6 Feb 10

1. General. I just watched Final Destination 3 again for the 2nd time. I'm very upset now. I dunno why I watched it, I mean, it's not as if I LIKE to watch people die. I guess I just wanted to feel miserable. Ever felt this way? Heh, I'm weird. Anyway, it worked. Too well. I'm too upset to continue blogging so I'm gonna stop here.

5 Feb 10

1. General. Snooker by myself again. I got 5 points. Potted all the red balls and a green but touched the black and pink, so my points were erased. Man I'm getting worse at this game.

Today there was a sort of mini lucky draw. Well, more like a sure win lucky dip but I don't know who the sponsor is. I have a strong feeling it was my boss though. Kinda makes sense.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Today was the release of Worldwake and it's also Kenta's birthday! How coincidental.Yay Mr Kng has gotten our Worldwake boxes!!! Meeting up tomorrow at my condo to play sealed deck I think. I hope I get Jace again. Oh Mr Kng spelt my name with a T (as in Westly) so now I'm gonna spell his first name (Andrew) as Androo, curtesy of Brendan. Lol.

3. Love and Comedy. Lol today I was listening to the Mr Brown podcasts on YouTube. Some of the old ones like Kill Mosquito and Army Language. Damn funny.

4. Things I've Learnt. Okay had a meeting with A group member today about Technical Analysis (TA). I hafta do the Uptrend and Downtrend presentation again. Sigh. Once I start my course in TP, I'm going into News Watching and Economics, both Micro and Macro. Sounds like tough subjects but I'm interested. I will put in good effort to learn and master them.

1. General. Okay we couldn't find the Snooker balls AGAIN. Somebody keeps taking them!!! Grr it's so frustrating too because we can't complain- the balls don't belong to us, they belong to the company and any employee has the right to take them. Grr. I just wish they'd put them back in the room. I mean, we don't even see them playing at the table at lunch! If they can take it from the room to play, why can't they put them back??? Sigh.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Woots! Made a sale today! I'm so happy. I sold both my Jace, the Mind Sculptors because I can get them later at a cheaper price. Thi means I've covered myself for the Worldwake Pre-release AND profited off it.

3. Love and Comedy. Okay joke time. My bro Mitch got his iPod Nano and took a video of me while the recording mode was in X-Ray. Basically, it's just a negative, not really an X-Ray. Duh. But anyway, he called me a dumbass and I said: "like you so smart," an he said yes so I said: "Mitch, if you were smart, you'd be a plant." It's not what I said that was funny, it was how I sounded in the video that sent us both into peals of laughter. Man, that was good.

4. Things I've Learnt. Okay coach training dates have been released. 22nd, 24th, 25th and 26th of Feb, all 6pm-10pm. This is gonna be FUN!!!

3 Feb 10

1. General. Ok nothing interesting happened today other than talking to Brendan about MTG. We couldn't find the Snooker balls to play with so we just walked around and talked. The current score is 1-0 with me losing and 2 draws.

2 Magic, the Gathering. Brendan and I talked alot today. There is a Grand Prix in KL this coming March and we are VERY interested. We were discussing the best way to get there, and came up with going to FNM Constructed as many times as possible to quickly rack up player points and get a pro point. Next, we discussed decklists. Brendan was talking to one of the pro MTG players this morning on Twitter and he was shown a combo. Lotus Cobra + Ruin Ghost + Tideforce Elemental = infinite landfall triggers!!! I immediatly thought of Rampaging Baloths, Admonition Angel etc. But the best one I thought of was Hedron Crab. Insta-win!!! Brendan and I each came up with a decklist for Bant Mill based around this combo. Now I'm gonna combine the two. The biggest problem: cost. It's freaking expensive!!! BOP, Lotus Cobra, Clariant Ultimatum and fetch Lands!!! Ouch.

3. Love and Comedy. Okay today nothing funny other than Brendan and I playing Jock Impressions again, so I'll release on of my Criteria for a Girlfriend. In no particular order, just a random pick. So without further ado, here is...

Part one of the Criteria:
Okay she's got to love herself. Self-esteem is very important. If she can't love herself, how can she love me? This trait is reflected in the way she carries herself, takes care of her hygiene etc. The way she speaks is also important. I mean, as long as she's English educated or speaks naturally without the Singaporean accent and doesn't speak singlish, I'm fine with that. Of course, if she speaks singlish on purpose to make a point or tell a joke then that's fine. Duh.

4. Things I've Learnt. Okay not much learning, more self improving. I continued drafting my testemonials for my IDA Scholarship and it's coming along nicely, if I do say so myself. I also cut down my list to prioritize. Mr Lak, Mdm Soh and Adam Khoo will be my top priority to get out and I'll leave Miss Siow and Conrad as backup, in case I can't get testemonials from the first three.

2 Feb 10

1. General. I'm so proud of myself today. Not only did I stay awake for the whole journey to work, I managed to work till 9am before having my usual morning coffee. Yay! Go me! Even my working rate didn't slow down at 4.30pm. Brendan had lunch with his mum so I played snooker by myself. This time I challenged myself to score as many points as I could in half an hour. I managed to get 15 points. I could have gotten 18 but I touched the green ball by mistake. I did manage to pull of a red-black-red consecutively for 9 points.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Okay I started work on my Ally Mill deck. Gonna rename it to Millies. Not to bad. Although I'm still 16 cards short, I can tell it needs card drawing. So I'm gonna put in Sea Gate Loremaster and Treasure Hunt. I have 62 cards and a 22 land base. Will replace 1 islands and 1 plains for 2 Celestial Colonade. If I can get them.  

3. Love and Comedy. Okay as I said on my chatbox, I will reveal one criteria on my checklist of girlfriend traits each day- IF I have nothing else to say in this section. But I have an Epic Joke of the Day! Okay after work Brendan and I went down to wait by the car for his mum. She had given him the keys to unlock it so we went to clock out first. We started talking about MTG in the lift and subsequently switched to playing Jock Impressions, where each of us sniggers stupidly at what the other said. Anyway, we were hanging around the car sniggering at each other when Aunty Josephine came out. She asked why we weren't in the car. Brendan and I looked at each other, realised we had forgotten that Brendan had the keys and started sniggering again. As Brendan pulled out the key, Aunty Josephine said: "Dingbat" and that made us snigger even more! Lol that was epic.

4. Things I've Learnt. I learnt that work would be very boring if I did not have Monique and Brendan and Snooker.

1 Feb 10

1. General. Woah my energy carried over from yesterday so even though I slept at about 12.40am, I stayed awake the whole time in Aunty Josephine's car!! Yay I should open up Jace more often then got energy. I still had my usual coffee which made me hyper. I slowed down alot towards the end of work though. No more energy and I almost fell in the MRT. Fell asleep and almost lost balance. How embarassing. I lost in Snooker today against Brendan. He just managed to pot the red ball at the last minute, if not we would have drawn again.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Like I said, energy from Jace carried over.

3. Love and Comedy. I'm so not in a funny loving mood today. I've got a headache now.

4. Things I've Learnt. I didn't learn anything new today except how to validate and account for Credit Memos.

31 Jan 10

1. Oh happy day! Oh happy day! I'm so excited I keep making typo errors. Okay okay cool down... Breathe... Relax... Lepak... I'll explain why in Magic, the Gathering.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Whoo!!!!!!! There aren't enough letters in the words "euphoria", "elated", "overjoyed", "happy", and "excited" to describe my euphoric elation and this overjoyous, happy, exciting time!!!!!!!!! I went to the Worldwake Pre-release today at Suntec Convention hall. Ernst was supposed to come but he couldn't make it. So anyway I entered the tournament ($40) and we all swapped decks until I got Jace, the Mind Sculptor AND Day of Judgement!!!! I made a simple red-green aggro deck and ended up winning 2 and losing 2. Ergo, I got 6 points and won 2 Worldwake booster packs, which I saved to play Pack Wars with my bro. Anyway, I managed to trade of my rare Vampires for Wrexial and 2 copies of Jiwari Shapeshifter. Yay! On hindsight, I should have played red-black or black-blue. I'm glad i didnt though because maybe this was a blessing in disguise. In the booster packs I had won, both had MYTHIC RARES!!! How cool is that??? If i hadnt lost, i would've won 4 packs but lost the 2 Mythics. Now, why were the Mythics? An Avenger of Zendikar and a SECOND COPY OF JACE, THE MIND SCULPTOR!!! Omg this is my lucky day!!! And I still have 1 box coming in on Sunday. Holy crap!!! I'd better stop now and sleep if not by the time I do, it'll be time to wake up for work.

3. Love and Conmedy. Wow there was this cute girl on the MRT. Bob fringe, ponytail to shoulder, lithe and petite. That was cool. She fits the Appealing category of my checklist. Too bad I won't be seeing her again. Ah well.

4. Things I've Learnt. I did a presentation on Uptrends and Downtrends instead of the Crucial Conversations today. Daddy helped alot so it wasn't so bad. Yay!
