1. General. The countdown has started. Number of days til work ends: 2. Then coach IAG Camp. Whoosh... I played alot of games on Monique today at work, having downloaded as many as I could the night before. Well, at least til she ran out of battery. Tomorrow I'm gonna bring the charger. My friend Ernst started a blog. It's 
bfg-likes-cheese.blogspot.com
Go to it and call him Yao Ming. Annoy him!!!!

2. Magic, the Gathering. Didn't do much today. Here is a copy of WUPPO. White Blue Polymorph Prototype One.

4 Halimar Depths
2 Kabira Crossroads
4 Dread Sanctuary
5 Plains
7 Islands
2 Celestial Colonnade
24 Lands

2 Iona, Shield of Emeria
2 Creatures

4 Polymorph
4 Summoner's Bane
2 Everflowing Chalice
4 Wind Zendikon
2 Marshal's Anthem
4 Angelsong
2 Martial Coup
2 Elspeth, Knight Errant
4 Dispel
4 Path to Exile
2 Eldrazi Monument
34 Other Spells

I think it's ok for now. Need to playtest, then modify. Maybe increase creature count to fully utilize Polymorph. But I like the Martial Coup + Marshal's Anthem Combo. Imagine Iona on the field, then at 7 mana, Martial Coup for 5, then next turn, Marshal's Anthem kicked once, bringing Iona back to the field, then swing with the 5 soldiers for 10 damage. Not bad.

3. Love and Comedy. Here's a good one.

What can a goose do, a duck can't and a lawyer should?

Stick his bill up his ass.

1. General. Laaaaazzzyyyy..... Ssslllleeeeeeeeeppppyyyyy.... Zzzzzzzz....  Today damn relaxed man. No plans, no school, no work. Oh yeeeaaaahh... I didn't do much except read abit, help mummy with grocery shopping and chatted with Brendan on this new app called Messagenow. It's like free SMS and I can chat with other iPod Touches as well! Tonight I spent my time downloading apps. Games, mostly, but I found a Horoscope app so I got that too. Oh Jaynie emailed me. FINALLY! I met her on the TP4ME blog and since she is going to the same course as me, I asked her to email me. I have a friend in the same course now!! Yay!

Man this week is gonna be really tight. Monday to Wednesday work 9am-6pm (my last 3 days of work), then Thursday to Sunday 7am til past midnight, I'll be coaching this season's IAG Senior camp at AKLTG. I'm still an assistant coach because this will be only the second camp I have coached. My week is jam packed full of activities.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Boo hoo I can't play MTG this week. Brendan says his friend from RGS is gonna join us. Our first girl for the team! Lol. Apparently, she's a control player like me, insults worse than Brendan does and was Brendan's mentor and deckbuilder. First, I was honoured and pleased to find a fellow control player (the rest in the team are mostly aggro) and she's Brendan's mentor, no less. Then I was surprised that Brendan described her so strongly. I mean, an RGS girl with a dirty mouth? I find that hard to believe. Well, we'll see next next week.

I made a prototype for the Polymorph deck. Removed the Red so now it's just Blue and White. I call it Polymorph Prototype 1. 

3. Love and Comedy. This is a cute joke.

I used to pray to God for a bike. But then I realized God didn't work that way. So I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

1. General. I woke up this morning in Underwater World. Hafiez complained that it was too cold because the air con was blowing in his face. Lol. I felt very comfortably warm. Very nice. We got to touch a fur seal and watch a dolphin show. Those were interesting. After that we went home except for Mitch and his friend- they decided to stay at Sentosa for the day. I played Magic, then went for dinner with Uncle Van and Aunty Lee Beng and other relatives to celebrate my new one month old cousin Thaddeus. He was asleep the whole time. Lol. I'm damn tired again.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Played with Brendan, Bryan, Lloyd an Ernst today. Made some money too. My tweaked Esper deck is performing better than before. The Walking Atlas + Sejiri Steppe + (maybe) Expedition Map combo works. We played 2HG and I managed to pull it off to protect Bryan's Vampire Nocturnus from being Terminated. We still lost though. Damn. Brendan and I are working on a new American Control deck. It's got Polymorph!!! Lol after the failure with Polymorph Trap, we're making this because it has better removal. And because it seems to be more consistent. I hope it works.

3. Love and Comedy. What sound does a grape make when an elephant steps on it? None, it just let's out a little wine. Lol. This was cute.

1. General. Yes!!!! Last day of work for the week!!!! I feel good, da da da da daaa! Didn't do much today. Mostly played games on Monique till she ran out of battery. Damn. Oh tomorrow I will be going to Sentosa Underwater World for a sleepover, so tomorrow will not have a posting, as there will probably be no (free) internet access. I will post it on saturday when I get back.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Nothing much today. I decided that I'm gonna print out an organized list of all my rares and uncommons along with their prices. This will allow me to not take out my file to show people, thus reducing the risk of anything being stolen, and at the same time make it more convienient for potential customers by saving them time flipping through my file.

It's 11pm, but I'm gonna finish my WB control. I mean, finish making the proxys to playtest. If it works, I'm gonna buy the cards.

3. Love and Comedy. I found this cool joke.

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary used this creative defense: "Your honour, my client merely inserted his arm through the window to remove some trifiling items. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense commuted by his limb." The Judge replied: "Well put. Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany his arm or not, as he chooses." The accused smiled and, with the help of his lawyer, removed his artificial limb, set it on the table and walked out.

This was an intresting joke because it was orginal, not a classic, and appealed to the manipulative side of me.

1. General. Wah lau bad day today...
I got up late again (7.40am) because I ate ice cream last night and couldn't sleep, and the rain this morning didn't help either. I eventually ate fried egg for breakfast but my lip still hurt so I was slow. The root problem? I had lost control. No discipline. I wasn't supposed to eat ice cream or egg to cut my weight. To make things worse, my iPod shuffle ran out of juice, my handphone had low batt and eventually died, all the while giving problems.
This day couldn't get any worse.

2. Magic, the Gathering. Oh yes it could. Brendan just started work at Wizards Of The Coast (WOTC), the company who made MTG. I am so JEALOUS. He sent me this SMS:

Day 1 at wizards:
Brought file, traded in for scalding tarns.
Brought deck.
Played against 'experimental' decks
Did 10 mins worth of work.
Looked at concept art for ROE
Said booya 12 times.
-end entry- :p

I copied this word for word.

3. Love and Comedy. Oh this day just got better. What a perfect way to end a bad day. I'm serious, not sarcastic. We had team bonding for the coaches at AKLTG today. Alot of funny things happened. We were playing double whacko, then I became the whacker. Chuan Ley and Zhen Yu were beside each other, and the people behind them kept calling out the other's names. I got frustrated and just started whacking both of them. Everyone cracked up. Too many funny things I forget already. I was too busy laughing. I ended up with a sore throat and a stomach muscle ache.

1. General. Oh man did I get up on the wrong side of bed today. I thought it was gonna be a bad day. My lip hurt (because I bit it a few days ago), I got up 20 mins late (although I was still on time), didn't have a good breakfast (just 2 Timtam biscuits), the handle on my favourite sling bag broke as I picked it up, and my pants pocket had a hole. See what I mean? But then I got an SMS from a friend of mine, who finally made the decision to switch from JC to TP and I was damn happy. I was like yaaaaaay yaaayayayayyayayay! Lol. Anyway, I felt better after that. Amazing what a small bit of good news can do to your energy levels, huh?

2. Magic, the Gathering. I made a white-black control deck today, based of Crypt of Agadeem and the Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond Combo. I put the combo as singletons, because I could tutor them out with Liliana's tutor ability. I put 3 of her inside. I also equipped my deck with lots of removal and 2 Abyssal Persecutors, my backup plan. However, I'm not using any Vampires. I'm using Tainted Sigil. Hopefully it will be as fast and annoying as Sligh.

3. Love and Comedy. Oh I just realised I haven't done my Criteris for a while. I found out the reason for that. I lost my list. I must have accidentally deleted it from my Notes. Damn. Ah well.

1. General. There are just too many slow people in the world. You know what I think? All the slow people should keep to one side, then let the faster people (yours truly) move on another lane. Some people just walk in a horizontal row and block the whole pathway. Assholes.

I finished my storybook (Gone) today at work. I'm waiting for next book (Hunger) which will come out 5th April.

Yes! I have backdoor out of MGI Menon & Associates! I can leave in 2 weeks if a job concerning numbers is not found by Friday. I'm gonna take that offer.

2. Magic, the Gathering. I finally remember the last deck I was up against last Saturday. White-Blue allies. It was horrible.

I'm starting work on a White-Black Crypt Control deck. Based on Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond Combo. And adding Abysal Persecutor too. White will be nothing but removal. So Journey to nowhere, Path to Exile, etc etc.

3. Love and Comedy. 2 weevils were starting out their lives at the same time. By the time they died, one of them had achieved fame and fortune, successful at everything he did. The other, unfortunately, was the exact opposite, poor, ugly and hungry. He was known as the lesser of the 2 weevils.
