A very nice day

Today was a very nice day. Quite a few things just went my way and it made it very very very pleasant.

1. A kind soul
Woke up and played some WoW. Things were going as normal.. trying hard to find people to help me with some quests and running around gather stuff. Suddenly, someone sent a message that he wanted to give away 100 gold! Now, for the non-wow players, 100 gold to a lvl 39 character is really quite a windfall. Furthermore, I was looking to buy a horse when i reached lvl 40 but that would cost about 90 gold and i had only about 40 gold. At first, I (together with the people in the same area) didn't believe it. We thought it could be a trap, it could be someone playing us for a fool or someone out to waste our time. But I thought, what the heck.. I was nearby and the worst that could happen was I got killed and wasted some time. Guess what. The fella was legit. He was apparently giving up on playing WoW and wanted to get rid of whatever he had left. He asked the few of us who were there to roll for it (kinda like throwing a dice in WoW) and out of a possible 100... I rolled 99!! The fella gave me stuff worth 100 gold and that was it! I was 100 gold richer! That really made my day.

2. Quick Delivery
After that, I decided to go get my miniSD card replaced. I had bought a 1Gb card on Saturday which didn't work so I had to go down to get a replacement. Yesterday, over the phone, the tech guy told me they had no replacement stock and asked me to leave my card with them. The stock would come a week or two later. I was quite bummed when I heard that. Anyway, I decided to go hand in my card and wait for the replacement. When my turn came, guess what.. .they replaced my card on the spot! And the card works! :-) That was happy incident number 2.

3. Great concert
I then went to Suntec coz I wanted to catch the preview of Poseidon (will talk abt the movie at another post). After the movie, I walked around a little and was going to go Carrefour before going home. Then I noticed that The Rock auditorium had a banner for a Steven Curtis Chapman concert, for that night! SCC is one of my favourite singers. I've loved his songs for many years (since JC time?) and I've always hoped to go for his concert, but he never came to Singapore. Now there was a concert! But... I didn't have any tickets. And boy was I underdressed - my bochap T-shirt and shorts... After wandering a little, I gave up and went Carrefour. Then I decided, no harm asking if I could be admitted. Worse come to worse, the fella would laugh at me and say no. So, I went back up and guess what, they had started a queue for people without tickets! And in less than 5mins, I was in the concert... .and BOY WHAT A GREAT CONCERT IT WAS!

So all in. A very very very nice day. :-D
