KL Life - Day #4

Day #4 - Nationals are over. Woke up just a few minutes before the designated check out time. Packed everything, showered and checked out. Took the monorail to KL Sentral.

Reached KL Sentral monorail station and started walking to the KL Sentral building. Tedious task in the hot afternoon weather. By the time we arrived at the KL Sentral building, we were famished. Set my eyes on Mc Donalds and made a bee-line there for lunch. Met up with Ian Chong, Ah Hong and Ah Wen there while waiting to meet up with the rest of the gang who are on their way from LCCT terminal.

When the rest of the gang arrived, we proceeded to the ground level of the building to board our bus to Genting Highlands which were bought by Ian Chong earlier.

The trip to Genting Highlands took around 1 hour and when we reached there we used the cable car up.


Upon reaching the First World Hotel, we were greeted with the sight of a sea of humans and upon further inquiry, the receptionist said that we had to wait for 2 hours before we could check in. So we decided on exploring around while waiting for the designated time. While waiting we took a few pictures for the album... below is one of the pic that has me in it. Courtesy of 5 Zhang.

Approximately around 6 p.m., we finally managed to check into our booked rooms. *whew* We checked into our rooms and got ready for dinner. Everyone met at 7.30 p.m. for dinner and after dinner its nighty night *wink*.

KL Life - Day #3

Day #3!! Started off early as we were supposed to report in at Cititel Mid Valley by 9 am. So we sorted ourselves and started out just a little before 8 am. Reached Mid Valley by 8.20 am or so then we had some breakfast.

Day #2 started off quite badly and at the end of the day, got a score of 5 wins of 12 rounds. Not bad for a first timer I guess. We stayed back for a bit to watch the semifinals and finals. In the end, the winner of the Malaysian Nationals is Joe Soh with his red green aggro deck.

After that, we headed on to Mid Valley's food court for dinner and then to the card shop on the same floor. Here we came across a game also produced by Wizards of The Coast called Dreamblade.

Its a game similar to Magic just that everything is in miniatures but not cards. It looks like a cool game but too bad it has been discontinued. Below is a picture of a cool rare that is available in Dreamblade.


We also bought some Japanese boosters and I managed to get a Japanese version of Maelstrom Pulse. *big big grin*

KL Life - Day #2

Day #2. So, what am I doing all the way here?

Main reason is to attend, Magic The Gathering Nationals. Its a national level event for Magic players to compete and stand a chance to represent Malaysia to Rome for the World Championships. The competition is a 2 day event and it was held in Cititel Mid Valley.

The only picture that i managed to get throughout the 2 days of competition...

Finished the first day, with a score of 3 wins out of 7 matches.... I think... If I remember correctly. Disappointing outcome but its my first time in nationals. *grin* Anyways, the day ended around 8 pm and we all went back to our hotel.

KL Life - Day #1

3rd July 1 am. I am officially in the capital of Malaysia. Muahahahaha. It has been so long since i last came here. Anyways, I am here already... got on the SkyBus to KL Sentral then taxi all the way to Replica Inn at Alor Street. By the time I reached the hotel, it was almost 3 am. Dumped our luggage in the room and we made our way to Alor Street for some supper cause I was famished. Finished the supper in a jiffy and off to dreamland.

Woke up around 12 noon and proceeded downstairs for lunch. Then we made our way all the way to Lucky Plaza in Klang just to have a look at CCE Games shop. To get there we had to take the monorail all the way to KL Sentral once again and then took a bus to Klang area.

We ended up drafting there with a few of the local players. The draft ended around 6.30 pm and we had lunch somewhere around Lucky Plaza. Then we headed back to take the bus back to our hotel. Back at the hotel, everybody cleaned up, practised a bit for the first day of the Malaysian Nationals and went to sleep.

Let Go of The Past, Embrace The Future

We humans are always caught or tied up in strings of emotions over what happened in the past. But no one ever realizes that if they dwell on the past, they will never be free from it. Although it sounds cruel but moving on is the best course that one could make in their life.

Being in the past does no benefit at all. SO move on and be rid of the past. Don't keep up the old habits. Turn over a new leaf!

Prezzie from the future. *wink*

Revenge of the Fallen and Homely Cooking

Megan Fox... one of the main characters in Transformers 2

Last Wednesday (26th June 2009) was the release date for Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen. Being a movie enthusiast, of course I did not want to miss the movie. So I picked up my phone, dialed Star Cineplex's number.... *busy tone* waited 5 mins... called again *busy tone* waited... 15 mins... called again STILL *busy tone* getting frustrated now.... gave up... called 3 hours later... STILL *busy tone*. *Sigh* I already gave up on the movie since it was the release date and there's bound to be a lot of people watching.

Then after a few minutes, Felix called... saying that a few of the gang wanted to watch transformers too. So..... coincidentally I was on my way to Bintang Plaza for I don't know what, hence i told them I go see if there's any seats left. Checked, and bought the tickets for 10.30 pm show.

There were 8 of us, 6 tickets above account for, Felix, Jason, Yuki, Ah Hong, Ah Wen, and Ian Chong.

My ticket and *ahem* *wink wink*

The movie started at 10.30pm... everyone was thinking that it wouldn't last till so late... but in the end, the movie ended at 1 am-ish... but then, the movie was nice. *big grin*


Then it was Thursday... where I was spontaneously invited to a house dinner *big big big grin*. All I can say is.. the food that was prepared all had a very homely feeling and it was NICE.

Hash brown potatoes... (due to the fact that we have vegetarians in d house *smiles*)

Chicken Wings in Soy Sauce *yummy*


Meat with garlic

Long Beans with Eggs

The Sense of Insecurity

The sense that makes everyone feel insecure and not safe. What does it really do and how does it really affect us humans? I am still yet to find out as I have only got this feeling recently. For some reason it is just a bit too strong for me to handle and I find myself at a dead end not knowing what to do, how to react and how to proceed on.

I hate this feeling. I feel like I am lost in the middle of nowhere wearing nothing. The feeling of naked-ness is really not something one would like to feel everyday. So what is it that makes us feel insecure? In my opinion, almost everything that is a need in our lives can make us feel insecure. Don't understand? Here's an example. Humans need money to survive and go through their everyday lives. Take out the money from their lives, make them have no money, most people would feel very insecure without some or a bit of money on them. Isn't that true?

So what is it that is making me feel so insecure? Money? Love? Family? Friends? I would say, almost everything is making me feel insecure but then again, nobody would actually notice as I always try my best to conceal it. So, here's another question. What would you do if you feel insecure but at the same time you have to provide the sense of security to your partner?

For me, to provide my partner with the sense of security that he/she seeks is more of like something compulsory. Being in a relationship, the first and foremost thing that I would emphasize in is trust. Without trust, there would be no relationship... or i would say that the relationship would not last that long. To answer the question above, I would say, even if I feel insecure, I have the obligation to make my partner/the other half of me to feel secure. I don't know about you guys out there, but this is what I think. It is true that some of you might feel differently, but this is my point of view. *wink* No need to get all so worked up. Feel free to drop some comments on your point of views and we could discuss and maybe you could contribute some new ideas to my next blog post. Till then, thank you for reading and enjoy.
