Ok, back to topic... First event is the Farewell party for Yanglaoshi @ Hwachong. This one is organised by our Juniors for Yanglaoshi. While it was a chance for them to say goodbye to YLS, I also happened to meet most of my Hwachong weiqi friends. With everyone busy with army etc, it's very hard to find a time when everybody is free... After the party we went to KAP to eat, and promised to have another gathering for the weiqi people at the end of the year.
Next event is the Japanese Summer Festival (夏祭り) at a Japanese Primary School at Changi. This is the first time I went to this event. Last year I think due to Army I couldn't make it. It was quite fun! Even though there were a lot of people and it was almost impossible to move around without bumping into anyone, the whole mood was there. I also managed to rent a yukata to wear. Kind of hard to walk about though, and I could have picked a better one... But some people really looked nice in yukata. I also did a bit of bon-odori before going back. Hope I can go again next year! And if I possible I want to go to the real matsuri in Japan!
ゲゲゲの鬼太郎！
Very nice mood~
People dancing on the stage~
After the Summer Festival I rushed to this place called Amaranda Gardens to celebrate Teacher's Day for YLS and KLS. It was organised by SWA. Kind of early for Teacher's Day, but since I was outside camp, I decided I should go and drop by also. Who knows the moment I reached there, YLS filled me a small cup of XO. He said he had been keeping this bottle for very long, and everyone drank 1 cup already. Having no choice, I had to drink the XO sip by sip, because I really couldn't take it... It was kind of... spicy. Anyway some people were playing weiqi, and the moment I reached they started taking photos. Zhixiong got into trouble again, by being thrown into the pool... Haha. But this time he brought Sionghwai along with him, who sadly had his phone, mp3 player and wallet inside his pocket...
Happy teacher's day, YLS and KLS! (KLS left before I reached there...)
Last Thursday, there was a platoon BBQ organised by our PC. It was held at East Coast Park, which was very far from my house... And since it was on a weekday, it was even harder to get there... I tried to take bus from Bedok, but it seems that I had alighted at the wrong stop. I couldn't find the underpass at first... And after I found it I reached ECP but it took me around half an hour to walk to the BBQ pit... Haiz~
But the BBQ itself was nice! Some people kept eating, some people kept cooking, while some people just sat there to chill around. There were also people there whom I didn't expect to see. It's nice to have this kind of cohesion once in a while~
Singapore Weiqi League 2009 concluded on last Sunday. Even though it was the last day there were still a lot of happenings. I thought that after the previous few rounds, the final ranking wouldn't change anymore, but things didn't turn out the way I expected. First of all Yaxin lost to Song Yufeng from NTU, which of kind of unexpected. This way 棋局弈山河 lost 1 小分 and I think they lost another 小分 after that, and became on par with us. Hwachong on the other hand lost 2 小分 due to FCC losing 2 matches, and we were leading them by 1 小分 before the last game. And as if to make the finishing move, in our last match against 酒, Li Chao won Zhou Xiang by 1.5 points, and we managed to finish the day without losing a single 小分！Since our 小分 is the same with 棋局, and we won them by 2-1 when we played them, we actually got the team champion! Woohoo! 3 cheers to 长春二队！I'm sure Mr Fu will be so happy that his team finally got champion. This was our only chance to get champion, and it actually came true. I'll have to thank Li Chao for that also. Also not to forget my other team mates Sionghwai and Shiaw-yen. Good work, guys!
On this day, I let Meiyu help me take photos while I was playing games. I told her to take more because I will select among them, but I didn't expect her to take hundreds of photos... Haha, nice photos though. Maybe next time I'll look for her help again. In the end I became lazy to choose, so I uploaded almost everything to facebook. The gallery can be found here:
酒VS棋局弈山河
Probably one of the highest level games there
Wonder what she's looking at and what she's thinking...
Photo of us 3!
Ah, finally I have someone to help me take photo~
Is he thinking about the game or about the Prelims...?
So many audience...
Another high level game...
Good one， Li Chao!
Yay! Team Champion!
长春二队rocks!!
I guess I was kinda happy also~
League Champion trophy. This year it's quite nicely made~
