::it all ends here::


lets start from the beginning of the story of my life as a poker player........ when i started out poker, every1 depise it and looks down on it..... its not a respected job..... i was one of the pioneer in poker, and i loved poker, fell in love with it, love jobscope tht comes along with it, etc etc..... being the pioneer n one of the few professional poker player around at that point of time, i felt like i'm the ambassador for poker players. it doesnt matter what others think, but thts how i felt. i wanted people to know what are poker players made of and so people can respect the job.

and so, i started to be showey to people around me. well, to be honest, i guess now people generally accept whats a poker player and what they are made of. whether or not its because of me, i dont know. of course, the methods i used, might not be the most tactful. i guess the fact tht i am direct as a human, and thinking tht u know, i'm still a kid, like i was 22. blogging bout my poker career since then till now.. it started with a measely income of 3k.. till it became 5 digits per month... it didnt feel much to me, but perhaps for most, its jus pure arrogance as it is quite an absurd amount of money and it has always been my style of blog since then. i guess, along the way, i was doing so well with everything that it manifest my ego to a big one.

and i always believe that without ego, u cant achieve far in life. perhaps the fine line is to have ego, but not arrogance. but drawing the fine line requires experience. and i'm learning to draw it.

anyway, back to the topic. today, i feel like, well.... i'm ending it here......... no more bragging bout poker or what a poker player is unless asked upon........ hung out with the super rich(not the super rich's sons)........ and i realise something....... they are chill people, tht relax, gamble and bet 50 dollars only for fun. they arent even showey. humble is key. and i'm glad i've someone of that caliber to talk to and advice me on things like these.

i guess and the fact of how i screwed it up so badly with this girl i liked alot, it has taught me to relook in my life...... and i'm glad it screwed up to a certain extend, cause now i can be a better being....... lets jus say, she is 1 of a kind in my eyes......and i learnt some very valuable lessons.

okie, goodnight folks!
