I'm bored, and I realised its time to blog, as quite some stuff happened recently. =)
Wednesday 2.11.05
Finally, my primary school friends managed to go out. However, there was a sudden change of time, leaving me loiter around PS and Pank Mall for nearly an hour. Other than that, everything was quite ok.
Went to Doby Gaut Station to meet a friend from SMC to pass some stuff, then back to outside the Cinema to wait for the Da Xiao Jies who are ALWAYS late.
Saw Jie Ying and Jesslaynne when queing up for the tickets for the movie. Only then did i realised that they were on the SAME train from like Sengkang to Doby Gaut! Haha. I was busy reading something so I didnt notice.
Right right, so we bought 6 Legend of Zorro tickets, and surprisingly, $8. Well, its not expensive, but its still expensive. Heart aches everytime I watch a movie but still, I watch. Lol.
The show was OK only, and I didnt know there was a Part 1 for Zorro. According to ZhanWei, Zorro 1 was like 3 years ago.
Then I went to meet James to pass him some stuff, before going to Karen/Carey's house. We slacked all the way there, until around 10 plus, before leaving their place.
Man, this I really gotta say. HanSheng, ZhanWei and I, walked the wrong route. Well, we walk 1 BIG round around Tiong Bahru, then finally heading to Redhill MRT. Crazy right? I think the walk was like half and hour, and I reached home at nearly 12.
And yea, thank you Anita, who had the patience to listen to me whine till like 2am. =)
Yesterday 3.11.05
This was once again a day dedicated to Magic. It was a mini SMC meeting, consisting Mark, Daren, James, Justin, and me. Nothing much happened throughout, until around 9oclock at night, we decided to do Street Magic; for no reasons, not charity work or anything, just for our own pleasure.
First up was Justin, it was around 9.15 or something, and he show 2 Malay guys, who were pretty much of hecklers, but everything went smoothly.
Follow by Mark, I'm not sure what time was it, but I believe it was pretty quick. He "attacked" a stall vendor girl, and in the process of showing a trick, 2 angmohs approached and ask for details of stuff she was selling! Omg, it was like so fucking funny lor, how unlucky can Mark be. The girl was like "Oh sorry, gimme a sec I need to tend to my customers; your tricks can come later." Yes you're right, he had ALL the misdirection he wanted, he could palm off 15 cards and place them inside the girl's water bottle, but seriously, it sure was bad. When the girl returned, he quickly finished his trick, and walked off. Another note to take, never approach people who are WORKING.
Next was James, and this fellow dragged for over 45 bloody minutes. There were simply so many targets, everyone were like going home or loitering around, or staring at the fountain etc. He has the skills but he didnt have the guts, lol, but finally.. This girl all alone, smsing, and looking at the fountain which has already stopped spraying water. White collared shirt, and short skirt; jeans material. 1 word, HOT. Still, it took quite a while for James to finally decide that its gonna be her, and finally he did. He did a handphone trick and some card effects, and I played as a stooge, lol. Everything went pretty smoothly; EXCEPT, all of us said he was an IDIOT for not getting the number. Haha, but wait, he already has a girlfriend, so nvm.
Then it was MY turn. Fuck, it's already so late already, 10.15pm was what I remembered, cos James took too long to find his ideal target. I told them the target I was looking for: No fat ladies (I'll puke halfway), no smokers (I cant freaking breathe), no couples (The guy will EITHER feel like a loser when I hit on his girl, OR he'll act like a macho man and screw up my trick), and no huge group of girls (I'll get rejected 100%), no stall vendors (No repeating of Mark's mistake), no angmohs (they have no bloody reaction at all), no one taller than me (its hard to do stuff that requires eye-level). No ideal targets in sight at all. People queing up at Taxi Stands/busy rushing home etc. I tried to stop 2 office girls, but I got rejected BEFORE I could finish my first sentence because I had this "HELLO-THERE-WANT-TO-BUY-SOME-INSURANCE-OR-DONATE-SOME-MONEY-TO-XXX-CHARITY?" look on my face. How great, I actually forgot I'm in SINGAPORE.
By this time it was already quite late, and we decide to go home already. Of course, I still owe them a performance. At the MRT station, all of us were still looking for a decent target, and bingo. She was alone, waiting for her friend and I decided to give one last try.
And yes, I didnt get rejected because instead of having the "HELLO-THERE-WANT-TO-BUY-SOME-INSURANCE-OR-DONATE-SOME-MONEY-TO-XXX-CHARITY?" look on my face, I used the "HELLO-GIRL-CAN-I-HAVE-YOUR-NUMBER?" look on my face, and it worked! Haha. Nah, she's not anywhere near to my expectations, but I simply chose her to finish my "job". Did a couple of card tricks, and went home, reaching at around 11.30pm.
Today 5.11.05
Same thing, same batch of people except one more guy called Thaddeus joined us; 12 year old kid.
Everything was simply perfect today, heres some highlights.
Thaddeus really had ALOT of guts, finding a target within less than 3 mins. ALL of us got owned by a 12-year-old-kid. Lol.
Mark approached a super cute girl who was waiting for her friend; did a coin routine that really freaked the shit out of her; I was beside acting like a stranger all the way, and her name is.. Florence? Probably 20s.
James did a couple of simple coin vanishes enough to flip laymens but as usual, this guy for rejected multiple times. I think its the way he choose his targets and
his opening sentences.
Justin sat down beside a office girl, thus, it was like table magic, much much easier. And yes, he did a really great job, leaving her really really stunned.
And ME. No girls today. 2 guys outside MACs eating Ice-cream, my friends said that its not a good choice, but I still decided it was them. Lets call them SON and BASTARD. SON was a great guy, I talked to him first, shaked his hand, and interacted for a few sentences. BASTARD was a cocky and arrogent fucker, who thinks that I'm just another loser who's trying to impressed him. He gave me the look of, "Yea hi, yea, go on, show me what you can do."
I did a gimmick vanishing deck, right under their noses, and TRUST ME, you should have seen BASTARD's face!!! If I hadn't wanted to maintain my composure, I'd laugh right in his face calling him a LOSER at that moment.
Then, i took out a normal deck, did a couple of my usual tricks, followed by another DECK VANISH; this time with pure sleights and misdirection, it was a daring move, but it all paid off well. Gave my thanks, and walked off. Probably leaving BASTARD totally stunned inside out; peeing on his pants. (Okok, it wasnt that bad, Hahahaa.)
Then, we went to MACs to slack; talk cock, take videos, then at 9, home. =)
Wow, I've been reaching home quite late for the past 3 days, my mum's getting pissed. =D
How Foolish I was.
