tears and joy all around

Yo, yeah i know. Months since I've been here. Anyway, stop whining I'm here aren't I?
Well, as you all know mid-term just passed and we're cruising into the holidays. I managed to attend the 3rd MYSC challenge last week on the 24th and 25th. This time around it drew as much as 140+ (pic) participants, the most we've had so far. I however didn't fare so well, or at least not what I had expected of myself, partly due to the lack of practice lately. I finish the tourney coming in at 21st and it was a rather demoralizing perfomance all round. I have to congratulate my cousin though putting in a fine performance coming out untouched with 11 wins outta 11. Well done, Scott. Sean too was no shy of expectations as he came out on top with 3rd placing. It's a bitter dissapointment that I have to swallow but at least I met with some old mates that I have not seen in a few years including my dear teacher Pn. Thiliham. I think I'll look back at this and learn the few mistakes that proved so costly but yeah, let's just move forward.
Among the bingoes from which I produced were GITTERN, GUANINES, ENTRAIN, PINNETS, ATOMISE, PITCHER, TURDION, ERODING, BENDIEST, ENTAILED, ADVANCES, MOURNERS, SAUROID, FEATHERS, GARIALS, REPOTTED, NIDOROUS, BAILERS, STANYEL, INTRADOS and TREATING. Come to think of it, my bingoes were small in number and those in which I played weren't eye openers. Gosh, it's all just gone horribly wrong. I still have a couple of tourneys to redeem myself before WYSC in December.

Away from the scrabble scene, I've not been doing much except laze around and watching TV. Euro2008's coming up and I hope you all give great support to your respective teams. My favourite team here is Netherlands though I tip Italy or Germany to sweep the title. Anyway, Euro2008 isn't to start for another couple of weeks. For all you tennis fans out there, the French Open is currently underway. I want Novak Djokovic(pic) to win but it's gonna be tough wresting it from Rafael Nadal. Keep tuning to Channel 811 on Astro every 6 pm local time to catch some action of it. Till the next time peoples, darren here signing off.
