13 and a Champion of Games

Yes ! At the age of 13 I was already a top console games Champion in Malaysia. Our homes were lined with trophies from every tournament and championship in the last 3 years. Me and my 2 brothers were the most popular gamers in the country simply because we won at every tournament from ATARI to COLECO VISION consoles basically from every games genre we were the best - Donkey Kong, Sega F1 and Centipede.

Were we that good ?

Basically we were better than other kids simply because our mom allows us to play games non-stop everyday. So practise makes perfect and we became damn good at it.

Then there was the National Championship and that year we had very strong competitors whom knows more about the games tricks than us. There were 2 key competitors we pointed out among ourselves - (a.) A family whom their dad also encourages them to win the Chanpionship and had helped them analys the game. (b.) A group of non-schooling kids whom hangs out at the shopping playing the game everyday for hours.

They had better play mechanics.
We lost at the first 4 state tournaments as only the No.1 gets to go to the finals. Looking back it's crazy ... we wanted so badly to be in the finals so we traveled to 3 different states to make sure we get into the finals. After we got into the finals we knew we need to understand what's their play mechanics are or else we may still lose at the finals.

We had a plan.
Become friends with both competitors and get them to teach us their secrets. Being friend with the kids is easy, we took them for good dinners and ais creams ... ta da ... they shared their game play with us. Then come the family which it took us a little more time but this time we challenge them while my 2 other brothers study his move.

Guess who won the Championship finals?

The Fight and The Power

I was sitting at the canteen taking my lunch when suddenly I felt something was not right. Around me was about 10+ of those dudes whom I topple their event. They came up and asked me to pay for their losses. I told to them to 'F' but it was a mistake I learned as we broke into a fight and it was just me against a dozen or so bad ass.

It was no Jackie Chan movie, even with my Tae Kwon Do black belt I was not able to fight like Jet Li. Luckily I managed to grab the canteen bench and I wack like a crazy man who-ever who stands in my way.

The fight ended when teachers and etc prefects rushed to the scene. I was badly hurt, a black eye, bleeding nose and mouth. Bruises all over my hands and legs. Torn shirt. The ambulance came and I was thinking shit was it that serious ? Where was I hurt that serious ? Oh ! It was not for me but one of those dudes whom I hit him accidentally with the bench on his head and he was bleeding, his white shirt was covered in blood.

11 of us was taken to the hospital.

My school discipline teacher wanted to expel me from school. But he cant do so as the next day my dad went to school and told the headmaster that this fight was serious and that the school have gangsters and he wants to bring this to the press. This was bad reputation for the school indeed and my head master knows I m a popular guy at the press. He expel 2 guys from the gang instead.

This was not over for I knew they would come and hit me again. I knew I had to get help quick and its not from my dad. How to deal with mini ganngsters was to use the bigger gangsters ... I called the boss of the disco as I knew he surely have such connections. He dispatched 2 guys to me and I meet the gang whom came with 20+ school dudes. But as soon as they saw the 2 guys that came with me they sorta like had a big surprise. They told them that if they know who they are then they should know I m as I m their boss providing them with a job managing security at the club.

After that day the mini gangsters dare not bother me anymore. That's Power.

The Competitions

After a few months other teams started to copy my events and launch their own. This include my 3rd brother whom was organizing smaller events at a much smaller club. He was helping for sometime and had learned the trick of the traits.

I dont mind smaller events but I will not allow anyone or any new group to topple my mini empire. So when there was a big event coming forward I device a plan to kill them completely.

I knew they booked a huge hall at a local Church and hired a mobile disco company to spin music and lightings. To me it was the perfect inexperience move - their cost was high. I had no cost at all back then as I negotiated a revenue sharing deal with the largest disco club in the city. So 2 weeks before their event I announce in a big way - SPECIAL THANKS CONCERT we hired a semi-famous singer for my event which coincide on the same day and time as theirs.

The best part was we announced my event was FREE with FREE drinks as a thanks for everyone support. I had the disco boss support to kill off any potential competition. We packed a FULL HOUSE and they my competitors lost a lot of money. To make matters worst I make a call to the Church to complain about the event that's its not right to organize such an event at a Church.

Now this group was not any tom dick and harry. They were a group of gangsters or mini mafia dudes at schools *linking several schools or something like that. They vow revenge on me which lead to me having the biggest fight in my school history.
