Nostalgia & Moving On

Due to severe boredom and a stroke of luck, I came across old videos of The Power Rangers on youtube. Really brings back good ol' memories spending the weekends, sometimes with my cousins in Malacca watching these every week. The craze of buying the tapes and toys.....and roleplaying without a care in the world..gawd i feel old.



Whats even more nostalgic..the theme song lolololol...for those who grew up watching the show...



Now comes the topic of moving on. I have been playing magic for over a decade but only been involve in competitive scene only recently. I went for my first nationals this year, and it's been great. The change in environment, meeting and playing with seasoned professionals has been an eye opener to say the least. There is a desire now to improve myself and bring myself to a higher level. No longer I can play for fun, or do something that rarely been done. I now play to win. Losing is not easy to take.

However, not all my mates see my viewpoint. Perhaps KV was right, it's time to venture out of my comfort zone. But this can only be achieved only when I am able to start work though. Funding for cards of my own and investment into MTGO would take some time. As for now, nationals is over and there is a year to look ahead. Here's to a more successful MTG career.

Cheers

M10 Prerelease Conclusion

So M10 prerelease concluded today. Man it was a blast.

Secret to success? Dress like shit, have your morning face on and your good to go. Seriously. Looking good and making sure I was fresh for the 1st session on Saturday and all i got was a 2-2 record....what the hell? *self slap time*

So 2 sessions today saw me go 3-1 on the 1st flight and 4-0 the second flight with seriously awesome cards in the packs today. Overrun and doom blade? The MVPs for the day. Best part? Winning and topdecking like a chap while seriously looking like a zombie. *thanks Yugi-Oh* Heart of the cards man.

Another good part about the weekend? Joking around all day long with yer buds, telling bad beats stories and simply, having fun. Special thanks to K for sponsoring me for the 3 sessions.

I'm done. The bed has shattered my will and bound me to her.Good night all.

Cheers

M10 Prerelease Part 1

Just got back from a day full of card slinging, burning money and enjoying the new core set. It's been a while since prerelease was this good, attracting almost a full house. At time of writing, only 6 slots remain for tomorrow's session. Posting to say....i'm beat...*dies*

Might give a full review after tomorrow. For those non-magic peeps, come back on tuesday where we resume normal gossips and rants.

*raises a mug from the grave*
