hello everyone. this week damn busy. been meeting up with interior designers aka IDs, going to recce for wedding venues as well as trying to sell my cards on singapore MTG Auctions. but sadly i only managed to sell off my english kalitas, traitor of ghet for 20sgd. quite little for a card that is going for near 30sgd on online shops.

also something to note is that i have finally gotten the account for lim&tan securities. so i can start buying and selling like how my friend eric and jinhua does. all the best to the few of us. and also special shout out to ah pek to intro me to this awesome brokerage which have awesome rewards thats linked to your NTUC link card if you have one. i encourage people to go check it out. also if i make 3 trades within 1 month or so, ah pek gets referral rewards. thats great right? provided i do buy. hahaz

personally i would have to sort out the guest lists so that i know how many tables my wife and i should be looking at before going out to recce the venues. no point not knowing whether we can satisfy the minimum tables or not right?

anyways the full spoilers for shadows over innistrad is up. prerelease is next week, just got a contract to fix some mac harddisks. those harddisks from mac are not straight forward to recover the data thats inside so it will take a while. my good friends have been referring contracts to me but then i dont know whether i can swallow them or not so we will have to see. looking on the bright side at least our my company has been expanding right? hahaz. budget16 is just out so there're many things to look forward to. lastly also looking forward to what my playtest groups are going to buy and therefore share with the readers of my blog.

see you all.

restart

short update as i attempt to reblog my recent happenings

i just came out of ict. in between the ict i attended a wedding and met up with my old friends. talk about life and then about investing. piqued me since i actually had an account from way back. book in and read a bit about investing. now im sitting in front of a computer and try to work on it.

during the recent IT show i went to help my friend get the referral bonus and sign up with another brokerage. lim&tan. i also planning to open a CPF investment account to invest. anything that gives more interest than what CPF gives is better right? instead of parking the money inside where i cant use, why not use it to work harder?

as for magic, nothing much happens as eldrazi continue to dominate. won 2 of 3 grand prix on the same weekend. out of the 6 final decks, 5 were flavors of eldrazi.

i didnt get any cards as nothing is safe. buy legacy cards while eternal masters are on the way? no way. buy modern cards while eldrazi is ruling modern and pending to be banned and unstable? no way. the only safe purchases are stuffs that are on the reserved list and EDH playables.

i got grim monolith as its on the reserved list, serum visions jap foil. its highly likely gh staffs made an error but who cares? you open a shop and you got to be responsible for yourself, ajani vengeant prerelease jap foil for speculation as prices are not corrected.

i sold some stuffs in my collection that are playable in chord decks. think now is the best time to sell. remember the recent modern gp final decks where 5 decks were eldrazi? the last one is a company deck. therefore i will continue to sell chord company pieces before the next set arrives. i also sold the normal english fifth dawn serum visions to my close friend kelvin.

here are the earnings i had this month so far
3x collected company $54
4x chord of calling $52
4x sreum visions $36
plaworks earning $1230
total $1372

spoilers for shadows over innistrad came this week and i am really interested in some of the cards. particulary "thing in the ice" this card is too hyped. its preorder price keep going up and up. whether its the real deal or just hype well have to test it out.

quite a lot of updates for yet a restart post. if you cannot find the older posts dont be alarmed. i just hid them so that only i can see them. i will try to update at least once a week. with things like what i bought, what i sold, investment chats, stuffs i played, my own business performances. readers of my older posts should not find anymore emo posts. unless really emo.
