Lost to America who was too strong. Already lost a big group early in the game. Then in desperation, I outlined an unreasonably huge moyo, but he managed to invade and live.
Also Japan lost to Korea. Looks like my SOS will be quite high. Hope I can get at least 4 wins to get decent ranking.

Third round finished

Went to Akihabara with Martin from the Philippines yesterday. However we were too overgrown to enjoy the abundance of anime stuff there. I used to enjoy anime a lot, now not so much. Perhaps if I have 42″ LCD TV, then I could again.
The third game had just finished. I got my second win against [...]

Yesterday, me together with Ruechagorn (Thailand), Martin (Indonesia) and Chee Hiong (Singapore) went to Ikebukura to eat. They were all so crazy about ramen, but I had steamed shrimp dumpling instead. Twice ! I love seafood so much.
Participants of WAGC stay in Grand Arc Honzomon Hotel, which is located at about 20 minutes walk from [...]
Anime life

I remember an ex-chaletmate of L19 making fun of me, for trying to live an anime life. True, it was quite silly when I took up kendo for trying to be Himura Battousai of Rurouni Kenshin Samurai X. It was even sillier when I took up boxing after being hyped up from watching Hajime no Ippo, [...]
Hello from Narita :)

Touched down at Narita at 7 a.m. Very early, no other participant was here yet, at least I didnt see any. After checking in into my room, I took shuttle bus to the city centre and wasted about one hour walking in the wrong direction.
I got back to where the shuttle bus dropped me and [...]
Yay, unrecorded leave :)

I kinda hooray-ed when I received the letter from HR, approving my application for unrecorded leave for five days starting next Monday. I’m starting to think, I love working here !
I encountered many people talking about how they want job with greater responsibilities, challenging and things like that. I used to be like that too, simply mimicking the [...]
I want money!

Yesterday, as I was withdrawing money to pay this month’s rent, I realise there was not much left in the bank. Scary ! I have worked for half year already, there should be some decent saving at least.
Many people told me not to expect to save anything in my first few years working. Perhaps I [...]
Travelling, my new love.

I’m thinking of going to Brunei this June. So nice of Xinwen to offer me accomodation. He said Hazim and Haidar could also house me.
I want to quit my job and travel around the world !
Ok, who doesn’t like travelling? The real problem is not money, but getting leaves from work ! Travelling is quite [...]
Let’s eat less

People have been seeing more of me lately.
Haha.. that’s a weird way to say I’m fat !!
I eat every time I’m bored. That’s quite a disease. And I eat everything free, feeling stupid if I dont. Tomorrow, an insurance lady is going to call me up to meet for lunch. Just when I start thinking of [...]
