I'm off the hook!

Hua hua hua! At about 3pm today, I went down to the data center and reset the Primary hotline number to call forward to my other colleague. I'm off the 24/7 on-call duty until late October. YES! FREEDOM!

Anyway, I though luck was going to be on my side. I didn't really expect calls on my last day... my last few hours. I went over to the KL convention center to have a look see at the World Cyber Games (WCG) 2006.

I popped by the main stage and whooped a free CD... aiyah some new Malaysian online again la. Not the original copy of WarCraft la :P Then went along to the RO (stands for Ragnarok Online, the first Malaysian online game that made it big locally) and won myself a RO CD case. I'm no RO fan so any RO fan wants it?

Just as I got off the stage... my support phone rung! Aiyor! I had to head back to the office to check on stuff.

I hung around the office for quite a bit and then left to watch people blast each other off in CS. I actually spent a long time watching the people game.

From young kids ...Standard 3 maybe... to uncle uncle.. ok maybe not that old but mid 30's? I kind of hung around till late because I read from xes.cx that Melbourne shufflers will be performing. Kind of weird if you think of it. Some bunch of nerds geeks gamers and shufflers? HUH???? Maybe they should have a game out of the Melbourne Shuffle. HAHAHAHA! I can already guess the key strokes! \/ | \/ | \/ | The audience waited for 45 minutes though. Thank god there was an impromptu NFS challenge to watch.

I have uploaded the clips to YouTube. Not going to "play" it here because the files are a little too big to for stream here. I still like to practice some good HCI here.

Clip 2
Clip 3
Clip 4. The emcee was encored to shuffle too. Hehehe.

I left for the LRT after the performance to a JAMMED PACKED LRT station. The management had to control the crowd and block off entry to the platform. I decided not to faint in the crowd so I enjoyed a piece of white chocolate macadamia nut cake at Secret Recipe. Boarded the LRT about 9pm and guess what?

Train no 205's is burning some where. At every stop when the door opens, we all could smell burnt rubber of 10 cars X 4 tires and a busted engine. Something was wrong. We all thought it was nothing serious until the management got everyone off at the KL Sentral station.

All of us were stuck. Some were smarter and left ...most probably taken a cab home.
After waiting for 15 minutes I got bored and so I recorded this.

I left the station and rung my "Daddy, can you please pick me from the KL Sentral station... I'm stuck".
