sleepless in singapore
I had a total blast from the past-type weekend with ridiculously little sleep, so it's a good thing I'm on leave today.
Saturday afternoon I went to play the Casino Royale game organised by the Stanford people, with a team of people I hadn't spoken to for years. Along the way I met even more people I hadn't spoken to for years, including a guy from a youth camp I was in waaaaay back in JC days, several secondary school friends, and random other people. The game spanned 19 hours, an entire night, and a large part of Singapore (although, thank goodness, not Tuas).
I actually didn't want to play at first, because me + no sleep = very cranky. But Alex convinced me, and I'm really glad I took part. (So were my parents. They kept saying, "Go play game! It's good to get out there and have a life!" Me: "Hey, World of Warcraft is a life!") Also, I'm happy I somehow miraculously chose the right team. We all got along (surprisingly) swimmingly and had loads of fun, from chilling out in the EDB office cracking our heads over Dove soap to drinking teh at Serangoon Gardens cracking our heads over MRT maps. We also managed to make it to the final checkpoint (just in time, after we spent 10 minutes circling Shenton Way looking for parking), which was awesome.
After the game ended at noon I went home to check on my story and then slept for a few hours before the combined call of WoW and Entourage became too loud to resist. Then at 11pm, in the middle of hunting down a Fel Reaver, I got a call from a friend I haven't seen in months, so I headed out again.
Him: I'll pick you up in 20 min.
Me: Can you make it 45? I need to kill this big metal guy first.
Him: Take ur time. There's no rush. What's impt is that Metallikor is dead.
Me: You're right. Lost perspective for a while back there. Thanks for keeping it real.
Heehee. We ended up staying out till 5am, so I didn't really get much sleep last night either. But what a great weekend.
