After i have gotten bored playing Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars series, i was itchy playing games again. I've started playing games since i was 7...i think i was 7...the first game console i had is micro genius...my father would spend hundreds of ringgit buying game cartridges. Just imagine that time, micro genius cartridges would cost 100-150! Being a kid i am...what do i care...i just wanted to play games and my father would bought it just to make sure i do not play outside the house. Sounds bad isn't it? Nope...actually it was good thing for me and my parents would feel relieved...
My parents house situated somewhere secluded...my parents' house when in early 90's is underdeveloped and have a lots of woods surrounded, not to mentioned, abandoned house development at the back of the house. Before i was presented with video games, i used to play a lot in the woods and at the abandoned housing area. I used to slingshots monkeys and dogs, play somewhere nearby small swamps (oh yes! there are few small swamps around)...bump and bruises, dirty all the times and being naughty (very naughty in the scale of 10, i would be 10) does not concern my parents. What my parents concern was if shits happens while i was playing in the those dangerous places. So my father decided to give me a video game.
I was hooked with it...can't stop playing it day and night...it was pure ecstacy for 7 year old me. I do play outside twice a week with my friends...but most of the time...i will be infront of the tv and playing video games. Few years afterwards...the gaming technology gets better and better...my father bought me SNES (Super Nintendo) and few years after that, the Playstation. I remembered my neighbourhood friends was racing to show who got the better game console, from sega, to super nintendo, that time it was fun, exhanging games, who said playing video games does not make you new friends. I make a lot of friends...but something freaky tho' with my neighbourhood. There is always a season for everything. I remembered there was biking season, you see every kids in the neighbourhood getting a mountain bike...and so does i...then, there is roller blades season...hey, i'm not excluded...i do have a pair....then badminton season...all the kids will play badminton...rounders season...and bla bla bla...but those things stop when most of the kids becoming teenagers...well, good things bound to phase out...the streets getting quieter every year...no longer there is season of something...no longer i see my friends...they all grown up and becoming adults...well that is another story for it...
In my secondary school years...i spent little time with my friends...after school, off i go sprinting back home just to taste my playstation...i stopped playing games when i entered varsity. I got a car...and off i go being young adult...hanging out with friends, socializing...my mother got worried again...so she told my brother to do something to control my "outings"...Simple solution it is...my brother bought me Playstation 2...HEH...no playstation can stop me from hanging out...i do play playstation 2 my brother bought me...after graduating...i stopped playing games ...end up my brother addicted playing games...haha...Well eventually i got married...and there goes my bachelor life style...hmm what do in my free times...yes! video games of course...my brother bought himself a Playstation 3...BUT there is not a lot of games...i started playing pc games last year...and off i go...consumed with joy like i used to be when i was 7.
Buying games or a console is not an option for me due to financial constraint...so pc games is a good choice...buying the pirated dvd games?...fuck you...a technology literate i am...I download it of course! After few rounds of CNC...i was itchy again...what games i want to play...i missed playing final fantasy tactics...so there i was...finding a way to play final fantasy games...hmm...aha! there is a way to play those "antic" games on pc...here me out for those who don't know...u can't play console games on pc platforms...after some readings...kaching! there is a way...the first trial and error is final fantasy tactics for gameboy...now i played console and handheld games on my pc...what a bliss, what a bliss!
Amazed with pc technology...we can do anything with it...but with limitations of course...after finishing my gameboy games...i'm moving on to playstation games...oh u must be wondering...what happened to my playstation (psx, psone) console...broken of couse...since i have a way to play playstation games on my pc...who fuck cares about buying the console....the best part...its fucking free...Last week i came home as usual...then there is some peculiar thing under my dad's 52" Plasma TV....well, i do not bother much about it until my brother came home...
Me: Brother, what is that thing...?? Big Bro: Wii... Me: Heh...u bought wii? Banyak duit...(yes my brother have a lot of money) Big Bro: No...i traded it with my PS3...since PS3 doesn't have pirated games...so traded it off with somebody who is dying to get a PS3...so the dude agreed to trade with his wii... Me: Heh...very smart... Big Bro: I need a game that moves a lot... Me: Wii...i don't think it will make u sweat! Big Bro: (Chuckles)...u'll see
How wrong i was....it was a tiring game...u have to move a lot...i mean A LOT...i break my sweat after 15 minutes playing it...cool! Doubling my bliss...my brother's wii...now...i do not have to worry a lot about free time...i can choose to play my games on pc...or if i feel a bit "diligent"...i will play with the wii....In case you guys wondering how to play gameboy/nintendo DS/playstation on your pc...ask me...
Ta-da! One of the gameboy games i've successfully executed on my notebook
Sometimes we compare ourselves to our peers, some we feel good because life has been good to us but some felt that life does not fair. We see a lot more on unfairness, this unfairness overshadow the feel good area. So, i've done some thinking and comparing myself with my peers. Hence come the 10 reasons why its good to be me.
Education Level not so high - Salary Quite High.
Got Car and finalizing getting a house.
Still have a job!
Got a bike
Got a wife
Will soon be a father
Job not so demanding (flexbile hours, no pressure, no chasing datelines) - highly paid!
Boss does not breath on my neck/care what i do/does not disturb me
Happy
My life ain't that shitty (always been good)
Not so much of list but hey...most important, i'm not miserable and whining whats shitty about life...for once, be grateful what we have compared to other people who is less fortunate. Some of friends, lost their job...some of friends, highly educated, but the salary is so-so...
Be grateful for those who is fortunate. I just hate whiners.
Ungkapan yang selalu aku ucapkan tatkala di melayari "sungai hitam" DUKE. Sebelum ada DUKE, aku selalu merentasi mahameru, bangsar dan terus ke federal highway...hari2 aku akan sumpah seranah sebab ade pemandu kereta yang kurang alert dengan pengunaan side mirror dan terus pangkah lane...dah banyak kali aksi sebegini aku lakukan:
"PUKIMAK PUNYA MANUSIA!" atau "BONGOK LESEN AMIK KAT INDON KE" atau "HOI!"
Sambil melayangkan JARI BANGSAWAN ketika terpekik...sedikit extreme...aku menendang sisi pintu, kalau dia berani...meh lah berhenti tapi jalan...selalunya pembawa kereta memang berani nak marah org...tapi bila jumpa org yg lebih berani selain dari marah...mereka akan akur dengan kehendak aku...iaitu...minta ampun sama aku...sebab jalan ni, bapak aku punya...atau aku punya...hhaahaha...kembali dari tersasarnya cerita sebenar.
Aku tak lagi ikut jalan jam strawberry tuh...sebab menyusahkan aku untuk merempit dengan kuasa maksima...kawan aku suggest guna duke dan terus ke nkve...aku tak tahu...sekarang aku dah tahu...jalan kosong je walaupun PEAK HOURS! ajaib? bukan dong...sebab tol dia mahal...1 tol kalau dah cas rm2...saper tak menitik air mata hari2 geng. Jalan yg berjutaan ringgit tuh...moto je banyak pakai...terima kasih rakyat malaysia yg kedekut...tak pernah aku bawak kurang dari 130km/j...selalunya 140km/j...sekali sekala 160km/j....tapi tak syoknya...highway tu jadi tumpuan superbike juga...sepi jiwa aku rasa apabila sedang enak merentasi...vrrroooom...aiseh...sekali moto besar da yg memecut...
Jiwa aku memberontak....aku juga ingin moto besar....
