Ruler addicted to SimCity 4


It's true. Instead of leading the nation, Sheikh Ahmed bin Ahmedeen bin Omar bin Yakhi Where you been, plays a computer game throughout the day. SimCity 4 is a city-building simulation game created by well known entrepreneur, Max C'moniwannaplay.

Upon making an appointment with the Sheikh and appearing in his office for a private interview, the Sheikh had the following to say, "Shu Hada? What appointment?"

With the recession causing the economy to slowly circle the drain, we expect more effort from the ruler of the Afia oil-rich nation. "La, La," utters Sheikh Ahmed, which means 'No, No,' in the local language when we proceeded to ask him questions on the lack of action he is taking for the country. "La, La, La," he began to scream, only now we realized he wasn't saying no, he was singing along to an Ashlee Simpson song.

"You do not understand. There are no cheat codes in real life," the Sheikh finally responded. "In SimCity, i am always winning. They have easy level! And if level automatically becomes more, yakhi i break computer and buy new one," the Sheikh tells us enthusiastically. Upon telling him that he can simply restart the game with the same computer, we see his smile fade away to bring forth a rather constipated look, only to have the smile soon return as his peers barge into the office. "Taal Habibi Taal," screams the Sheikh as he gestures to his peers to have a look at the computer screen. "Zee Burj iz finally complete!" says the Sheikh with a tone of satisfaction and accomplishment. However, we ask you, will the Burj ever be complete in REAL LIFE?

  1. Haha, I think you are running yourself into a bit of a death-threat from the govt.

    I will still be able to access this blog and post regularly from Aus -- but unless you plan on moving to Sri Lanka in the near future, don't give Etisalat (in association with Du) an opportunity to block this blog! =P

    Sometimes the truth is dangerous, Snoop.

  2. Actually, if you look at the guy's screen carefully, seems like he's just checking Gmail... It's funny to think they had a group fascination session for the Gmail a/c....
