Malaysia vs Australia??

While I was cheering on the Malaysian Commonwealth team today (much to the disapproval to my Australian friends, as I would give up a cheer everytime the top contendor who isn't a malaysian commits an error (which is frequently australian)), one of my friends, aware of my frequent scrabble pursuits, posed me with a rather interesting question:

Who would win if the top three from Malaysia faced off with the top three in Australia.

This is quite an interesting question, as Ganesh would certainly trample the field, and the question in whether the other 2 malaysians would prevail. One other win would give them the match, but does malaysia have the ability to do so.

What do you think readers? I would like to have everyone's opinion on this.

On a diffrent note, Malaysia isnt doing that bad. VIVA AL MALAYSIA.

Le MALAYSIAN OPEN!!!

Malaysian open during the 22-23 April. Yay. ITS WHEN I AM BACK!!! Finally able to prove myself (or not as kuhan will happily testify).

Hope that the organizers don't change the dates or more inportantly, not to screw up. Apparently its gonna be a new format. There will be a common division, and then by the end of the day the divisions will be split. Hmm... interesting. Shame that Henry wont be going though

Have a lot of assignments. Want to die already...

SMARTS + Debating

HELLO EVERYONE!!! Sorry for the long break I took... I had many assignments (the most at one time was 9). Will try to keep more active.

SMARTS. This is a program where schools in WA send their ambassador to University of Western Australia to participate in a project. As luck would have it, I was selected by one of my favourite teachers, Ms Dempster, my teacher last year. However, I could not make it to the first introoductory meeting. Its a long story. So here it goes. I called the taxi to fetch me to UWA at 3:00pm. I waited for about 1/2 hours and called again... They said they were COMING... So i waited... at 4:30 I rang again and started making a big fuss and complaining. Part of the conversation:

Victor: Stop passing me around. I am getting sick and tired of this

operator: Sorry, but this is not in my department. I am transfering you to the complaints department

Victor: ... (Before I could tell him that I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TRANSFERED TO THE COMPLAiNS DEPARTMENT...)

operator from complains department: hello, how may I help you

Victor: I just want to say I will never use swan taxis again. What customer service is this? (puts down (more like SLAM!!!) phone)

Mine you... I have already been transfered about 5 times... So i called the Black and white taxis. 5 o clock also never turn up. So i got fed up and decided not to go to the meeting (started at 4 :P)

Oh... and by the way the debating season is about to start. First debate, this tuesday. Topic: That guatamano bay's detainees should be realeased. I am taking the negative side. No chance... Plus, we are new to this senior debating field and we are against veterens from Hale College... Die

Our second topic is the humourous one. That australia should allow gay marriages. We are taking affirmative LOL

Anyway, got to go now... BYE
