one of the better (pool) days

went to wheelock (instead of vivo as originally planned to catch the shot due to the rain) to fix my shuffle which got corrupted somehow :(

bought an italian bmt from subway @ lido, but when i got onto 171 it was too crowded to eat. so i had it for supper instead, it was a bit gooey but a quick toast did the trick.

headed to century early, and today's just one of the days when things go for me i guess. sebas wasn't really in top of form, conceded the game early at 6-4, of which the first 8 racks were split evenly and each winning off the other's break.

proceeded to play with eugene (who's by far the most improved player at century) and was down 5-0 when he scratched on a 9. all the while sitting in my seat i knew i deserved to lose, playing the way i was and how he was playing, just kept telling myself to get 4 racks so it'll be an acceptable result (like how losing 4-7, looks better than 0-7 - its still a lose but it won't look that bad) then somehow he had a sudden drop in form too. i won 7-5 in the end, and i think out of that 7 racks, i only deserved to win 1 when i ran out from a foul after i played safe on him. the rest were strangely uncharacteristic of him.

went for dinner, sebas tried some small talk with justin but somehow it was quite quiet. felt a lil odd too. seeing how i might possibly take over from justin in a few days, and how that one stunt could possibly be the final straw that breaks the camel's back. benny was working that night, so me and sebas didn't plan to stay long, had an 8 ball game instead of the usual 9 ball.

again like the afternoon game, we split 12 racks evenly, winning on each other's break, until the last rack where i finally got the upperhand and won. which surprised me in a way. today's one of the days where i've played better pool than i can remember. not thinking that it might continue but hoping nevertheless.
