The Rubik's cube

Here comes the Rubik's cube fanaticism again. I can see many of my juniors holding or playing with the cube in my previous school ( although toys are inhibited in school ) . Well I had almost stopped playing it since last year because it would be boring once you had understood the way to solve it and couldn't beat your fastest record after solving it repeatedly for about hundreds time in using the same method. However learning it is fun and challenging as it is not as hard as what people expect.

The video above is my fastest record after addicted to it for three months :)

Malaysia style

Note : I write this for fun :p

DotA a.k.a Defence of the Ancient is a renowned custom scenario which involves 10 players or less per round. The objective of each team ( 5 players ) is to destroy the opponent's Ancient, heavily guarded structures at the opposing corners of the map.

However, it is familiar to every online player that most of the Malaysia players are now somehow showing disrespect towards this game.

They play self-centered and arrogantly. They quit the game whenever they want, leaving the other teammates in misery. They often wrangle for whole game long just because someone has insulted : " u r noob " ( Ya I could hardly find anyone who does use proper English while communicating in the game, they tend to use "me" rather than "I" ) . They coin their own rude words to drag the opponent's parents of even ancestors into their quarrels.

I have been accustomed to the lack of courtesy among the less-educated players in the infested Malaysia room. I would just prefer to type "msia style" or remain silent whenever I encounter this :p

Games

I enjoy playing games. The games I used to play are just numerous.

When I was 5, I enjoyed playing hide-and-seek. Despite of suffering by hiding myself inside a hot and stuffy narrow cupboard for a maximum of 30 minutes, I would ridicule my brother for a whole day long after he had forsaken his attempt in seeking me. It was very proud for every child to win such a game. I will still be laughing at my stupidity whenever I recall it. I played shoes-hiding too. My mum did warn me that she would not buy me a pair of new shoes if I lost my shoe ( we hid only one shoe each ) again.

When I was 7, I was a Mario fanatic. It seemed not to be a boring task for me to save the princess from the giant monstrous king everyday, countlessly, in the same way. Pac-Man happened to be one of my favourite arcade games too. I screamed loudly when the four ghosts eventually sieged my Pac-man while there were only a few pac-dots left.

When I was 9, I started learning chess. I participated my first chess competition and it ended up brutally. I was checkmated within a few steps by a national level opponent showing no mercy towards me. Anyway, it didn't change my passion towards chess. I love the game.

When I was 10, everyone around me was absolutely engrossed in playing Pokemon. The most popular topic of the conversation among my friends and I at that time was the way we train a Pikachu.

I wonder how dull my life will be if there were no such games. I love gaming =)
