At last, my swords props has arrived!
If given choice, I would prefer a metal one but I, being a bungling nincompoop wouldn't want have it.
Besides when I have kids, Bad idea to let then play with it.
So......plastic is ideal.

I was humming the 倚天屠龙记 tune by Adam Cheng in the 1980s.
Because I fantasize one of the swords to be the "Yi Tian Jian" aka in English as "The Sword of the Heavens".

I was reciting the tagline of the show:
"Dao Ba Tu Long, sei yi zheng feng,
Yi Tian How Ling tian Xia, sei bu fu cong?"

In approximate English means:
" The Blade that slays dragons; who does not contest for it?
The Sword of the Heavens reigns supreme; who does not acknowledges it?"

Which of course, makes me think of getting a "Tu Long Dao".
Later, I will get one.

My next issue to rant is the local issues of "Gamers & Non Gamers";

This is biggest thing ever to the shores of Singapore in 1999; CS or better known as
Counter Strike.
Somehow over the years, a class of people has formed from this phenomeneon:
1.) Gamers
2.) Non Gamers

Gamers are defined as people who are proficient in playing games; able to play competently in any form of games from X-box to PC to PS2.
While Non Gamers are defined as people who have coordination problems and generally can't play competently in any games platform.

I don't think so.
Anyone can be one if they can their hearts & mind to it.
Plus some training on the fundamentals of Gaming.

The so called Gamers would probably liked to keep this circle of exclusive class to themselves.
Why? It makes them feel like Superstars in their own right.
Which is why I would prefer to bring this concept of "You Game, I Game and Everyone Game" to the masses.

It gives people a sense of accomplishment and brings these "divas in the making" down to reality.
Otherwise it irks me to see these type of people swagger and boast how pro they are, how L337 they are and how many frags they chalked up.
