Scrabble

On 30-31 January 2010, I went to University Malaya for a scrabble competition. It was jointly organized by New Straits Times and First Residential College of University Malaya. So what was the result? Ha ha some details below will enlighten you.

This was my first competition after a long break since 2009. My last competition would be the one in SEMSAH in 2008. So after a while, I thought this year would be a good time for me to get active with some activities after having a six months break.

This competition was divided into two categories: Interschool and Intervarsity category

I had the longest day in my life when I had to endure eight games during my first day. It was really tiring and things became worst when you had to face professional players in every round. Memang cari pasal lah kan- amateur vs pro!

Ha ha I was defeated in most of the games. But, I remained consistent towards my goal as I believe with fighting spirit which will make you immune from anything (padahal aku dah nak give up kot).

So the best part was only when I had the chance to meet my friends who study there: Ungku, Am and Cacat. The whole experience was too poignant for me ha ha.

Lesson learnt: Make sure you have a good vocabulary, practice a lot and know how to read your opponent (I don’t think you will buy my tips pun ha ha)

I will have my revenge next year. I will be back he he.

P/S: Ha ha bila aku tengok words yang gempak and pelik, I told myself “takpalah kot kalah dengan orang yang hafal word pelik-pelik, no big deal he he”.
