Today at 3pm, I went to West Mall myself to purchase a box of Triumphant booster pacts. Then I went to take a look at the playing area.... Guess what? That anonymous medium sized brown box that the 4 of us didn't know what the hell it is, is actually a box full of spare cards!! OMG CRAZY! Frankly giving out free cards in the middle of no where? Saw 2 boys (primary school) digging their fingers deep inside just to find more. I took some myself, got 2 rare cards (golduck and west sea gastrodon). LOL. I think all the rare ones must have been long taken away already thats why I only got 2.
Unexpectedly, that big guy with very short hair, the one that only Yee Hwa challenged, spotted and recognised me straight away, came up to me and offered to give me some of his cards instead (since he claimed that digging through the brown box is taking way too much time). Apparently what looked like a shoe box, stored part of his entire collection of cards, ranging from common to rare. Too bad no Holos or primes, LOL. He allowed me to choose whatever I want and just take them. WOW. Saw so many cards that I don't have and had the temptation to take all the rare cards, since they were just his spares. Although he claimed that I can take his cards for free, he openly sold some of it to another guy. Er hem. Doesn't matter. So in the end I took one machamp, poliwrath, electivire, kakuna and weedle, and mareep and flaafy for YH. I took more just that I can't remember. Best of all, I saw he had a freakin GYARADOS! THE ONE I WANTED SO BADLY!!! Bad news, he said his friend might want it (the one who invited us to play on the first day in West Mall). Good news, when his friend came, he said he didn't need it. So, the kind soul gave it to me. Bless you.
After picking all those free cards from various areas, I played 3 rounds of game with him. The decks I used was apparently self-made. It was his, not the organizer's. SO. DAMN. POWERFUL. Jotted down the exact cards in his deck once I got home. We attracted a tiny crowd, consisting of small boys. That guy did told me his name, but it was so freaking noisy that I couldn't hear. Said 'orgh's anyway. I shall just keep calling him 'That guy'. He said very very very few girls actually plays pokemon cards these days. There was only 2 there, including me. He also said some of these legal modified cards with be worthless by next year. Now I know which ones to avoid.
Of course, something always happen just to make your day 'not perfect' right? Indeed. Being a Singaporean, where 'Kiasu' people lurks, I went back to the brown box after the 3 rounds, overheard a mother of 2 saying in chinese, '' these cards are free? Then might as well take everything right?'' And DUH as expected, she pretended to be all innocent, grabbing a fistful of cards, looked around as if scrutinising the compound, then bagged those cards away. Her action was then repeated. I had the urge to just stand in front of her and DARE her to steal those cards. But of course, I minded my own business.
Since my phone ran out of battery, couln'd call home, afraid yeye might worry, I went home after the horrible scene. Who knows how many that bitch stole.
Oh by the way, that triumphant booster box I bought earlier, the cashier ran back to me after some time from purchase and said his boss allowed to give me a 5 bucks discount! WOOHOO!! Great day it was.
