preparing and going all out

hey guys. First of all, like I said before Rafael Nadal would win the French Open. haha and how right I was. I guess Djokovic just has to wait a little longer. Next Grand Slam up is Wimbledon, hmmm what are his chances? Anyway, I'm having a scrabble tourney up next week in Penang from the 20-22 June. I'm leaving this Friday early morning bout 3-4 am and will be back Sunday night. The entry fee itself is rm100 plus the cost it will take to go to and fro ( not to mention the recent rise in petrol price ), it's gonna cost a hefty sum of money. I hope I do well, I'm confident I can do alot better than the previous few tourneys. I think I've improved certain parts of my game and I'm gonna go all guns blazing. With 1000 USD up for grabs and rm1000 for runner-up and loads more until 9th runner-up spot, I think I should be geared up to go for it. Besides, I think it's time I break outta my shell and show what I'm worth and make my parents proud at the same time. I've still got a few days left before that big one and let's just wait and see what happens yeah? hehe
And for all you football fans out there, Euro2008 is underway. My team, Holland has kicked of to a fantastic start with a 3-0 rout of Italy last week. My 2nd team, Portugal is also doing very well having already qualified for the next stage winning the Czech Republic and Turkey. Holland are playing France tonight in group C ( tipped as the group of death ) whilst Italy are entertaining Romania in the other match. If Holland wins it and Italy beat Romania, it's gonna be a nail-biting finale between France and Italy, however if Italy lose or draw and Holland fail to beat France, then Italy are in a real doubtful situation. We'll just wait and see, oh by the way the first match just started, I think I better go watch it now before I miss out on any juicy highlights.
Tomorrow's gonna be crazy, having to be at church at 12pm until 8pm literally eating up my whole day. I'll try to blog again tommorrow if I have the time. Till the next time, it's darren here signing off..
