So many games, so little time

It's a problem that plagues all grown up gamers. When we were young, it's easy to justify spending hours in front of the TV or monitor to play games and only stopping to eat, shower and pray, with the latter two almost always skipped or held back as long as possible.

Now we are mature(?) adults, it's hard to justify that anymore. Other than grown up stuff such as jobs, bills and maybe family, there is also other things in life that we learn to do along the way. Perhaps a new hobby, more TV shows and so on.

Then some of us, got really into it and spend all of our waking moments in games, or be able to be free from parents support and spend all of our money in games. Either getting all the latest consoles, to built the perfect gaming rig.

I already have a PS3, PSP Go, DS and the 3DS. Not forgetting the various games I have in my tablet (that will not charge anymore) and the games I installed in my laptop.

It's a crazy thing

Gamer searching for a life partner who will either join me in my many adventures or be tolerant enough to let me play all day long

Kingdom of Heart 2 and A Bum

Last Friday night, I wanted to buy some more games for my Ps2, because the games I played a lot are scratched so much it is no longer usable. I went to another video game shop in Kajang that is located in front of McD Kajang. I never been at this place before, and as I was surfing the DVD games, I was pleasantly surprise that they have Kingdom of Hearts 2 in English. I been looking for this game for 2 years, finally I found it. I played Kingdom of Hearts 1 before and loved it very much. Imagine Disney and the Final Fantasy world are combined together in one game. I remembered in Kingdom Hearts 1 I was in various Disney cartoon world from Alice in Wonderland to Tarzan. There is even a level in Winnie the Pooh world. This second installment follows the same concept by combining the latest Disney Animated movies and Final Fantasy franchise into one game. I just can't wait to play it.

As I was getting home from Kajang and was waiting at the traffic light on my motorcycle. A stranger suddenly gave salam to me, I turned back and stared at him. He gave salam again at me, and I stared at him and then replied his salam. That guy said to me that he lost his motorbike and wants to go home. He asked me to give him a ride to the Caltex in front of Econsave. I said there is a Mobil in front of Econsave and I said I could give him a ride there.

I know its perfectly stupid to give a perfect stranger on the street a ride on my bike at night, but he was very close to me and I was the sole motorcyclist at the traffic light, I mean what if he suddenly attacked me and took off with my bike. So as I sent him to the petrol station in front of Econsave we passed a series of DARK, NON lighted exits/roads/lorongs/street corners. He told me to ride INTO those corners, I said know and that I would take him to where he wanted to go. So as we got to the DESERTED petrol station in front a BUSY road and hospital, he said to me to drive into the deserted petrol station to his some Tok Long house.

Okay I was officially freaked out, but I kept my cool. I told him nicely to get off my bike because I kept my promise and sent him to this location, at first he refused to get off and then starting to say he swears to Allah (god) that he was being honest. I was thinking HELL no, I am not THAT stupid to go into a dark alley with you.I kept my cool and told him to get off my motorbike. Mind you there was still heavy traffic near us. So as he got out and mumbled something, I sped off while he called at me. I was like, crap I got a street bum on my bike. Thank god it did not turn out violent or anything. I swear that he was touching my waist and pockets to see if I had a weapon or something. He even asked for 5 ringgit from me.

Urghh that was too close for comfort, I mean what would you do if you were alone at a traffic light and that guy got too close to you. You want to just pecut into traffic or something. I am glad I am not that naive and just kept on the public and busy roads. This is the LAST time I be nice to someone on the street.

What to do when bored?

We play tic tact to, of course. My little cousin was being very whiny and clingy to his dad so out of boredom i invited him to play tic tac to in the sand. Sure enough after 20 games he was no longer clingy and whiny while I was ready to vomit tic tact to. Its such a simple game but after a while you get hypnotized by it and start to forget the basic strategies.

This is my atuk or granduncle. He is my mother youngest uncle, the little brother to her dad. If I am not mistaken he is one 4 people who still calls me by childhood nickname, which is 'boboi". Basically in every family on my dad side there will be always one son that will get that nickname. Usually only one of all the sons will get it but some family just called all their sons boboi. Sometimes in family gathering, when one aunts or grand uncle starts to yell "Boboi!", about half a dozen of cousins will turn around to the caller. I mean most of us grew up that childhood name, but still some people close to me still uses that nickname to me.

I had to fixed my PS2 because the laser is not working as well as it should and the spinner is no longer stable which causes my DVD to be badly scratched. Instead of paying RM 200 to get it fixed, the video game store game me a deal, to get a new unit for RM 300. Which is a great deal I think considering this will last another 3-4 years. Even the price of PS3 is slowly declining. Although according to tradition, my family only buys PS when they got shrinked.
See how small the PS2 unit is, even the controller is bigger. I am waiting for PS3, shrunken version to appear. Then as usually all the siblings (actually just me, my younger bro and youngest sister) will gather our money together and then my parents will pay the rest. Its been 5 years we have done this, I still don't think I have enough cash to cough out RM 1400 for a PS3. Still not making enough actually to pay that much of cash and still have enough to eat for the rest of the month.
