i am addicted

it all started with the problem of waiting.

i was surfing through my routine reads this afternoon on an snail-paced connection line. being the typical multi-tasking woman that i am, i was not contented to sit idly by whilst the computer loads the pages bit by bit, or is it byte by byte?

anyway, i opened up a game that i have long abandoned - minesweeper, to help me pass the time as line by line of information is being transferred. beats nodding off, i figured. by the third blog though, i was hooked. damn! i have forgotten how addictive this game can be. all those office hours idled away behind the monitor, as i clicked on the small squares and tried to look busy at the same time. hours spent trying to figure out where those mines were until i dreamt of them at night.

i'm sorry, i have no time for an update today. i have to get back to my computer. errrr....urgent matters are awaiting me.

hasta la vista!

LOL... minesweeper is my favorite game too, I remember last time I can play it from night until next morning just to break my own record in expert level... 88 seconds :P

sengkor said...

What are your best times? I remembered getting 4 seconds for Beginner level. That was hard, and required lots of luck...

titoki said...

I like bejeweled. Hooked and sinker. ;)

me said...

dear ian: 4 seconds? what's hard about that ? - it must have been pure luck! kakaka. best times ah? let's talk about something else *trying to change subject*......

dear titoki: that one also 'ngam ngor' leh. don't get me started on any computer game. psychiatrist has diagnosed me as ocd - obsessive compulsive behaviour! :-p

Las montañas said...

i highly recommend: age of empires, or SIMCITY.

U-Jean said...

i was so happy when i got 12secs for the beginners level. so i was so happy and gleefully bragging to my friend about my time. and she went, really? i got 6secs". and all my maruah came crashing down

Cocka Doodle said...

I'm addicted to the pinball wizard game. Blast the speakers for full effect. KNN! CCB! are commonly heard from my room whenever the TILT sign hits. LOL

me said...

dear monty: get me hooked on those 2 and you can say goodbye to this blogger. there will never be anymore updates.

dear u-jean: kakakaka. in which case, tell your friend that ianfluenza (see above) took only 4seconds for the beginner's level. :-) there will always be someone better, so tell your maruah to come back :-D

dear cocka: :-D hey, i was playing that before the minesweeper. but somehow, not being able to push the machine or hit it a few times like the real one, not as shiok lah.

I think ME needs a tagbox like LM (aka Monty) so we can leave you obscene messages when you're not looking. Where's your baby picture? Not going to post one on your avatar? :D

Jonzz said...

hmm... not throwing laptop batteries? Playing minesweeper? Ha ha, this is the first time I'm leaving a comment here. No updates?

me said...

dear ah pek: first you buy a new broom and an air ticket to vietnam / cambodia. then you sweep sweep and see whether you trigger off any bombs that will blow you to smithereens. :-)

dear imd: there, there, don't cry. sayangggggg ah.

dear monty: didn't eat dinner? god forbid! food is very important to me!

dear annie: but with popular people like you and monty, who will have time to come over to my tagbox? even ME go to your tagbox for chats. i don't even hang around here myself! *sob sob*

hmmmmm....baby pics? i've got something up my sleeve but not for the avatar. *grins*

dear jonzz: owwwww, just when i did a disappearing trick, you paid a visit. and i wasn't here to welcome you. sorry. update coming right up.
