Complaint No#20

Should read:Suspected area of misconduct.Whatever,it's almost 4am in the morning.
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows,said Rocky Balboa,and this will be my last blogpost before I leave Subang.

It was an eerily dark night and the artificial illumination served no purpose whatsoever to curb the chilly atmosphere.And when you cross the line of the red spots,shit happens,as it happened to me.

You may hear but a humble whisper,or feel a slight tap on your shoulder.Whatever you do,please do not run,but do turn around slowly,and confront the shadow behind you.
(Warning:Not for the faint-hearted)

The shadow slowly opens his mouth and mutters a language I don't quite understand.After a few moments I realize that he had said:"Lengzai,can you speak Cantonese?",in well,Cantonese.


Exact words are lost in translation,but the shadow will tell you that he somehow invested poorly,and lost 60000-70000ringgit while claiming to be the most unfortunate soul in the world.And all he needed was a few ringgit to get back home,perhaps to his loved ones,

I had looked at him in the eye.I had sensed his sincerity.His desperation.I had believed him.I wanted to believe him.
Rule of thumb:Stranger danger,be careful with your wallet.
I still had enough sense to take 14 steps back then pull my wallet out.I gave him a 5.Thought maybe I could get a +1 for Karma,or maybe get on the good side of whoever may be out there.He had thanked me.

Last night while I was walking down the exact same street and around the right time,when there came a tap on my shoulder,and the familiar phrase..

Just maybe.But I know it not to be true.This is why people lose their faiths in other people.This is why I lost mine.

Goodbye,Subang.Goodbye,mysterious shadowy figure.

Complaint No#19


Recently,I've been rediscovering the joys of playing MapleStory.I'll cut straight to the point and write about what happened to me on a fateful night two days ago..



For those that know what a potential scroll does,internet fist bump for you.
For those that don't know what a potential scroll does,shift your gaze to the right image and press ↑+→ +ctrl V while reading it.


I'm getting derailed again.In short,I used the 90% scroll on a valuable item,and it was destroyed.Wiped off the surface of the world.Gone.Kapoof.Like his mother never even gave birth to him.


Emotions aside,this got me thinking.What happened to the other 90%?I mean,wouldn't there be another 9 parallel worlds,where I had passed the scroll?

Now before I get ahead of myself,there's this theory of parallel universes.For every action one performs,one creates another parallel identity where the action was not performed,or simply performed in a different manner or time.Comprende?


This may sound subjective,but I refuse to believe this world,the only world where i destroyed my item,is the sole universe that exists.That makes me sad.I believe that there are 9 other joyous mes,instead of the me,stuck in this gloomy world.


Would they be wondering about me instead?About what happened to the 10th guy?Would they be writing another complaint like me?Maybe this is the only unique blog post in 10,000 worlds?

Complaint No#18

Meeples is a shop that sells you games.Not those flashy animated 8-gigabytes video games,but actual real life board games.

Don't get me wrong,they don't have games like Chess or Monopoly and all those conventional games,instead they have games like..



Dominant Species.Where you evolve your abilities to rise above all other animals.
How's that for awesome?

Or why don't you have a taste at Fast Food:The Game?

I didn't actually play it,but it had cards and burgers and fries.Suitable for all ages that are addicted to fast food.







And if you're feeling extremely geeky and want to practice your godlike APM,why don't you try Starcraft and Warcraft:The Board Game?

I'm a Starcraft fan and I didn't even know they had board games.
The game we played was called Bang!,a fast paced Mexican shootout game.

Basically you have 4 jobs,a Sheriff,a Deputy Sheriff,a Renegade,and the rest are Outlaws.Nobody knows who's who except the Sheriff,who has to reveal himself before the game starts.

Outlaws' Objective:Kill the Sheriff.
Sheriff's Objective:Kill all the outlaws.
Deputy Sheriff's Objective:Protect the Sheriff at all costs.
Renegades Objective:Lie in wait until all other players are eliminated except the Sheriff,then proceed to killing him.

You have tonnes of action cards and equipment cards,but that's a story for another day.



The character i played was Pedro Ramiree,aka the shittiest character in the whole damn game.

I mean,look at his kind oval face.We're talking about a game where you're supposed to kill the goddamn opponent here.Pedro looks like a farmer that worries more about his pigs than a Mexican shootout.Which probably explains why his ability is one of the worst in the game.He enables you to draw one card from the discard pile.

Now there are two down sides to that:
1)Every player on the table knows which card you took.
2)The last card is probably some shitty card your opponent discarded to clear his hand.Which means that 90% of the chance the cards I can draw are shit.

Anyone named Pedro probably dies first in the movie anyways.All the other characters are mean cool looking bad guys,complete with cloaks and scars.Pedro just looked fat and chubby.

But it was fun though,and Meeples provides free games of the week.Definitely going back again.
