Slivers, Goldmine cheesecake, and happy boys!

We went down to NYDC, Holland V, to have dinner just now. Sorta like a birthday dinner for Daniel and Vincent. Hongxuan, Vince, Gerald, Aeron, Daniel and myself. Everyone was late as usual...but then again, I'm TOTALLY used to it already...

**Edited by owner on 16 Oct 2006, 0721: Hongxuan was NOT late...in fact he was the earliest..sorry for the confusion. Bleah!

Ordered standard NYDC fare...stuffed our faces...

And had the standard Goldmine cheesecake...ultimate sin...we each had 1/6 of the entire thing...wow...i'm having tummy churns now actually...too rich, too cheesy...

The best part was when Vince opened his present, from Lionel, Dan and myself. A set of Adidas wristbands...he didn't really react to those. In fact, I don't think he really liked them...but the killer was the other gift in the little red paper bag. I bought him THIS (click on the pic for the decklist if you play Magic)!
His eyes sorta popped opened, and he started laughing uncontrollably...that was when I knew I had struck gold. Hahaha..excellent choice of present...and to think I was thinking it may have been too childish, or silly. Haha! I sure can pick them presents. Slivers are his favourite creatures in the game...and he already has an existing deck...with this addition of like, so many more new Slivers, I think his deck will become even more 'zai'...ah well... ^_^

Paul was right...sometimes, you see something that you feel is totally right for another person, and you feel this urge to buy it for that person...this was exactly how I felt when I saw the deck on the website a few weeks back. Heh...enjoy the deck Vince!

Happy Birthday Vince! We'll duel this week! My Dragons versus your Slivers!

(now...what to get for Dan...hmm.... *wracks brains*)
