How to kill time!

I cannot believe summer holidays are ending! I survived two months of doing nothing really important without succumbing to boredom! Before the holidays I was all set to spend my time doing the part time job that I had got but unfortunately my college did not give me a no objection certificate in the last minute!
I was obviously not to happy but then instead I planned on going with my brother to Singapore! I was all excited about the trip but as fate would have it I had bungled with my passport(yes I can be very clumsy at times)number and my brother is vacationing without me(he is in Malaysia now)!
I was like "how am I going to spend my holidays????" but tell you people if you want to kill time Strategy games are the perfect answer!
I had not played PC games for almost 4-5 years but suddenly I got obsessed with playing games like Age of empires, age of titans! These games are just awesome time pass! not that I am 24*7 glued to them but time flies by playing them. There are a lot of such games with great graphics but I prefer the good old AOE because the other games are too much for a basic player like me :D
I do not play Lord of the rings but since my brother does its a great game too. So if you have a lot of free time in hand get a strategy game from your nearest CD store start with the tutorial and before you know it will be time to get busy again!
