David Blaine In Singapore

Do you like Magic? (If you do, stay tuned as I am giving some tickets to a really awesome magic show.)

You might not know but my bro - Barney Stinson is actually a magician.
When we talk about Magic we will talk about David Blaine right?

My very 1st impression of David Blaine would be his floating trick as well as how everyone was trying to crack his "trick".

The impressive part of magic and/or trick to me is that breaking it is no big deal because that is simply reversing engineering of a well plot plan but what about you coming out with a good plan and at the same time executing it and impressing everyone?

It takes hours, days, weeks and even months of practice!


So what if you know the trick? Can you do the same thing or can you even see what happened there?

If you can't see it clearly what about seeing it live in Singapore?

YES! HE IS COMING TO SINGAPORE!


And you can see him in person! For more information check out

I FINALLY BEAT RONDY!

 Smithankyou     2/08/2012 04:56:00 AM     card game, friend, magic, mtg, nerd, rondy, TBBT     No comments   
Most of you guys should know how much time I spent playing games. From computer/console games to the more traditional board/card games. They have always been a part of my life and I really enjoy a good game as strategizing a game and winning it makes me feel really good. I enjoy the beauty of the games and the adrenaline rush from a good competition. There times that you might lost a game but still enjoyed the process but of course there are also times you do not enjoy losing. Like for example losing to Rondy. HAHA.

This has to go a little back into the history for you guys to get what I am talking about. I started playing my favorite card game at the age of 15 during secondary school. I spent too much time and money on this game but I never regret any bit of it as I really love this game. I spent a good 2-3 years playing it actively with 3 of my buddies, Rondy, David and Willis. (Like buying new cards or joining tournament) Some of us stop shortly after we got into poly but the game is always with me. I still use some of my older decks I kept to play with my poly classmate as well as campmates during army. I wouldn't say I am very good but I am sure I was kind of slightly above average back then when I was very active but there is this person I could never beat.

That's almost like us.
And that is Rondy. Rondy is not only good with the card knowledge and the game's know how but he is also very experience and looking at him playing his cards is almost like him putting up a show. He will not just play the game but also read the opponent's move and small little habits. He is also a very good teacher when it comes to Magic and he is never stingy about teaching us what to do and how to play the game right. And it makes me really want to beat him even more in his own game.

Damn it Rondy! You Beat me AGAIN!

He will always be the one getting the better cards during draft session and always the one winning it all since school days and in fact when Willis, David and I stopped playing the game, he got more into it. He was once Singapore top player and actually represented Singapore to play this so call silly little card game to many in different part of the world.

That's Rondy at some magic event at TOKYO!
Recently, the four of us decided to gather together once again to play this game. We will buy a box and play it at our free time and sell away the cards so we have money to buy the next box at a cheaper price. I am very happy I get to play this game once again although not as active as we use to but we still join the tournament once every 3months or so. Rondy would always teach us what to do with all the updated cards and all. 

Something awesome happened tonight. I BEAT RONDY! Like for the first time in X years in draft. I finally beat him! I mean it might be no big deal cause the game consist of certain luck factor as well but it's Rondy that I just beaten. I know, there is no price or what not but I am still happy! 

Anyway I am happy the four of us are gathering together more often these days and playing some serious card games. (And drinking and party of course.)  

Card Game Nerd! 

And yes, those ARE magic the gathering cards.

P.S : This blogpost is suppose to be a joke just to troll Rondy that I beat him like for once and if you are taking it seriously as if I am trying to show off, you have to just f off and die. 


Mr.Smith, tap this, untap this, 4 mana floating and I cast this. BAM! I win.
