On Wednesday, I stayed home all day and then left for Orchard to meet Darrell at around 6 pm. I was planning to go join the VS Hobby League at ComicsMart (Orchard Cineleisure). I had this strange feeling coming over me; this was the third time I was going to the town area to play cards (the other times were at Raffles City). It seemed funny going to such places for non-luxurious, non-classy activities. Oh, well. I guess I am a queer. But hey, better than staying home.
The two of us arrived at the place on time. I tried to call Akira since registration was closing soon but he didn't pick up. He came right before the first round of pairings began and the organizer, Leck Koon, was kind enough to let him sign up. I was surprised to see Brainy and Chaosmag tagging along. There were 8 people, so we played 4-round Swiss and I had a 2-2 score. I'd usually write about my matches but I played against mostly friends this time so it wouldn't be fun to write about since everyone was there.
The event ended at 9 am and we decided to go have supper at SubWay. I was quite interested since I've always seen advertisements of it while riding in the MRT. Brainy told me it was mostly healthy stuff and veggies, though. I had a Meatball Marinara and chose to have minimal veggies in my sandwich. There were two fairly large cookies included with the meal, too. I couldn't finish and brought one home but it became soggy at night.
As I took the MRT home, I actually found my missing EZVideo card tucked deep inside my wallet. I thought of going to rent a movie from White Sands on my way home but I forgot it was already 10+ pm and all the shops were closed.
I couldn't get to sleep as usual and ended up sleeping at 5 am. I only woke up at 4 pm on Thursday. I have recently begun trading at VSRealms and I logged on to check my private messages. I have managed to close the deal on a foreign trade but I remembered that I had to send it before the Christmas weekend or else I'll have to wait till next Tuesday. I went to the Post Office at White Sands to purchase bubble envelopes at around 5:30 pm which was just half an hour before it closed.
After that, I went to EZVideo since I remembered I wanted to rent something the night before. I looked through the shelves, trying to find Scary Movie but they didn't have it. It took me a while to spot American Pie (1 & 2) and Deuce Bigalow. Just as I was deciding, I accidentally knocked over a VCD and it dropped on the floor. The case fell apart and the CD dropped out. I was like "Oops" cos' the store assistant was watching it happen and the stuff dropped at his feet. He just stood there and watched. I thought he would help me pick up the stuff. In the end, it was another shopper who helped me. Gee, that shop assistant was a moron. Does he get paid to just stand around? In the end, I didn't rent anything.
I then decided to go to AMK to buy card sleeves and toploaders for my trade. It was also Thursday which meant a lot of new Japanese PS2 game releases. Auntie was out of top loaders, so I had to return on Friday again. I'll probably send off the mail at the Post Office at AMK (if there is one). I picked up Neo Geo Battle Coliseum for PS2. Since no one was at AMK (it was raining and all), I decided to go straight home. Although I like NGBC, I know it wouldn't last long. Arcade fighters don't have much singleplayer replay value. A few hours of playing and I was through with all the game modes; I was kinda disappointed that they didn't add any extras. Argh, sadness.
Oh, well. That was it for my day. The next few days should be quite busy and I know I am supposed to look forward to Christmas but I don't seem to be in the holiday mood. Something is missing and I feel very bored no matter what. Maybe I am still coming out of my angst-filled phase.
