A Hella Weekend for MTG

Hi Everyone,

I know that I have not been blogging personally and just for work, and finding things to do that are more productive. I have been slacking and there is absolutely no excuses over it. I have been playing and thinking about things that I have no control over and thoughts about falling in love with well the game that made me almost gave up my "O" Levels and falling in love then and now the same thing happens all over again after nearly 15 years ago.

I SOLD my entire collection because of the need of money for my MLM, and in turn earned the money for my ex-girlfriend's gift, I have come back to the game about half a year ago in the Rise of the Eldrazi expansion back in Zendikar Block. The likes of Jace The Mind Sculptor tormenting Standard. Now the same thing has happened to this Innistrad Block. Snapcaster Mage Tormenting Standard at the moment, but not as much as Jace TMS. Oh well there was a joke about Jace TMD, I mean TMS...>_<

We were playing Standard Constructed before being engrossed in Drafting last weekend. This was the schedule of Drafting...

New Years Eve Overnight (New Phyrexia) Draft - Roy, Derrick plus Jason(Me)
What I got (Worth Mentioning)... Foil Sword of War and Peace (Woot!)

GH Afternoon Draft (Innistrad) Draft - Roy, Fei, Derrick, Mark(GH), Sky plus Jason(ME)
What I got (Worth Mentioning)... None of I remembered Off Hand...

New Years Day Overnight (M12) Draft - Derrick, Louis(GH), Fei, Patrick, Sky plus Jason(ME)
What I got (Worth Mentioning)... Phantasmal Image, Dungrove Elder, Grim Lavamancer

Overall I remembered that I had well...Took money for all 3 drafts and it was really fun although I had lost all 3 drafts to pretty good deck drafts. The reason to my losts were the failure to draft good creatures as well as the failure to predict cuts and power spells. The previous drafts back in Jcube which resulted in I won a Snapcaster as well as the Garruk Relentless in prize was a example of a clearheaded strategy with cleancut no cuts.

This is an example of being smart and being outwitted by smart....LOL...

Hope to learn my lesson in terms of drafting through experience an hopefully by dark ascension I will have better intuition to combat my opponents no matter in limit or constructed.

Woot!

I miss you...I really miss you... I miss the times that we argue with each other with broken english... I miss the times that you win using japanese which I am terrible at... I miss the times that when i sing you complain about the noise in the studying area... Although I may tell you that I miss the times...you will never read this blog anymore... I wish that there is computer in the place that you are going... I wish that there is somehow I can contact you after you are gone... I wish that somehow you can still use your broken english to motivate me.... I wish that there is perhaps you will become the angel to help everyone in the world.... Angel... May I call you this in the future... The ears that cannot hear anymore... The heart that cannot beat anymore... I did not write my blog for a while... I didn't know what to blog.... I didn't know what to write... Everything seems to be so bad.... The number in my handphone now call to static... Grief... I am forcing myself...

Well, what can I say. When I say that heaven is unfair to me for a certain thing in my life, it return to me in another way. I said that, "Heaven! Why are you so unfair. When people can earn so much in their life and I only earn such pathetic peanuts". The remark must have alert some kind of detection sensors in heaven and send a message to whoever is in charge up there. They return to me something incredible. Which is a very simple thing really, and that is "The Opportunity to Learn". How many times I will skim through a book and then evaluate it with the very least information i got from the skim saying that it is good or not good. How many times I was recommended a book but I didn't bother to look for it. How many times I was taught something but I didn't bother to think about it. How many .... How many .... Too many! Nowadays a good book which is worth reading is worth a million dollars. The information is worth a million dollars. The ideas and philosoph...

I discovered that this is the seventh entry to this blog. Double-O 7, sounds so James Bond haha. Another day passed without any real happening event. However there is some things that is worth remembering and also some ideas that might be useful in future. Met up with a senior director of a real estate company which happens to be an semi-professional photographer. We are suppose to meet up and chat about the possiblities of printing flyers and also something about his bookmarks. After talking so much about our hobbies, which is photography, i find that he became more friendly. I guess that is what happen when you get into a topic which the person is interested in, he will talk more. After he saw the postcard with a good photograph of the nightscene of orchard shot from on top of Fort Canning hill, he was amused and entertained by the picture. He then ask me a question which makes me quite embarrassed to answer. He asked who shot the picture from the postcard, and i just promptly replie...
