So the guys and girls were over at my place on Friday night for yet another chill-out session. Including me, I think we had about 10 people here - all squeezed within the constraints of my room and hallway. All that talk about getting drunk was for naught, we didn’t even finish the bottle of Chivas, let alone the Jack Daniel’s and Martel. Half the gang left before it started getting any later, while the rest stayed on through the night. Our drinking games were brought to a standstill due to Melvin not wanting to drink anymore, he was also one of the few who left first as he was tired.
Cheers to finding love and getting out of the singles club!

It’s been an above-average week for me thus far, a week where I actually found things to do besides gaming. Highlights include Mr. Ong’s insanely boring class on Monday, A little trip to Malaysia with Shane, Yau and Ben on Tuesday, and the day out with my family on Wednesday. Oh yeah, I got myself a new graphics card too, Powercolor HD 4850 PCS+, not forgetting to mention that I’m Rank 23 in WAR now, but no need for elaboration on that, I’ll just leave that part to myself and the WAR enthusiasts.
The M’sia thing was meant as a advanced birthday celebration for our dear friend, Ben. What better way to spend it then at somewhere unfamiliar to us, yet so familiar with Yau. He has a house and all back in JB, so he drove us around, had some killer bak kut teh with his folks that afternoon. Went around to do some window shopping at the nearby Jusco mall after lunch. He then drove us to some ulu place in god knows where for dessert. Before we knew it, we had already spent 5 hours or so in M’sia and it was time to head back as Shane had to get to work. It was a fun day overall, with Yau exposing us to life on the other side. And no, the grass isn’t greener on the other side.

I’m envious of the spectators who are going to watch the Singapore Grand Prix live later. Here am I at home, possibly looking towards another day of WAR. But fret not, I will still watch my live coverage of the race later. I’ve been catching the F1 events around the world since last year, with my interest growing with every race. Once again, I got to thank my father for that, he was the one who nurtured my interest and expanded my appreciation on the sport - like in the case of tennis - I’d inevitably find myself sitting with him at the couch.
As for my week in retrospect, I think that I’d had quite a good one. Not in the context of social gatherings, but just having heaps of fun playing WAR. It was actually Darren’s birthday on Friday, went to nearby CWP to have dinner after our UT (15 more to go), along with the rest of the Aerospace dudes. Settled for Ajisen, some of the guys were crazy enough to order the famed “Volcano Ramen”. I didn’t want wish to risk destroying my throat in the process, so Damian and I figured that It was a no-go. Ordered some ham ramen instead, was only so-so, nothing comparable to the likes of what you can get in the streets of Tokyo or Osaka for that matter. Was hella full after that, I actually had 3 meals that day! Meepok in the morning, lemon chicken cutlet in the afternoon, and this in the evening. I need to go to the gym, swimming alone just isn’t going to cut it.

War is everywhere. The day of reckoning has come. September 18th was the day. I was feeling excited to go collect the pre-order, more so than I expected myself to be actually. I haven’t been playing a whole lot prior to that actually. Was too busy with work and what other minuscule things that might trouble me. So I went down to Games Convention Asia on that Thursday, right after school ended. It helped that Shanbhag’s lesson for that day wasn’t exactly all that boring, or maybe it was just me being too excited.
Anyway, I had Jon accompany on the MRT ride down to Suntec, would’ve been bored otherwise. Reached the convention at about 6 or so. Walking into the convention brought a joyous feeling, as though I was child walking into an amusement park. But I guess that’s normal, for me being a gaming enthusiast and all - as I always call myself. Met up with Sam, who was already there, then we proceeded on surveying the area and trying out different titles. There weren’t exactly many booths, the predominant players there were EA and Nintendo, various 2nd grade/Asian MMO distributors lined the sides of the hall. Somehow, Sam also got tempted and he ended up getting the Collector’s Edition of Warhammer as well. The freaking box weighs like 3.5 Kg, probably the heaviest CE in history. It was heavy only because of the comic and art book they had inside, which was both beautifully illustrated and colored in hard cover.
