Ragnarok Reunion

Met up with an old friend after the last gathering four years ago, where we then chit chatted for an hour or so while having our dinner; topics involving the previous experiences in one specific online game, where we slowly recalled the happenings. It was the very first time where a dinner with friend is a meal which is served in Chinese style, with several dishes and a bowl of rice. Other than the repeated “advice” on taking more vegetables, few stories were shared based on how, why and what happened back in the illusionary world, Ragnarok Online. There are times where people think gaming is not good for many, students especially; for it is rather addictive and influential. However, it too may change a person, bringing the best out of him, where he could learn from the mistakes and what we don’t usually do from the text books; socialising, communicating and interacting, terms with similar explanation but not thoroughly. Twenty four hours in front of the computer, a wake up call for another monster battle in the middle of the night, face to face conversation after months knowing each other, hence developed another sisterhood. Pretty cool experiences down the journey of life, despite the fact that there were some unpleasant memories where certain bonds are broken and failed to reform. Still? It is the imperfect which makes our lives perfect.
