Man found dead at his home computer terminal
By Carolyn Quek
A 20-YEAR-OLD unemployed man was found dead slumped over his computer at home on Wednesday afternoon.

Mr Ong Yi Biao was alone at home that day, and had logged onto his computer at about 11am to play the game, Defence of the Ancients.

When his 14-year-old sister returned to their Geylang Bahru rental flat at about 4pm, she found him slumped in his chair.

On Tuesday night, Mr Ong had fainted in front of the same computer, said his grieving mother. She said she was teaching him how to play mahjong on the Internet when he passed out for about a minute. She did not say if medical attention was sought then.

Mr Ong's sister on Thursday told reporters at the mortuary that her brother had been playing computer game with eight other players.

While the game would usually take about an hour to complete, Mr Ong had only played for about 12 minutes, she said.

Mr Ong's 50-year-old mother said that he was her eldest son and she had bought him the game after he completed his national service last September.

He was not an avid gamer, his family said, and would not spend more than two hours at a stretch on the computer.

He had a medical history of asthma but his condition had been stable and he was not on any medication for it.

His family added that Mr Ong, who dropped out of school at Secondary Three, had planned to to take up a computer course at a private school."


Of course, knowing DotA players, comments were made:
"Wah! Play DotA get first blood too chi kek liao!"

"Hah! Must have been a leaver!"


The shooting for episode 1 of Just A Game is over! Yes! Now I can go home before the sky turns dark everyday.

Btw, talk about the monday blues. Carmen threatened to punch me when I asked her what time the accounts test tomorow is.

:(

On the brightside, Claire is an avid DotA player.

However, Accounts test and Legal essay will be on tuesday and wednesday...

...and thankfully not on thursday or friday, because that's when FORENSICS IS!

That'll be it for today. My books call, my scripts yearn.

I will leave you with this one thought:
Is be or is be not, is be one big damn puzzler.
