Last Thursday, I turned 30, in the most awesome way that I could never have imagined.
I also got a gift better than I could have ever planned, as I was whisked here, there and everywhere as I succumbed my day to her whims and will.
My only gripe was that I wore a black-dark, thick cotton shirt because she asked me to dressed smartly, and only because I think that I could have still pulled the whole day off with my usual jeans and suave tee.. but that’s just me.
What did I get to do? Let’s see..
Karaoke session was good, lunch was splendous and she got strangers to sing me a birthday jingle.
Then we shopped for ‘the birthday gift’ even though I was reluctant to make her spend, but in the end my choice of the wrist watch was eccentrically scrumptuous – a toss between a white Diesel one and a metallic Armani Exchange. This gift, which I still think is way too much too spend on this 30 year old, but way too awesome nevertheless.
And the fireworks, literally, came up in the evening spent at Sentosa, which was nothing short of magically flawless, save for the bird-dropping, mosquito-biting thingy.
But those were mere headfakes, for the real gift was the gift of love, masked within a tender company and waves after waves of generous gestures.
I’d never thought turning 30 meant I’d be pampered this way, but for that special and memorable gift of company, I really couldn’t have wished for anything more.
Ahhh, being 30 feels so awesome! *wink*

It seemed unreal that a site as popular, as huge, as widely-accepted-by-the-mass-web-users is now… seized and forced to close down by US regulators, and it leaves me wondering what it is that they are regulating.
I might feel inclined to believe that the ones being regulated are the fat wallets and the insane paychecks of the movie producers, and if they’d really wanted to rightfully earn their money, then why spend millions in shows, such as Golden Globes and the Academy as well as obscene movie promotions, where they fly their stars around the world?
In any case, it is sad to see Megaupload go, not least they’ve been misused, and abused by the pirateers, but the thought that millions of simple users like you and me that are affected, and affected by having our paid accounts seized and rendered useless.
Oh man.. and to think that I’ve just resubscribed to another 2 months worth of subscription to watch “How I Met Your Mother” online~
Adoi~!

2.30am: Eyes drooping after tuning G/B Elves deck since 11pm.
7.15am: Rise & Shine. Feels too early.
8.15am: Beauty World Centre @ Bukit Timah
8.30am: Big Breakfast Deluxe @ Macdonlads.
8.45am: Farid’s Arrival
9.30am: Grand Prix Trial KL Begins.
10.00am: First Loss of the day.
4.00pm: 6 hours later and I’m looking at a 5 Loss, 1 Win scoreline.
Oh man, what can I say, the metagame for the current season is so volatile that the only expectation you can set for yourself is to expect the unexpected.
After nearly 5 weeks of ‘seasoning’ myself with the G/B Elves-Tron deck, I thought that I’d stand a good chance, figuring that the metagame is going to be filled with creatures (Delvers/Humans/Wolves) heavy deck, but lo and behold, it was more of a 70% U/x Control vs the rest of the field.
Shocking, indeed, if you even know what all these jargon means.
Still the lesson at the end of the day is…. *wait for it*… ‘Take it on the chin and move on.’
That’s right, sometimes things merely progresses on its own, ‘market forces’ traders would call it, and these are things that one can’t expect to be certain of at any time, and so the best bet that one can ultimately make is to estimate where this ‘progression’ leads to, and how to best live with it.
And then sometimes, you’ve just got to wing it and spin it.
On a sidenote, Beauty World Centre didn’t seem to have changed much since the early 90s when I first patronised it regularly, and I kind of enjoyed the nostalgic ambience it had.
Awesme!

Manchester City won, but as I glanced at the game stats…
… Liverpool was the much more dominant team, with a possession difference (advantage) of 28%??
Had more shots at goal, even though there weren’t on target, and stll couldn’t score?
It’s been the plague of the season hasn’t it for Liverpool, that we’re dominatiing games and fail to capitalise with a win.
At least on previous occasions we could be blaming the posts, the bars, the referees and beach balls, but this time round, it’s just a drab loss and one has to take the bitter pill of humility and admit that we’ve been beaten comprehensively.
These things happen right? (Giving myself an excuse for the loss..)
The ball is round right? (Soothing myself temporarily in facing the loss..)
Gotta pick up the pieces and move on eh? (Motivating myself to continue supporting the losing team..)
Gotta face the same thing again twice within the month in the League Cup?? OH no~!
