Blogging from British Council while waiting for my brother to finish his classes. Sigh... these days I dont have the time to update my blog... so wait till february...

I BEAT KUHAN!!!

I am about to do some bragging. Hehe… hope Kuhan likes it… he gave me specific instructions NOT to blog it… Anyway, here it goes… I beat Kuhan last week at BTS Scrabble Corner 2 games to 1 game. I only got the picture of the last board, because he hastily cleared the first board. Don’t really remember the scores but the spreads were +125, -134, +89. Oh yeah, and this blog will be quite inactive till February while I am Malaysia. The Internet connection at my house is down. Back to the picture, I placed ANTISERA through the R and PREDATE while he had SENSORS.

PRIZE OR NOT???

Haihz... still got 13 more days to Berjaya Times Square... really cant wait...

Anyway, got bored of taking pictures... I shall starve my audience of all the pictures they want from me... This may be the last week (or rather, last week and a day) that I will be blogging in Australia. Will be coming back to Malaysia after attending the speech night. There is a BIG chance that I will be getting the DUX of Indonesian Subject... Or the Industry... Or the General proficiency... Nah... Not keeping my hopes high. The prize lists will be out on Monday recess. Can't stop thinking about it.

The boading house is empty. EMPTY. Let me emphasize it ---EMPTY---!!! Well, err... almost empty. Year 12s are gone, so are year 11s after the exams, Year 10s are on a expedition called the bilbuldum track, (and I will be hearing stories of people getting pushed down cliffs hehe) year 9 and 8s are in the other boarding house. There are a few year 10s like me that are not going on the expdition. Around 5 -8. See. I told you it was empty. Normally there are around 200 people in the boarding house. Now got 8 only. SIGH.

Well, ISC is still blocked on my computer. Can anyone get any sense into those computer admins (AKA lab rats)... SCRABBLE IS NOT ANY NORMAL GAME!!!

Well, I leave you here while I go and play some offline Scrabble with the computer... :'(

HARRRRO

Blogging on a friend's computer while he is busy flirting on his handphone to his taiwanese girlfriend :P

Berjaya Times Square Open is only 16 more days away!!! And I am still in a dilemma whether to play in Under 18 or Under 15!!! Depends whether Kang Kang or Suanne is playing in either... hehe... trying to avoid the good people... how evil I am...

Ish... now my friend (Dick Listijono, an Indonesian) is going under his blanket and flirting. I can hear him telling her that woman are the sub dominant 'species' and are weak... Now he is apologizing... lol

I still doubt my scrabbling ability. I can win against fairly highly rated computers (I consistantly beat a computer program rated at 1645), however, I don't seem to be able to play at a consistantly at tournaments... I haven't even won a tournament yet!!!

Dick is kicking me off his laptop so bye for now :)

HOMESICKNESS

Felt feverish and homesick today. Why is homesickness hitting me when I am about to return? Anyway, went back home and played a few games of Scrabble with the computer. No highlights, except for when the computer played F*CK which it extended to F*CKS next turn.

Another of school tommorrow, and 1.5 more weeks till I am coming back!!! Berjaya times square 17 days away!!!

BORED!!!

Completed all major assignments that I was putting off and procrastinating on today. Bored. At least I have the holidays to look forward to. Eugghh. LOOK FORWARD TO??? I HAVE TO DO MY BRACES!!! ITS SUPPOSE TO BE PAINFULL!!! OUCH

Anyway, I DO have something to look forward to. Berjaya Times Square Open. 10 December. How many more days? Let me count... 18 no... 19 more days. SIGH. Its coming on me. Better study word lists soon.

Got to go now. Something is nagging me to go play scrabble. Oh and anyway, ISC still isn't working. SIGH

Bye

Well, you could say that this World Scrabble Championships was quite a failure for not only Malaysia, but the whole South East Asian Region.

Ganesh failed to secure the championships after losing 5 games in a row.
Malaysia failed to increase the quota of players.
Pakorn Nemitrmansuk got trashed by newly crowned WSC Adam Logan by a mere 3 games.
Singapore failed to increase their country's quota.

I was expecting more from the World Scrabble Championships finals. But Pakorn made a last turn blunder at the deciding match and handed the championships to Adam.

Ganesh could have got a thousand US dollars more if he won the last games against Australian Naween Fernando which he lost to by 5 points.

Sigh. 2007 would be better. I hope

ADAM LOGAN IS THE 2005 WORLD SCRABBLE CHAMPION!!!

Adam Logan is surrounded by the media. He is the 2005 World Scrabble Champion!!!

Adam defeated Pakorn Nemitrmansuk in the minimal 3 games by

G1
Adam Logan 524
Pakorn Nemitrmansuk 409

G2
Pakorn Nemitrmansuk 316
Adam Logan 520

G3
Adam Logan 465
Pakorn Nemitrmansuk 426

Howiszat!!!

WSC Update 10

Alas. Pakorn beats Gareth

Naween beats Ganesh

Finals Tommorrow

Pakorn and Adam

WSC Update 7

Gareth is leading 252 177

Come on!!!

WSC Update 4

Still analysing WSC

The Top 4 people with 13 wins are

Adam
Narween
Pakorn and
Peter

It is Pakorn vs Peter. Best result will be a draw so that neither would gain advantage of Ganesh's point if he wins

Adam vs Phil
Phil is a good player. Hope Phil beats Adam :P

Narween vs Akshay
Not so sure about this one but hope Ashkey wins.

GOO GANESH AND HENRY!!!

WSC Update 3

Analysing the Ganesh's chance of winning

Ganesh was leading the field by 2 games when he dropped 4 consecutive games to go to 4th then 7th.

There are 7 more games avalible and Ganesh must win all of them to have a chance.


There are 4 people that have 13 wins, namely,
Adam Logan (CAN)
(13-4, +988)



2. Naween Fernando (AUS)
(13-4, +472)



3. Pakorn Nemitrmansuk (THA)
(13-4, +301)


4. Peter Armstrong
(USA) (13-4, +26)

Ganesh must beat everyone and these people must lose to at least 2 people.

Ganesh then must win the 2 player finals.

Ganesh's next opponent: John O'Laughlin (USA)
Hope he beats him by a bigger spread so that he could get the benefits of his spread

JYNX everyone except Henry and Ganesh

GOOD LUCK GANESH AND HENRY!!!

WSC Update 2

It was a bad day for Malaysians in the WSC

Ganesh lost 4 consecutive games to drop to 7th from 1st while Henry is at 87th, not a good placing.

Fuck. I hope they both better their positions.

WSC Update

Just Passing an update.

Ganesh Asirvatham seems to be the star of the World Scrabble CHampionship. He is currently at 2nd place with 2 more days o go. Will he dethrone Adam Logan of Canada to claim first spot?

Henry is having a bad day, with 4 consecutive losses to hrow him to 79th place. Luckily he won his last game to bounce back to 66th place.

Spot Check

Today got spot check in the boarding house. Apparently someone is breaking into everyone's room so they check eveyone's room and pockets for keys. We then all complain to the master: Aiyoh, you think we will hide at places where it is easy to find meh? But still they want to check. Memang celaka.

Then the rumours started. Aih, I see ah I see that day ah, got blah blah blah going into someone's room you know... Aiyah.... all useless remarks

Wah... I waited outside from 7-8 30 then only come me's turn. The master check and check also din find anything.

(What do you think of the Malaysian Twist of languague I used? hehehe)

Blogging At Recess

Hi everyone. Just a random post from me at recess. Bye!!!

Scotch's Ambassador (is this spelling correct) To University of Western Australia

I have been selected to represent Scotch (in case you still don't, its my school's name) as the SMARTS ambassador to University of Western Australia. We have to do some kind of project thingy and give talks and stuff like that... still haven't got the details yet. Anyway, blogging 5 minutes before class starts so I got to go.
