Think about... Socks

When you turn a sock inside out before keeping it in your drawers, you are actually using energy from the future now.

Back to Magic

I've stopped playing sf4 competitively, and am now back to playing magic competitively. I was on the fence about whether I should play again, especially since Malaysia isn't that great to play it... the players here generally keep to themselves and gravitate in their own cliques. Still, it's nice to be playing the game again. Casual drafters in my group have ditched magic for Diablo 3 so I suppose there's no where else for me to play limited magic except in shops, and the odd limited GPT and PTQ events.

On that note, for my first outing back into competitive magic, I did quite well for myself; I got 1st place at Grand Prix Trial Shanghai last Sat!Though I played horribly, somehow I managed to win out to get 3 byes in the Shanghai GP, will be going there on July 28 - 29 with Janice. Maybe I can top 4 and get on the gravy train? Who knows...

Diablo 3 is the new in thing for games. I'm already getting a bit bored with it, nothing but grinding and grinding for new equipment. The difficulty is alright but it feels a bit cheap when you just get one shot-ed by some jumping leaper or corrupted angel... that sucks when you're playing a low life wizard. Ah well, we'll see how long it lasts. I'm already thinking of going back to magic online to practise Avacyn Restored drafts but GP Shanghai is M13....

Any who, for real life stuff. Janice and I will be going to Redang soon with a bunch of my friends for a few days of sun-fun. Should be nice and relaxing. Shanghai is after that, then maybe I'll be heading to UK or Australia for a few days. Macau and HK (maybe) will be at the end of the year. Lots of places to go, looks like busy times this year. One of my best friend's weddings is going to be held early next year too; looking forward to that.

That's all for now, see if I can win another GPT / PTQ or something.
