Guys, I need help!!I recently discovered a place where pirated music CDs are sold. It was quite innocent, actually. Just finished lunch with my colleague, had a bit of a walk to ease our heavy stomachs, turned around the corner, and voila! There it was. Stacks and stacks of illegal & pirated CDs. Almost ANY song you can wish for. You want it, they don't have it, you come back in two days. They'll have it ready for you. New albums in the market? No worries, you can find them here. Even better, they have great compilations of songs, compilations which do not even exist in the REAL, LEGAL world. If you buy the normal compilation CD at normal stores, chances are, you'll end up hating the greater half of the disc, forced to buy songs you hate for the sake of 4-5 songs that you really like..Hmmm.. perhaps I should buy one, just for kicks. "Bet the quality is poor. Can't beat the original lah!" I muttered to myself.But hey, it's just 7 bucks. What have I got to lose, right?Once back at the office, I slid the CD into my player, sat back in my not-so-comfy chair, and listened to it.25 songs in total - 19 of them my favourites, another 5 of which I could tolerate, and one other track which I completely couldn't stand. *Hey, you can't have it all, right?* But you know what? All 25 songs - including the one which could gimme stomach cramps - sounded great! As in, very, very clear and smooth! No scratches, no background noise, no reduced volume, etc etc etc. The CD that I bought had none of the flaws that I expected from a cheap, illegally-pirated compact disc.JACKPOT!So of course, I had to go back. Went there again 2, 3 days after the first time. Hah! New stock! New titles! Bought 2 CDs this time.Loved them too.So the week that followed saw me buying another 2 or 3. Or more. Can't remember.Yep, loved them too. Oookayyy...And so it went, day after day, lunch hour after lunch hour, 2 to 3 CDs per visit.... until finally, it crossed my mind to count the number of CDs I have bought from that place. 1,... 2,...... 3,..................WHAT??! This can't be right. TEN CDs in 3 WEEKS??!!!Tepik aku. Tekejuk.How did that happen? In 3 weeks?? Before that place, I barely bought 1 CD every 2 to 3 months! Told this to Syiro, who theorized a very good explanation.Hang terkena laa aku rasa. Cina tu letak ubat senyonyong dak?Hmmm.. iye lah tu Syiro. What, Chinese bootleg CD peddler by day, black magic wizard by night?Hehe, precious Syiro.Anyway, ubat senyonyong or not, black magic ke, white magic ke, I knew for a fact that -I'M ADDICTED!Can anyone hear me? This is a cry for help!*A.C.D Anonymous = Anti Compact Discs Anonymous! Hehe..
