What a long day it has been ... a lot of funny things happened today, dunno where to start. First round against Boon Lay team B, the round was starting and both my coach and leslie were no where to be found. Zixian called them only to find out that coach was stuck in the MRT (will be elaborated further on) and leslie took the wrong direction of the MRT!! ZZZ, it was really nerve wrecking but in the end leslie made it in time but not coach, so my coach's match was declared a loss )=

Coach arrived 35 minutes after the first round started )= .... sianzz it was really unlucky. Apparently someone committed suicide on the MRT track, causing a part of the North-South line (somewhere near Kranji) to halt their service, so my coach was stuck in the MRT for like 20 minutes, before the civil service came to pry the door open >.< He spent $15 on taxi fare just to get there but still couldn't make it in time. He was damn pissed and so were we ... because of that 冤枉 loss, our team drew with Boon Lay team B. zzzzzzzz....

For me, I played against Zhang You Bin, supposedly an imba player(maybe 甲级) and I won very quickly coze he moved an opening that I was familiar with and I sacrificed car and won ... strictly speaking it was a 陷阱布局 and he fell right into it, so it was pretty tyco that I won. I think if we were to play again I would lose.

Second round was against Bouna Vista A, haizz played against zhu yong ji, a national player. My time was running out then I 放出胜负手 but lost in the end coze of four words that my coach likes to use: 对手太强.

My team got third in the group round robin matches. Basically there are 2 groups of 6 teams each and within each group, every team has to fight it out with the other 5 teams for group ranking. The top 2 from each group will then fight it out for 1st to 4th placing overall, 3rd and 4th from each group will then fight it out for 5th to 8th and so on and so forth. So we had to fight for 5th placing, out coach then went off to play mahjong with his friends coze he felt there was no meaning in fighting for fifth?!?!?! @#$%^&*().

LOL, ever since coach left it was pressure free as our team was down to three men. So ... haizz 3rd round today was against 白沙东, played a China guy, was pretty tired then and sort of screwing around, but I managed to draw the game in the end, leslie won but zixian lost so it was our team's loss and here is where the funny thing happened ... Apparently the 白沙东 players sat at the wrong boards and it was declared our win by default, LOL haha a competition on Christmas Day is so screwed. We gave Boon Lay one board as a Christmas gift, and now 白沙东 gave us theirs in the form of a team victory. Christmas is a season of giving afterall.

Last game was against Boon Lay B(again!), but this time their formation was different. Played against Ming Hao, was down 2 pawns but managed to draw the game with much effort. Both Zixian and Leslie lost though, so we lost for real this time. A very amusing thing happened though, Zixian's opponent was the opponent I tycoed this morning. They moved EXACTLY the SAME thing and Zixian also set up EXACTLY the SAME trap, but obviously this time Zhang didn't fall into the trap so Zixian lost. Zixian didn't know that I won him using tt trap this morning and felt stupid for setting up the same trap ... Zixian could have won though if Zhang didn't play me this morning, haha what a twist of fate ...

6th overall, not too bad I guess, considering our coach pungseh us for the last 2 rounds. Personal record: 3 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws.

Econs hw due tmr, haven't touched it but dun think anyone is doing so I just take my time bah ...
