Then, I went back to the hotel/motel... watever to call it a night... I wished... but i needed to stay up becoz some of them who were sharing the room weren't here yet... Kai and Seng Fatt reached the place at about 1am... while Faisal(or izzit Faizal) reached about 1.30am... so, ended up sleeping at about 2am...(actually 3am eastern time...)...

Couldn't really sleep for the night becoz 3 of us sharing the bed... well, and it's kinda hot in the night and it was quite cold the next morning, and too bad... Kai and Seng Fatt kinda grabbed hold of the blanket... so, the chill kinda woked me up at 5am, 6am and 7am... went to grabbed a donut at the front desk...(dunkin donuts... :P) and I'm off for the big event... well, the opening ceremony wasn't bad... but well, the speakers and the emcee are not good either... so, ppl started to have their own chats while the speakers were giving their obviously-written-by-someone else speeches... forgot to mention that the honorable guests are the Minister of Higher Education from Malaysia... Datuk Dr. Shafie Salleh and also the Ambassador of Malaysia to US Datuk Ghazali Sheikh....

so, after the opening ceremony, the launching of the games, and all, the game started at 10.40am... well our first basketball match, up against the 4-time defending champion team...Nebraska B... and fair enough, our amatuerish and never(really never) get together hybrid team who was worried that we would be disqualified becoz couldn't meet the minimum 7 team members was quashed, stomped, humiliated, screwed, and watever with a devastating score of 67 - 6... oh yar... i played for the first half only because of my table tennis match at 11.30am... and when i got there, i waited for 10 minutes, and yet, my opponent didn't turn up, so i just won my first match without lifting my racket... next match at 12.30pm...

so, i ran back to the basketball court to watch the horror butchering from University of Nebraska over our hybrid Michigan team...(with a friend from Carnegie Mellon University...and some frens from RPI....) after that, I went back to the table tennis court and won a tight match 3 - 2... wow... with the 3rd game in the ended up with a score of 14-12...(duece...) well, i'm a better player... but i'm nervous and wasted the opportunity of winning the game early on... but... whew... a win is a win... :P (i won the last point with my opponent making a mistake of serving the ball long... :P)

so, went back to the basketball court at about 1pm... this time, we played against Case Western Reserve University(CWRU)... well, we did took a lead... and we were quite close in terms of the points for most of the first half... suddenly, we just got lost, and we just threw the game... and ended losing like 11 - 20+.... 

and at about 1.30pm, i went to play my Quarterfinal Match... won the match 3 - 1... yeah... I'm thru the semifinal... next game at 3.30pm... right now.... i'm really starving... imagined the only thing that I ate for the past 18 hours was just a donut.... so, at 2pm, we played our last match of basketball... against the host team... UIUC... and again, we were really close at first... and made a few mistakes here and there and let them to have a comfortable lead, and that's it... We lost all our matches in the group and sank to the bottom of the table...

after that, we went to grab our lunch... well, had nasi lemak for lunch.... not bad... but it would be better if it was spicier... that's about 3pm... didn't drink the Mountain Dew becoz i've a game at 3.30pm... so, i went there with a full stomach... and whew... luckily it didn't give me a huge trouble... and i went on to win the match 3 - 0....(i think).... so, that's it, i'm in to the FINAL... tomorrow 12pm....live at UIUC...

so, the next match at 4.30pm... doubles... we waited for more than 10 minutes again... we got the free win again.... then, our opponent showed up... and they wanted to play... so, Kai and I decided to be nice and played them, and we won the match too... and the next match at 5.30pm... and we lost it...  :(

so, after that, we found our friend...my housemate back in INTEC, Yik Han to be our tour guide... he led us around the campus, UIUC is not bad... nice place, nice acrhitecture... nice town... but it is more 'kampung' village-like... later, he brought us to a Chinese restaurant - Mandarin Wok... and he rushed back to work... the food was delicious... and the price is cheaper than that of Ann Arbor... well well.... i think JPA should re-evaluate our allowance... at least use the COLA....(Cost of Living Allowance) system... it's unfair for us to be paid the cheaper rate and having us to spend the high cost of living here in Ann Arbor.... 

after dinner, it's about 8.30pm... Kai and I walked back to our hotel...(dun wanna trouble our senior...), it's not a long walk... just about 20 minutes... reached the hotel/motel and bathed and all.... watched the basketball match... Spurs vs Suns... well, Suns won the match and was 3 - 0 up...

later, we watched the AC Milan vs Liverpool Champions League Final on my laptop... and not a bad match... those saves... and those celebration... and went to bed at about 1am....

now that u guys need something to stimulate ur clogged and clouded mind...

here's a brainteaser...

QUOTE(from a forum, which was quoted from another blog(which i think quoted from another source)):

Safe sex

There are 2 guys and 2 girls. The 2 guys want to f*ck the 2 girls (ie each guy screws both girls) but there is a problem ... There are only two condoms available. Use the condoms any way you want - reuse, flip it, etc - but you cannot wash it.

No body fluids can be exchanged (even girl-girl or guy-guy exchanges), else the sex would not be considered safe from STDs.

How can the task be done?
"UNQUOTE"
Hopefully this question will keep ur juice flowing... not THAT juice... but ur BRAIN juice...

got it?

I should be studying right now... with 4 FINALS in the span of 3 days looming ahead... from 25 April - 27 April... and with an iPod photo at stake... my bro promised to get me one if I get a 4.0 GPA for this semester, so, i should really be studying my ASS off right now...


BUT WHY am I typing my way here? Well, because the weather is too nice for me to study(not a reason because I'm staying indoor typing crap here...) Actually, because I'm too bored, sitting at the front desk, waiting for people to come and buy stamps, envelopes, asking for TP(toilet paper that is), trash bags, sorting mail, issuing temporary card to those who locked themselves out of their own room...silly ain't they? human invented lock to prevent others from entering their room, while these people do a much better job in preventing themself from entering their own room and get fined by me at the mean time...adding funds to the already rich University... all those seemed to be trivial but actually VERY important task...

try to imagine if i wasn't here to give out toilet paper.. how are U going wipe ur S after crapping?? don't tell me, I DON'T want to know...

another situation, if i wasn't here, and u locked urself out.... and u need to grab ur assignment in ur room, which is due in 30 minutes time... so, where are u going to ask for help??

See how omnipotent I am... muahaha...

damn, i can sense that i'm getting lamer and lamer each day... hopefully others' level of tolerating lameness is increasing as fast as my level of lameness increment...

so, i should really sign off now.... and see you guys later...

ciao...

take care and peace out....
