Ball or Bar?

Happy Valentine's Day!


Headed to Bugis MRT after work today and met up with some friends to go Sim Lim for some purchases. Was there to get something for two colleagues while my friend was on a special mission.......The search for a mouse with ball(s).....


That's right...in an era where optical mice (using infrared technology) rule, he wants to look for the authentic mouse with ball.............claims that is the best for gaming so far........am surprised that it is really more difficult to find that these days.......


Then again.....can you find someone who is still playing Western Bar? I tried to search for it and only came across an auctioned piece in Yahoo e-Bay going at USD35! I hope they start to re-market that game......coz I would really wanna buy it..........hehehe........


The familiar sounds of Western Bar deeply implanted in my head.....


dor deh duh dor deh duh
*sound of items sliding across bar counter*


TERK! *sound of apple hitting head!*


doink chik doink chik
*animation of character losing one 'life'*


tur tur duh tur ter der tur, the tur ter duh tur
*sound sequence for game start again*


dang dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang, (pitch going lower)

dang dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang (pitch going higher)

THE ONE ON ONE fight in Western Bar!!!! Woohoo!!!!


(whoever reads the above might probably be thinking of the game and it does not really matter if I capture the spelling of the sounds correctly.....I'm sure there was that momentary transport back in time and memory)


Hmmm.....I am stuck in history for a moment...........
