How hardcore is hardcore?

This question has been bothering me for sometimes as i really want to know how hardcore is hardcore. As many of you might had known that currently i'm working at a lanshop located at Peninsular Plaza. I will be taking over the sister-shop, Gamester from tomorrow onwards. What is the different between the main shop and gamester is that gamester does not opened 24hours. Since i'm sort of like taking over the shop tomorrow, I will have a schedule like 2:30pm-8:30pm on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday while it will be 10:30pm on Wednesday and Friday. However, I will not be closing the shop on Friday as it will be opened till Saturday morning and the night shift people will takeover at 10:30 that day. Eventhough i'm excited but equally nervous as well since i had a bad memories during the time at Giant. I'm really afraid that i might do the same mistakes again especially when it comes to money.

Ok now back to my original question, how hardcore should a player be consider hardcore? I suddenly thought of this during work when i saw this guy playing games. He is probably in his 30s from his look with unkempt hair and quite untidy feeling. He came the same time when i took over from KC, but he paid the deposit of $40 straight instead of the usual $10. By the time i left before 6:30pm, he had not even used up $20 yet since 1hour = $1.80 which you can play up to 5hours or so with $10. I can imagine that he will be staying at the shop till morning if he used up all his deposits. I considered myself as an avid gamer but never a hardcore gamer after seeing his case. Anyway, this is not the first time i'm seeing him play there. I heard from my fellow colleague that he is always there for gaming marathon.

Anyway, i'm going to sleep now. Got to prepare for my "big day" tomorrow right!!! HAHA

It's been so long....

Well isn't it long since i had last updated this blog. HAHA, sorry guys i had been busy, very busy. I'm having a new job now and had been really happy with it. The best job i had in my life. Eventhough it's quite busy at times at least it's much better than that faggot Giant cashiering thing.

The world cup had started and the teams that i rooted for won their first matches in group stages of the tournament. Firstly, i got to admit that England really do flop in their first match. Without that own goal, i doubted they could get away with 3 points without that goal. England really lacked ideas and creativities during that match. None of the players were eye-catching during the match as well. I think they got to think twice about their "favourites" tag if they continue to perform like this. The 2nd team i supported is Korea. Yeah, Korean rocks eventhough i missed that match due to work. They cameback from a 1-0 trail to a 2-1 victory. Both goals involved Park Ji-Sung indirectly. As most Man Utd or PSV fans should know, Park is the kind of players that had this great technical abilities but yet they had been overlooked and underrate. The first goal came when Park fell just in front of the 6 yards box from a tackle. Since he was the last man, the referee had no choice but to sent the player that brought down Park off from the 2nd bookable offence. Lee Chun-Soo makes no mistakes when he converts a beckham-style freekick. The 2nd goal was a nice fake by Park himself to let Ahn Jung Hwan, the hero of the 2002 world cup, scored the winning goal for Korea. So Korea is currently top of the table as France drew with Switzerland.

Go Korea!!!!!!!!!!!

Ghost Of You

Michael Learns To Rock - Ghost Of You

Summer's ended and without a trace
time goes by - while you remain
Funny how I thougt I walked on through
with my heart in one

(chorus:)
Why do I still cry for you
dying to get close to you
Why do I still fear to face the ghost of you

How I tried to get you of my mind
but you return - all the time
I believed I could just let you go
like the fool I am

(chorus:)

Why do I still cry for you
dying to get close to you
Oh baby why do I still fear to face
the ghost of you

(Release:)

I've been trying to release you
to get my feet back on the ground
Still I need my hope to hold on to
even if I know i should back away
It's just a part of me that I can't erase

(chorus:)

Why do I still cry for you
dying to get close to you
Why do I still fear to facethe ghost of you

(Outro:)

Baby, baby why
Anyway I try I'm still reminded(the ghost of you)
Anywhere I go I keep coliding with(the ghost of you)
I've given up I just can't fight it(the ghost of you)
Everytime I look away I see
the ghost of you

Hi all, long time no blog as i'm really busy with work. Went to my graduation yesterday and i must say that it's really nostalgic when meeting up old friends and stuff. Catch up with some talks and chat about things after we left. I think that most likely the last time. I doubted there will be another chance that the whole class come together again to talk once more. You know typing this reminded me of the song, This Is The Last Time by Keane. HAHA, weird. Well like the song that's being played during the video presentation by Boys II Men, it's indeed hard to forget about yesterday. How i wished i would treasure my 2 years in MacPherson. If there is a way, i will definately travel back to that faithful July 2004 and try reliving everything again.

Anyway, today is 666 which is the number of the beast. I was talking to my sis that my mother shld had given birth to me 19 years later so i can call myself Damien, which is the name of the supposed son of satan. hahahaha
