i can never understand why people are unfazed by mass killing sprees happening all over the world, but get so interested in a mere case of folly. reading monday's paper, i cannot help but feel guilty of what happened to my ex-classmate in year 1 and 2. because of that, i feel i am consceincelessly tasked to speak up for my friend, the one who sat through lessons (boring or interesting) in silence and most likely in desolation, the one who fills the sides so that we can get on with our soccer game in fairness, and the one who never declined my request to get a bottle of drink when i'm so lazy. the best (or worst) part of it - his first words to me when i asked if he wanted to play together during P.E in the field were, "don't want, i scared my shoe dirty, my mom scold." holy angel, find me anyone that can be less rebellious than him in this blue goddamn education institution.

somehow, syafiq was influenced by the famous foreign series, Prison Break, while he was struggling with his computer addiction. when a question like, "Has technology overpower human?" appear in your composition test, remember to add that technology has the ability to take control of a life. he was too engrossed in games like maplestory and counterstrike, both i once was hooked on to temporarily.

shit, maplestory? i have no idea. you move your character in a situated 17" monitor with your arrow keys at the bottom right hand corner of your keyboard, and attack 'enemies' (that aren't really enemies because the only thing they do that deserves to be named as the gamer's enemy is drop a blue coloured shell instead of a gold ore, in which no physical harm is done) that waddle on pavements, tearing across your monitor in a horizontal direction. your character will gain experience by killing a snail. no, shift your pupils 5 fingers back, and read that again. your character will gain experience by killing a snail. now read that aloud 10 times. your character will gain experience by killing a snail. and then pull your dad by the ear and shout at the top of your voice, "my bloody character just gained EXP because he killed a bloody fucking snail, the size of a mouse cursor!" if your dad doesn't slap your face and burst your pimples, you'll be in IMH in 10 minutes. FUCK - you gain experience by killing a dumb looking virtual snail! man, forget about the Os. run to the nearest garden and start killing snails. when job applying, tell that guy wearing a suit and tie that you have killed 16 000 snails, therefore, you deserve the job.

oh, when it comes to counterstrike, it is an entire new story. counterstrike makes sense - to be patriotic and defend your country at all means and in all circumstances. and yes, the best part - it only requires a mouse and keyboard to do so! now, you have an excuse to tell your mom why you wanted that phillip starck sensor mouse so badly the last time you guys were at Comex. with a mouse and the fingers on your left hand, you smack on the letters W, A, S and D to manoeuvre your character. upon seeing an enemy (that isn't an enemy because he didn't break your D40x), your right index finger will perform a standard left click action to 'fire' invinsible bullets. as lame as a table. at least a table has 4 legs. all of the above mentioned must be in sync to attain the best gaming experience. oh yes, the best part of it is when you 'die' (or get shot by invinsible bullets), you can have a holy reincarnation in less than a minute (as compared to others who take their entire life trying to attain the holy nirvana) because of the glorious mercy of guan yin ma. at several presses on characters on your keyboard, you get a Mp5 Navy that appear from nowhere. you turn to your right and you see a 'team mate' holding a knife, and the next moment, a Sniper Magnum. your turn to your left and again you see a 'team mate' holding a knife, but this time, it changes to a khaki coloured crate that is supposedly a C4 bomb. you turn to your back and again see a 'team mate' holding a knife, and then suddenly disappear because he knows teleporting. NO, because his mom tripped over his internet phone connection cable!

after a short chat with mr james tan on wednesday, i learnt something - in the very first place, don't land yourself in such a situation where you have to resort to violence. if syafiq wasn't too engaged in computer games, he wouldn't have break into somebody's house to satisfy his computer gaming addiction, and therefore wouldn't have stabbed somebody. for everybody's sake, stop all the DOTA, CS, MAPLESTORY, RUNESCAPE, NEOPETS (wtf to you if you still play), AND GUANVARDO ESPARDAFUCKTHEFUCKINGSPELLING. if you're bored, go pull your baby brother's ears. if you're still bored, take a piece of tissue paper, hold it up high, let go of it and see how it floats to rest. if you're still still bored, GET YOURSELF A BLOG WHERE YOU CAN GET BACK AT ME!

time to sleep after one of the most tiring school day in my entire life. see how my classmates went into a frantic frenzy to try as they might to complete their design and technology coursework. gooooooodbye.
