Hmmm.....Where did I stopped?
Oh, we're in Singapore. Lack of sleep resulted in me trying very hard to stay awake and reach the Hotel. Ahmad fared much better since he slept. For some reason I manage to convince Ahmad I don't asked directions, so he did all the asking (oops! Ahmad is not gonna like this, he he!) Found out where to take the bus and what number to get to Woodlands MRT. Realised we didn't have coins, so Ahmad went ahead and bought a local paper. When we later took a (long) peek into it, wow, didn't know Singaporeans liked EPL that much! more than 1/3 of the paper was on EPL related stories!
Got on the Bus. Got off the Bus. proceeded to MRT before seeing Burger King next to it. Voila! Burger King Breakfast fulfilled! Once I finished my BK Breakfast (Ahmad not a breakfast person, so thanks for the company) we went on to the MRT. Almost wasn't sure which stop was it that we needed to go to. Remember Wolf giving us directions to the Hotel? He said, "you need to go to City Hall, and get of at Bugis station". Guess what, Bugis and City hall were 2 different stations! Decisions, decisions. Ahmad remembered it was to cost $2.80 and we bought tickets to Bugis station and it was $2.80. So we were convinced we were on the right track. (actually, if City Hall cost $2.80 as well, we would have been fooled.) Got on the train and for some unknown reason (other than 2 sleep deprived men trying to look MACHO) we chose not to sit throughout the journey. Those who did take the MRT from Woodlands to Bugis will vouch that unless you REALLY have someone to impress, sit. Oh, we saw this guy we stood in the middle of the train without holding on to anything. I can it "at peace with the train". You would probably call it, "Show Off!". Oh, and Ahmad had the audicity to ask me, in a packed MRT, " What happened to the water issue?". I was dumbfounded (and speechless as I didn't want to get whacked!)
45 minutes later (and very much exhausted), we got off City Hall and changed trains to Bugis station. Once there, it look rather familiar (the station), as the last time I judge Magic here (3 years ago), I took the MRT there. Didn't know which exit, so we went eeni meeni mini moe and took the "right" exit. We were both lost and tired. Ahmad, more attuned to his feminine side, asked for more directions. The final direction was at the Chicken Rice Shop (just next to the Hotel) and we were so happy to locate it! I was also so tired, I was willing to pay for day use before our official check in!
At the reception, we heard probably the best news so far. The hotelier said that they are ok if we checked in now! We were there, like 10am! And Wolf said," Don't check in before 2pm". There are good Singaporeans after all. Checked in, "checked" in and Check in! (Room, Bathroom, bed). Was suppose to wake up at 1.00pm for lunch and more playtesting.
Guess what? It's closer to 2pm than 1pm. Still didn't want to wake up. Ahmad got a call from the other entourage and found out they are having lunch and won't arrive till, possibly 3pm+. So what do we do? Go out and have lunch, of course. Oh, don't try asking me what's for lunch. Luckily for Ahmad, we (check)ed (this) out Suntec Convention centre and found the Food Court. Guess Burger King Lunch will be tomorrow, then. Nothing noteworthy at the foodcourt, other than an extremely efficient drink cashier who's perfect to show how efficiency lacks service. Trust me, she was really fast! Walked around the complex, found out where we will wrestle the next day, and back to the Hotel we went. Took out the decks and playtested for awhile. Had TV on, and it was Indy and Temple of Doom up. Got somewhat distracted, but wasn't too distracted until we heard a knock on our room door. Who was it?????
Part 2 up next...
