Mid-Week Report & Outing

Quite a number of things have happened recently. Some are rather trivial or insignificant but I'll just blog about them anyway.

- The package that I have sent to Canada for an overseas card trade during Christmas have finally reached the hands of its recipient. That's around 10 days, including the various public holidays. Hurray. That is one good trade reference for me at VSRealms. I now look forward to doing more online VS trades.

- Recently, Priston Tale is having a stat reset event. I remembered how disappointed I was when I missed it last year (my character build is somewhat screwed up). Even though I don't really play PT anymore, I found myself obligated to at least update my character once in a while and keep him as proper as can be. So I guess I'll be playing a bit of PT this month. The problem was that I left my computer to download the client and after it was done yesterday, they released a newer client today. Doh~

- I have been spending most of my time watching the Densha Otoko TV series. It is a great show and I have been impressed, wowed and touched by it. I am near the end so I guess I'll blog more about it when I am done. It is an incredible viewing experience and deserves more than just a one-paragraph mention from me.

- I've managed to win a $10 ComicsMart gift voucher for participating regularly in their VS Hobby League events in the month of December. Jess won $30, though and I am kinda jealous. It would've been me but there was one time they forgot to count my participation. Never mind, I guess I'll just try again next month. I don't want to sound like I am a petty person.

Anyway, speaking of ComicsMart, now it's time for a regular post.

I went to Cineleisure today to play VS at ComicsMart. I met Jeffrey at Somerset first and we went to have our dinner at the nearby food court. We both ordered from the same store which served various kinds of omelette. They didn't have the chicken omelette so I ordered the noodle omelette. Jefrey had the omelette carrot cake. It took nearly ten minutes to cook but when it was ready, I realized that the noodles were wrapped inside the omelette. I am an omelette nut but I was disappointed when the omelette was tasteless and the noodles were ordinary.

We went straight to ComicsMart after that. Along the way, someone tapped our shoulders and we were surprised to see that it was CKTeacher. We were surprised that he was going to ComicsMart, too. He said that the school he was teaching at was just nearby and his car was parked near Cineleisure. How convenient.

We reached ComicsMart at around 7 pm and Jess arrived. Leck Koon was there as usual and when he saw that there were only 3 of us, he remarked that it wasn't enough. In the end, his colleague joined us to make up numbers. We played 3 rounds and everything was over by 9 pm. When it was all over, I was tempted to ask everyone to go to Subway for supper but no one wanted to grab a bite. *sigh*

As we left, there was a Cheers nearby and I remembered that I needed to buy the Priston Tale daily card if I were to start playing again. I approached the cashier but he didn't know what the heck I was asking for. In the end, I just left and on my way out, I saw a Priston Tale poster right next to the doorway. Stupid cashier people.

I took the MRT home but I still wanted my Priston Tale card. I ended up making a stop at Tampines to visit the Cheers there but it was a waste of time as they didn't have it, too. *sigh* Since I was there, I decided to go buy some ice-cream at McDonald's. I tried out their new Flavour Burst cone which was rather huge. It started dripping all over my hand and I almost couldn't finish it. After that, I just went home. Oh, well. That was it for the day.
