Disclaimer: Some cluttered thoughts by a Sudoku addict.
This addiction started in late 2007, when one boring day I surfed the Internet and searched for something that could “tickle” my brain. I tried answering a bunch of crossword puzzles, reading movie reviews and some blogs, only to realize that answering online crossword is not the remedy for my terribly growing boredom sickness.
And then I came across Sudoku.
Intrigued by the term itself, I browsed the help menu to see how this thing works. Soon, I found myself getting a scratch of paper – randomly trying to decipher each box. After completing my first box, I knew I was up for something that can seriously tickle my bored mind at that moment. Imagine the Eureka moment for me when I completed my first set. It was like successfully running your first program in Turbo C!
Since then, I got hooked. I must’ve stormed National Bookstore many times over just to get Sudoku puzzles – easy and difficult, I don’t give a damn. Haha.
Today, I have beaten my personal record. I have finished and correctly answered 15 sets of Sudoku puzzles in 79 minutes!
Geeky? Nah. While some would answer crossword puzzles, solve riddles and what have you's - mine is Suduko.

So, yes - mind your own brain. Haha.
