...

Hmm... guess that's about all.... tomorrow planning to go swimming and gym... then at night go primary school outing...
