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:)
