My vices, past and present.



While playing BigFish Games' Westward last night until 5am, I realised that I have a lot of vices, and these have changed as I grew up. Let me now recount them stage by stage.



Childhood

1. TV.

As a kid, my main MAIN vice was Kids Central, then known as TV12. Cartoons, channel 8 drama serial reruns, TV media infomercials, 7pm show, 9pm show - I lapped it all up. Mum had to set aside TV time after which I'm not supposed to watch anymore.



2. Playing with my cousin and staying over

I loved playing at my cousin's house. Run around, playing pretend, staying over and having great food cooked by aunty/grandma. The only bad thing was that my elder cousins very fierce so they always scold us :(



3. Computer games

Growing up with 1 brother and 2 male cousins about the same age, I was inducted into computers at a very young age. I remember boasting to Mingze at Primary 4 or 5 that thongkheng's house got 5 computers (it was true. 2 downstairs, 1 in the store and 2 upstairs).



With so many computers, obviously playing games on LAN was very convenient. We always did heroes, warcraft, starcraft on LAN - very very fun! I also remember helping my mum out with some data entry on Lotus Notes 1-2-3, the really old antique version.



I remember typing out commands in c:\ prompt and then gradually progressing to windows 95 which was quite cool at that time. I remember internet dial-up was super slow and always had the beep beep bop beep bop sound. And it didn't always work.

Alright I'm too tired to talk about secondary school day vices. Maybe another post :)
