To start this post, I'll just need to give some background...
Last night, when I reached home, my father told me that I had to stay at home to take care of my grandmother and aunt..
The reason? They were going to leave for a meeting overseas for the weekends, and thus, needed me to stay at home to take care of my grandmother..
I was a bit shocked, but then accepted it quickly, as i knew it was their job and stuff..
In the meantime, I actually had already made plans to meet up with another friend of mine, who's currently in the Army... [Long story]
Anyways, after hearing the news, I called him, and he told me that he would be able to change plans and thus... He decided to come to my house to meet me...
So, this starts the main gist of this post....
This morning, I woke up at about 9 plus to get ready and stuff, and at around 10, I got a msg from him saying that he would be late. So, I just went and like got some stuff to eat...
At 10:45 plus, he reached my house, and I welcomed him in...
He came in, and we first had like a short chat in my living room, before we got to my very messy room... We sat on my bed, and I told him about my concerns about enlisting and stuff, my worries and all that, and he in turn, told me about some of his experiences...
Also, of course, he brought his MTG decks out, and we had some time to play test his black control deck, and blue Whizzie decks.. [[LOL Whizzie deck LOL]]
So, then, after a while, he also took some time to show me how to play Generals properly... as I had it like installed in my laptop... It was exremely fun to see how it actually worked, and I learnt and interesting thing known as kiting... LOL
After quite a while of talking and playing, I was feeling a bit hungry, and lucky for me, my Aunt arrived at about 1pm plus... So I was able to leave home with my friend to eat...
So, we just left my home, and headed towards this Coronation Plaza to withdraw some cash...Following that, we went over to the nearby Thai noodles restaurant, and I tried a dish called Pad Thai... It's quite nice...With it's sauce, and the peanut powder at the side.. I reccommend it...
After the meal, we went over to another shopping centre in the area, and we went over to a card shop there to get some cards... MTG, as usual.
We both got a M.Tide, and S.Moor booster each [[Tho I freaking felt that maybe I should have not gotten like both...lol... nvm about that...]]
So, after another while of dilly-dallying, I decided that perhaps I should like start making my way to work, as it was already about 3 plus. [I start work at 530pm.]
After a bit of discussion, I just sort of decided to take 961 with him, so we could like have more time to talk about stuff...
I would love to try and elaborate about what we talked about.. But it seems like I'm a bit tight for time... So I guess I would tell the next part some other time then.. Maybe tomorrow...
[[PS: I'm again at the cybercafe, and due to the fact that I need to go back to take care of Grandma, I need to leave now... And today would probably be about 22 or 21 days before I have to get Enlisted...Sigh.. I really need to start going back to the gym again...]]
Okies... Hope that all of you would be able to have a good night...
And well, I guess I do feel better now today, after having had the chance to talk to my friend, and to learn quite a bit about how it is like in NS....
Hopefully I would be able to cope as well as my friend said I would... ah well... Good night...
