Deciperous Moments With Magic Rings

How Bad a Day, Roger

Jenny and Lenmark sunk into manifestation of Swirling Destiny, when the bleak Speech was given by the Parisian sous-chef.
    “I was not for you, just part of the journey.”
     Jenny and Lenmark found this daunting. Struggles, warfares, all culminated in a peaceful, meditative atmosphere, just to be dispersed that mercilessly by a tactless, albeit well-prepared, comment.
     It was an impromptu Gaming Gala that Saturday. Trademarks were all at rage, as they played a few, just at least, they were about to play them.
     Before they knew what to play, they had a very Southeast-Asian breakfast, which had been Nasi Lemak with curry puffs.
     They were ushered into a computer room, where they played Yip Xiaopeng’s Civilbuilder(tm) (Video Game).
     That was a bouncy room; many came and went back happily before, but exactly on that day, the folks were in a different mood—something to call their own.
     The participants played on different roles in the Civilbuilder (tm) game, taking on major issues civilization(s) might face, and act accordingly.
     As an advisor, Lenmark receives order from the Lord of the Land, acts accordingly, advises the Lord accordingly, predicts major trends and manages major citizenry affairs. However, that was just a game that had been too enjoyable to play.
     As a science advisor, Jenny predicts major scientific breakthroughs, sets the technological direction, becomes the impetus for scientific buildings, and leads the solutions team. They were all rather happy to play the game, and in every five years, they have to switch their virtual job.
     “Rodgey, have you had your bread?” Someone clearly was mistaken there as well, and then they proceeded with the next game, after a short break. They managed to play 7 virtual years only though.
      “What a pity, I thought we could well have...” Jenny stopped her comment when she saw the Golden Bingo(tm) game.
       In the Golden Bingo(tm) game, the numbers are covered in red chips, followed by gold chips when it was called out, once or twice, respectively.
       The aim of the game is to strike a “Golden Bingo”, which entitles the winning of a prize. All were fairly attracted to the game.
       “What was the prize then?  Is it halal?” Fatine asked the competition organiser on how the game was handled.
       “Worry not, just a bucket of ‘Heaty-and-spicesome chicken’ as the sole prize, to be shared with whoever around. Sure this is sharing, something reciprocable to loving kindness,” Mr. Tang the Organiser replied.
       And, indeed, Fatine won the game, and shared the bucket of chicken with her jolly good friends. She said, “Thank Allah for that, for it is just a friendly game, with no apparent malice indeed.”
       They then returned to the Computer Room and started the Dupermbreen(tm) game. They played together, to gather chips and upping their prosperpower (tm), before achieving some illustrious  win. Jenny’s group was first, whereas Lenmark’s group became first-runners-up.
       The organiser then randomized the participants again, for the karaoke session, which took place at the Asian-All-Pop(tm) karaoke lounge.
       It was good that certain requests to change groups were eventually processed and let be.
      Lenmark sang a song called “Brozen”, and it became an instant hit, with numerous Tube-it(tm) hits, for his friends had uploaded it, for a better known reason. Bromance? I bet so, so did Jenny.
      As the Challenge was drawing to a close, Jenny and Lenmark were invited to a closing party, featuring a reknown fashion show, called Spritzgala Fashion Festival.
      At the opening speech, Professor McUsophilos gave her famous speech, as below:
      =======================================

Ladies and Gentlemen,
      We are delighted to have your enchanting company tonight.
      After years of working Life, many wonder how they could use their money to the merit of others. Some gave happily, while to some others, they would like to see others having productive lives, too, and they started to wonder on how they would do it.
      To me, I joined many organizations and worked with different peoples as well. Never did I see people, or at least hardly, did I ever see people working without any apparent motivation.
      Motivation, as I formulated it, would consist of comfort and beauty.
      After this fashion show, there would be a heart-warming buffet session for you all.
      Hope you would enjoy our enchanting fashion show. Have a nice day.

       ================================================
      What followed the sonorous round-of-applause was a series of energy-flowing fashion show. Never did the fashion spirit cease to influence the audience, all for their eyes of beauty.
      Some stunning works were featured,  such as clothes made of crude tree barks, to mirror our ancestors' Palaeolithic spirit.
      Some post-modern artwork fashion, such as designer T-shirt with dangling-coloured plastic bottle artwork fashion, never cease to bedazzle the audience.
      They then had one of the most homemade kind of buffet they had ever had.
      What was on the line-up was Moroccan-countrystyle sauced fish fillet, Korean fried chicken, as well as Sinchew fried vermicelli.
     Yes, their study tour had finally ended with their rightful enrolment to the Baker’s College, located conveniently at Northern Pramperton, a town full of lush greenery.
