Musings…

"Noooo…you go back there now and buy the ring for me…buy the ring, THE RING for me…get it?" a voice reiterated with a lot of passion.

    In case you’re wondering, no I did not overhear a conversation between an overzealous woman trying to milk her partner dry for another precious stone on her finger. I’m sitting in the cyber cafe, shooting like colored balls in my game of Chuzzle as usual to pass my lazy Saturday, and to be quite honest, cannot help feeling a little amazed by the world of games, gamers and all those mythical creatures that only exist in their world.

   "Faster.." the person persisted. "Or else i g.g already ***tooting g.g I tell you..hawhaw…do you know what you’re doing? Oh my gord, there’s the banshee…a banshee, u know?…a woman ghost…OH, OHHH, I die already…faster revive me…"

    I stifled the laughter bubbling up my throat. A series of guffaws erupted followed by blood curdling screams……from the bunch of young MALE adults sitting on the row opposite mine…presumably the team has ‘died-ed’ murdered by the banshee or whatever woman ghost they were battling…

   "Hoi…bloody cheating man…the killer is waiting by the base to toot***toot***tooot me…"

    Mirth oh mirth…I shake my head in amusement and roll my eyes. It’s a wonder how people like me from the ‘outside’ world could ever get used to that twisted (arhmm…I mean magical) journey gamers indulge in every once so often…nor could I get used to the transfixed faces once the game begins…the kind that translates to "smash my car into pieces for all I care so long as I’m playing…or cut my nipples and feed it to the pigs…as long as you don’t disturb my game…" You’d wonder whether the soul has flown away leaving just the pulp that’s the body. Oh, and did you know it is the biggest sin EVER to leave an online game that’s ongoing? Arrgghhh-exasperation…But then what would a non-gamer know,I’m thrown the question a gazillion times…yeah, you’re right, what would a person who only thrills in shooting like colored balls know now would she? Erm..I’d say I know something about…reality maybe…and realization that the whole world whizzes by while the game is ongoing…

    Admittedly, it’s kinda cute at times though, especially when I’m an observer like I am today with nothing to do to pass the time…here I am witnessing the so-called ‘male-bonding’ session first hand…amidst the heehaa and hoohoo and toottoottoot litany of curses, I could almost feel the easy camaraderie between the big boys. It reminds me of youth and a sense of being carefree somehow…god knows I need to be reminded sometimes in this rat-race life…

   Anyway, I’m just posting to pass the time and also to let those people who are wondering what’s happened to the crazy blogger know that I’m still alive and kicking…too many vacations…too many agendas…and too much moving about makes lazy bones I must say. But it’s been all good. After Phuket, there was PD, and then, there was Genting, followed by Penang. Time to settle down before the big vacation of the year early this December…Korea Korea here I come! Yippety hoo! :p Rightey then, cheers everybody…don’t be sadsad, Raya Hols are over & time to start the engines and get some serious work done before the year end festivities get you into a lazy hazy mood yet again. Muahh muahh.
