Singapore Open Scrabble Championships!

During these 2 days of competition, never in my life have I experienced such antagonizing pain and mental tiredness. The process is always as difficult but the ending is always as relieving as it always is, yesterday.
I think I was too focused on winning during the 1st day and I only won 2 games out of 8 games. During the 2nd day, I told myself that I can do well presumably that I just enjoy the games and do not give any stress to myself. Ultimately, I have really learnt a very important lesson from this tournament. Never stress yourself on winning the competition. Just think about going there to have some fun and try your very best. That will suffice.
Indeed, during the 2nd day, I won 5 out of 8 games, losing 2 to Victor and another one due to time. I think strategies are really important in mind games.
Yesterday after the tournament had ended, Eden and I went to Yishun Northpoint Long John Silvers to eat dinner before going back home. The result is that this coming Saturday we might have a mini competition at my house, or rather training session.
When I have reached home, I was so tired that I went to bed straightaway and slept all the way till now, the next morning.

>I managed to increase ratings, by 1 only. Haha is it going to take too long to up further?

KFC with Larry and Zamir!

School's today pretty shagged after a tiring day of doing Entrepreneurship ICA 1 Written Report the previous day.
At the very least, I am starting to like Entrepreneurship after today's tutorial.
During the 1 hour break today, Larry, Fusen, Zamir and I went to play pool at Grassroot Club before going for CMFI Lecture.
Thereafter, Larry, Zamir and I went to Bishan Junction 8 to eat KFC.
Subsequently all of them went back home and I went to meet Song Peng for Tekken 6.
Everything went well today fighting Song Peng and my Lars managed to get promoted to Mentor even though later I used it, King and Paul to farm my Yoshimitsu to Brawler rank.
Song Peng went back at 8plus while I stayed to wait for Syaq until 10pm and he did not come at all.
This will be the first and last time ever that I am going to farm my card. ZZZ...

Sis back from Nepal!

Today's such a long day outside to conclude my day.
First of all after school today, I had a slight Entrepreneurship project meeting before going off with Noble to Bishan Virtualand for some Tekken games.
After some meticulous thinking and mind games, my Lars is finally up to 4th dan even though it is at the expense of my Mokujin. I just want to go higher and higher up~ Noble's King is also up to 3rd dan after fighting with my Mokujin. Back at Yishun, I played with Lotion and won all 6 games. Now my Lars is ready for Mentor rank anytime soon.
Reaching home at around 8pm, I slept till 8.30pm before going out with my parents and brother to Changi Airport to fetch my sister who was back from Nepal for a leadership programme.
Before we waited for her at Terminal 1, we took the Sky train to Terminal 2 and ate our dinner at Fish & Co after I managed to convince them in doing so.
Thereafter, we walked around for a short while before my Father and I went to Starbucks and bought White Chocolate Mocha Frappucino and Caffe Latte Espresso to drink and wait for my sister to come out.
On the way back home, my Father stopped his car nearby at the roadside to let my sister go down to Macdonalds and buy some burgers back home to eat.

Scrabble Practice Session with Goutham, Eden and Kiat Peng!

Have you ever tried straining your brain to the limits? Have you ever tested how your mental strength is? How strong is your mental strength?
I think Scrabble and Tekken make me realise my mental strength to the limits. Yesterday night I was so tired after reaching home from a long night in Bugis Virtualand.
Today Goutham and Eden reached my house at approximately 2pm and we started our Scrabble Practice Session all the way till evening time around 7.30pm. Kiat Peng reached my house at around 4plus and it was raining heavily but we were playing in the comfort of my house.
I won a total of 4 games out of 5 and Goutham had the same number of wins as me too. I think I could have won all if I was not distracted watching tv shows that my parents were watching as well.
My parents bought chicken rice back for everyone to eat except Goutham who is the usual vegeterian and only eats at home.
After they were all gone by 8pm, I watched tv together with my mum and slept on the floor for around half an hour before going to bathe to make myself more energetic.




>Next week is Singapore Open Scrabble Championships. I'm going to try my best!

Opportunity by the doorway!

After the experiences of playing Tekken today at Bugis, I now totally believe that opportunity only comes by once and that's it if you have forsaken it. It is just like time and it will never coming swinging by your doorway again.
The previous time I allowed Song Peng to promote his Jack-6 to Brawler rank and now even if my Yoshimitsu can constantly win him or other Brawler ranks, I can never promote to Rogue or higher ranks due to the difference in rankings. Haiya...I think my sleeping habits affect my playing as well. I can hardly focus sometimes after winning a few times. Next Friday I will try sleeping earlier and see whether it is possible for any promotion chances.
Kiat Peng created a new Lars card after giving me his Lars card today. On Thursday, I told him that I wanted to play Lars and he gave me his.
Alan came with him as well but they left early at 9.15pm as promised by Kiat Peng to Alan before they came as Alan did not have much money to play after topping up $200 at Timezone for the Double Value offer.
At around 7plus, we went for dinner at Food Junction.
Consistency is an effort made as well. Jian Hua and Anthony tried ranking matches just now and they kept on fighting till one of them was promoted to Legend and in the end Anthony managed to win and promote to Legend after numerous tiring matches.
My Yoshimitsu has the potential to promote but I lack the right ranks to fight with. Higher and higher up please!
At 11.36pm, Boon Kai came to ask me to go as our last bus would be gone if we were too late. Surprisingly, the bus was already gone. I remember it used to be last bus at 12.15am. Next time I must be more aware as the train that I managed to get in to Jurong East was also the last train. Phew~

By the way, today Larry, Fusen, Zamir and I played pool at Grassroot during the 2 hours break. Larry and I bought Ramly burger and brought it to Auditing tutorial class to eat.



>Life has to get more interesting! I am going to grab any opportunity that comes by. The best is to create it:)

Shopping with Larry, Fusen, Gintat and Bryan at Vivo City!

Sleeping till your energy is recharged is probably the best thing that can ever happen in this world. In contrast, sleeping late because you still have energy is different because the feeling is also different when you wake up the next day.
I think I am too used to sleeping late so I don't feel like wasting time in sleeping whenever it comes to the right time of sleeping.
In any case, my energy was recharged when I woke up this morning after sleeping for around 10 hours.
I think I must finish tutorials whenever I can because I always seem to spend time on any other areas other than studying and doing tutorials.
After meeting Larry, Fusen and Bryan at Yio Chu Kang mrt station, we went to Vivo City to shop. Gintat came slightly later to meet us and we went to eat at Long John Silvers first.
After shopping, I went to Bishan Virtualand to meet Song Peng for some ranking matches. It was not good trying with my Paul and I was nearly demoted instead.
My Yoshimitsu and King fared pretty good but there was hardly any ranking chances because of my low ranks. :( Sometimes I just wish I can fully concentrate on just 1 thing alone. This is practically the thing I was missing out nowadays.
After all the fights till 8.45pm, we went back home to rest. Chiong again on Friday!



>I lack the chionging spirit in what I really want for myself. ZZZ!
>Sometimes I just think I am too shy. LOL.

Happy Birthday Grandma!/ Family Dinner at Turf City Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant

I am not time-conscious at all. That's for sure.
Today I woke up at 1.30pm after sleeping at only 3.30am in the early morning. Most of the times I just waste time not doing anything and using my computer for the whole day.
Thereafter, the whole family was watching 第一剧场 from Singtel Mio Tv System.
My sister left for Nepal early in the morning at around 5am to the airport fetched by my parents. I wanted to send her off too but they did not wake me up to do so.
By 4.55pm, everyone got ready and left for Turf City to meet up with the rest to celebrate my Grandma's birthday. Like the last time my youngest aunt treated us at the Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant, we chose our seafood alive and kicking before they were brought into the kitchen for slaughter and cooking.
Out of so many dishes eaten today, the fish was definitely the best. I had never have such nice fish before. Lol it was exaggerating but it really tasted that superb!
Later we sang birthday songs in Chinese and English to my Grandma and ate fresh durian cake bought by my aunt. It costed $60 for the whole of D24 Durian Cake. Splendid!
I bought a new leather card wallet to hold all my Tekken Cards and I had still a little more spaces to cover for a few new cards.
After the celebration at Turf City, we went to my Uncle's house at Woodlands for a little while as he wanted to pass us some fresh fishes that he had just caught today while fishing.
Coming to think of it, I had failed my quote to do a tutorial a day. I did not do it on Friday and Saturday! Alas!


>I have to develop more self-discipline!
>Happy 75th Birthday, Grandma!

Tekken Craze!

It seems like I have been missing out a lot on my blog nowadays. I hardly update any information on what I have been doing recently.
Tuesday's a day at Bugis as well together with Boon Kai, Syaq, Song Peng and Alan. I received an sms from Alan to go to Bugis and I smsed every single person as well to go. It turns out that Boon Kai was already at Bugis so I went there to meet him first. He was playing with one guy from (Disc) using Christie and my King got demoted to Master because he kept on losing haha.
I tried using Yoshimitsu and fight against Song Peng and I won his Jack 6, demoting him to Mentor and myself promoting to Master. Alan used my Paul and fought against him before this and promoted to Marauder rank. However, later after dinner, at around 9plus before going back home, I fought lots of ranking matches with Song Peng and Boon Kai using my Devil Jin and got demoted to 3rd dan.

Pool's fun in Grassroot after the morning lectures in school.
Today's an early dismissal from school and thus I was early on my way to Bugis. Surprisingly, I saw a few of Dreamboat's cards and saw his Lee which was Conqueror rank as well. I tried fighting his Lee using my own Lee and Devil Jin against his Jin but it looked like it was not really fruitful.
Skills nowadays are a optimal level and I can't really lose too much fighting against some people in Bugis.
Syaq came over to join Boon Kai and I. Initially he was winning and leading ahead with lots of wins but it seemed that he played too much and his Yoshimitsu got demoted instead.
Later I tried all characters against Boon Kai but only my Yoshimitsu could win fruitfully against his Yoshimitsu and Law. My Paul had a ranking match with (+Loss) Dragunov guy and he got demotion risk although I did not feel like demoting him.
Syaq and I bought a Double Cheese burger and ate it before going back home by mrt train.
Reaching Yishun, we went to Macdonalds again and shared a set meal and chatted before we went back home to rest after a tiring Tekken Craze.




>The quote is "Think big, Plan Big, Do IT BIG!"
I am just going to do whatever that I feel like doing nowadays.

Post Noble's birthday celebration!/ The 3 Musketeers

Yesterday my secondary school clique and I had celebrations for Noble's birthday.
Happy Hari Raya Haji to all! Thanks to this public holiday, everybody gets a day off to stay at home or go out if you choose to.
The first thing I woke up to do was to accompany my father to buy lunch back for my siblings.
Later at around 1.15pm, I left house to meet Noble and Bob for lunch to celebrate Noble's birthday. As Noble and Leonard both had sore throat, they could not eat any fried food and thus we settled our meals in the food court.
Bob's Chocolate Lava cake was delicious. I think we should try business ideas on this kind of cakes/ pastries. It is a feasible method.
After lunch, we called Leonard to join us before we went to Bugis Shaw theatre for movie. The 3 Musketeers was a nice and humorous movie to watch.
Thereafter, we went to AMK for dinner at the food court because we were thinking of playing LAN or Pool preferably.
It ended up we played L4D all the way till around 10 plus before going back home to rest and prepare for the next day.
Tutorials are still not yet done! 1st week of school is still like a holiday for me. I need some time management.



>Happy Birthday Noble bro!

Dim Sum at Turf City!/ Adrenaline Rush!

How long has it been since I last reaped the benefits of sleeping early?
Actually I don't really intend to sleep early the previous day but I was so tired that I fell asleep on the bed while lying down.
Waking up at 10.30am, I prepared myself as my youngest aunt told us that she would be coming to fetch us at 11am to go to Turf City's Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant for Dim Sum.
Although it wasn't buffet, we ordered what we wanted to eat till our heart's content. We ate and chat all the way till 2.30pm before leaving to go to Jurong Point for window-shopping.
Ern Ern and Amanda was fetched back home in Jurong West whereas my aunt, brother and I walked to Jurong Point to "jalan".
As usual, I always like the feeling of going out with my family members. After walking for a while, we settled down at Long John Silvers for some drinks and I drank my favourite drink, Ice Milo.
At around 4.43pm, I realised I was rather late in meeting Syaq and Boon Kai at Bugis so I took the Green Line all the way to Bugis.
Today's a rather interesting day at Bugis as a Malaysian Tekken player came today initially with the intention to challenge Dreamboat but he wasn't around. Seeing his Legend rank Bryan and fighting his Fujin rank Steve was even more interesting. I nearly won because the distance to "bang" him just wasn't enough. LOL.
Syaq and Song Peng left early. Boon Kai and I went for dinner at Food Junction as usual before returning back to Virtualand.
I had 2 promotion chances with my Paul today but I didn't manage to grab it. I think my Paul is on the verge of improving or changing to another era as the number of practices increase.
Later Boon Kai fought Michael's (+Loss) Furholden and got promoted to Warrior even though he felt bad demoting him to Marauder.



>Adrenaline rush on the way home!
>Gonna sleep early whenever I can nowadays. =D

Year 3 Semester 2 Week 1 over!/ Tekken at Serangoon Nexxx

Year 3 Semester 2 Week 1 is over! Time passes so fast that I think I am still caught up in my IPP life.
There's only 2 lectures today. After printing some tutorial stuffs at the photocopy shop, Larry, Fusen, me and the rest had lunch at Koufu before Larry and I went to Serangoon Nexxx.
I bought a keychain today that was actually an Artic gun and I think it's magnificent. Games today at Serangoon Nexxx were awesome too together with Transformers and the Korean guy although I think they still win more compared to me.
We played till 7pm before leaving back to Yishun. Back to Yishun, Kiat Peng and I met my disciple at Northpoint Timezone and I tried ranking matches with him but it ended up that he only had demotion chance in the end. I let win in the end and I used the credit for Roger Junior but the controls are really too sucky.
Wei Cong and Raven came as well but as I was pretty tired with all the games at Serangoon Nexxx, Kiat Peng and I went back home respectively.
This semester is going to pass as quickly as well, as can be predicted.



>Tomorrow's Dim Sum with my aunt, brother and cousin! Followed by Tekken with Boon Kai, Syaq and Song Peng at Bugis! Chiong!
>This semester is the last semester of this Poly life so it is better to make it a fruitful one.
