I took a one-night only job at the American Club on Saturday, working for Jeryd's dad who was the event planner for an american charity function. Apparently, the americans have a different style of raising funds. Where do people lose the most money? Casinos! Ok or at least that's one of the contenders for top spot. So, they had a charity dinner cum casino, where people gambled with cash chips, but will be unable to cash their winnings, instead having to spend them on an auction at the end of the day. Not too bad an idea eh?
Anyway, I was a dealer at a Blackjack table, and I must say it was one of the most stressful nights of my life. Those who know me will know how horrible mental calculation is. For someone like me to deal blackjack for 3 hours + to a table that was constantly full of rowdy Americans. It was almost purgatory, a place to punish me for neglecting my maths in school ..
But well, it was $70 for roughly 3 hours plus work .. although it was intensive and stressful, I did have some fun, and most of the americans were pretty friendly. Halfway through the night, one of the regulars asked for my name, and from then on it became, "Come on Shaun, give us some good cards! Everybody wants to be your friend, Shaun!" Unfortunately, for them, I kept winning. Haha, I took little pleasure in that except that I didn't have to compute their total card values whenever I get "BlackJack"; I just sweep the table clean of chips. =D
Oh and yesterday I bought a baby blue t shirt from cineleisure. It features Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, and the words "Fuck You!" printed on it. Why did I buy it? Cause of Calvin I guess .. thought it was rather cool. Project Shop Blood Brothers is having a crazy sale. I bought a pair of pants for $15!
Sigh .. booking in is always a sad affair. And I'm gonna do that now ..
