I am sitting in the dim-sum restaurant just a few metres down from the Hellenic Centre. I overheard a member of Full Tilt staff say it was the only decent place locally so I figured, if its good enough for Ivey-et-al, it’s good enough for little old me and my laptop. I decided I would sit outside for two reasons:

Firstly, I don’t want Michael Craig to think I’m stalking him as he has been more than friendly all day and I want to leave him be with his colleagues.

Secondly, it’s a really nice warm evening and I would prefer to eat al fresco.

Low and behold… an internet signal. The restaurant has its own Wi-Fi so I took the opportunity to tell my girlfriend Michelle about my ‘bustedness’ but also how much I enjoyed the day. She seemed more disappointed than me and I realized how well I was taking my defeat. Its funny – I am not beyond a wee temper tantrum when I lose a $50 game online (that’s not exactly true, my threshold probably extends to multiple online defeats in a row before my toys are thrown) but yet I was unperturbed at being eliminated here. Maybe I’m growing up or maybe being in ‘real company’ forces you to take it on the chin with some grace. Anyway, from there, I ate my prawn toast, squid satay and duck with hoi sin while typing some more blog entries.
