There Goes Another Week~

Grr, I am going from bad to worse. This time, I only update seven days later.

Anyway, I spent the entire week at home indulging myself in all the excitement generated from the VS System JLA card previews. For some reason, the daily card spoilers were enough to keep me glued to the computer every day whenever a new one gets released. The ensuing discussion that followed, be it those of my own or those on the various discussion forums, were enough to keep me occupied all day.

I looked forward to Friday when I was supposed to go to Darrell's house with Max. They were supposed to play Winning Eleven 9 and I thought of tagging along. But in the end, I felt lazy and thought that they were better off playing PS2 all night without me so I didn't follow them in the end.

I hitched a ride back home with Uncle & Auntie. Uncle almost took a wrong turn in Pasir Ris and I joked, "Are you thinking of dropping by at Burger King for supper?" To my surprise, he took my joke as a suggestion and drove up to Pasir Ris Resort. I thought Burger King would be closed since it was already 11:30 pm, but to my surprise, they close at 12 midnight on Fridays. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich (no more Mushroom Swiss; bad for the tummy) and Taro (gotta love yam pie; everybody loves yam pie... I think?). As we ate, Uncle Chris recalled that he saw a job opening posted at the GamerSquare forums. Auntie remarked that someone replied, "Sounds like you're looking for Superman" to that post. Anyway, they told me that I could try out for the job.

I checked it when I got home and found out that they were looking for Content Creation for Web & Print. So basically, they needed someone to write gaming-related articles, cover events and other kind of stuff that reporters/journalists do. I looked through the requirements and was like, "Hey, I meet more than half of these requirements. Maybe I could be the 'Superman' they were looking for." (Wait a minute, Clark Kent was a journalist, too...)

And so, I spent a great deal of today re-working my resume to match the job requirements. This is actually the first time I am keen on being hired as opposed to the "please don't pick me" attitude.
